Prologue:

It was a quiet summer night in Mossflower Woods. It seemed as if the hot summer day had worn out every beast for miles around. However, there was a small group of vermin creeping in the dark. They moved almost completely unknown to the woodlanders, who were ever wary of the evil that they might commit. Unlike other vermin, these were not looking to cause trouble, nor were scouting for some horde. They were (well, one at least was) adventurers. The one, a pine marten by the name of Mir, was the leader of the group. He had dark brown fur, which was complemented by the creamy fur which covered the front of the body.

"Why do we have to come this far out?" complained his ferret companion.

"Yeah," the vixen who rounded out the trio piped, "Ya know dat we ain't welcome in dese parts."

The marten had had enough of the train of complaints that had been following him for three days. Mir spun around and smacked his companions upside the head. Then glaring, he turned back to his journey. Mir knew that they were legitimately concerned for their safety, but he had to find it.

"My dad's journal said that my stepmother came from a city in the far east. I want to find it... To find them..." Mir explained.

The vixen wasn't pleased by the answer she received. She glared with contempt for the marten, but said nothing. The ferret, being the curious one, opened his mouth and uttered a question. The marten barely heard it because the ferret spoke so softly.

"What?"

"I said," the ferret muttered, "Isn't that part of the forest filled with giant monsters?

"WHAT?!" screamed the vixen. Mir hadn't told them that they'd encounter MONSTERS on the journey, much less that they were GIANT. The vixen began to wish that she hadn't met Mir, and even more that she hadn't agreed to join him.

"Yeah, it is Grim, but my dad also wrote that my stepmother was a part of the military in the city."Mir replied. "They were trained to killed those said monsters. So if we run into any monsters, there's a good chance that we'll also come into contact with their military. We'll be safe."

"I highly doubt that Mir!" the vixen moaned. "The military might attack us, too!"

"Haze..."Grim began.

THUD.

A ground-shaking vibration caught the trio off guard. They all turned in different directions, trying to find the source of the sound. The sound was quickly approaching, and the vibrations were becoming more violent. Then, there was a shout.

"Commander, look out! The Aberrent is a Jumper!"

Suddenly, something burst out of the treeline. The only one able to identify it was Mir, because of his stepmother.

IT WAS A HUMAN.

The human was being towed by a cable, which was hooked into a nearby tree. The human spun, only to encounter another creature that had rushed out of the treeline: an Abnormal Titan. The human had no time to readjust himself and was devoured by the giant mid -air. Two more humans rushed in behind it.

Mir and Grim watched in horror as the two humans proceeded to their deaths. Haze had run away like any cowardly vermin, leaving them the only two to witness what came next. The first human, an grown female blinded the Titan, while the second, a younger male, attempted to kill it. However, the second was slapped away by the Titan, who struck out in a blind rage. The human was sent flying into Grim, who immediately had the air knocked out of him.

Mir quickly went to help his friend up. The human was just slightly smaller than Grim, but due to the gear, was much heavier. Mir heaved as he struggled to get the human off of the ferret. Grim was on his feet as soon as the human was off.

"Mir!" Grim shouted. "We need to take him and leave!"

The ferret pointed to the first human, who was now in the grasp of the Abnormal. Mir nodded and lifted the small human onto his shoulder. As he did this, Mir realized the human was breathing. The poor creature was still alive!

The mustelid duo rushed away from the Abnormal, who was enjoying a human. It was almost midnight when the two vermin stumbled into the abbey. If it hadn't been for the unconscious human, the vermin would not have been admitted. Mir stayed with the human while he was treated in the infirmary.

"This one is strong," noted one of the nurses as she left the infirmary. "He must be truly brave to fight a monster such as the one you described."

Mir nodded somberly and turned to the human lying in the bed. Then he noticed the most prominent feature the human had. The youngster had the face of his mother.
