Journey (26)

The Nest is in trouble, what's your thoughts

As soon as they moved to take a round against the mountain and leave the second island they heard the howling. The monstrous aura was enveloping near and far. It was the call of the monsters gathering near the mountain and trio could not ignore the sign of danger because they were very close to it. "Something is going to happen; can we leave now?" Wuza asked. The signs were evident of the upcoming storm. "What if the Nest is in danger? There is possibility that the senior team must have built their Nest at the peak of the mountain." Lowa spoke concerned. 

"Does it have to do something with us travelers?" Wuza was unwilling bother the personal matters of this island. "If it is Nest then yes" Lowa mumbled. "I mean if ever they come to know that when the Nest was in danger we did not render any service; they might label us as deserters of the land. It is considered equal of going against the Fundamental Rule of the Hightown. I am not saying that this would let the Hightown took some harsh step against us however; we will never be able to earn the trust no matter if we appear as strongest hunters in the future." Lowa ended her talk while sneaking the young hunter. 

Qiao contracted his brows after hearing the last sentence. 'So the conclusion was something similar of moral basics just like the conventional rules which were not written in any of the law book?' Qiao thought in his head. "This…" Wuza held his mouth which was about to fell. He never thought that the Hightown was built on complex rules which the blood hunters might never be able to follow if they were asked. But because he was aspiring to become one of the hunter so he has obligation toward the Hightown. 

Qiao waved his sword and turned around, "Even if we want to leave we won't be able to do." They were near the mountain and when the monster called others for a big gathering trio came under their circle.



At the mountain peak 

"Sooner or later it was expected; the concerns of the Hightown proved true. They are gathering at north part of the mountain. We are four and the number of monsters is in strength." Silver Class peak level hunter was standing alert for the attack. 

He was wearing a hoody fleece of some unknown material. The edges of the fleece were shining with the pleated lace; the right arm was holding the long sword. The tip of the sword was extraordinary sharp. "Do we have permission to use the stones for attacks?" he spotted the first monster appearing at the downhill. "We have permission but…" the other team member stopped in the middle of the sentence. "But?" the hunter asked. What he feared most was that the Hightown has some useless conventional rules. Though the rules were part of their hunting yet they were not very happy to follow them. 

"I guess we have limited number of attack type stones currently." The hunter shrugged his shoulders. He was in this team for the quest assigned by the Hightown. Quests were taken easy feats because these were part of neutral duties of the teams. Missions were called super insane or carrying unexpected events. The truth was that anything could turn against in time of sudden invasion. The lucky hunters keep reserve of attack type stones for some unlucky events. "Then I will use them sparingly." The hunter who was ready to face the first monster shouted with excitement. 

They were not ordered to go look for the monsters for experience points especially when they were on quests. The sudden invasion can be taken as the treat for the hunters for two reasons; first they could practice some hunting and the second learn various types of the capabilities of the monsters. These monsters were labeled as the hit mark and the Hightown was giving attention to them. Their strength was similar to the blood hunters and they were capable of some unexpected feats. "Go as fast as you can." The third hunter yelled the temporary slogan of this team. 

He was coming from the back and reaching the front. His bare chest was big and broad; there was an emblem hanging on it. It seemed he was worriless about the hot wind and the thought that it would tan his skin. The burly and stoic face added charm to his manly high pitch. All his attention was focused on to tell this monster who was the boss. "I am already here." The first hunter who saw him madly running toward the monster mumbled. He felt the urge to wait what was going to happen but slacking was not available option here. 

Everyone has responsibility on his shoulder. Soon the monsters started appearing from most part of the lower area of the mountain. "The Nest is under the threat." The team leader announced. He also joined others for face to face battle against monsters. If one were to ask whether they had had the faith for their victory then they would definitely deny however it was the spirit of a hunter which never let him halt hopeless. The hunters trust their own strength and also the Hightown. They believed that the rules of the Hightown though seemed harsh but they worth following. 

The rush of the monsters was mind baffling. Till this day the Nest had had been the most peaceful place though there were some predictions from the higher level hunters based on the changes and the monsters. The third hunter who was rushing madly staggered through the uneven steep and then attacked the monster. The monster halted and dodged. Most of the monsters attacking from the front line were similar in their appearance. Blue eyes with black rims in the middle of the burly faces; ears were nowhere to be seen, the legs were not short or long; the tanned bodies were exceptionally thick and dry. 

This appearance was in the middle of the winter then one can only imagine how they look like in the harsh weather. They needed mild and temperate weather for maintaining their bodily capability and the adverse weaknesses. These monsters were runaways from the Volcanic Territory. Escaping was the only option rather than facing extinction. They were stronger like blood hunters but at the cost of their weaknesses. The naturally developed capability demanded a stable atmosphere. Here they were battling just to get a mountain. They have checked whether they could migrate toward the next island but it has long boundary line and they might perish crossing it. 

The human walk on two feet and the monsters otherwise. In the middle of the boundary line; the water level increases eventually leaving no way for a normal monster to cross it without fear of drowning in the depths of the water. These monsters cannot take the small broken parts of the ground for their rest because there was threat of constant dislocation and relocation. They cannot predict when they would fell inside the water if they got distracted or ignored the sudden dislocation. 

In this situation mountain was the only lighthouse in their eyes. 



"The battle had already begun." Wuza could sense the roaring and type of howling. "Then we need to see who is at winning side?" Qiao tightened his grip on the weapon. He was going toward the peak but from a different direction. The present position was definitely chosen by the monsters so taking this route would not sound good. The words of the young hunter were ringing in the head of the huntress, 'This is the last chance for level up' she has a good weapon in her hand and only needed her grit to work on. 

"From here we will be walking side by side and advance ahead." Qiao pointed. It was battle time and they were responsible for their own life as well as hunting. It was also a gesture that Qiao would not be taking their responsibility in the battle. They have to fight their way. Lowa understood and nodded. It was time for some action and getting experience points. "Wuza you don't have to hunt. Make sure that if any of the hunters is facing serious trouble then you have to render helping hand. This means the seniors too." Qiao voiced his last guidance for the blood hunter. 

The blood hunter was meant to work with collaboration especially when he has yet to face the seniors in the Hightown. The Hightown can only decide about his hunting career. Till then he could show how worthy he was with his responsible behavior. The seniors of this Nest team might notice his good qualities and refer or otherwise however Qiao won't care if they go against. He promised that he would fight for his place in the Hightown sincerely and he meant it.
