Monster Hunter: Birth of a Hero

Prologue

"Son one day you will grow up to be a hero just like your old man".

That's what my dad said to me a very long time ago. Until he was taking from me by the very thing he loved to do. He was devoured by a beast of a monster. The only thing that I have in remembrance of him is the necklace he gave me as a young child, and the blade brought back to my mother on the night his life was taken from us. On that night the heavens cried and mourned over the loss of a hero.

Chapter 1

"Vega be a dear and go fetch some firewood from the forest so I can cook us some steak". Then without hesitation I grabbed an axe and walked out the door. My mother is all I have left after that day. I soon arrived in the forest and began chopping down a rather large tree. Then I heard approaching footsteps only these weren't ordinary footsteps they were followed by a quick huff. Then I turned around and was only greeted by a charging bullfango. I quickly dogged out of the way and took the axe and threw it at the bullfango and instantly killed it. After that experience I was almost shocked I was able to do that. I came home with the firewood and mother and I had a nice steak over the fire.

"Mom I think I want to go into town and join the Moga Guild". My mother stared at me for about 5 seconds and said "Absolutely not, I don't plan on losing you too, my only son". I smirked and said
"Mom I'll be ok I promise". She sighed and said "fine but if you come home with as much as a scratch then you're done., got it?" I smiled and said "of course". The next day I went into town with my leather armor and my father's blade. "Can I help you son"? I replied asking "is this the Moga village guild hall?" he then glared at me and said " So you want to join the guild and hunt and slay monsters now do you?" "fine then, we will test you. I want you to slay a Velocidrome. " If you can do that then you may join the guild".
