Introduction
This book is based on the game "Monster Hunter" universe. You are not required to know or have played it, although, if you are interested you can read about it on the Monster Hunter Wiki. Just know the abbreviation MH = Monster Hunter. Even though this work is heavily based on MH, I was also inspired by various other works, and if you played MH, don't expect every aspect of the game to be reproduced.
This work contains depictions of violence, and other mature themes. Please be advised before reading.

Prologue
A figure stands on a battlefield. The sun has slightly passed its zenith and the sky is clear.
If not for all the bodies laying around, it would have been a beautiful day.
Everything is silent, except for the wind blowing.
No life remains except for the two still standing.
Next to him is a large creature. If you were to describe it in one word, it would be : dragon. The creature stands on two muscular, reptilian legs, has two huge wings, a lengthy tail with a spiky end. It's scales, white, yet covered with crimson blood. Both its wings' membranes were full of holes, with arrows stuck here and there in its body.
It remains silent, calmly looking down the horizon.
The person slowly strides among the corpses lying on the ground, stopping before one clad in red and black scale armor. In his chest, a massive spear is stuck.
The figure slowly crouches to the corpse's level, and removes its helmet, revealing a blond haired woman.
Her eyes vacant, she looks at the commander's face.
"Why did it have to end like this?"She said with a long sigh.
She puts down the helmet next to the corpse, rises, and turns her head to the dragon, which was already looking her way.
"I guess it is only the beginning.".
The dragon does not answer, nor does he make any sign or move. He looked in her eyes, and she looked in his.
The wind whips against skin, cloth, and scale. After some time spent staring at each other, they both went the same way, away from the no man's land.
