Monster Hunter: Zinogre

The morning dew clung gently to the blades of grass that cover this region. Hiding behind thick blanket of fog, giant mountains pierce the ever blue sky. Dr.a.p.ed upon these mighty giants backed, cloaks of waters flowed ever so fiercely. As the water slide of the rocky faces of these mountains, vapor shroud the land, nourishing the wildlife. The wind absentmindedly travel above the mighty ancients tree, and through forest of bamboo woods.

This regions is call the Misty Peaks, loftily encompass Yukumo Village, but not out of reached like the Sacred Pinnacle.

I was quite happy to be outside again, and the feeling was shared among my siblings. I have got to named each one of them or I might mistaken them, but that is a problem for another day. As we were treading slowly toward the cave mouth, excitement welled up within me. My mother gently nudge us forward, afraid that one of us might get left behind.

As we travel closer and closer toward the light, my siblings's enthusiasm for the outside world slowly wane, replacing it with nervousness and uncertainty. The tensions was unbearable, two of the little one started to cower behind our mother. Our mother was nonchalant about the entire situation, proving that we are not the only batch who felt like this. The outside world is indeed quite scary to cubs that'd only been born for two days.

Noticing my mother lacks of action, I stepped forward. I utter a pathetic howl toward my siblings, the howl was quite bad but it fulfilled it purpose. The cubs all raised their heads toward me, I can see the reverence in their eyes toward the Alpha, toward me. Basked in the intense stare of reverence, I walk forward pridefully into the blinding light.

It took quite a while for my eyes to adjust to the light, the scenery before my eyes was spectacular. I can see the wind brushed pass the blades of grass on the ground, lying lazily basking in the sunlight is twenty male Zinogre. Their muscular framed were akin to boulder, their piercing blue eyes intensely concentrated on me. The lied on the ground at different place, but clearly indicating their position in the pact. The Alpha of our clan stood up from his mound, he walked slowly toward me, his piercing blue eye never left my body.

My siblings have finally decide to come out and stood next to me. Their once nervous eyes blaze up in fears when they see the Alpha of the clan. They shivers nervously, my two little sisters even cover their heads with their paws, awaiting judgement.

My eyes blazed up in dangerous light, I have swore an oath to myself that I would protect my siblings, if this big oaf threaten my family, I will tear him apart. To the best of my ability, I started to growled threateningly at him. What came out was a low chihuahua cries, but it was enough to convey my message. I started to get lows on the ground, my muscle tense up ready to strike at a moment notice. My siblings took notice of my action, started to yelps out encouragement and cheers, visibly calmed down.

The Alpha look at me amusingly, so was the rest of the males. They holler out loudly, howl and roar at the sky. Their eyes flashed with bemused gaze as they stared at their leader, and roar out again. The Alpha decide to play my game as he also bent down, his muscle bulged outward and his claw out stretch, he snarled at me with a hint of amus.e.m.e.nt.

I know what I am doing is stupid, that to him, I am merely a toy. However, I've finally gotten a family, he must be stupid if he think he can robbed them from me without a fight.

I started to size up my opponent, looking for something I can use to inflict some damage on to him. He tower over me, unlike my mother his framed bulged outward. He was much bigger than a normal Zinogre. Even when he breath, you can still see his muscle heave up and down. His azure scaled have a glossy sheen on them, like plated of armors weaved together. His pairs of horns was mighty, with the left horn split down to the middle branching it outward. An old injury he probably sustained from an aggressive territorial battle. His golden scute lays on top of one another, protecting his already impenetrable body. His savage blue eye just like his mane crackle with lightning. Scar cover his body, one of them even took out his right eyes.

Just as I was planning my attack on this monster, a mighty roar could be heard from my back. My mother sautes between me and the big oaf. She growled at her Alpha, threatening him to take another step. Surprisingly, he accept her challenged and rushed forward. My mother respond in kind as she swipe her paw at his only good eye. Contrary to the blood and gore I expected, the slap was quite gentle. Hard enough to rang out, but no scratch or bruised.

Thinking my mother was about to get attack, I rushed in between them, and growled as hard as I could. The Alpha once again redefined my expectation, he and my mother gently touched their snouts together, the aggressive behavior from before was gone.

I look at them quizzically, they look just like an old married coup...OH SHIT.
