Update:

I have a busy schedule and a hectic job. This Fic takes quite a bit of time to right and research. Expect a proper update no later than Sunday of this upcoming week. I am setting a deadline to ensure I will write it. Chapter 2 is about 40 percent complete as we speak. In the mean time here is a brief teaser. Enjoy

Chapter 2 Beta: Special in many ways

"Come oooooooon"

"No"

"Pleaaaaaaase"

"No"

"I promise I won't get in the way"

"Alright fine"

"REALLY?"

"No"

Alexander and JD were sitting at a table in the tavern. Strewn about the table in front of Alexander were countless empty pints. He sat eyes partially blood shot glaring at JD. In front of JD were the details for a quest. Alexander only had to read the first words to know there was no way in hell he would take JD on it "Hunt a Rathalos"

"Look, I've killed so many Great Jaggi's I can see them when they close my eyes" JD whined "I can handle this"

"Tell me then" Alexander asked slowly "Would the guild allow you to take this quest by yourself?" JDs face scrunched up in the resembling three year old pouty lip fashion. He knew he was beat. "Well?" Alexander asked again.

"Humph" JD crossed his arms and turned away from Alexander. Alexander sighed and rubbed his head.

"Will you be happy if I go with you on a quest then?"

"YOU MEAN IT"

"STOP!" Alexander shouted holding a hand up "A QUEST, NOT this suicidal stupidity you brought to me. I have a hard enough time with a Rathalos by myself. I can't afford to worry about you and fight the King of the Sky.

"But I have a good guard and a big shield" JD protested but caught himself. "I can't afford to worry about you" were Alexander's words. Did he have JD's best interest in mind? Did he care? He had to. JD's eyes began to sparkle and water as he stared affectionately at his mentor. The perfect example of a hunter with compassion and dignity.

"BLURRRP" Alexander belched loudly and passed out on the table.

"Well for the most part" JD thought to himself. JD wandered over to the quest board to see what was available. He looked at all the high rank difficult quests that had pictures of vicious looking monsters with fangs and claws. JD frowned a bit as his eyes scoured the page for a quest.

"OHHHHHHHH" JD shouted loudly with excitement. It was perfect; there was no way that Alexander could refuse. Alexander began blinking excessively, coming back to the sober world was difficult and his couldn't focus. He closed them and opened them again to see a giant green/yellow blob in his face.

"WHAT THE HELL" Alexander screamed flailing his arms in front of him.

"IT'S THE CHICKEN AGAIN!" JD exclaimed happily.

"Wha…. What?" Alexander asked groggily.

"I wanna fight the chicken" JD said again with the same enthusiasm. Alexander grabbed the paper and glared at it. It was a simple trip around the islands for a single Qurupeco. It was a one star quest open to any single person. He thought about it. JD had some experience with the Qurupeco. Alexander stood up slowly and turned to JD who was bouncing up and down with anticipation.

"Alright" Alexander said with a smile. "Let's go get that chicken"

"SQUEEEEEEEEEE" JD exclaimed with a jump.

"Oh Lord" Alexander shook his head.
