The next day, the seas were as calm as it could ever be. The boat rocked very gently, similar to a baby's cot. From a considerably far view away from it, the boat, the sea and the bright sun above would have looked like an amateur painting of a simple, happy boating trip.

A glittering sea and the blue morning sky with a few puffs of clouds to be seen... how cliché.

It looks like it's nothing short of a dream...

It seemed almost to good to be real.

But, two people, who love the idle days of relaxation and peacefulness will awaken into a world that they'd wish was just a dream. Monsters... of every kind, carnivores, omnivores and the like. They live in that same reality. Either be it that they are in the seas... aquatic and serpent-like such as the Ludroth. The skies... not a day goes by without the threat of a Flying Wyvern such as the Rathalos. The land is no exception. In fact, the most dangerous monsters and creatures lurk in the caves, caverns and mountains. These monsters will even be blatantly out in the open such as the Great Jaggi.

Elsa and Anna... their voyage on the boat is now coming to an end. It is approaching their destination. It was a small islet from as far as they were, but of course, it was far, far away. That island has the village of Moga on its shores. Moga was said to be a peaceful and lightly populated area around the south-east of the island. That's where they're headed... their all-new roaming grounds.

In the cabin of the boat, a platinum blonde woman was stimulated to wake up. Her hair was all laid down across her side of the pillow as it had obviously broke from the braid she had it in before. Strands of it were strewn down her face, above the eyes, covering a small section of her forehead and some were down near her mouth, mixing with her auburn moustache.

Elsa's nose was being tickled, causing her to giggle a little bit while fluttering her eyes and opening them slowly. Once fully opened, she looked around lazily. She still had no command over all of her tired limbs as of yet. She was curled up into a loose human-ball position, her left hand under her cheek and her whole right arm over her sister's stomach. Anna, however, was still asleep... quietly snoring with that one little trail of drool on the right cheek. It was no surprise to Elsa, yet it always was a cute little reminder of what she'd be waking up to in the days to come. Elsa let out a breath she didn't know she was holding and smiled at the absolute mess of hair atop her sister's head.

Anna looked amazing... fantastic, even. While her mouth was open, the drool trail still had a continuous supply of fluid to make it down to the pillow. Anna had her left arm on her forehead, palm up and fingers limp. Her right hand was holding Elsa's right hand very loosely on her tummy. She had one leg over both of Elsa's under the covers and one going straight down over the bed covers. None of these things compared to her hair though. Resembling a spiked mace, her hair was outstanding. It looked like a lion's mane... no... it looked like she was in a sort of explosion and her hair just got stuck like that... just like in little comics they used to read when they were little.

Elsa sure wished she had a picture of this to show her... or torment her... but she wasn't evil. The only person she could ever trust fully was Anna. Maybe just a small picture, for the sake of memories. This was day one as huntresses, after all.

That was enough of doing nothing for the morning. Elsa had full control of her limbs again and she sat up on Anna's bed, escaped from her sister's leg-vice and slowly rose up to quietly walk to the door leading outside. A loud yawn stopped her as she reached for the knob.

"A 'good morning' would be nice."

All of a sudden, another little playful idea came into mind for Elsa. She was always fond of her sister's grouchy morning attitude, although she never shows it much. Turning around, she saw the lion's-maned monstrosity defy gravity and a pair of hands scrubbing two tired eyes. Elsa, with her not-nearly-as-bad bed hair, went to play with Anna.

First while Anna stretched, Elsa initiated baby talk.

"Omigash, lookit youuu! With the hair and your wittle nose! Aww, is she still tired? Awww!"

Anna was already showing slight signs of irritation but smiled as she knew that this is basically what she signed up for when the job came by. Elsa walked closer, still spouting that baby gibberish and made hand motions along with it. As Anna tried to flatten and tame the explosive hairstyle her pillow gave her, she gave a tired half-assed response to her sister who was already by the edge of the sleeping bag... bed thing.

"Okay, okay... I'm up."

Unsurprisingly, Elsa did not believe her. Using her powers, she had made her fingertips frigid cold. Anna was too busy scrubbing her eyes to forsee her terrible fate. Once she was able to see the curl of Elsa's smile... it was already too late. The torturous second phase of Elsa's wake-up routine had started... the Ice-tickle.

"Anna..."
"Yeah, what is i-"

Assault start. Elsa dug her fingers into the sides of her victim and wiggled at her ribs at with a rhythm. A tantalising rhythm. Anna struggled under the power of the elder girl but the attacks gradually sapped her strength.

"Noooo! Els-ahahaha! Stop! Pleeeeeeease! Hahahahahahahaha!"

Elsa stopped her assault on the the ribs and quickly clasped the victim's cheeks with cold hands, causing the Anna to gasp and clench her teeth. Elsa was right in front of her, scrunching up the bridge of her nose. Then quickly turning her face from an evil mastermind smirk, to a warm smile.

"Thanks... for last night."
"Haha, no problem, Elsa."

Anna would have been smiling her face off too... if her face wasn't so damn cold.

Finally, they breach out of that tiny room into the outdoors. Fresh sea breeze, bright and sunny weather... and a can of lukewarm soup and bread. Their journey starts today. Now, after their short breakfast, they got dressed in their hunting attire. This hunting attire wasn't much at all... a detailed description would be that it was a secondary set of underwear... cloth sewn together to form shorts and a sleeveless cropped shirt. These 'clothes' only covered the sensitive parts of the girls' bodies... but they also had boots... that was nice.

"Hey Anna, aren't these a little... revealing?"
"Not just a little... but I guess it won't slow us down, at least."
"Yeah, because there's absolutely nothing to slow us down... When we land, we're buying proper armor."
"Can't you freeze yourself some armor? You don't mind being cold, so why not?"
"Ice is solid, yes, but I need to be able to move in my armor. Also, even against something like wood, ice will shatter. I can make flowing dresses, sure, but that demands concentration from me so that the clothes don't melt in this heat. I could make armor that has joints... but my head would be spinning as I'd have to pay attention to every part.
"Oh... right... but we get to go shopping first after we land? Yay!"

Anna looked off the bow of the boat, locating their destination right away. It was quite a ways into the distance, but they'd definitely make it there before noon. Even so, it looked small... was this all the roaming grounds that they want? While Anna was imagining her new life on an island, Elsa was sharpening both of their two blades, one for the hacking and slashing, and one for the carving and harvesting. Their respective shields were already checked on and were sturdy enough... it hasn't ever been used anyway. They've never needed to defend, but they guessed this time is as good as any to own a shield. They need to keep their hands full in new territory.

"You've been asking questions this whole morning, Anna. Is there something else on your mind?"
"Well... yeah, actually. I forgot the whole purpose of this whole trip to an island. But I'm sure it's not to lay sunbathing in the beaches they have over there."
"No, it's really not."
"Can you tell me again?"

Elsa got up from the blade sharpening and joined her sister at the bow. She crossed her arms and stood squarely on her two feet.

"We got a job. Or... I guess you could call it a work-station. We were assigned to this area to become its hunters, protectors and basically... help. The people who accepted us have said the areas around their village is now overpopulated with monsters. We are needed to keep that in check. Oh, when I say monsters... I may mean from insect, to herbivores to gargantuan carnivores."
"Oooohhhh..."
"While we're there, we'd be accepting jobs from and for other places as well. We're going to be given a small house... I hope it's big enough... even when I said small, I want some space for us, y'know?"
"So we ARE building a life there."
"Ah! Right, speaking of which, we're going to help these people expand in their way of life too. We're being made to become assistants for the village's resources."
"That sounds like so much work... Wow."

Elsa patted Anna on the head.

"That's why they hired two of us, dummy."

They looked over at the island that was barely getting closer as the watched. It was slowly but surely getting closer. A few minutes later, they could almost make out a very small village on the edges of the forest. It looked like it was attached to the land, like some sort of platform. It looked like a plain fishing village with about three or four docks.

Anna heard Elsa sigh and looked her way. She was biting her lip with a worried expression and crossed her arms over her stomach. After a bit of tapping on her arm with her own fingers, Elsa spoke.

"Can I... lay down a few rules...?"

Seeing such a face told her this was something serious. She nodded, because when Elsa is serious, everything is.


A/N:
Hey, I think it'd be a good time to introduce this little fic a bit more.
Okay, so here's the thing, I'm very picky. I might change the name of the story, the name of the titles... etc, and I'm sorry in advance for that.
Next, delays. School, homework... blah blah blah, reasons. But let me reassure you one little thing, I've already planned (at the very least,) 10 chapters for this thing so please just remember that this is still going to happen.

Finally, I just want all of you to know that, to really write about something, I really have to be into it and love it. So I made look-alike characters of Elsa and Anna in my own game of Monster Hunter Tri. God, I am such a nerd.

So yeah, I think that's about it. Tell me anything you want about this, it might give me more ideas. (winky face)

Thanks for coming by,
Sincerely, This Guy.
