"this is a birthmark, I was born with it"

the elver cutely tilted her head to the side as she repeated after Terry

"birth.... mark?"

Terry gave a nod and pointed at his birthmark

"this is a birthmark"

"I see... wait keep your hands up!"

Terry quickly put his hands up again and stared at the elver while he waited for the next instruction, he knew she was unlikely to kill him as long as he followed her instructions as she could have easily killed him when she had snuck up behind him

"now walk that way"

the elver gestured to the way she wanted Terry to walk and Terry gave a nod and began walking for a bit before he stopped and slowly turned around to face the elver again that had a frown on her face

"what is it human?"

"my name is Terry... could you pick up my bow, it was a gift from someone"

the elver gave a deep frown but eventually she picked up the bow and carried it with her

"thank you"

"....now move!"

"okay, still this way?"

"yes now move!"

"okay"

Terry began walking with his hands raised above his head, after walking for about 15 minutes he arrived at a clearing where a bunch of elvers was gathered along with a group of hunters that was sat down in the middle of the clearing, Terry was ordered over and sat down next to the other hunters and waited, the other hunters were pale, clearly they expected to be killed by the elvers but Terry closely opsevred the elvers facial expressions and was pretty sure they weren't going to kill them...

A couple hours later the group of captured hunters had grown to about 50 people, at this point the elvers got them all on their feet before they began leading them further into the forest, while they walked the hunters whispered to each other as they began formulating an escape plan in secret, however no one shared the plan with Terry, he of course knew that it was his 'flaw' that was at work again and simply ignored it, anyways he knew the elvers were not going to kill them anyways so why risk his life by trying to escape? After walking for about 30 minutes the group arrived at an even larger clearing where a group of elvers stood ready to receive them

"(line them up and let the captain have a look at them!)"

one of the elvers yelled something which the other elvers reacted to and soon the group of about 50 hunters were lined up in a single file

"look over there a human walking with the elvers!"

Terry looked over and saw a person walking with two elvers, one on each side he had short black hair and blue eyes and wore casual clothes, he also carried two pale swords on his right side, each in their own sheath, but what took most of Terry's attention was that he seemed to be speaking elvish with the elvers that walked beside him. Soon he arrived and stood in front of the lined up hunters and spoke

"err... sorry about the inconvenience, as long as you follow the orders I, or the elvers give you will be set free and your weapons will be returned to you in due time"

the other hunters let out sighs of relief, but some of the hunters were dissatisfied and began yelling at the man

"who do you think you are, I'll have you know that---"

the hunter that yelled would most likely have continued yelling at the man but before anyone noticed the man was right in front of the hunter and grabbed the hunter by the neck before he lifted him up into the air and spoke out in a slightly chilly tone

"or you can not follow the orders you receive and end up being squashed like a bug, you choose yourself"

the man let go of the hunter that began coughing as soon as he was free and the man slowly walked back to his original position and began looking the hunters over from left to right, Terry tensed up when he walked in front of him but thankfully he didn't stop and kept walking

'thank the 13...'

just as Terry was feeling relieved the man stopped and walked backwards until he stood in front of Terry and suddenly showed a smile before he asked

"what's your name kid?"

'what do you mean kid? you are not much older than me... right?'

"my name is Terry"

"I see..."

the man looked over Terry and suddenly grabbed towards his neck, just as Terry closed his eyes in fright he felt his guild tag being lifted up and slowly opened his eyes and saw that the man was inspecting the guild tag before he asked

"are you a new hunter?"

"y-yes I started two weeks ago"

the man gave a nod before he showed a smile and said

"you're coming with me"

the man ignored Terry's confusion and looked back as he asked something in elvish

"(who caught this one?)"

the elver that had caught Terry raised her hand, the man gave a nod before he spoke again

"(good you are also coming with me, as for the rest of them let them loose)"

the man began walking a few steps before he turned around to face Terry that stood still

"as I said you're coming with me kid, so please follow after me"

"...okay"

Terry began following after the man that walked across the clearing and turned around and stood and waited for the other hunters to get out of the clearing before he gave Terry a clap on the shoulder with a gentle smile on his face

"don't worry I won't harm you little brother"
