2 Meet the Hunters.

Dundorma { Night }

Somewhere in the city of Dundorma, in a house near the gates, a man can be seen holding a piece of paper, holding it like it was a treasure. He was with his trusty buddy, a palico. Palico's, for lack of a better description, are cats who can stand on their hind legs and have human-level intelligence. Now, as both cat and human were examining the piece of paper with scrutinizing gazes, the human suddenly exclaimed. " YES!!!! I finally got in! I'm finally a certified hunter! I wonder if those two other clowns got registered. It would be great if they did, then we can finally be a hunting party. " " Yeah meowster " the cat exclaimed. As he was folding the letter of his registration, the human gazed outside on his window, wondering if his friends were as fortunate as him.

Yukumo { Night }

As that was happening in Dundorma, in the village of Yukumo, a scene of something similar was also occurring. In a wooden house near the hot springs, on the second floor, a man and his palico were also examining a piece of paper, reading as fast as he could. With wide eyes, he jumped into the air while exclaiming his happiness. " Alright Jiro, we got in! " " Alright meowster, that's pawesome! " " I know right, I just hope Blue and Zora got in as well, we've been waiting for this for weeks now. " He said as tucked the letter into his drawer. " Well, we can only wait to hear their news, isn't that right Jiro, now let's get some sleep, we're gonna need it for tomorrow. " As he said that, he was already tucking Jiro in, along with himself.

Pokke { Night }

In the snow village of Pokke, a man was running in the cold-filled night. In his hand was a letter, and on his shoulder was a palico, as they running towards their home, they were suddenly called by an elderly voice. " What's with the hurry Zora? It's already night out, you should be sleeping right now. " The now identified Zora then turned towards the voice. " Sorry about the ruckus chief! But I just a letter, and I think this is it. I was just excited is all." " Yeah, meowster was really excited for today. " the cat on his shoulder said. " Well, I hope it's good news, now hurry on home and don't wake the entire village. " " Will do chief! " Zora said as he sped on to his home. As they made it to his house, they immediately went in and shut the door. " This is it Zira, we'll finally know if we got in or not. " " Hurry up meowster, open it up, and see what it says. " Zira says excitedly. Now wasting any more time, Zora ripped open the letter and read through the contents of the letter. As he read through it, his face formed a huge smile. " Yahoooo, we got in Zira!! " "That's great meowster. " " Sure is, now we just have to wait and see if the others also got in. Now, let's get some shuteye, we're gonna need it for tomorrow. " he said as he went to his bed while carrying a now yawning Zira with him. ' Wonder how the others are doing was his last thought as he drifted on to sleep.

??? { Night }

" You sure this thing will hold up? " a gruff voice asked. " For the thousandth time, YES! Now shut your trap and keep hauling, we need to finish transporting this by dawn, or the boss with have our heads! " " Fine, but I got this gut feeling man, something bad is gonna happen, I just don't know when. " " You and your dumb gut feelings, stop slacking off and keep working. " As the voices went back to work, in a small cell, three sets of eyes suddenly opened. All three shining with different colors, glowing in the night.
