|ooh lucky you! You get me to write a section of what happens with Hunter!|

Hunter dropped his scroll in panic. They would take him back, back, back. He started panicking. He had no where to go or hide or run or seek or shelter or stay or live. But what could he do? Run. His legs carried him faster than light, his mind searing with terrible thoughts. He found a cave, just as it began to rain. He glanced at the palisman beside him, giving it a sad smile. Flapjack had been his only friend, the only one left. Flapjack fluttered up to Hunter's face as he tried to touch the rain. Flapjack told him no, it'll only make the pain worse. Hunter just laughed it off, saying that the pain was already there. It couldn't get worse, it couldn't. Hunter held his hand up to the rain, fire seeping through his skin. Anyone would be concerned, but it didn't hurt him. In fact, although this was a trait of the thing he hated go be, it made him calmer than ever. He sat in it all, not a single drop hurting. But then, he heard lighting. He rushed inside the cave, just as the real storm began. But, although it may be weird, he fell asleep. His sleep was dreamless, that was good. But when he woke up, that's where three unexpected visitors stood.
