Beliya stood up a second after Gideon did, somewhat annoyed by his almost completely obvious appraisal of her. Giving him a quick glance, she didn't find much that peaked her interest, fairly average build, but he did seem to be able to hold his own. Looking over at the Grimm he'd killed before, she noted that he must have either hit them VERY forcefully with a blunt weapon...or he had fought them with his bare hands and brutally taken them down, save the last one. Figuring that it didn't matter too much, given his injury, she shook his hand firmly, and quickly, not wanting to risk someone aggravating his wound. After the handshake ended, she said: [b]"I suppose it does, GIdeon. And, it would appear so."[/b] while giving him another glancing look. He was...swaying slightly. That was a good indication that just maybe he was going to faint. Tilting her head slightly, she asked: [b]"Are you sure you're going to be fine? We need to stop your bleeding."[/b] --- Bruce continued to wander nearly aimlessly through the forest, managing to avoid having to fight Grimm for a good portion of it, though he had encountered an ursa along the way. Alone, and ferocious, he faced it with vigor and...well... [b]"You are adorable, you know that?"[/b] Bruce said as he held the Ursa in a headlock from which it couldn't even move its head, only flail helplessly with its body on the ground. Bruce had decided that the thing was cute, and that he wanted to domesticate it. Going along on his way, he came upon something...unfamiliar. Some sort of large lizard, walking on its hind legs. Tilting his head at it, he surmised that it wasn't friendly given that it was larger than him, and snarling at him. The thing tried to jump at him, though it missed badly and bit into the Ursa's head, crunching down on its skull, and killing it instantly. Within a moment, Ineko would see and hear the 6ft. raptor slam into a tree next to him, with Bruce stepping over a rock to get to Ineko, another of the Imanzá's necks lying limp in the teeth of Cerberus as he walked over to him. Coming out of his rage for the moment, he looked at Ineko before saying: [b]"It's you again."[/b] --- Two in the lake to the north, two in the cave to the east, two in the caverns below, two in the mountains above. And, there lied two in the tunnel belonging to Schnee, two in the nest of the sky-hunters, and, finally, two in the plains east of the maple-red forest, in a pasture. And so, the 12 cards shimmered as the pairs were formed, they were all being silently monitored by the guardians who would be slain by the Hunters-to-be. All that remained was for them to be found...and claimed.
