“Okay guys, Guys! I'm fine, very wet and jump scared but fine, so can we get out of the water quickly?” “right, Anre go and see Parker I´ll get us moving” Anre saluted and went to the room as Yun put the boat in motion, a little bit of a bumpy road but we were on our way to the port, Yun still concerns me but like I told him that is a worry for future Karolin “A…AA…Achuuuu!!!” right now I should be concerned with getting dry clothes and something warm before I catch a clod.
“I wonder why there has been a shortage of game lately” one fisherman pondered with his co-worker, “maybe a moonlight beast has nested nearby” his co-worker looked very shaken by the allegation “Hey don’t joke with that! Is hard enough to have to deal with the ones that have appeared near the road now we also have to worry about the ones here?” “he-he don’t you know?” his friend looked confused and tilted his head “Know what?” “I heard from my kid that moonlight beasts react strongly to negative emotions, they use it like a radar, so if we find any here it would be your fault for being scared like a kid!” His co-worker made a high-pitched scream, sending the other one to the floor of the boat “Ja-ja how about you go back to work before-”
“Yun go faster is getting closer!!!” “do you think I know what I'm doing young lady!” after the attack, a bigger Beast came chasing after this one. It is not an angles beast but rather “Yun we are about to be eaten by a King Jaw Crusher!!!” “Who the hell names this thing!” “Look out!” Yun made a sharp tuna dodging a fisher boat fortunately the Crusher was fixated on us but it almost hit the other boat as it passed near them, Yun grunted “Stupid thing! Why won't you go fas… oh no” I saw the wile separated from the place it was supposed to go the boat accelerated more but now we were going on a V- line towards the port of Hamelt “What do we do now!” I yelled at him “A…A… oh here!” Yun held a radio to talk to the people in the room below the deck “Hey guys… am… We kind of are going to crash with the port if we don’t do something quick!” Parker and Anre ran to see what the problem was and immediately laughed at Yun “Quit that! We need a plan!”
“oh man, I did not see this one coming! But don’t be alarmed I´ll take it from here!” Parker took out from his clothes two books “Where did you find those?” “the owner had them near their bed, I don’t judge but Poems of pain and torment sound too edgy for my taste, now hold onto something or someone!” “Marston held the railing with his good hand, I grabbed Yun by his waist and found out that Anre did the same “Hey!!! Hands off Anre!” “Stingy” Anre complained as he sank his hammer on the floor we all started to scream as we saw the port coming closer and closer “Ready?” the paper separated from the spine of the book and started to re-accommodate itself under our feet, “Set” more paper was adding to the main form, clasping with each other until it took a triangular shape with a crack in the middle where we found ourself “Let's FLY!!!” a tail formed behind Parker, he pull it up and in a moment we were launched into the air leaving the boat behind we were now in the middle of a paper plane flying towards the port.
Parker took the front row and turned around “This is your captain Parker De La Cour, and if you look behind us… You can see the goddarn Beast is still after us!!!” he was right the Crusher was coming out of the water trying to reach us “just get us to the port! It won't follow us to dry land” Anre ordered Parker and with a hand gesture the plane went faster but it started to lose papers in the process and Parker looked increasingly tired I togged on his sleeve “What's wrong?” “to… too… much power and concentration… I don’t… I don’t know how mu… much I can hold on… god you all are heavy!!!” Yun patted his stomach “Did… did I gain weight? Is this how you tell me I need to lose some weight?” “not the point right…” Anre pinched his friend´s stomach “You know you used to have more muscle I feel more body fat now” “I shouldn’t have snicked so many extra bites at the maw!!!” “Guys seriously? Right now?” Yun coughed and nodded Anre just laughed as we crash-landed on the sand, “We did it we are-” To our dismay, the beast launched into the sand still after us “Doomed!!!” Parker twisted his arms and made what remained of the plane to crash onto the beast´s face, covering his eyes with mushy paper then Parker collapsed from the loss of power, “You are going down oversize golden fish!” Anre hit the ground with his hammer charge he fly straight at the monster maw breaking several teeth with a relentless barrage of hits, Yun concentrated on the incoming boat and with a grunt of pain and struggle managed to make it change direction crashing on the side of the beast, with a cry filled with pain the monstrosity went down the guys were all tiered and battered but alive “we… we made it to Hamelt in mostly one piece” a group of people gathered quickly to look at the now dead beast in the beach.
“oh shoot there goes laying low” Anre raised his hands as if he was going to be arrested Yun put them down “Do not make it too obvious” he whispered “We still have a chance just let me talk” An older man approached us next to him was another person with a paper holder taking notes “what appears to be the situation gentleman?” “good day, Sir. We were going on a hunting expedition that went out of hand, we managed to eliminate some of the moonlight beasts that nested in this area but due to a miscalculation our ride, as well as our belongings, was lost” Yun talked with such confidence that sent chills down my back, his back was straight, eyes locked with the man´s after a moment considering the answer the man spook again “I see, I do believe we have been asking the order of hunters for support regarding the latest beasts incidents, but I was not informed of your arrival, what did you say your names were?”
“My name is Yun, these are my co-workers Anre, and Parker,” He gestured for the others “What about the girl and the man with the uniform?” Yun nodded “We found the man near the area of the Maw stranded in the water we treated his wounds with what we had on time but he does need proper medical attention soon, as for the girl” I chimed in “Hi nice to meet you my name is Karolin I´m their prodigy on my way to be a great Huntress” Yun smile “pardon my niece she is very eager to learn and quick to speak out of turn” “you brought this young lady alongside you to a hunt?” “of course not, the little rascal managed to sneak her way to our boat feisty but it was very dumb and dangerous”
I smiled smugly “But Uncle didn’t you say good hunters are best when not expected?” his eye twitched “I believe I also said you were grounded for a year if we survived” The man waved his hand to try and defuse the situation “calm down, Mr. Yun you know how kids are all they say is hunters this huntresses that why don’t you come with me to my office so I can give you the payment for killing the King Jaw Crusher?” “what about the guard?” Yun asked “We can leave him at the clinic for a general check-up first if you´d like” Marston nodded and so we started to walk to this man´s office, “why did you say that Yun?” I asked him when we left Marston at the clinic “It’s a better explanation than the truth besaids we can't pass the offer on resources we are going to be needing” “But now wouldn’t we be expected to act like Hunters?” Parker asked “Silly Parker we technically already do Hunters things… minus the part of eating the beasts”
I look straight at him “The what part now?” Yun slapped his face and Parker explained their past situation “So, in short, the only thing we have been eating for as long as we were at the maw was what was left of the beasts, we were given water but our sustenance came from their meat, it wasn’t a personal chose although one of us” and he pointed at Anre´s gut “apparently enjoyed it” Anre slapped his finger out of his way “oh come on don’t be such a prune, at home we enjoy a little thing called Saberfang stew is quite good not that Mr. goodie two books and little mister brawler know anything about that” Yun bumped Anre in the head “all I know is that Moonlight beast flesh is a no go with developing kids so none of that for Karolin” Anre said under his breath “killjoy”
