"Patrick! I told you to stop doing this!" she exclaimed, her nerves on edge.
Patrick then reappeared, chuckling. "It's funny that you freak out every time I do it. Seriously, can't you get used to my prank?" he teased. Annoyed by her brother's antics, Patricia snapped, "Shut up! We must go. We don't have much time."
The two siblings clandestinely left the house using Patrick's magic.
"Patrick! Hurry up! We need to finish the job quickly," Patricia urged, her tone urgent.
" Alright, don't move..." Patrick replied, preparing to take action.
The brother cast a disguise spell on his sister, transforming her appearance drastically. Her long, blonde hair turned short and black, while her blue eyes shifted to dark brown. With the addition of pants and a hat covering most of her face, she became unrecognizable.
"I wish I could have this look forever," she remarked.
Patrick replied, "A lot of women wish they could get half of your beauty."
However, Patricia expressed her dislike for her original appearance, explaining, "But I hate my look so much. People always treat me like a frail person because of my blonde hair and blue eyes. You know how strong I am."
Patrick tried to reassure her, "Maybe that's a good thing. No one will ever guess that the real identity of the hunter is a blonde woman."
Patricia nodded, considering his point. "I guess you have a point. I will try my best to act as dumb as they expect me to."
Patrick and Patricia were born with supernatural powers. Although they initially lived like normal children, nothing seemed different about them. However, when they reached ten years old, they began to notice strange phenomena occurring within their bodies.
Patrick possessed the ability to manipulate energy and cast spells. He discovered his power when he inadvertently caused objects to move without touching them; he merely had to think about it, and it was done. With time, he honed his skills and learned to control his powers effectively.
On the other hand, Patricia was unique in her own right. While she didn't possess magical abilities like her brother, she was extraordinarily strong. Her strength, speed, and agility exceeded human capabilities, and she had the remarkable ability to heal rapidly. Despite her rapid healing, she deliberately kept bandages on her injuries for as long as possible to avoid drawing attention to her extraordinary abilities.
She first discovered her unique strength when a large wolf attacked her and her older sister, Paola, during a forest excursion. In a fierce battle, she managed to overpower the beast and save her sister's life. As she matured, Patricia honed her combat skills, mastering weapons like the bow and sword to better utilize her immense strength.
Despite their distinct powers, the twins remained fiercely loyal to each other, always ready to support and protect one another as well as their family members from the threats of the wilderness. Their unwavering bond and shared determination ensured that they faced any challenge as a united front, ready to confront the dangers that lurked in the wild.
But how those beasts were released in the human world in the first place?
As a consequence of the wrath of the enraged wizard, Zoltar, a portal to the world of beasts was inadvertently opened, unleashing a horde of dangerous creatures into the human realm. The beasts quickly spread across the land, instilling fear and panic among the populace. Desperate for salvation, the people implored their king to intervene and halt the invasion.
Furious at the chaos wrought by the wizard's actions, the king demanded answers and accountability. However, when the defiant wizard refused to comply with the king's commands, the monarch's anger boiled over. Without hesitation, he issued a decree for the capture and execution of all wizards, showing no mercy in his pursuit of retribution.
In the wake of the decree, individuals with magical abilities went into hiding, fearing for their lives as wizards and sorcerers became the kingdom's primary adversaries. Each person possessing magical powers lived in constant dread, knowing that discovery could lead to their immediate execution.
Patrick, born with wizardry in his blood, took every precaution to conceal his abilities, sharing his secret only with Patricia. Together, they resolved to keep his powers hidden, understanding the grave danger it posed to their family. The knowledge that any revelation could result in the ruthless extermination of him and his loved ones weighed heavily on his mind, compelling him to maintain the utmost secrecy at all costs.
Recognizing the urgent need to protect their family and the kingdom, the twins forged a formidable duo to hunt down the dangerous beasts unleashed upon the land. Initially driven by the desire to safeguard their loved ones, their efforts soon garnered attention, and rumors of their prowess spread throughout the kingdom. As requests for their aid poured in, accompanied by generous rewards, Patricia made the decision to officially become a hunter, using her formidable skills to support their large family.
Patrick assumed the role of her trusted assistant, employing his magic discreetly to aid her in their perilous missions. From altering their appearances to providing crucial support against formidable foes, Patrick utilized his powers to ensure their success while avoiding detection. Despite the constant risk of exposure, he remained vigilant, determined to fulfill their missions without jeopardizing their safety.
As the siblings discussed their upcoming mission, their bond grew even stronger.
"So, what is our mission tonight?" Patricia inquired.
Patrick responded, "A werewolf attacked a nearby village and killed a lot of people. We must catch it before it does more damage." Patricia's brows furrowed in concern.
"How much will they pay for it?" she asked.
Patrick sighed, "Only five gold coins."
Patricia expressed surprise, "Only five? Didn't they witness how dangerous it is?"
Patrick explained, "Well, they are not that rich. Most of the people are poor. I'm quite impressed that they managed to collect five gold coins. If you don't want to, we can drop the mission."
Patricia shook her head determinedly. "No, it's okay. I will do it. Let's hurry, the moon is full tonight. I'm sure that it will show up again",
The twin journeyed to the village, relying solely on the moonlight to navigate the dense forest. Upon arrival, Patrick vanished from sight, while Patricia concealed herself in a shadowy alley, poised to confront the beast.
Moments later, a blood-curdling scream pierced the night air. Without hesitation, Patricia dashed toward the source of the sound, knowing that their target had revealed itself.
"This is it!" she thought. Emerging from the darkness, Patricia found herself face to face with a towering, menacing monster, ready to unleash its fury upon the unsuspecting villagers.
The creature loomed before Patricia, resembling a wolf but vastly larger in size. Its bulging muscles and elongated limbs were shrouded in coarse fur, and as it locked eyes with Patricia, its razor-sharp claws and teeth bared in a menacing display.
For a fleeting moment, Patricia hesitated, taken aback by the sheer ferocity of the creature before her. Yet, her resolve quickly solidified, and she steadied her grip on her bow, leveling an arrow at the beast.
"I should ask for ten gold coins if I walk away alive from this," she declared, her voice laced with determination as she prepared to face the monstrous threat head-on...
