Monster of the Moon

Vanya the First Monster

A few months have passed since the meeting between Vanya and the Mystery Being. Vanya hasn't seen them since and has been living her life peacefully. Far from the cave is the now town of the creatures of day. Stories and Rumors have spread about a mysterious creature of the forest has become prominent in the town due to people being adventurous and leaving for the forest, never to return.

One night a group of adventurers goes into the forest to hunt down the monster of the rumors and stories. This group of adventurers is relatively new and have little experience when fighting monsters but they have big dreams. They have an archer and 2 warriors in the group. The First warrior and leader of the group being female took the quest with Agreement from the second warrior who is male with the male archer of the group having some qualms about it. They are currently deep into the forest exploring and so far have not seen any monster or beast the matches the description on the quest flier.

The group stop suddenly and get ready to fight. The hear a rustling in the bushes and hissing noises. Out from the foliage appears a massive Lamia with beautiful white scales and white hair that looks like fresh snow. On top her head are Branchss with white flowers that look to be her horns. Her skin is pale but her eyes are a sharp red as she gazes at them. The adventurers slowly feel them self become stiff and look down to see themselves slowly become stone. On of the warriors pulls out a potion and drinks it to get rid of the petrification and administers the rest to his teammates. Now with the threat of being petrified gone for now they move to attack the monster. Vanya being attacked quickly flees and escapes due to this being her home terrain and her natural flexibility allowing her hid in the trees. After escaping Vanya rests in a tree with an arrow in her shoulder and blood coming out of the wound. She pulls the arrow out and heads back to her home after patching her shoulder up with herbs and bandages from her bag. The group of adventurers lost track of the monster with each of them putting the blood the found in a small Vial. They head back to town saddend they couldn't complete the quest but they found something else.

Vanya would be at the entrance to her home and walk in to see someone sitting on one of her chairs. Surprised Vanya asks.

"Who are you?"

"Hmm Oh your here! I grew tired of waiting."

The small child would hop down from the chair and walk over to Vanya and hold a hand out.

"Take my hand. I have a gift I need to give you as well as something for you to see."

"Huh? What do you want to show me."

"Take my hand and find out."

Vanya would hesitantly take the child's hand and they would be transported somewhere completely different. Vanya would look around and see they were standing on a cloud. She starts to panic a bit.

"Well then let's give you your gifts."

The small child would grab Vanya's hand. Vanya would feel a searing pain before the child removed their hand shortly after. On Vanya's left hand would be a symbol of a giant snake in an infinity sign. Vanya stares at it confused about what happened but she does feel stronger.

"Now then I guess it is time to send you home I should go and tell her I finished that favor. Bye bye."

Vanya look up from her hand after hearing that statement to see she is at home she looks around before going to sleep.

As the 3 adventurers make it back to town they tell the guild master of the monster they have found and how it ran and escaped from them. The guildmaster puts out a quest for Vanya in hope that Vanya gets put down and the village stays safe. Soon enough news quickly spread about a new monster that has appeared in the woods and new and upcoming adventures seek to defeat and rise up the ranks. After a few months the quest hasn't been completed.

"This seems like a fun quest."

A large man covered in armor takes the quest and shows it to his allies who consist of a young man in robes and a staff and a woman who wields a bow.

"Let's take it. We could use so action."

The female says excitedly for a new hunt. The young man sighs and takes the quest up to the counter and let's them know that they will take the quest. The 3 immediately leave and head out to the forest to complete the quest.
