[ABANDONED] A Series of Oneshots

A Decision (Monster Hunter)

In one moment, Zeira was looking at the quest board for a good hunt. In the next moment, she slammed a paper on the table in front of Enrik. Her eyes sparkled in the same way as the end of a challenging hunt, something that had recently disappeared.

"This is perfect!" Zeira started to crush the paper in her armored hand. "A new land, new monsters!"

"Wait, wait, let me read it before you destroy it and run off again," Enrik tore the paper out of Zeira's iron grip. The paper ripped in half and Enrik groaned. He asked for the other half and connected the two pieces.

It was a poster featuring three hunters posing with a kill, a large lizard creature with a long, hair-like mane. The hunters' faces were hard to make out, as the tear was right over them, but they seemed serious. Large, blocky text hung above and below the hunters. At the top, it read, "WE NEED YOU." Below them, it said, "JOIN THE FIFTH FLEET, HUNT IN THE NEW WORLD."

Enrik stared at the remains of the poster for a long time, then he looked at Zeira. She had a wide grin plastered on her face. It was the kind of grin that said she was going whether he joined her or not. Enrik sighed.

"Why?" he said. "We built a reputation here as the trustworthy hunters of Bherna. Why do you want to leave that?"

Zeira shrugged, "We've hunted everything we can here. I can tell you what, say, a Seregios is going to do before it even does it now. I'm just kinda bored I guess. Besides, I think we peaked here when we killed the Akantor that destroyed our homes."

Really? "So you're going to risk it all in the New World just because you're bored here?" Enrik put his head in his hands and muttered. "Why am I not surprised?"

"So are you in?"

"No! I mean, I..."

And that's all I got. Something is better than nothing I guess
