This is my first fanfic, so reviews are much appreciated! OK, here goes something!
Monster Hunter: The Adventurer, Erik
Chapter 1
The day started like any other day, the sun would rise over the nest, putting a golden hue on everything but the ebony shadows. Larry, a raven with jet feathers and brown eyes that seemed to flame-out from his pupils, also started the day like another. Fly out of his nest on the biggest tree on the deserted island to search for insects, and since he was one of the few ravens on the deserted island, he ate the carpenter bugs that loved to come out on dawn. Out of his eye, he saw something to do rather than fly through the island taunting the jaggis.
There was a rathalos eating it's prey for the morning as well as Larry. He emitted an aura that seemed to say, don't even think about coming near me, but Larry had nothing to do, so he decided to pester the mighty rathalos. As the bored out of his mind raven flapped his wings and bringing him to the rathalos's back, the mighty creature was gorging on an unlucky aptonoth and didn't even slightly notice the bird.
Larry was looking at the rathalos's scales while pondering how to annoy the beast. The scales were about the size of a lid to a potion a hunter had littered while fighting a nargacuga he saw about a week ago. While the lid seemed to be plain tin, the scales were full of texture. Every scale wasn't the same, and each one seemed to have a slightly different hue of red, though it could be the sun shining more or less on the rathalos's body.
After admiring the scales, the king of the skies took off. So, the daring raven Larry struggled to the rathalos's ear in mid-flight. As the rathalos was landing, he shrieked as loudly as he could in his ear.
The rathalos cried in fear and seemed how to forget to fly, and Larry was just as scared. The only thing he didn't have was an escape plan. He decides to just take-off, but he crash-landed near a his body hurts, he got to see a giant rathalos tumbling down the cliff, which made it worth it.
The rathalos tumbled down and down and down until he reached the bottom. His body lay there, limp and lifeless. Just as Larry decided to investigate, a rathian swooped down to her mate's lifeless body. She whimpers to the rathalos, marks an area around him and leaves, while shedding a wyvern tear.
Larry finally deems the area safe and investigates the area. He flutters over to the lifeless body and stands on its head thinking, I did this, I, Larry the Raven has killed an adult rathalos! I am the god raven now! However, he spy's a bipedal shape in the distance closing in on the scene and he knows it is a hunter. Larry decides to proudly stand on his foe's head, just as the hunter is roughly 10 meters away.
"What happened?" wondered the hunter, thinking aloud.
As the hunter notices Larry, the raven let's out a shriek of fury.
"A raven? It's acting like it has killed it, but how is it possible?" Ponders the Hunter once more, noticing the proud aura around the bird. "Well, I guess he killed it."
As the hunter carves up the blood free body of broken bones, he notices that the wings had recent activity. As the raven shrieks once more, he notices how it could happen as he screamed and then fell.
The Hunter with his new Hunter's Bow III had a bad landing on his back, but he thought it was worth the rathalos carves. As he gets up, he asks the raven it's name, but Larry just shrieks at him.
"I guess I'll call you Barely"
Larry, who somewhat knew English was appalled to this. He let out another shriek, but the hunter continued with the name.
"OK, Barely it is!" The hunter snickers to himself.
Larry leaves the area, he had his fun, now it was time to boast to that lady raven, Linda.
As the hunter leaves the area as well, he notices his teacher, Bianka.
"What the hell?" she exclaims at the sight of the dead rathalos and Erik, the hunter that just got his hunter's license not more than a month ago. "How the hell did you kill that?!"
"As much as I would like to say I killed it," Erik modestly says, "I think a raven did the job."
"How can you say that without a doubt in your mind?" Questions Bianka.
"There was a raven that I named barely was standing proudly on the head and shrieking at me!" He explains. "The wings looked like they were used recently when I found him, and my theory is that it shrieked at it without the thing noticing that Barely was near him!"
Bianka just face palms and carves up the monster as well, but she notices that the spinal cord was broken, as well as most of the bones.
From the sky, Larry sees the conversation, thinking bad thoughts about the male hunter, calling him Barely. He notices the male hunter has Jaggi armor, the funny looking hat and the arm guard on the right arm, also a shoulder guard on the same arm. He had a plain looking bow on his back, with a plain looking quiver as well.
The female, on the other hand, had High-rank Ivory Lagiacrus armor, with the white base coloration and a pink trim for the color. Unlike the male's armor, her armor had a strong, demanding aura around her, so Larry was wondering why someone with an important presence could put up with someone that looked like an average joe. But Larry had Linda to impress, and Larry had a Rathalos ruby to prove it!
