Stone Jaguar/Snowy Forest
Running through the snow-covered forest of Northern Germany, while doing my best to escape from the hunters. Who were somewhere behind me. Along with their hunting hounds that were running an barking. I was still moving while heading towards this large hill ahead. When the dogs managed to catch up with me. Forcing myself to fight them off. By kicking an tossing them into others. Until they gave up an ran away. Who then started climbing the hillside. As Snowfall within the distance used his powers. To blast the hill I’m climbing and covered it within slippery ice. Causing me to slide down. While also near impossible to climb up. I started thinking fast until getting an idea. Who turned my skin into stone an then tried to climb again. Knowing that if Snowfall gets too close. He’ll freeze me like he did with the witch. That was something I couldn’t allow to happen. With my idea working an moving fast. As Snowfall and his men were getting closer. Who hurried uphill an thankfully reached the top. Figuring that I’ll be safe up here, for a short time. Until running into someone unexpected.

Stone Jaguar/Fast Tracker
After running through the woods for a while. I’ve managed to find myself a nice peaceful river stream. Where I began drinking the water. While feeling that I’m safe for the time being. Yet also didn’t expect Time Taker to send somebody new. To come after me. When I heard something an saw a broken tree flying towards me. I quickly dodged an could see Rhodeus approaching. As he faced me an spoke. Give up Stone Jaguar. For you can’t escape from me. Feeling mad here I tried to cover my body in stone skin. Yet nothing seem to be happening. Who knew this was bad an in real trouble now. As he kept getting closer and me now drawing out my sword. Who saw him pull out his own. who then began clashing. As he quickly prove himself to be a skilled swordsman. Which was bad, as he knocked away my blade. Sending it flying an then landing on the ground a few feet away. With me now dodging his sword swings. But also his left fist and even a kick too. Before quickly running to grab my sword. Only to be shot within my upper right leg. Causing me to fall and also scream in pain. Who looked an saw Rhodeus approaching. Until the magic stone saved my life and send somewhere else.

Stone Jaguar/Vanish Site
After disappearing from the river. Rhodeus was looking around, trying to figure out what happened. When he quickly noticed the many armed hunters approaching. Who spoke. Who are you men? One of them standing at 5′8, had light blue color eyes and dress within pure white clothing. Approached him an spoke. These are my Winter Hunters and I am Snowfall. Who all serve Time Taker. While also hunting the wounded women as well. Understanding this Rhodeus asked. Why is she so dangerous? Snowfall told him. It’s because of the magic stone she wields. That let’s her travel to many distant lands. Just like how she escaped from us. Understanding this Rhodeus replied. Rest assure you. I’ll find her again. An make sure she doesn’t escape again. Snowfall reply back. Please do. For if you fail. We both know what Time Taker will do. With this said Rhodeus now began roaming the woods ahead. Knowing this was one hunt, he couldn’t afford to fail.

Saved by the magic stone. I laid there on the ground, with my right leg bleeding pretty badly. Who looked around an saw this one lonely man in his mid 30′s, standing at 5′7, short brown hair and light blue color eyes approaching. While carrying a rifle on his back. Who faced me and spoke. Your wounded. Facing them I spoke. I’m afraid so. An could really use some help. Understanding this he helped me to his cabin not far from here. Where he patched up my leg the best he could. While also asking me. What happen to you? I told him. Some very bad men are after me. Who also shot me as well. He was surprise by this news.But also by the color my skin. As he kept working on my wound. Stitching it up an then spoke. That’s the best I’m able to do. With what I’ve got here. Understanding this I thanked him. As I tried to stand up an him speaking.

Stone Jaguar/Spirit’s News
While the kind man was outside chopping some fire wood, I was still inside an worried. About those who were chasing me. When my attention turn towards the magic stone. Which gave me the idea of leaving Germany and returning home. Where my village would be able to take care of me. Who was about to use it’s power. When suddenly the spirit of Zuri appeared. With me quickly speaking. Zuri, I need your help. For my enemy is hunting me and must leave Germany. Before they find me in my wounded state. Zuri replied. I wish that were possible. But it sadly can’t be done. Growing concern here I asked. Why is that? Zuri explained. I can’t explain it. But something is stopping the magic stone”. From sending you away from this land. This was very troubling news. With me now speaking. So your saying. I’m stuck here. Zuri now spoke. I’m afraid so. I knew this was very bad. An unless I could solve this problem. Then this land might be my grave.

Stone Jaguar/Cabin Trap
Sitting there within the cabin by myself. With my right leg still in bad shape, I asked Zuri. Is there anyway. The magic stone can heal me? She reply. I’m afraid not. For whatever is messing with the stone’s magic. Might draw the attention of something evil. Understanding this Zuri spirit disappeared. Right before Finn came inside an spoke. Now while I’m no doctor. We’ll have to keep your wound clean an sealed shut. Otherwise you’ll bleed out. I understood as three days went by. With my leg doing well and doing some minor cooking.When my ears heard something outside. Causing me to look an quickly duck down. As the Winter Hunters began firing their rifles at the cabin. Punching many holes into the wooden wall. Before I quickly looked up an saw Rhodeus approaching. With me now looking out the other window an could clearly see. That the place was surrounded and had no way to easily escape. Without getting into a fight.

Stone Jaguar/Quick Escape
Surrounded by Snowfall’s armed hunters and Rhodeus too. I tried to figure out how to get myself out of here. As I heard the mask warrior shouting outside. Give up Stone Jaguar! You’ve got nowhere to run! Refusing to believe this. I quickly recalled Finn telling me about the emergency tunnel his grandpa had dug under the cabin. In case there was ever a fire. With me moving the small rug an opened the small door. Before climbing down the ladder an closed it behind me. Before slowly travelling west through the tunnel itself. As I eventually reached the end and climbed out. Before fleeing away from here. While also having no idea on where to go next.

Stone Jaguar/Leaping Claws
Tired of being chased by Snowfall, Rhodeus and the Winter Hunters. I’ve decided it was time to fight back. Before these terrible men wound me even more. As I changed into my animal form. Who then quietly lurked around until quickly striking the hunters. Pouncing an knocking one of them down. Before wounded three others as I then changed into human form, but also used my stone skin. Stopping the bullets from wounding me again. Who then started beating up the others. While noticing Rhodeus heading this way. Causing me to throw one of them at the approaching mask warrior.Knocking him backwards onto the ground. As I beat up three more before dodging Snowfalls freezing powers. As I now changed into animal form again an ran off. Then risk being trapped within ice itself. He saw this an shouted in anger. You can’t run forever! As I kept heading west. While also working out a plan within my mind as well.

Stone Jaguar/Wisdom
After travelling a great distance from my pursuing enemy. I stopped an began speaking to the magic stone. Zuri, if you can hear my voice. Please ask the spirits who Rhodeus is. An how I’m able to stop him. Who then looked back an knew. If I couldn’t somehow stop Snowfall an his hunters. I’ll never be safe in these woods. As I resume moving for a long time. Who also managed to catch myself some food an made myself a small fire. An patiently waited until the spirit of Zuri appeared. Who faced me and began speaking. Stone Jaguar. I’ve spoke to the spirits. Like you’ve asked. An what I’ve learned isn’t good. Concern I asked. Please tell me. Who exactly is Rhodeus? Zuri told me. He’s a powerful hero from the ancient past. Blessed by his ancient gods. Who’s unable to feel pain and wields great strength. But also being forced to serve Time Taker. Against his own free will. Surprised by this news I asked. Is there anyway to get him to join my side? Zuri spoke. You must find a way. To help him return home. Only then, shall he join your fight. Understanding this. I asked Zuri to do one more thing. Before getting some rest. Knowing tomorrow was going to be a very busy day.

Stone Jaguar/Trapper
After feeling like I’ve travelled far enough. I stopped and thought about this. For no matter how far I ran from them. Time Taker would just find another way to find me. Unless I’m able to take him down. So I began setting up some traps. Who was busy working on one. When out of nowhere Rhodeus appeared by himself. With me quickly drawing out my sword an ready to fight. With him quickly speaking. Lower your sword Stone Jaguar. For there’s no need for it. Curious I asked. An why is that? Rhodeus told me. Because I realized the grave mistake I’ve made. An nowhere to only help. In stopping Time Taker. Surprised by this news I spoke. How do I know your telling the truth? He told me. Because if I were lying. Then the hunters would have already ambushed you. Rhodeus made a good point. As I now lowered my sword an spoke. Welcome back to the light. He thanked me. While also telling him about my plan. To bring down Snowfall and Time Taker too.

Stone Jaguar/Ally Attack
Now working together with Rhodeus. We waited until the Winter Hunters appeared an launched a quick ambush. While also watching them step into a few of my traps. Causing many of them to be wounded. With all the others getting hit by our mighty fists and also some strong kicks too. Until they finally decided to retreat. While also noticing no signs of Snowfall. Who I could only assume was badly wounded an unable to fight. We were glad to have won. Yet it didn’t change the fact that Time Taker. Is sure to send double the man-power to take us both down. Now that we’re fighting together. Rather then against each other like before. For no matter what happens. We’re not going down without a good fight.
