[nargacuga-tamer8000]

Hi, so you write short fan-fics (however its called) about MHST, right? So can i ask for one? Im kinda new to this concept but i’ll try

So can you write a short story (i’ll refer it that way, my English’s not the best) with Avinia? Basically that it takes place after the Oltura fight, Zellard & the cult were sparred but they didn’t truly learn their lesson & continued trying to destroy everything, and then they found out that Y/N has strong & special powers & they kidnapped Y/N & tortured him and forced her/him to use her/his powers in a way that the cult could make him their tool for world recreation & Avinia saves him? (A lil bit based off a fan fiction i saw with Alwin, Reverto, Cheval & Kyle saving Y/N from the oltura cult). No rush, you don’t have to

Interesting! I hope you like it!

Lost But Not Forgotten

When you turn up missing one day, Avinia feels uneasy for some reason. Luckily, her loyal Frostfang is on the case.

The winter winds bellowed and blew throughout the Loloska region. This was a sign to the people of Kuan that an even colder cold front was on its way, and the village needs to start prepping to keep everyone as warm as possible. Avinia stood outside the village gates with Frostfang behind her. The Barioth sneezed a little as a snowflake fell on his nose. His rider glanced at him to make sure he was alright and then turned her gaze on the horizon while brushing a strand of blonde hair behind her ear. A frown came onto her face.

Where were you?

After Ratha had destroyed the windmills her and the village took so long to build, you had offered to help in any way possible to make up for it. Avinia took that to heart when she asked you to come back to Kuan and help her collect some firewood. And while you could be a scatterbrain, you were normally punctual when it came to someone asking for help. So that raised that question as to what trouble you got into. Frostfang suddenly appeared very alert.

"What's wrong?" She asked her monstie, but the Barioth remained vigilant, staring off into the distance as if he were in a trance.

For some reason, this made Avinia's heart beat frantically. She clutched her hands over her chest in some subconscious attempt to ease her racing heart, but to no avail. Her breath became shaky when Frostfang began to growl while taking a few steps forward.

"What is it?" She pleaded to her monstie, and this time the Barioth turned and leaned down on his left side. It was an invitation to get in the saddle. Avinia took no time in listening to him and hopping up.

The village would have to wait. Her monstie came first.

"Frostfang!" Avinia exclaimed as the Barioth took off faster than a Valstrax. It immediately got ten times colder as Frostfang flew higher and higher, making the wind worse too. Avinia began to feel sick as he flew in the general direction of the Lamure Desert. But she has never felt sick on her monstie before, so why now did she feel so uneasy. Only when the snow began to disperse and made way for warmer winds did Avinia start to understand.

Frostfang has behaved this way once before. And when that happened, she ran into you and Ratha. The idea that Frostfang sensed that you were in danger made her blood run cold.

Eventually, Frostfang landed outside the entrance to a tower in the middle of the desert. It appeared crumbled and abandoned. But despite the Barioth's obvious discomfort at the scorching weather, he began to move inside, forcing his rider to follow behind.

Once inside, Avinia was quick to get her and her monstie behind some crumbled stone when her blue eyes caught sight of some familiar-sounding armor. She herself has never lain eyes on these cultists, but you described them to her well enough for her not to be mistaken.

The cult that had wanted to summon Oltura was still at large.

Avinia heard that they were sparred, but they must not have stopped trying to find a way to bring back their god of a monster. She bet they were still after Ratha in some grotesque effort to sacrifice him. What is wrong with people?

Frostfang must have sensed the Rathalos in danger and wanted to help. She felt pride at her monstie's actions, but the sound of an elevator caught her attention. Avinia expected more of these deranged riders, maybe even Ratha was with them, but nothing could have prepared her for what she actually saw.

It was you. Stripped of your protective armor, covered in cuts, and chained. You looked awful.

She gasped and one of the cultist's monsties, a Nargacuga, glanced in her direction. Avinia covered her mouth with one hand, and used the other to hold Frostfang back so she could listen. The leader, who looked to be wyverian, was speaking to you.

"Are you ready to assist us, boy? " He stated coldly with his hands behind his back. You shakily lifted your head to meet his gaze. Blood had begun to drip into your eyes.

"I said it before, and I'll say it again...Never, Zellard." You sputtered. The wyverian's grip on his hands tightened, obviously pissed off.

"If you won't use your powers, then we'll just have to make you." Zellard threatened. Avinia, still hidden from sight, widened her eyes.

How did they find out about your powers?

Avinia knew about them a little while after she met you. Apparently, you could use your voice to get wild monsters to listen to you. And even more so, you could use powers of monsters, such as breathing fire or some other type of elemental attack. It was like you had the body of a human and the soul of a monster. It was one of the reasons you bonded with Ratha so well. Both of you had unfathomable power. How these guys found out, she had no idea. But with Oltura gone, they must want to use your powers in its place to bring the world to an end. Or worse, somehow bring that elder dragon back.

"Make me?" Your voice brought her back to reality.

With a nod to one of the cult riders, who hurried off down one of the corridors, Ratha was soon brought into view. He too was chained, but also drugged, making his powers worthless. The cultist who brought Ratha out then had a sword placed over his neck.

"You will create us a new world, or your Rathalos won't get to greet another dawn." The leader threatened with a sick grin.

Your eyes widened, clearly feeling the pain of not just yourself, but also your monstie. Tears soon began to spill, making Zellard laugh.

Avinia clenched her fists; she too had tears. How cruel, forcing you to choose between the life of your monstie or the death of the entire world. This time, she couldn't stop Frostfang from making their presence known as he leaped out and roared.

The Nargacuga from earlier, along with all the cult members, turned to look. Shock and anger began to move throughout the group, but you just look beyond stunned.

"Avinia?"

"Frostfang! Let's go!" She wasn't even upset or scared that they have been discovered. Avinia was going to save you, it was just a matter of when and how.

But how was she going to fight all these riders? Not to mention that Frostfang was going to get heatstroke soon. She had to think quickly, and her eyes scanned all the enemy monsties.

A Nargacuga, a Tigrex, a Purple Ludroth, and a Gendrome...

A small smile came to her face. None of these monsties could fly.

She urged Frostfang to take to the air and start firing ice cyclones. Two of the four monsties below struggled to move out of the way. Avinia used the large and open interior of this room to her advantage during the fight, and once Frostfang was ready, they unleashed their devastating kinship attack.

Once the air settled, the cultists and their monsties lay unconscious.

"We did it Frostfang!" She shouted victoriously as her monstie practically collapsed on the ground, breathing heavily from the fight and the heat. Avinia was quick to hop off and feel his skin which felt like it was on fire.

"Oh no, you're burning up..." She murmured pitifully as she stroked the Barioth's neck.

"Hey Avinia...up here." Your voice sounded weak, but there was still strength behind your words. She looked between Frostfang and you but eventually realized that all she could do was let her monstie rest. Running up to you, she began to undo your chains while trying to ignore the hissing you would do every time she accidentally brushed against a cut.

"Sorry." She whispered, hating to see you in pain. To your surprise, you laughed a little.

"Sorry? You just saved my life. And Ratha's too..." You said, a little out of breath by the end of your statement. It was clear that your body was weak even if your mind wasn't.

Avinia moved over to start freeing Ratha, the monstie still appearing out of it. But other than that, he was unharmed.

"Where did that wyverian go?" She asked, her senses on high alert with the fact that he was the only one not present.

"Zellard? He ran off when the fight began. Probably didn't want to get caught again...coward." You muttered while scooting over to lean against the way, closing your eyes.

Then you peeked one open to look at her as she checked Ratha over.

"By the way...how did you know we were here?"

"Frostfang sensed something. Like that time when I met you. He brought me all the way here...Oh no, Frostfang!" Avinia then remembered her weakened monstie that she had left behind. Running over to him, she found that he was still down, and breathing slowly. His skin still felt too hot. A Barioth's skin should feel like ice, and his felt like magma.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, my beloved Frostfang." She cried slightly while petting his head. While she was very grateful to have saved you, she loved her monstie with all her heart, and seeing him in any sort of pain brought her grief.

"Avinia, here."

Somehow you had stumbled down the stairs and over to her. You had some cool mist in your hand. But where...?

"Ratha has some supplies still in his saddlebag. Those cultists weren't looking for any loot." You said with a lopsided grin. Upon hearing his name, Ratha slowly got to his feet and stretched. The drug must've worn off enough that he could move again.

"Thank you, Y/N." Avinia said with a smile so bright it could make the sun jealous. Feeling flustered made you feel lightheaded. But before you went down, Ratha was quick to come over and catch you.

"Here Frostfang. This will make you feel better." Avinia said soothing while applying the cool mist to the Barioth's body. Within a matter of minutes, his skin felt cold to the touch again, and he was much more alert.

"I'm so glad you're okay! That you all are okay!" She said joyfully while hugging Frostfang before moving to hug you. But you just winced.

"Ow. Ow. Ow."

"Sorry!"

"It's alright. Thanks, Avinia. And you too Frostfang." You said with a slight laugh. She smiled at you while Frostfang lightly growled in acknowledgement. Leaning back on her knees, Avinia gave you a concerned look.

"How did those people know about your powers? And how did they find you?"

"It's a long story."

Looking back, you saw that Ratha had fallen asleep. Using his energy so quickly to catch you after being drugged must have taken a shock to his body. Avinia looked to see that Frostfang had fallen asleep as well. The heat shock and battle took a toll on him. Seeing as you guys weren't going anywhere soon, she scooted over to sit beside you.

"We've got time for a long story."

My experience

[elstreem]

Some more MHS2 shenanigans.

I forgot what I saved this clip for so I snorted when I saw the last part. Beam fight!!!

To explain, if you give your Monstie any gene that's an elemental breath attack (in this case I gave my Ochre a Blazeball gene from Yian Kut Ku) regardless of whether that Monstie is compatible with said element they gain a chance for beam fights lol. It's entirely possible to even make a Monstie possess elemental genes it would be weak to lol, I gave my Kulu the Bubbly Dance gene from a Mizu.

I've been interacting with a ton of mhs posts the last few days, but I haven't posted any mhs art yet

These are just some pretty rough headcanons for the 3 rathas! I hate how the game makes almost no effort to distinguish between the 3, so I took it into my own hands >:)

An Afterthought

Reverto shares a moment with you, the young rider protagonist, after the fight with the Cephadrome in the caves.

#10 "You know I'll always be here, right?"

Hope you enjoy! @kizzorelli

The Barrens, much like the Lamure Desert, were hot and dry during the day but tended to get cold at night. The presence of the ocean gave way to a slight breeze here and there, making things even cooler in the evening. Most of the monsters in this region began to settle down for the evening except for a few predators.

You and Reverto have just defeated a Cephadrome for Scrivener Commander Lilia as the monster had caused a Plesioth to disturb life in the Barrens. The hunter feels as though he has taught you a few things when it comes to understanding everyone's perspectives, but he could also tell you were a little distracted.

Of course, he understood you were worried about Ratha. Reverto knows riders well enough to see that there is kinship between you guys. You can probably feel the wyvern's fear and stress.

This whole experience has been an eye-opener to him when it came to riders and their bond with monsters. Perhaps you taught him a little something too.

But right now, he had to deal with a never-ending human need. Nature was calling.

"I'll just wait here, I guess." You told him with a shrug, not really understanding why he couldn't wait. Lulucion was literally right over there.

"Be back in a jiffy." Reverto said with a quick wave while wandering off to find some privacy.

As he left, you meandered over to Navirou, who was perched on top of a rock near a palm tree along the shoreline. A few Ludroth were dipping into the water to begin their nightly hunt, but other than that, all was peaceful. You said a few words to your loud-mouthed Felyne companion as you sat down and leaned against said boulder he was on.

"Really? He needs to pee! Gimme a break..." Was all Reverto heard before he finally tuned the annoying guy out...

Not too long later

Reverto pushed back some brittle and dry shrubbery as he made his way back to the shoreline where you were. After breaking through the brush, he dusted his hands off before noticing a familiar striped patterning off in the distance.

A Tigrex had left its den to begin hunting. Best get back to you and back to Lulucion as soon as possible.

Although, if push came to shove, Navirou would be a good snack for it. The thought made Reverto laugh as you came within his sights.

However, he noticed the moonlight reflecting off your face and the slight puffiness of your eyes. Have you been crying? Also, Navirou was missing, and you were all on your own. Did you guys get in some sort of fight? The idea that you were left here alone made him paranoid for some reason.

"Hey Y/N, where's Navirou?" Reverto asked. To be honest, he wasn't too worried about the Felyne as that cat still had plenty of lives to waste. But it felt rude not to ask.

"He was tired of waiting for you, so he went back to Lulucion on his own." You said while wiping at your face nonchalantly. The hunter raised a brow with a "seriously" look on his face.

"Bro couldn't wait five minutes?"

"He's Navirou. I don't ask questions, and I don't expect normalcy."

"Fair enough."

The hunter studied your expression during this short conversation. You seemed distant and didn't have an ounce of humor in you. Now, you guys weren't the best of friends having just met, but his interactions with you while hunting the Cephadrome and being in the Barrens has shown Reverto that you normally have a much more upbeat personality. Not to mention the tear stains he saw when returning to you a few minutes ago.

Something was wrong and there was a little voice inside him saying to figure out what that is. So, instead of telling you to get up and get back to Lulucion, he plopped down beside you with his legs stretched out and arms leaning back. You turned to look at him, confused.

"You must miss Ratha." He stated plainly. It took you a moment to reply, not expecting Reverto to say that.

You nodded numbly.

"I've been with him since he was born. I mean, it's like that with all my monsties, but Ratha needs me more. I feel like a parent and the whole world is against him...it kills me inside to know that only I can see the gentle soul inside." You said while shaking a bit, moving to hug your legs as you stared out at the shoreline where the waves were gently lapping at the sand. Reverto eyed you with sympathy.

"Also..." You hesitated a little, turning your head away.

"Yeah?" The hunter pushed you.

"Truth is, I don't know if I am strong enough." You whispered, tears threatening to spill out as you voiced the bitter thought you've been keeping caged for a while.

For Reverto, your words just brought him back to the image of a young hunter, fresh from training. Armed with nothing but a longsword as he went to fight a Tigrex, wondering if he was strong enough. He shook his head at the memory from his youth.

"Hey, you are strong enough." Reverto encouraged you while sitting up in a cross-legged position. You just shook your head with a sad smile.

"I don't know if I believe that Reverto...and neither do you."

The hunter felt his face flush hot with guilt at your words. He didn't mean to make you feel so down on yourself. For some reason, he just wanted to see your strength. If Ratha proved to be a danger to others, he wanted to know you could keep everyone safe.

"I made a mistake. You more than proved yourself today. I bet Lilia already has Ratha waiting for you in town." He praised you while moving to pat your shoulder. While you still weren't back to your normal self, you did give him smile.

"How come you seem to always know what to say?" You asked while raising your head a bit to meet his eyes. Reverto flashed you a smile and simply shrugged.

"You aren't the first young rider that I've helped. And just like that other rider, you managed to teach me something new."

While you knew, from Navirou anyway, that Reverto wasn't a novice when it came to riders, it still surprised you how he can take on such a paternal role. You've known him for only a day but felt like you have known him your whole life. He definitely had mentor vibes to him.

"It's nice to know that you understand how I feel, especially as a hunter. Shows me that maybe we can all get along after all. You've got my back, right?" You said in a shy manner as you didn't want to overstep any boundaries with Reverto. His answer brought a smile to your face.

"You know I'll always be here, right?" The hunter said gently while moving to give you a friendly side hug. The entire interaction made you feel safe, and you melted into his side.

"Thank you."

He moved to release you and you both took to staring out at the sea where a Purple Ludroth had breached to take in some air. A few Ludroth followed suit, and they all swam together under the moonlight.

"By the way, what did I happen to teach you?" You asked while turning to look at him. Reverto continued to stare at the leviathans as he answered you.

"That it's okay to be afraid."

You smiled to yourself and once again joined in observing the beauty of nature as the monsters peacefully splashed about before diving under the azure waves. Sighing to yourself, you wished the peace could last a little longer.

But just then, the loud stomping of a large monster brought you and Reverto to your feet.

A Tigrex, much like the one the hunter saw earlier, has emerged from the shrubbery away from the shoreline, cornering you and Reverto against the sea. I guess you guys were its chosen targets for the night.

"I'm sure glad it's okay to be afraid." You stated meekly.

"You and me both." Reverto said while reaching for his weapon.

The choice was fighting or braving it with the leviathans in the sea. Placing its forelimbs against the ground, the Tigrex raised its head and roared in a furious manner. Its wings flared out in a sign of dominance.

While you were practically shaking from the sudden encounter with the monster, you felt an odd sense of peace when you looked at Reverto. He would protect you and you would protect him.

And when the fight was over, he handed you a mega potion with his signature toothy grin. After all, he'll always be there for you.

Got bored in an art exam today and ended up making a design for Ratha, definitely going to make it digital when I get the chance (i broke my ipad sobs) and I only had a blue pen on me, but here’s what I drew :D

[jams-sims]

I can't wait to jump right the fuck back into Monster hunter stories. Anything dealing with breeding/eggs and monster collecting I am in.

If only I could go to a Monster Hunter cafe..🍓🍨
