CHAPTER ONE - PUCK IS BORN

Upstairs, the young boy who had changed into his night clothes, was busy writting in his journal: 'Today I found an egg out in the woods... All the rest had hatched, maybe this one is dead? Oh well, eiter way it will make a tastey breakfast!' he closed the journal. This young boy is Pablo, 8 Years Old, with black hair and blue eyes. He had lived on his own for some time now, with the elder and others helping him get through the tough times when his parents fell in battle agains't the feared Akantor. He'd busy himself with drawing at the moment, while downstairs life continued. The egg had cracked open and a small creature fell from it with a cry, and that got Pablo's attention... He crept downstairs silently and to the kitchen table holding a small sword made from Giadrome carvings, crafted and given to him by the Felynes that play part in helping him get on with life living alone... He froze when he saw the tiny form of a wyvern on his table, the runt, the smallest of the clutch... 'A... A Rathalos!?' the boy though in shock, slowly making his way over as the tiny Rathalos took notice, crying out to him... Poor thing, must have thought Pablo was his father... It was a rare one too, with Azure scales and the brightest of bright blue eyes.

Pablo watched the Rathalos as it chirped and squeeked at him, it made a sound the boy had never heard before ''UUUUUUUUCK! UUUUUUUUUUCK''. It was an odd sound, but it sure was cute! Pablo slowly reached a hand out to it to try and touch it's tiny head as it sniffed at his hand, giving it a lick and crying at him... He must be hungry the boy thought, so he got some raw meat from the fridge next to him and placed it on the table as the tiny monster got straight to work on ripping off tiny pieces at a time. ''UUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK'' it cried every nw and then, ''UUUUUUUUUUUCK''! Pablo thought... This would be amazing! Hatched from an egg with the only memory of 'parent' being Pablo, it knew not of it's real parents or it's siblings... This would be the beginning of an amazing life, Pablo thought. He smiles to himself ''Hey, you need a name little guy... Maybe... Oh I know, Puck! The sounds you make sound similar to it, just without the P!'' he said joyfully ''It's decided, you will be called Puck!'' and as if understanding, Puck had become very excited about this, chirping and squeeing joyfully. Pablo couldn't resist picking the kitten sized dragon up and cuddling it. The cuteness softened him and he loved the creature already! Puck however, was busy nibbling on the collar of the boyss pajama top, yawning and instantly falling asleep. Pablo however, was also tired, so once noticing his new friend was sleeping, he quietly went to his room and layed on the bed, placing the baby on the pillow next to him and closed his eyes for sleep.

The next day

Pablo was awoken by a loud, terrified scream of a woman. He quickly got up, grabbed his weapon, and ran from the house to find his new friend trying to run back to safety ''KILL IT KILL IT BEFORE IT HURTS SOMEONE!'' the woman screeched out, not realizing it was only a baby. Pablo quickly picked Puck up and held him defensively as a large man came to a stop ''Drop it boy, it's dangerous and will eat our kattle and hurt us!'' the man said sternly ''NO! He's just a baby, please don't hurt him... He only hatched yesterday! Please don't hurt him, Please!'' Pablo cries out. Before his parents' deaths, they owned a pet dog, who had passed away months before they had, so the house had a dog door... This must have been how Puck got outside... The larger man gave a questioning look and lookeed at the small beast before realizing the obvious ''will bless my eyes... It IS a baby as well! Boy, you know you need the Village Elders' permission for this! go to her IMMEDIETELY!'' the man ordered and Pablo did as told, after getting something warmer on of course.

The Elder, now watching Pablo come closer with the baby Rathalos looked curiously at them both ''Hmmm, this is very rare to see'' she said, her age showing well ''I found him as an egg last night, Ma'am... I thought it was dead so i brought it back for brakfast... Then it hatched last night! Please oh please let me keep him! I'll train him not to attack us and to listen to orders! Please, please I promise!'' Pablo pleeded, begged even. The Elder watched him silently for a good couple of minutes, watching as he seemed to cling to the baby who seemed to cling to him in return ''I sense, this is no ordinary happening young man, maybe this will work, but you MUST put all your effort into this, for when this baby gets bigger and hurts someone or something in the village... He must be destroyed'' the Elder said calmly. Pablo nodded in understanding ''His name's Puck by the way! I'll train him! You'll see!'' he said proudly and running off with Puck to the children's playground were he was instantly given all attention from the kids asking about his new pet. Puck was overjoyed at this, finallly... People who weren't trying to hurt him! It was a very terrifying thing to see, a large man with a large sword nearly hitting him! And what was all this white stuff on the ground!? It was so fascinating yet, so very cold... There were a lot of things Puck was going to learn in his life.

And as the days went by, they soon turned to months and Puck was growing fast. The villagers had grown fond of this bubbly little Rathalos whom was now the size of a 2 year old Aptonoth, and so they all pitched in and built a hous sort of thing, big enough for Puck when he'd be fully grown, this is where he slept and lived now due to his size, with various comfort area full of soft padding and chew toys he'd often play with, and as days turned to months, months turned to years... And along with it, would come fascinating happenings, and dangerous encounters.

Many Years Later

It had been had been 10 years since they built Puck's home, and he was now a fully grown Rathalos, but smaller than most, yet he was a strong and proud villager of this place, and everyone there had a strong bond to him, especially Pablo, who was now a young man of 18 Years Old. He had done training school since he was 10, along with Puck of course! Both becoming successful hunters and had completed training school, and a massive amount of the Elders' quests and would soon be sent on their first toughest mission, Land of Tremors! But for now, they enjoyed life whil they had time to relax at the hotsprings near the town, both in the deeper pool of warm waters and bathing, relaxing any aching bones and regaining strength enough for the upcoming mission.

Pablo was very handsom indeed, his hair had grown to his shoulders near enough and his features framed an appealing face and body. Puck however, had grown into a rather stunning young Rathalos, with Azure scales which were very bright, signalling he was young, healthy, and able to mate, but that part in his life wouldn't come just yet. He was only just starting to reach maturity of course, his behavior was still near enough baby like, but he was still responsible and had control while in the village, Pablo had taught him well!

The Village Elder had observed them through the 10 years, noticing that their bond with eachother had grown to an unbreeakable point. She saw that this Rathalos, was indeed special, and Pablo had great skill with teaching this Rathalos to such an acceptional state. Pablo's word was final when it came to Puck, if 'no' was said, it MEANT 'no', and if Pablo got angry, Puck knew to go and hide, then come back and show he was sorry in ways which only Pablo would understand, it was the showing of a beautiful friendship and the purest of bonds. But now... Their Faith in eachother would be tested greatly, when they battle 2 Tigrex in one go...

Would Pablo aid Puck if he were to be pinned? Wold Puck protect Pable if he was backed into a corner? How would they go about tag teaming these Tigrex and bring them down before being brought down? The only way they would know, was to go and do this mission when they were called on to do it.

It was clear to them... Help eachother the best they can, or not at all and fall in battle if they are to become pinned or backed into a corner...

END OF CHAPTER ONE

Yeah... Sorry for any dodgyness or lameness in this Chapter, it'll pick up more soon I promise! See, Chapter one, as said, is Puck's Birth, so I don't exactly have too much to explain. But since Puck isn't fully mature YET, I can add his child like side in the coming chapters, and add other characters into it (no spoilers). You'll probably find, the more you read into it, the more you'll get into it, well, I hope. It'll be a lovely story if it all goes how I hope in the making of the up coming chapters.
