Upon entering the emerald forest, Trace was a little on edge. It wasn't because he was scarred or anything. In fact it was exactly the opposite. The boy was excited. Finally it was time to show what he was capable of. His goal was pretty simple, to acquire a relic. Though where the relic was located was a mystery. He knew he wasn't the only one doing this, but for now he was on his own. That meant he had to stay alert to his surroundings for the time being. For a forest filled with grimm and other hunters something seemed....off. The place was far too quiet. He expected to hear some sort of action by now. "Maybe I am not far enough in?' He questioned softly to himself. Pulling both his pistols out of their holsters he then started to move deeper into forest. The boy kept to a lite jog not wanting to waste stamina.

After a little while he slowed down thinking he had traveled enough distance. Trace eventually came to a complete stop and dropped to a knee. A small annoyed sigh came out from under his breath. He had found nothing yet. No signs of grimm, action, hunters, nothing. He was was beginning to think this place was abandoned. The young hunter closed his eyes and rested his head on one of his guns. How could he exactly find the right way to go? As he was thinking that something brushed up against his arm. Turning his attention to it he noticed a large strand of silk caught on his arm. Taking note of the wind direction he looked to where the silk could of come from. A little ways off the trees ahead started to become covered in the white substance. In fact all the trees looked to connected in one giant web. A small smirk appeared on the boys face. At last he got something to follow. Shaking off the stand of silk he then got to his feet. Cautiously he proceeded into the grove of web covered trees.

((OOC: Decided it was time to have some sort of start. This may not be the best but lets go with it.))

As Trace proceeded through the webbed grove it began to get darker. It wasn't that it was getting late in the day. Actually the dense webbing was blocking out the sun from above. This made it a little harder to see but the boy kept to a slow place. The place itself was rather creepy from the looks of it. Not only was it getting dark, but the wind rushing through the trees made a howling sound that was enough to send shivers down one's spine. Swallowing his pride, he did admit this place was giving him the spooks. It didn't help that he was utterly alone at the moment. Even being the case he kept on walking. "You think that something would be here..." He whispered to himself.

As he did he heard a chittering sound come from behind him. Being quick on the draw he spun around firing a single shot that echoed throughout the woods. A small figure dropped from one of the low branches. Trace approached it keeping his guns aimed at the body. Closer inspection revealed that it was a rather large arachnid. Kneeling down he turned over the corpse using the barrel of his pistol. On the body was a very familiar set of markings. This was a species of grimm, one that he had never seen before. "Interesting..." He said inspecting the body further. From the looks of it, the body was just starting to form plates of armor on it. Unlucky for it Omni & Impo were able to shred through the plating like a hot knife through butter. He was enthralled with the spider quite a bit, that he wasn't aware of the faint chitterings coming his way.

Trace suddenly felt a sharp spark within him. He knew what it was instantly. "...Dust?.." Rang through his mind for only a split second. He was brought to his senses when someone yelled out to him. Reacting quickly he rolled off to the side before having his pistols pulled onto the new boy on the scene. A dead serious look was on the young hunters face as he starred down the boy both barrels aimed right at him. He stayed like this almost appearing frozen tell he was asked about his current condition. His body became a little less tense as he looked over to the several spider bodies that had recently dropped from the trees. That boy had just saved him...if would of kept examining the grimm he would of been their food for sure. Slowly he dropped his pistols off the newcomer before getting to his feet. "I am fine...thank you." He replied with a slight pause in his words. One of the spider bodies began to twitch a little and Trace took notice to this. Walking over to it he placed one shot through it finish it off. Turning back to the boy he smirked. "Glad to have some body else out here in these woods. I'm Trace by the way. Who are you?" He asked wanting to know the name of this rifleman before him.
