The lonely hunter walked in the deserted desert, his leather and cactus boots were damaged just like his poncho

He saw a strange silhouette in the distance , it shined like a beacon but it looked like a person. As he got close he heard the sounds of metals clashing in the sand.

"I've come to find you, hunter" said the silhouette that revealed himself as a shining white knight, his silver armor contrasted with the yellow and brown colors of the desert.

"If you want to find your death, then come"

Said the hunter as he charged his revolver.

"You shall be the one who dies today" said the White Knight

Three shots flew through the wind, clashing in the Knight's armor knocking him back but he didn't let down the Hunter and rushed to slash him with his sword. As the sword was about to cut the Hunter in two, a clashing sound was heard as he stopped the sword with his, it was made from a dragon's bones. A barrage of quick slices from both of them made the sand fly everywhere. The attacks were quick and letal, but none touched the other, every slice was stopped and countered with another, it was almost like a dance

"This is fun right?" Said the Hunter as both of them took a break

"This isn't time to play around, i know who you are" said the Knight tired

"Then watch this" said the Hunter as he ran towards the Knight, he prepared his sword to block but as soon as he did his stance, the Hunter, in a flash, jumped and struck him in the air breaking a piece of his armor.

As the Knight dropped to the ground, almost defeated, his eyes turned red, and just by looking at the Hunter, he made an onslaught of cuts in the air that destroyed the Hunter's Poncho

"You aren't the only magic user out here" said the Hunter as his eyes turned into a deep blue color

As the Knight was standing up he looked that the Hunter has disappeared, but the sound of the wind behind made him turn that way, blocking the sword of the Hunter that appeared behind him but in a surprising turn of events, the Hunter took his revolver and shot the Knight , destroying his chestplate.

The Knight launched another barrage of air cuts that left marks in the ground ,but the Hunter just had teleported away.

"So, who sent you?" Said the Hunter

The Knight didn't answer and launched another attack of air cuts.

"Come on, you know you can't hit me" said the Hunter that just had teleported away

But the Knight didn't answer and did the same.

"I know you are a White Knight of the checkmate kingdom but you guys usually don't use magic and come in groups... So , what are you" said the Hunter who teleported once more

The Knight tried to do another barrage of air cuts but he was tired and his eyes turned back to his normal color.

The Hunter walked towards the Knight, preparing to shoot him with his revolver, but instead of that he just stood there, looking at him

"Kill me already, what are you waiting for? Said the Knight

"I'm waiting for an answer, mate" said the Hunter

"I was a White Knight before but now i'm just a bounty hunter that's looking for revenge against the King and I need to prove myself that I'm up for the task... but i failed, so kill me already"

"If you want to kill the king you need to be stronger than me"

"But i'm not, so i deserve death"

"You will be, your magic is stronger than mine, but you lack stamina and training. Here, drink this" said the Hunter as he gave the Knight a potion

The Knight drunk it and felt his energy coming back to him

"I'm also an enemy of the King, so if you are going to kill him, i'm going with you" said the Hunter

"Then, we should get going" said the Knight

Then both men walked through the desert seeking revenge and adventure as their new friendship was born
