The Young Hunters

In a small valley, a hamlet is located. This small village is called the Green Valley, because of its greeneries that even houses were built using green stalks and leaves. It's also part of the Loderon country. The area is abundant when it comes to basic needs and resources. So many fruits to eat, and so many preys to hunt. The Climate is tropical. However, after the war for the throne, things changed even in their area. New species began inhabiting the land. The Beasts are deadlier than before, greater in both strength and speed. These Beasts becomes more aggressive and destructive. The Chief of the Green Valley is worried about his citizen. Especially because a monstrous beast called Loderian Boar was said to attack a nearby town. Without knowing if it is true or not, he came to the Hunter's University, since they are located in the country Loderon, to ask somebody to help them. However, nobody volunteered to help them. The Hunters of this university is after shining and expensive jewelries, and he has nothing but foods and basic resources. Thinking that the Hunter's Academy is selfish, he went back to his valley alone.

Then one day, the two young men, Kei and James, take a visit to the valley. They entered a small tavern, and in there, they meet a woman named Sarah. "Hello there, milady?" said James. Kei doesn't talk much, while James is his opposite.

"Hi! You two are fresh-looking. I haven't seen you in here before. What do you guys want?" the woman said.

"Well, we just need some drinks and extra foods. We're hunters. I'm James Panther, and this is Kei Farrell. He's my brother, though, not in blood."

"So you guys are hunters, huh? Well, our chief is finding hunters in the Loderon's Hunter University. Unfortunately, nobody volunteered to help us. They are after rewards." she said as she takes out the wine and the cooked-chickens.

"Seriously? Well, we are not like them. We're not after those jewelries. So what can we do to help?" said James.

"There is a beast called Loderian Boar. It's pretty dangerous. We've heard that it already attacked a nearby town. And we are worried that it might also attack us. We only have few civil guards here. Wooden bows and stone spears and axes."

"Ow, that's a big problem. Good thing that we've visited this place. We're here to help. Our four other friends are not here, but we can take it down just by the two of us." James said.

"That's great! Thanks. I think you'll need to talk to our chief. He's in his house by now. You'll just have to ask some guards to take you there." she uttered.

"By the way, may I ask what's your name?"

"Sarah Dona." she answered.

Kei began asking her a question. "May I know what is the Class of this Loderian Boar? I'm really bored."

"It's a Class D:2 monster. I just checked about it last night in the book that I've bought. For sure, you guys will have a hard time taking it down."

"Ah. Okay then. So this beast is Class D. It's a bit stronger than we've hunted so far. So I guess this would be an enjoyable hunt."

Sarah smiles. "That's nice to hear. Feel free to eat anything you want. Since you want to help us, I will not take your payments for these drinks and foods. Consider it as my thank you for you guys."

"Well, thanks. I appreciate that." James replied.

After that, they came out of the tavern and ask for the civil guard to take them to the Chief as they will hunt down the Loderian Boar. When they arrived at the Chief's place, they humbly introduced themselves to him.

"A Good Day for you, majesty." said James.

"Who are you?" asked the Chief.

"I'm James Panther and this is my brother, Kei Farrell. We're hunters."

"Really? I've been finding brave hunters that will take down the terrible beast that may attack our valley sooner."

"We're actually here to help. One of your citizen, Sarah, told us about the situation. We'll be glad to help." Kei said.

"Ow, that's great! But we can only give you some resources. We don't have jewelries here. I'm ashamed of myself."

Then James says "That's alright. We don't need jewelries or any other precious things. Few resources are so much fine for us."

"Really? Thanks. I owe you guys for your kindness and will to help. The Hunters from the Loderon's University of Hunters don't want to help since we only have few resources to give." the Chief replied.

James and Kei smile at him. "We just need to ask few questions. What do you know about the Loderian Boar?" Kei asked.

"I'm sorry but I know nothing. I haven't even see it yet. But I know where can we find it. It can be found around the forest of Palawan. It is near here." the Chief answered.

"Thanks. That's a great information. One last question. Does this town has defense structures or maybe watchtowers?"

"Sorry. Our watchtower is not finish yet. Our workers are focusing on the construction of fences."

"Well then. That's fine. We just have to hunt down the beast before it comes here." Kei then checked his newly-bought book and try to find some datas about the Loderian Boar. This book has over 9000 beasts enlisted in it. Kei and his friends also write their own journal about the beasts they've hunted down.

"Okay. We will come back with its head. We promise you that." James said.

"Thank you very much. I owe our lives to you. Be careful with that beast. They said that it is a Class D:2 monster. So have extra care while facing it." the Chief advised.

"Thank you, majesty. We will be going now." James said then they comes out from the house of the Chief. They began their journey in hunting their first Class D Monster. Of course, it will not going to be easy.
