Journey of a Monster Hunter II: Training in the Homestead

BillyBobJho (talk) Ten Years LaterBillyBobJho (talk)

As William walked up the old path up to the old cottage on the hill, he reminded himself of the whole ordeal that occoured ten years ago. Lucy, his Father, all of it. It was hard walking in the snow, deep as it was, stumbling every now and again. Finally after a long treck he arrived at the cottage he and Lucy once visited before her death. He Knocked. An old man opened the door. He was short, with grey hair and a tipical grumpy face. He wore a brown hat that cast a shadow over his eyes. He looked at Will who was some what intimidated by him.

'Urm, I was told you could train me,' he said quite timidly.

The man examined him looking at Williams build.

Of course Will's sise has changed since he was a child, he was now much taller 6ft to be precise and his chest was quite large, his muscles where huge too, due to this however this made him alot heavyer and he wayed in at about 120 kilo's.

'Yes, yes do come in,' he replied, eventually. 'Let me introduce myself, my name is, he paused, Achillies, your master and mentor during your traning.'

He spoke with a odd accent, what seemed a mix of Brittish and American.

The Homestead was larger than Will had expected, with many rooms and armouries and weapon racks, a kitchen run by 5 or so felines, an art gallery of monsters he had never seen before, a vast open garden where wild animals ran free, traning rooms fitted with safety mats created out of various pelts. It was truely enourmous. But his awe was soon interupted by Achillies who shouted from the other room.

'Your traning will start tomorrow child, feel free to take weapons and hunt in the forest, or gather materials. Remember to take Hot Drinks at this time of year, it gets really cold out there!'

'Ok, thanks,' Will replied as he gased at the numorous paintings.

It was getting dark, and Achillies was getting ready to go to sleep, he needed it, they both needed it, they had a long day ahead of them.

'Get up my boy we have work to do!' Achillies Bellowed.

He was wearing his armour: It had a hard helmet that was black, with a purple tinge and a dark fur cape. William just assumed it was that of a Nargacuga but it was actually from a Goa Magara. Other than that he wore his usual clothes, a brown jaket made out of pelts and boots that reached his knees.

'Go to the armoury,' he said, 'and pick up a weapon and put on some armour'

William did as he was told, picked up a long sword and put on a set of ordinary armour.

'Now first I need you to hunt a Bulldrome, and bring me its tusks. You will be sure to find many in the wilderness especially as it is winter.' Achillies stated

William did as he was told, but soon returned, with nothing.

'I am sorry Master, I have failed you.' William said, in a low voice.

'You what?' Achillies said

'I-I-'

Achillies cut him off.

'You incompitent fool! I sent you on a simple task and you come back with appologies and excuses?!' he shouted

Achillies turned to look at him.

'Leave.' he said, slowly and deeply. 'Now!'

'But I cant,' he pleaded. 'I have to slay a beast to forfil my duty!'

'Let me tell you something William, life is not a fary tail, and THERE ARE NO HAPPY ENDINGS!'shouted Achillies

'What would you have me do then, I made a promise to my people,' Will replied

'I will give you one more chance,' Achillies said as he stared out into the wilderness, waching the trees sway camly in the evening breeze.

And they both walked into the Homestead and discussed Will's training.

'Wake up boy we have work to do!' exlaimed Achillies 'And put you armour on,' he followed as he put on his.

They soon eat breakfast-a bowl of garden weat, and set off into the wilderness, carrying their heavy weapons on their back.

'Where are we going?' asked William

'You will see...' replied Acilies
