Frozen Basin: Hunters Would Be Hunted

It took some time but the shelter was ready for the twenty five hunters.

It was fifth day of the journey and third dose of the herb which Jen was taking to keep her disguise spot on, but the severe signs were started to appear, her body was no more able to chew one more dose and if she did, she won’t be able to escape from the affects.

So in this one day, she has to kill all the remaining hunters.

As soon as the shelter was ready, the hunters were pleased, it was much better than to stay in the open.

“You are quite intelligent, your leader must have been very diligent to lead you and others,” the Omega praised Jen because it was her idea.

It was common fact that a leader polished the capabilities of the subordinates, so this was the reason that he sent this frail hunter and he survived the whole journey.

“My leader learned to behave like humans to avoid any suspicion, and this let us to occupy the whole dark region,” Jen answered confidently.

“Impressive, we will learn from your leader too,” the Omega nodded.

The custodians were waiting for the next orders from their master.

When Jen was saved by a hunter back then, she secretly brought out her diction and stuffed in the clothes of the hunter, It was when the strong junior Omega was killed by the custodians in the very beginning of the journey.

She thought to use this in case she was left with no choice, the hunter fortunately survived the frost storm and was sitting in the frost shelter with others.

This was the last trick, and do or die situation, if her disguise failed and they suspected her then they would surround her and immediately kill her.

The hunter were drinking some blood to revitalize themselves, they were getting feebler with the harsh sufferings of the weather.

But compared to Jen, they were still giant humans.

Jen looked at her target, he was talking with other fellow, she could feel the diction was still with him.

“There are few things which our leader did not tell us but I always wanted to know,” Jen spoke to the fellow hunter.

“Every hunter is happened to be powerful especially Omega then why he fear the guardian beast? He could easily kill a guardian beats, right?” she spoke as if noob.

“The Omega said that the guardian beasts are given a seal, in case they face more powerful enemy they could call the Defender, and the Omega is not allowed to disclose the hidden identity of the caravan,” the fellow hunter was well aware why omegas fear guardian beast.

“That means a seal which could call the Defender is dangerous thing actually?” Jen nodded.

“I wish not to see such thing,” she added worriedly.

She looked toward the target, he was still busy talking with the fellow hunter.

Jen was sitting silent, her insights were given this task to throw the diction from the fastened strip from his waist, it won’t be easy but his distraction helped a lot, he was busy looking at the freezing shoulder of the fellow hunter and something fell from his waist.

He did not notice but the others who were looking at the both hunters saw something falling off, they curiously looked at it.

He was one of the trusted hunter and he usually help others so many hunters were with good terms with him.

“What is that thing?” someone pointed.

Their attention was picked, the Omega who was discussing with the junior Omega to decide about the journey also paid attention.

From the golden glow, the Omega was immediately terrified, he stood up and shouted, “Who brought it here, who is the traitor among us?” his voice brought sense of danger among others and they also stood up.

Those who happened to see the seal falling pointed toward the hunter.

The hunter was also alarmed, “I never saw this thing before,” he denied.

There were those who believe his sincerity for the caravan, “I don’t believe he can be a traitor or spy of the enemy,” someone came in front to support the hunter.

“It does not change the fact that this seal was with him,” the Omega gritted his teeth, he remembered the words of the previous omega, he also said that there was some traitor in the caravan.

There were those who were not ready to admit it and there were those who wanted to kill him immediately.

“Should we get rid this seal first?” Jen spoke in shaking voice.

Everyone got more worried, there was uncertainty now, was the guardian beast above their head now, the presence of this seal was a threat, Jen could feel that they might die with the fear today,

Their strength already broke many fold, they were limited in numbers too, the sufferings and the situation has shaken their arrogance too.

“I would ascend to the mountain top and throw this seal as far as possible,” Jen suggested.

They were terrified and just nodded, “I will also come,” the Omega followed her.

Jen let him come, they ascended at the mountain top and the seal was thrown, as the custodians saw Jen and the present Omega they observed and understood what was going on, they hurried went in the direction where the seal was thrown.

After getting rid from the seal, the hunters divided into two groups, one was siding with the hunter and one wanted to kill him right away.

They were fortunate to find out early else they would have died unknowingly.
