p class="MsoNormal"This story shall begin a few years before the 5 eggs hatch, but we go along to a different egg this style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanWe will get to that later. We look at our two new characters called Jason and Skye; these two also start out their story in Astera. These two also wanted to be hunters ever since they were young. Jason's weapon of choice is a charge blade but Skye's weapon of choice was the insect glaive. When they had been given permission to be hunters, they would be going to a different location. The coral highlands. This very peculiar landscape of flora should only be underwater but, is on land. The researchers believe that the cause of this, is all the bio energy from certain dead elder dragon's that went to die in the rotten vale, which is this hideous landscape of decaying corpses, bone and a strange toxic gas called ethluviem which is made from all the rotting corpses. The Rotten Vale is directly below the Coral Highlands, where all the bio energy rises to create the flora beauty that is The Coral Highlands. But enough about that lets get back to Skye and Jason who have just arrived at the highlands, they are going to hunt a paolumu because it had been troubling local researchers. When they arrived at the campsite, They gathered a basic essential for the hunt, such as: flash pods, to help bring the paolumu down from flight, by temporarily blinding it. As Skye and Jason where walking through the highlands they felt like they were being watched from a distance but they just thought it was nothing (little did they know it wasn't nothing) but in the distance there were these piercing light blue eyes, and then they were gone in a flash of red. Now Skye and Jason knew they were getting closer to the paolumu, they went to find its nest. As edging closer and closer to the nest there was this really deadly stench and when they arrived at the nest there was just a carcasS, but the paolumu's carcass. Now they were both on edge, because they knew only one monster could defeat a paolumu. Neither were experienced enough to fight one yet./p
p class="MsoNormal"Suddenly a roar in the distance made them jump. The following sound of something running towards them at rapid speed, Jason was preparing for the inevitable fight by raising his blade and his shield, Skye getting into position to back him up when suddenly the odogaron appeared, but all Jason had seen was a red flash as the odogaron had run past him, grabbed Skye in its huge jaws and it had disappeared just as quickly as it had entered. Jason was in distress as someone dear to him had just been taken before his eyes./p
p class="MsoNormal"Skye woke up confused as to why she was still alive, even though in the presence of the odogaron in its nest. Sky started to freak out as she got her surroundings, noticing she was in The Rotten Vale and right behind the odogaron, Its head had suddenly turned, and it ran off quickly into the direction its head had turned to. Skye moved towards the odogaron's egg, ready to destroy its egg, but her instincts told her not to, so she left the egg style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanLittle did she know it would start hatching moments after. To Skye's surprise this baby was a pale as snow with eyes as red as blood, and then it clicked; this was an albino odogaron, which was possibley the rarest odogaron to be found. Suddenly to Sky's surprise the mother odogaron had come back gravely wounded, but Skye could tell that she had dealt with what had startled her earlier. With this rare find of Skye's, she picked up the odogaron and made a break for it. Luckily escaping without the mother odogaron noticing. She then met up with Jason, to his surprise Skye was holding a snow white odogaron, and he casually asked "why do you have an albino odogaron?"span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanspan style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanSkye replied, "It's a long story"span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanspan style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanJason and Skye befriended the odogaron and suggested they get a boat to get away from other hunters, to allow their odogaron to live a good life. Jason suggested Skye names the odogaron, she named it, Azriel./p
p class="MsoNormal"(1 year later) The fully grown odogaron was a force to be reckoned with; Skye was able to ride Azriel, which meant they would both be a brutal force to be reckoned with, but now Skye and Jason's concern was getting a boat so they had thought of the idea to try and take a large boat, and try to find a boat big enough for them to get away with but also it needed to be small enough that no one would notice it but when Jason gets to a suitable boat he sees 4 other people there and they all share a sudden glace and realize they were all trying to do the same thing./p
