Aim gulped as he heard those words. “I really wouldn’t say those creatures are monsters. We don’t know their story.”
“This isn’t a scary story for campfires Aim.” Lee started. He looked directly at Geddon before saying anything else.
“Long ago the world was in harmony and lived together in one big village, from what I heard the people called it 'Pangea'. All races were open arms with one another. But that soon ended when the Earth split and erupted, causing the oceans to flow away parts of 'Pangea' in our separate Sectors that we’re in now”.
The fire started to crackle even louder making Aim jump up a bit and look over his shoulder, remembering what he saw earlier.
“Out from parts of the world, horrifying creatures started to crawl out from the earth, these creatures are something you never seen before Aim, and aren’t your normal hunts. They are a cross breed between two or more animals and/or insects and give off a malicious aura that can stop you in your tracks, not like the lower levels”.
Lee looked down into the fire giving off a blank stare that had some sadness behind it. “I’ve had teammates who died to them and didn’t make it past age twelve…they don’t stop, until every ounce of your blood is theirs”.

Geddon and Aim looked at each other and gulped.
“Lee I didn’t know that happened to you.” Geddon said getting up and putting his hand on Lee’s shoulders. “Don’t be afraid to be on my shoulder even though I’m only Fourteen”.
Lee smiled and went back to his usual self. “Even I don’t know much of them but their history and what Lord Regina told me, when I say run Geddon you do just that.” He commanded, Geddon gave a nod and looked at Aim.
“I got it too Geddon jeez I’ll listen to the Captain”.
“What is your dream Aim?” Lee asked shocking both of them.
“My dream? Well I’ve been chosen to be a Master Hunter, I’m not like you Royals who get to choose”.
Lee took noticed in Aim’s anger then looked at Geddon.
“I wanna be as strong as my mom! Become a great Warrior, clean up our name, and help revolutionize the world, just like that Pangea story but way COOLER!” Geddon shouted out.
“Hold on to those, Aim if you stay around Geddon long enough now all that forced choice won’t mean a thing”.
“Well then what is your dream Lee?” Aim asked ignoring his comment.
“To simply protect those who are precious to me.” He smiled.
Lee got up from the log he was sitting on and told everyone they should get some sleep and travel at first light. The team agreed and put out the campfire, going back to their tents.
As Geddon unzipped his tent he couldn’t shake off a strange feeling of somehow being watched from the dark of the forest.
“Fiends, humans, hell even these ‘godlike’ beings I keep hearing about.” Geddon thought. “I’ll still become the shining Star my village will be proud of and make this world as it should be”!
