EMP-210: Prey

Prey looked up to the hunters his whole life, because the whole Empire relies on them and their job is the riskiest of them all. He had decided since he was a child that he would join the hunters, and he could barely hold his excitement in when the day came for him to join those respectful, honorable grifix! Except he found a bunch of drunkards, led by a teenager who they tricked into getting drunk every night and she was too stupid to realize. His whole world was crushed when he saw what a bunch of idiots they were. He wanted to leave, but he ended up going in one of the hunting expeditions outside the empire. Seeing how serious and reliable Dust Blizzard was out there, and how serious they were all when facing the cruel nature out there, he got a glimpse of what he initially pictured them as. He still wasn’t decided to stay in the guild, but he thought he should stay a little longer and see how it went. He ended up never leaving, mostly because he felt that if he would, they would probably all go into an alcoholic coma and die at some point, and then everyone in the Empire would be doomed. He never drank, and he always took care to shoo them home when things were getting out of hand. He became Blizzard’s right paw, and the only lucid mind in the guild when they weren’t out in the wild. Blizzard got to rely on him a lot, as everyone was relying on her, he was the one she relied on. He would always walk her home when she got too drunk to walk alone.
