The two hunters braced themselves, expecting the leviathan to unleash its deafening roar once again in challenge of the two. But rather than doing so, the creature unleashed a rather pitiful growl at the pair of hunters. It turned its head around, glancing at the boat out at sea, which was currently booking it back to Boma, in what seemed like a longing gesture. Ellie gave it a confused look as it seemed to make a motion to turn and dive back after the ship.
But suddenly it reared back as though it was struck, and howled in

A catastrophic explosion shook the earth below, rattling Levin as he jolted awake. The young hunter glanced around in shock and fear as flames roared into the sky all around him, clawing at the sky and blotting out the stars and moon with a flood of smoke and soot. The great sword user coughed involuntarily as the smell of destruction and death filled his nostrils.
His eyes shot around, searching, trying to figure out where he was. Wasn't he just in Ellie's hut in Boma? Now he was elsewhere, in the burning ruins of a town. N

It was a hot day in Loc Lac, as far as Marco was concerned. Well, every day in Loc Lac was hot, but today was particularly nasty. It didn't help that he was forced to dress in formal dress in his line of work, buttoned up thick robes that required multiple layers and highly complicated designs. As the middle-aged man gazed listlessly out the window of the city council's assembly room, he could see the heat radiating off the endless buildings, tents, and streets below, creating a wavy distortion in the air that twisted and ma

The bomb detonated as the others had, ripping the water apart with deafening sound and a furious blast of pressure against Ellie's skin and bones. But the Gobul, situated just underneath the primary blast zone, felt the worst of the blast and was rocketed out of the silt, flopping over upside down in the water, reeling in pain and confusion at being caught and uncovered. The disorientation from the detonation churned it around, and the potent poison in its veins made it belch up another half-digested slab of Epioth meat.

A gleam of early morning light woke Ellie the next day, shining through the thinnest of cracks in the wide blinds that covered the ornate windows of the house. She sat up sleepily, the moment of drowsy fogginess in her mind making her wonder where she was and how she got there. Her memories came back quickly, informing her that she was, in fact, currently in Cobi Village, there to hunt the Gobul.
The sound of restless breathing caught her attention, and she followed the noise, spotting Levin sleeping sprawled across a nearby c

"Wake up, kid. You're in the way."
Levin jolted awake as a gloved hand grabbed him by the shoulder and shook his awake. He blinked in confusion for a moment as he collected his bearings. He was in one of the seats at the Guild booth, apparently having fallen asleep there in the warm sunlight of midday in Boma. He saw Mel rolling her eyes at him and Marshall sitting next to him with a smirk on his face.
"You hear me or what, kid? Move it."
Levin turned in irritation to the voice, finding himself face-to-face with a lanky man in t

"Pull harder!" Ellie heard Levin call out from the other side of the Epioth corpse in front of her. Her hands nearly slipped off the rubbery hide of the creatures neck as she tugged, dragging the heavy body up out of the water and onto the beach. With a final push of energy, she dragged the carcass the last few feet out of the water and onto dry land.
"Okay, we're good," Levin said, dropping the Epioth's tail and sloshing out of the water, before dropping to the sand to rest. "Good lord, it's been too long since I've done

The sun was setting over the forest, leaving long shadows spread out across the ground from the tall trees that grew around the village of Boma. Ellie looked up at the canopy, searching the darkening sky that filtered through the trees for any sign of the prey she and Levin were hunting. The darkening sky made it hard for her to discern the difference between the sky and anything overhead, however. Only the leaves swaying to and fro allowed the hunters any sign of motion in the skies.
"See anything, Ellie?" Levin asked qu

"Okay, this isn't even fair," Levin muttered as his second knight was successfully captured by Mel's remaining rook. "I taught you this game yesterday and you're wiping the floor with me. You're cheating somehow, but for the life of me I can't tell how."
"Maybe you just suck," Mel grinned, tossing his knight into her ever-growing pile of captured pieces. "Ever considered that by chance?"
"Once or twice," Levin admitted. "But still, this is insane. I can't even get into check. How in nine hells were you born with

With a twitch of its leg and a burst of speed, the deep green dragon called the Rathian lurched forward, charging the two hunters, intent on crushing them beneath its bulk.
Levin began to lean to the side in order to dive away, but he spotted Ellie out of the corner of his eye, motionless. He twisted around, straining every muscle he had, and lunged at her, tackling her to the ground as the Rathian thundered past, leaving a line of large three-toed footprints where the two of them once stood.
Levin grabbed Ellie
