A Terror Sight: Meeting The Hunter

In the deep forest, Tsuyo and Kogū are walking down a trail. Tsuyo let out a sigh as he continued to try, and fail, to ignore Kogū's random questions.

"Tsuyo-sama, where exactly are we headed?" Kigū asked, bubbly.

Tsuyo nearly leaped in joy but composed himself. Still though, a question that he could actually answer. "Well, Kogū" Tsuyo began. "We are simply heading towards the next town over. We need to restock on supplies."

Kogū was about to respond before she suddenly stopped walking and looked left, making Tsuyo question her sanity for a moment.

"Tsuyo-sama?"

"Yes, Kogū? What is it?"

"I smell something that way," she pointed towards her left. "It smell like something large was burnt." Kogū explained in a rather confused tone.

Tsuyo closed his eyes in thought. Kogū's sense of smell was rather impressive and a had helped on numerous occasion. It could be a remote village of sorts and they could restock on their supplies. He stayed silent, thinking it over before saying, "Alright, let's go check out the situation over there." Kogū clapped, excited and they walked off, following Kogū's nose.

Eventually, they came to a rather open area. The ground was littered with various soldiers of sorts, all not moving. The ground also had noticeable burn in the area, most likely causing the smell that Kogū picked up.

"T-T-Tsuyo-sama, are these men..?" Kogū asled, her voice startled.

Tsuyo said nothing, walking across the are-no, the battlefield. He walked around, looking for what caused this and potential survivors. He came to a rather untouched spot, the ground not scarred or burned in anyway.

'' 'Is it possible that one person did all this? No, that is preposterous. No one can cause such destruction on their own.' '' Tsuyo thought to himself. He was pulled out of his thoughts when he heard Kogū yelling, calling him over. He quickly got up and dashed to her location. He arrived to see her pointing toward a bush. He looked down and was briefly shock.
