Hunt 16: The Creators
It's been 2 weeks since Link joined the gang, Link is trying his best to keep up with Zedept and the girls but his inexperience is starting to slow them down.
Canyon: Mid-Day
Zedept and the gang are resting in a small cave after hunting 4 Daimyo Hermitaurs at once. "That was a tough hunt." Lyra said exhausted. "We were constantly evading." Raylin said. "I'm sorry, I'm slowing everyone down." Link said apologizing. "This is why I didn't want to bring a rookie with us." Zedept said cruelly. "Zedept!" Lyra and Raylin yelled. "He's right though." Link said. Lyra and Raylin look at him. "I'm still new to all of this." Link said sadly.
Zedept gets up and walks over to Link. Link looks up, Lyra and Raylin watches. Zedept punches Link on his head and then walks away. "As long as you understand your own limits." Zedept said. "I understand." Link said. "Lyra, Raylin, stay here with Link, I'm going to take a look around and find out where we are." Zedept said as he heads towards the cave's entrance. "Ok." Raylin said. "Be careful." Lyra said. Zedept nods and leaves. After an hour, Zedept returned. "How's it looking?" Link asks. Zedept sighs. "We have to go through the caves to get through the canyon to reach the sand boat port." Zedept said aggravated.
"You don't sound happy about that." Lyra said. "Well, because it will get dark in there and I don't have many spare torches with me and we will most likely encounter monsters that attack from the ceiling so we need to keep an eye out as well as our ears." Zedept explained. "Any idea on how long it's going to take us to get through?" Raylin asks. Zedept looks at Link. "Hopefully no more than a couple of hours." Zedept said. "We better get going then." Link said. "You sure you can keep up?" Zedept asks. "Yes." Link said. "That's the spirit." Lyra said. "Then let's go." Raylin said. The gang leaves the cave and heads towards the canyons caves.
Canyon: Underground Caves
The gang have been walking through the caves for 50 minutes. "So far no monsters." Link said. "Shhh, keep your voice down. The monsters here have sensitive hearing." Zedept said softly. "Sorry." Link apologizes softly. After walking for 3 minutes, Zedept stopped. "What's?" Lyra asks before Zedept covered her mouth. Zedept is looking around and then he puts out his torch. They stayed quiet and remained still as they hear echoes of monsters' roars.
"Hold hands with each other and follow me." Zedept whispered to everyone. They all hold hands and Zedept leads them away from the roars, thanks to Zedept's eye being used to complete darkness. After 20 minutes, the roars stopped. "I think we're safe now." Zedept said as he relights his torch. "How can you see in that darkness?" Lyra asks. "I spent a long time in complete darkness like this so my eye is used to this type of darkness." Zedept explained. "Oh, that's cool." Link said. "I agree." Raylin said.
"GGGAAAAAA!" A voice echoed. The gang jumped from the sudden noise. "This way!" Zedept said and they run towards the noise. They find 4 hunters and 1 of them is on the ground. "Hang in there!" A male in Jhen Moran armor and Calm Sands (Sword and Shield) said. "What's going on?" Zedept asks. "He got hit with Gigginox poison and we don't have any antidotes left." A male in Ceadeus armor and Barbarian Sharq (Long Sword)said. Link pulls out an antidote. "Here." Link said as he hands it to the male in the Jhen armor. The male then pours it in the mouth on the male in Azure Rathalos armor and Shiny Rathalos Sword (Greatsword).
The male in the Rathalos armor wakes up. "What happened?" He asks. "You took a direct hit from a Gigginox poison ball." A male in Diablos armor and Spirit Dragonwood Horn (Hunting Horn) said. "At least you all are safe." The male in the Rathalos armor said. "Excuse me but who are you 4?" Raylin asks. "Right, I'm Rocks." The male in the Jhen armor said. "I'm Myst." The male in Ceadeus armor said. "I'm Tre (tray)." The male in Diablos armor said. "And I'm Ave." The male in the Rathalos armor said. Rocks, 24 years old, has flat, black hair that reaches down to his shoulders and has brown eyes with a little bit above an average built. Myst, 23 years old, white somewhat spikey hair and dark blue eyes. Tre, 23 years old, short brown colored mohawk, brown eyes and larger arms than normal. Ave, 22 years old, short curly black hair and black eyes. "Why is it that I know those names?" Zedept asks in his head. "Thank you for the antidote." Rocks said.
"Glad we can help." Raylin said. "Hold on, I know who you guys are." Zedept said shocked. Everyone looks at him. "You are The Creators!" Zedept said. Lyra, Raylin and Link are shocked at what Zedept said and quickly look at them. "Yep, that's us." Ave said. "You guys are legendary on the Eastern Continent." Lyra said. "Everyone knows who they are." Link said. "Why are you guys here?" Raylin asks. "We're just out for a hunt." Myst said. Rocks then notices Zedept's Shikaiza. "Excuse me, you with the greatsword." Rocks said. "Yes?" Zedept asks. "Your greatsword doesn't look familiar." Rocks said. "That's because it's one-of-a-kind." Zedept said.
"So why are you guys here?" Tre asks. "We're on our way to Garetaten." Link said. "We're heading back there ourselves, you can join us." Ave said. "It would be an honor." Raylin said. "By the way, I'm Zedept." Zedept said. "I'm Lyra." Lyra said. "Raylin." Raylin said. "And I'm Link." Link said. "Now since introductions are over, let's go." Tre said. Zedept and the gang joined The Creators and they head towards Garetaten, hunting cave monsters along the way.
