Now was the time for honesty before she got the little soul energy she had cultivated sucked out of her.

She chuckled nervously, "Ha-ha, Severus, my partner and friend, you see, there is something I have not told you."

"That man is returning, move." Severus said sternly. 

Abruptly, she got a hiccup as she moved forward, the further they entered the woods, the closer they came to the cave she saw the wild boar disappearing into. Now she had two reasons to be tense, one was the soul eater and two was the boar. 

"Severus, maybe we can come back tomorrow, we should face one danger at time." 

"Do you think danger will think, 'ooh, she is a low level reaper, I will spare her today?'" 

She looked at him as he twisted his face in mockery of her. 

"Uhm, no." she replied. She reminded herself that she had made a resolve to become stronger. If she could do it once, she would be able to do twice. Why did the soul eater have to be inside the boars cave though? To make it worse, the inside of the cave was dark and slightly moist. 

She armed herself with the soul binding rope and she left the soul gourd open, then she went into the cave with her heart in her pants. She felt as if she would shit herself at any moment.  Soul eaters were much more scary than zombies. 

"Oh fuck!" she said. 

She could hear more than one boar running in her direction, using her grim reaper vision, she saw three boars coming in her direction. 

"I will handle them." Severus told her. 

For one second, she was happy to hear this and just as another thought crossed her mind which made her want to ask him to wait, his loud earth shaking howl went through the cave. 

She could hear the echoes from every corner and she saw the boars fall on the ground and twist while squealing. But she was not looking for them, she was looking for the soul eater. 

It had to have heard Severus growl and prepared to flee. The howling of a hell hound was terrifying to soul eaters. Scarlet thought that it was similar to a landlord knocking on your door when you did not have rent that month.  All you wanted to do was escape through the nearest window and come back after the landlord was gone.

Surely, the soul eater had to be going crazy right now.  There was no better moment to capture it than right now when it was in  panic mode.

Scarlet forgot all of her fear and she run into the cave, stepping over the boars which were still writhing on the ground. She went deeper into the cave and she saw black smoke rising toward a small hole at the top of the cave. She threw the rope up precisely and pulled the soul eater down. and used the power punch to push it into the soul gourd. 

Just like that, she was done. She jumped up and down while squealing, it had been so simple.  She was jovially waving her hands in the air when she saw him approaching her quickly.

  "Behind you." Severus barked.

She was wise enough to send out a power punch over her shoulders before turning around and when she did turn around, she aimed the soul gourd at the other soul eater that she had not seen and sucked it in. 

This time round, she was wise enough not to celebrate prematurely, she searched the rest of the cave with her reaper vision. Fully satisfied that there was no other soul eater hiding here, she allowed herself to relax. 

She was sure however that Severus would chew her out for this careless mistake and she could not blame him. His first words when he was training her to turn her energy into power punches was 'never let your guard down when hunting for souls.'

She faced him and prepared herself for the berating she was about to receive. He was staring at her with a lazy look in his red eyes. 

"I know, I know, I was careless, I will do better next time." she decided to beat him to it. 

He snorted and said, "You have done well, you were at least sensible enough to punch before turning around. You caught that soul eater off guard, weakened it and captured it easily. Next time, I will not warn you though. I will let you dance your way into danger."

She put on a silly look on her face and laughed. She had received a compliment from him at least and she was hauling back quite the harvest. Two level one soul reapers in addition to the ordinary souls.

She packed away the three boars and three female sows in storage pods. The sows were all pregnant, it was no wonder the bars had been eager to attack her. She searched the rest of the cave for anything useful before leaving and nothing was found. 

"Can we return home now?" she asked Severus. 

"Lunch." Severus answered. 

She had known that Esong would not go far with her here alone. He had probably remained in the trees somewhere and kept an eye on the area. She was not surprised to find him squatting over the sugar canes and observing them. 

"You are still here." she said.

He looked at her and replied flatly, "I have to make sure that you remain alive and well so that I can be happy." 

There was no humor in his voice and it sounded like a fact that he was just passing on. She scoffed and bent down to put coconuts in the pod. 

"Is this a type of food too?" he asked her. 

"Yes." she answered. 

"It looks like a stick, a long and big green stick." he noted. 

"Just help me put them away so that we can leave, I still have a lot to do at home." she told him. 

When they were leaving the forest, he stopped walking, looked up and suddenly frowned. 

"Stay in the house." he told her. 

She watched in shock as he grew silver wings on his back and flew up to the sky.
