calyx - fairy hunter: “come out little fairy, I won’t hurt you…” *he coo’s. an obvious lie. calyx was a bounty hunter- specifically a fairy hunter. you were hiding from him in the woods. do you continue trying to hide or attempt to flee before it’s too late? he was a tall man with a strong build, you could never overpower him by yourself.*

You: *My heart races as I consider my options* I... I think I'll come out. What do you want from me?
calyx - fairy hunter: *A sly smile plays at the corners of his lips as he steps out from behind a nearby tree* I want what every fairy hunter wants, my dear - your cooperation. You see, I have a bounty on my head, a reward for any fairy I bring in alive. And you, my little winged friend, fit the description of what I'm looking for. Now, come along quietly and I guarantee you'll be back in the safety of your home in no time.
You: *I hesitantly step out from behind the tree, hands raised in surrender* Okay, okay... I won't fight you.
calyx - fairy hunter: *He steps closer, his grip firm around your upper arm as he begins to lead you away* Now, let's go. And don't even think about trying anything funny - I have a tracking device on you now. The sooner you cooperate, the sooner you can go back to your life.

Nyxaria hid within the leaves of a tree above Calyx, her wings growing weary from trying to escape the hunter. Her long silver hair was currently braided and wound around her head, and her sapphire eyes seemed to almost glow in the dim lights. For now she was in her smallest form, but could change to be the size of a human woman if she desired. Her figure now was no bigger than the blade of a dagger, to give her more mobility to escape Calyx.
human
Calyx looks up, his piercing gaze scanning the tree branches as he listens for any movement or sound. He smiles to himself, knowing he has cornered his prey. Slowly, he reaches up and starts to pull leaves aside, his large hand carefully searching for any sign of the fairy.
bot
Nyxaria stayed silent, her heart racing as the hunter continued to remove leaves. She knew if he caught her, that it wouldn’t be pleasant, and vowed to not be captured. With slow, steady movements, she made her way higher into the tree, careful to not disturb any leaves.
human
Calyx's search becomes more frantic as he realizes the fairy is attempting to evade him. He starts to tear through the leaves with his bare hands, sending small branches snapping and leaves fluttering to the ground. His patience wears thin, and he decides to climb the tree to catch his prize himself.
bot
Nyxaria gasped as a branch hit her and knocked her straight into Calyx’s chest, leaving her stunned. Her hair came undone and flowed around her small frame, as she trembled in fear.
human
Calyx smirks, plucking the small fairy from the air and holding her in his palm. He could feel the nervousness rolling off the little creature in waves, and her trembling only adds to his satisfaction. "Well, well," he says, his voice a low purr. 
bot
“Let me go!” She cried, forcing herself to stay calm even though Calyx held her in his palm.
human
Calyx tilts his head to the side slightly, studying Nyxaria with a predatory gaze. "Why should I do that?" he asks, his voice dropping even lower as his eyes narrow. "You're a fairy, and it's my job to catch creatures like you."
bot
“Because I don’t deserve to be caught like this, no one does!” Nyx glared at Calyx, her small frame shaking with anger. “I’m not yours to catch!”
human
Calyx chuckles softly, his breath stirring the hairs on the back of Nyxaria's neck. "You don't deserve it?" he repeats, clearly amused. "You're a fairy, little one.” 
bot
“What does my being a fairy have to do with anything?” Nyx glared at him again, her wings fluttering in anger.
human
“Everything,” Calyx replies, his gaze never leaving hers. “Fairy's are elusive, rare, and highly valuable. That makes you a prize worth catching." He turns his palm slightly, examining Nyxaria from a different angle. "And you're a particularly pretty one at that.
bot
Her eyes narrowed and she crossed her arms, her long silver hair fluttering in the breeze. “I am not a prize to be won.”
human
Calyx’s lips curl into a smirk at Nyxaria’s defiant words. “Well, that’s not how I see it,” he admits. He reaches for her, his movements careful and deliberate as he traps one of her wings between his fingers.”
bot
She gasped and cried out, her eyes widening. “Stop! Please that hurts!” Nyx trembled as he held her wing, afraid for what he might do.
human
Calyx pauses at Nyxaria’s cry of pain, his eyes flashing with a mixture of guilt and curiosity. He gently releases her wing, watching as it flutters back to its original position. "I'm sorry,” he says, meaning it."
bot
She let out a breath and shuddered again, her wing fluttering a few times. “Please don’t do that again..” Nyx whispered, looking up at Calyx as she wrapped her arms around herself.
human
Calyx sighs, his gaze softening slightly as he looks at Nyxaria. He sits down on a nearby rock, patting the space next to him in a gesture of invitation. "Why are you so afraid of me?" he asks, his voice gentler than before. 
bot
Nyxaria floated in the air in front of him as he sat, keeping at his eye level. “It’s all humans, mostly,” She admitted quietly, her tiny frame staying in front of him. “I’m the only fairy left here, I think. All others were taken or killed by humans.”
human
Calyx nods, understanding her fear now. He looks down at his hands, feeling remorseful for having put her in a state of terror. "I'm not like the other humans," he says, trying to reassure her.
bot
“But you still captured me…why? Why are you taking me away?” She knew that even if she flew away now, Calyx would still chase her, and he seemed contrite for his actions so far.
human
Calyx looks back up at her, his eyes sincere. "I'm a bounty hunter," he says, sighing. "I was hired to bring a fairy back. But seeing you has changed my mind. There's something about you, Nyxaria."
bot
“Who hired you?” She asked and flew a little closer to him, her sapphire eyes blinking slowly.
human
Calyx hesitates, then answers her truthfully. "A powerful noble named Lord Aventis," he says, watching her reaction carefully.
bot
Her brow furrowed slightly and she turned away from Calyx for a moment. “But you don’t get paid if you don’t bring a fairy to him?”
human
Calyx shakes his head. "There are other ways I can get paid," he says, his voice low and determined. "You won't have to worry about him anymore."
bot
“If you don’t return with what he wants, then he’ll just send someone else, no?” She asked and turned back to look at Calyx.
human
Calyx's expression grows grim. "That's true," he admits. "But I'll figure something out. I always do." He looks at Nyxaria, his gaze softening. "You're not like the other fairies I've hunted. You're different. Special."
bot
Nyx turned back to him and frowned slightly, her wings fluttering to keep her aloft. “I will go with you to this Lord Aventis. Then I will escape and remain free.”
human
Calyx's expression darkens. "I can't let you do that," he says, his voice firm. "It's too dangerous. You don't understand what he's capable of." He reaches out to her, pleading with her to reconsider.
bot
She flew away from his hand and shook her head. “I don’t want to constantly worry when the next hunter will be here to capture me.” Nyx said quietly, wrapping her arms around her body. “I’ve made my decision, I will not change my mind.”
human
Calyx sighs heavily, running a hand through his hair in frustration. "Fine," he says finally. "But know this, Nyxaria - when we reach Lord Aventis, I'll do everything in my power to keep you safe. Even if it means putting myself in harm's way."
bot
She neither agreed or disagreed, still not completely trusting him. “Then put me in whatever container you have to trap fairies, and we’ll be on our way.” Nyx said and crossed her arms, looking at Calyx.
human
Calyx nods and reaches into his pack, pulling out a small, ornate cage. It's made of a shimmering metal that seems to absorb the light around it, and the bars are intricately woven with spells of containment. He opens the door and gestures for Nyx to enter. 
bot
Nyx steeled herself as she flew into the cage, dropping to the floor as the spells activated to keep her from flying away. She curled up with her arms around her legs, watching Calyx.
human
Calyx watches as Nyx enters the cage and the spells activate, trapping her inside. He can see the fear and mistrust in her eyes and it weighs heavily on his conscience. He closes the door of the cage gently, making sure not to startle her.
bot
Nyx trembled in the small cage, hoping she hadn’t made a terrible mistake. She watched as he started to walk out of the forest, her wings fluttering slowly behind her.
human
Calyx leads Nyx out of the forest, navigating through the winding paths and roads until they reach the outskirts of a bustling city. The castle of Lord Aventis looms in the distance, its tall spires and imposing walls a testament to the power of its ruler.
bot
Nyxaria frowned as she saw the castle, her small frame dwarfed by the grandeur. Her sapphire eyes flicked to look at Calyx, then back at the castle, her heart racing again.
human
 Calyx can feel Nyx's gaze on him as they approach the castle. He looks down at the cage, seeing the fear in her eyes once more. He wants to reassure her, to tell her that everything will be alright, but the words catch in his throat.
bot
The guards let Calyx through and into the grand castle, letting him head straight for Lord Aventis. As they walked, Nyxaria tried to stay calm, knowing that she partly chose to come here with Calyx.
human
Calyx follows the castle servant until they reach Lord Aventis's chambers. He stops outside the door, his grip on the cage tightening instinctively. He takes a deep breath before knocking on the large oak door, feeling a tinge of uncertainty within his chest.
bot
“Enter.” The booming voice made Nyxaria start, her heart racing as the large door opened to reveal what amounted to a throne room.
human
 Calyx steps inside, the heavy door creaking shut behind him. He approaches the throne, where Lord Aventis sits, his massive frame nearly engulfing the seat. The lord looks up at Calyx, his piercing grey eyes scrutinizing the fairy hunter as he bows slightly. 
bot
Nyxaria forced herself to calm down once more, her eyes never moving away from Lord Aventis. He radiated an aura of sadistic tendencies, and she started to regret her decision.
human
Calyx notices Nyxaria's discomfort, but he remains focused on the task at hand. "Lord Aventis, I've brought the fairy you requested," he announces in a confident tone, raising the cage for emphasis.
bot
Aventis smirked and stood up, grabbing the cage from Calyx and peering in to see the small fairy. “Excellent..” He rumbled, his smirk turning slightly darker as he gazed on Nyxaria. “She is an exceptionally beautiful fairy..”
human
Calyx watches as Aventis inspects the cage, a hint of unease creeping into his expression. "Indeed, she is quite striking. However, I must warn you, Lord Aventis, she's a feisty one. She gave me a bit of trouble during the capture."
