Monster Hunter Stories: The Adventure Begins!

Forget the Foraging Grounds!

Navirou: "Alright Yn were here!" Navirou said.

Yn: "Navirou, check it out." I said pointing over to the forest next to the Foraging grounds.

Navirou: "The forest? Isn't it filled with dangerous man eating monsters!?" Navirou said fearfully. 

Yn: "Pff...that's probably some old story somebody made up to scare people away from treasure or something. All the more reason we should go!" I said excitedly. 

Navirou: "I-I'm not sure Pawtner..." Navirou said nervously. 

Yn: "C'mon it will be fun! Think about it, a chest full of donuts." I said trying to peak his interest.

Navirou: "C-chest full of donuts?...Hmmm...Let's go!" Navirou said instantly changing his mind.

Good thing Navirou was easy to persuade if  donuts were involved. 

We walked into the dense forest looking around, lifting up rocks, pushing aside leaves and digging in the dirt for any sort of treasure that could be hidden. 

Navirou: "Yn this seems like a lost cause at this point..." Navirou whined

Yn: "Cmon, I'm sure will find something if we go deeper into the forest." I said. 

Navirou: "Fine, but we better find a huge chest full of donuts.." he said following me.

As we were walking my mind started wandering to Pn, and how he was doing. I was so lost in thought I wasn't watching where I was going and tripped on a log, then landed on a...net!? 

Yn: "Ahhhh!" I yelled as the net swooped around me and hoisted me into the air. 

Navirou: "B-Buddy!!" he yelled from a aways behind where I had come.

Yn: "I'm over here! Help!" I yelled from my perch. 

I saw something out of the corner of my eye, something was moving in that bush. Something had put this net here, and that something was pointing a bamboo blow dart gun at me, great. And once again everything went black. 

I awoke inside some sort of...bag. I felt woozy and tired, I slowly remembered what had happened, I'd fallen into a trap, captured in a net...hoisted up by a tree branch...then shot with a sleeping dart it seemed. I could see light shining outside the bag, It must of only been an hour or so, because it was still around noon. I tried moving but, the bag was to tight, I could only shift my legs around a bit. I tried to kick and see if anything happened. 

"MEOWCH!" someone yelled.

"Quiet down! The prisoner must be awake." another said. 

"Sorry but she kicked me! It hurt...how much longer do we need to carry her for? She's heavy.." the first voice complained. 

"Quit complaining, we will be there soon, wait till the leader sees this." the second voice said. 

I got captured!? Who were these mysterious voices? Were they people? Other Riders? I tried to squirm more but the bag just seemed to get tighter, so I gave up. I just listened to the two voices converse more, I wondered how long we had been walking, it seemed like forever.  

"Alright, tell the guards we have a new prisoner, and also inform the leader. She will judge her." one of the voices said. 

"You got it boss!" the other voice said running off, leaving me being dragged across the dusty ground. 

Yn: "Can't you just let me out, what did I ever do?" I blurted. 

"Quiet you! Your about to be judged by our leader. She will decide your fate." the voice said.
