(Desert zone, afternoon 3:32, at the campsite three days to finish the quest)
Lokee walked into the campsite and took a seat on the bed. "Phew, what a long walk." He said with his forehead dripping with sweat.
"You should've brought a cold drink so you wouldn't have to ask me for one." She said rather annoyed. "And when I say are you ready it means check your inventory and supply yourself with the right items." She looked inside the blue box and found nothing. "Theres no items in the box so you're out of luck." She dug in her inventory and tossed him another cool drink. "Here just in case you get dehydrated again." She said examining her melting wail blades making sure she didn't wear them down on the way up here with the genprey.
"Thanks." Lokee said but knew she wasn't listening, for she was examining her blades. Lokee let out a yawn and stretched his arms; he was a bit tired from the long hike up here. "I'm going to take a little nap okay?" He said scooting back farther on the wooden bed and resting his eyes for a second before he fell off into slumber.
Alleia groaned and left the campsite. She was still cool from her cold drink and she began to hunt and gather from the small enemies. She made her way into the large desert landscape and saw the fins above the sand. "Cephalos..." She groaned, "An under-the-sand bother." She threw a sonic bomb out and it burst out of the sand. It flopped out the ground as she rushed in. She unsheathed her melting wail blade and tore into it and pulled them apart. Fire crackled from the lighter blade and a puff of poison came from the darker. She leaped onto it's back as it swung around. She stabbed into it's neck and fire burst from it. The creature screeched and Alleia hopped off of it as it began flopping till it stopped moving. She smirked, "Such a simple creature." Shaking her head and began carving from it.

Alleia finished carving and walked away. She looked around and saw a few more fins out of the sand, but didn't pay attention. She made her way a passage way out of the hot desert to a cooler area. As she entered the area she noticed a green and tanned raptor with large claws and large fins on the top it's head. "Gendrome..." She said as she unsheathed her blades. It rose it's head and looked around, for it was slightly blind and unable to see what was in front of it. She charged in and drove her blades into it and pulled them apart. She held them together and did a curving slash to it's neck. The gendrome cried out and genprey came to it's aid from various areas. Alleia looked around to see she was surrounded by genprey. "Dammit." She growled to herself. The gendrome rose it's claws in the air and drove them down on Alleia's shoulders. She winced with pain and dropped to a knee. She stood back up and the genprey began to charge in. Alleia back flipped and hopped off of multiple genprey and rushed from the area. She made her way to another spacious desert landscape. The genprey chased after her as did the gendrome. In the middle of the sand she stopped, "I'm tired of running." She said lowly. Alleia faced the charging genprey and rose her blades in the air and a felt a power jolt through her body. Alleia hacked and slashed her way through all the genprey in her way and made it to the gendrome. She looked into its red eyes, it didn't look back, but lunged at her trying to bite her. Alleia sidestepped and countered with a spiral of multiple slashes. The Gendrome flew in the air and fell in the tough sand. Alleia leaped onto it and began slashing it wildly. The gendrome juddered then lowered it's head to the sand motionless. Alleia stepped off of it and exhaled as her blades came to her sides. The gust of air flowed from her body and the feel of immense power dropped from her body. She sheathed her blades and began carving from the gendrome, her shoulders began to sting as she bent over to carve from the drome. "Damn..." She winced a bit more. "It must've cut deep."

Lokee woke up and gave a little upper body stretch. He began scooting himself to the edge of the wooden bed. He looked around and noticed Alleia was gone. "She must've went off mining ore or something like that." He looked through his inventory and saw a cool drink. He decided to drink it since it got a bit hotter. It gave him a little shiver, but he got over it. He stood up and made his way out of the campsite.
(Desert, evening 6:42, three days to finish the quest.)
He made his way into the cool desert and looked around. Fins were poking out of the sand. "Cephalos." He said and sighed not bothering with them. Lokee continued on to a smaller desert zone with an oasis. A few hermitaurs where there eating a few of the stalks shooting out of the shallow water. Lokee didn't want to disturb it, but in the end he knew it would be a bother. He unsheathed his ravager blade and concentrated his power to his gut. As three seconds came he drove the blade down on the hermitaur and sliced clean through it. He lifted the blade from out of the sand and sheathed it once again. He looked at the pond and heard a rumbling under the sand. He turned his head and saw a tanned fin under the sand. "Dammit the Cephradrome." He hissed; Lokee searched for his sonic bombs, but soon he remember he forgot them in his chest. He sighed, "I should've take a bit longer to get my supplies ready." The large cephradrome emerged from the sand and slithered its way over to Lokee. Quickly unsheathing his blade and holding it in front of him, the monster pushed him into the oasis and a large splash of water came. Fish swam away from him as he sank in low. He sheathed his blade and tried to swim back up, but his armor and blade made him sink. He began lose air and he lost consciousness.

Alleia made her way back to the campsite and saw a cat cart coming in with Lokee on it. She checked his pulse and saw that it was slightly slow. He was just unconscious though. She dragged him to the bed and let him rest. The cat cart was leaving, "Wait." Alleia called. The two felvine turned their heads and looked at her, "Where did you find him." She asked. "In the oasis where the cephradrome was." They both said in unison. She groaned as they left, "Idiot." Alleia looked over to him and shaking her head. She took a seat on the end of the bed and removed her torso armor to examine her shoulders. The wounds weren't severe, but they were open pretty wide. She poured a bit of potion in both the wounds and they began to seal up slowly. It burned as they sealed, but she knew it was the only way for it to heal. She clenched her knee and teeth, as the healing continued.
Lokee regained consciousness and looked up to see Alleia on the end of the bed. She was treating her wounds. He gave a slight cough to tell her he was awake.
Alleia whipped her head over to him in alert, "You pervert!" She strapped her armor on and kicked him in the nose with the heel of her boot. She hopped back and took out the light melting wail blade and pointed it at his neck, "Peep on me again and I'll kill you, got it?" Her voice was infuriated by his actions.
Lokee nodded as a trail of blood slid down from his nose. "I'm sorry." He said as he wiped the blood from his nose.

(Desert, Night 10:35, three days to finish the quest)
Alleia let out a sigh in front of the fire she made in the campsite. She cooked the meat she brought with her to a beautiful well-done. She began to season it correctly and there she had it. Looking over to Lokee; hearing his stomach grumble as he sat on the edge of the bed. "You really didn't come prepared did you?" She said to him.
"Not this time at least." Lokee said lowly; his stomach grumbled again but he covered his stomach with his arms.
Alleia sighed, walking over to him, and giving him the meat, "Here you're going to need it." She said walking back to her seat in front of the fire and putting a piece of raw meat over the flame and began rotating it so it would cook.
"Thank you." He said slightly shameful of not being able to fend for himself. "By the way... I didn't get your name."
"Its Alleia." She said and took the meat off the spit for a second to examine it, "Still needs cooking." She muttered to herself and set it back on the spit and rotating it.
"I'm Lokee." He said before he bit into the meat. As he chewed the meat he noticed how wonderful it tasted. "This is good." He said.
Alleia cared less how good the steak tasted, as long as it would fill her stomach. She learned to make it from her mother's recipe. It was nameless so it stayed. She looked into the fire seeing as it was going out slightly, she tossed in another stick and the embers stayed alive. She took the meat off the spit again and examined it, it was done. Soon Alleia began to season it and eat.

As Lokee finished he rubbed the back of his head. "So... how did you how did you become a hunter?" He asked.
"The same way any hunter becomes a hunter, registering." She replied. She took a deep bite of the steak and chewed it. Alleia didn't want to talk right now; she just wanted to eat then sleep. She had a long day and now he's just becoming a bother to her.

"Of course." He said with a chuckle. "I guess I did the same, but my master taught me how to use a large sword and learn about my surroundings and use everything to my advantage." He gave a small smile. "He was a great man, but he passed away not too long ago, so I became a Monster hunter to make him proud in his grave. To reach the highest of monster hunter ranks and be known as a true monster hunter.
Tears slid down from Alleia's cheek and glistened in the blue moonlight. She looked over to the well near the red chest.
"Something wrong?" Lokee asked.
"Its just that... I promised my father the same thing." She said sadly, "He's dead now." She said.
"I'm sorry..." Lokee replied, as he looked at her.

Alleia wiped the tears away and continued eating. She thought about the plesioth she was supposed to fight for today. "So much for that plesioth." She muttered to herself. She began to think about how she'd kill the cephradrome tomorrow morning. She looked over to Lokee, "You brought sonic bombs right?"
Lokee checked his inventory saw them there and nodded. "Yeah I have five." He laid back on the bed and let out a sigh. "Its been a long day. I'm going to get some shut eye." Lokee said as he crawled back onto the bed and crawled over to a side and close his eyes and feel asleep.
Alleia nodded and put out sat in front of the fire finishing off the steak. Once she was done she threw the bone into the fire and slowly it broke down and crumbled. She laid on the opposite side of the bed. She closed her eyes and rested her head on the back of her hand while her palm embraced the firm pillow. She began to think about a tactical plan for the cephradrome and slowly dozed off.

Lokee opened his eyes and stretched seeing as it was another day. He scooted himself to the to the edge of the bed and stood up. He saw that it was dawn and the sun was close to rising it was a perfect time since he ran out of cool drinks. He walked over to Alleia and gave her a small shake. "Alleia rise and shine, today we kill the cephradrome." He said softly not wanting to anger her.
Alleia opened her eyes and looked at Lokee through her hair. "Alright." She replied in a croaked tone. She got out of bed and stretched. "Okay lets go." She said and walked out of the campsite with him.

As they made their way to the large desert landscape near the campsite Lokee saw multiple fins out of the ground, but he noticed a larger tanned fin. "There it is!" Lokee exclaimed as pointed to it. The large fin turned their way and charged in.
"Its going to come out of the ground, split." She said and ran to one side.
Lokee rushed to the opposite side and the large cephradome burst from the ground. Lokee took out his ravager blade and gave a horizontal slash to the monster's leg. It tore a piece of it's scales off, but it wasn't even phased. The monster whipped it's tail around and Lokee brought up his sword to block the blow.
Alleia rolled under the large tail of the beast and charged in with her melting wail blades onto it's legs. Her blades crackled with every strike she took. She spun and slashed it's legs up. The monster howled and buckled lightly. "I have an idea!" She called to Lokee.
Lokee blocked the blow and fell back in the sand. "I'm all ears!" He replied. Charged in with his blade high and drove it down onto the cephradrome's right fin. It tore slightly, but didn't effect it much. The cephradrome turned to him and cocked it's head back and sand burst from it's mouth. Lokee rolled to the right dodging the sand by a split second.
"Okay, I'm going to need you to stall it for a while and when I so 'get out the way' do it. Got me?" She said as the cephradrome redirected his attention and came in to bite her, but caught her poison blade to the face. It began to cough and wheeze lightly. "Its poisoned." She said as she sheathed her blades and ran under it. "Stall it!" She called to him.
Lokee swung his blade in front of the cephradrome and gave a forward thrust to it's face. It backed up lightly and howled softly. He did an upward strike to it's head, but missed. The cephradrome cocked it's head back again and blasted sand from it's mouth. The sand impacted Lokee's chest plate and put a dent in it; he flew back from the heavy blow and fell on his back. A tough landing and he slid for two seconds. He did a kip up and lifted his blade from the ground and rushed back in. He rose is blade high and drove it down only to hit sand. The cephradrome walked closer to him and got ready to give him another sand blast.
"Get out of the way!" Alleia called and set down a shock trap. The cephradrome howled and began to shake lightly in paralyzed state. Alleia began to set down large barrel bombs and large barrel bombs+, "Concentrate and give it a heavy slash to the head and the bombs will ignite." She called to Lokee and ran to a safe enough distance.
"Got it!" He replied. Lokee brought his blade high and flexed his arm and gut muscles. Power began to flow through his body and he drove the ravager blade down heavily on the head of the cephradrome. The bombs exploded and the cephradrome flopped on its side and seconds after laid motionless.
Alleia walked over to Lokee and nodded to him, "Good work, you know how to take an order." She walked over to it and took out an extremely sharp dagger and began carving from it. "Not a bad hunter... you don't need to die from something as sad as a pond."
Lokee came over and began carving. "I'll take that as a compliment." He said with a small chuckle.

Alleia packed up her things, but kept out a pot and a wooden spoon. She placed a few bones with a bit of meat on them and took some of the cephradrome broth, a few herbs and spices and made soup. She got a fire going and placed the pot over it. "Breakfast?" She asked trying to be a bit considerate.
"What might it be?" Lokee asked sitting on the edge of the bed.
"A cephlos meat soup." She said. "I carved a cephlos and dropped in a few pieces of it's chest and scales. This mixture will help you with the sun so we can get out of here without the sun's painful rays." She explained beginning to stir the soup slowly. "Get a few bowls and a ladle." She said to him.
Lokee nodded and dug through his bag and took out a ladle and two bowls. He set them down next to her and leaned against the blue chest. "So what does it taste like?" He asked.
Alleia poured the soup into the bowl and gave him a broken off bone with fish attached to it. "See for yourself." She said reaching out and handing him a bowl.
He took a quick sip and tasted it. The flavors of the the sweet herbs and spicy herbs made it spicy and sweet in a perfect mixture. It tasted magnificent. "This is the best soup I've had in my life." He said happily.
She poured herself some and sipped it. "Sand shark soup... just like my mother would make it." She said to herself. The smell of the soup gave off a light scent of cephlos and it tasted great. She slowly continued to drink the soup until the bowl was empty.
Lokee continued sipping the soup and ate the fish off the broken bone. Once he finished he felt refreshed, "Could I have seconds?" He asked.
"Go for it I know I'm not going to finish this on my own." Alleia said and poured herself another bowl.
Lokee made his way over and poured himself another bowl and got another bone with fish on it and continued sipping the soup.

The pot was empty and Alleia put it back in her bag of things. "Lets get going." She said looking out to the sand on the cliff.
Lokee looked at her and lifted his bag of things onto his back. "Alright lets go." He said and they began to make their way back to town.
(To the town!!!)

Alleia rested on the bed and fell asleep; her things on the side of the bed where she lay.
Lokee sat in front of a fire with his gauntlets off. He let out a sigh and looked over to Alleia sleeping. He gave a small smile to her then turned back to the fire.

(Desert, Morning 2:10, Campsite, Three days to finish the quest)
Alleia opened her eyes and slid out the side of the bed. She rolled her neck slightly and a few pops came from it. She looked outside the tent and looked at Lokee leaning against his ravager blade with his gauntlets off. The fire was burning with the last of it's life. She tip-toed to the well and slid down the rope. "I'd best get this over with. as she made her way inside a cold embrace caught her skin and made a chill go up her spine. She got out a canteen of hot popo milk and a drank some. The warmth of it was sent throughout her body and she walked to the cavern lake and looked for the plesioth. It slowly arose from the water and swam slowly around the shoreline. Alleia backed up and threw out a sonic bomb. A few seconds the bomb trailed in the air before sending off a loud clang of metal on metal. The plesioth hopped out of the water in pain and looked at Alleia, as she took out her melting wail blades. It shot out of the water and onto the platform Alleia stood. She charged in and struck the plesioth with a heavy slash of both blades going down diagonally to the right. A puff of purple smoke arose and crackles of fire popped on the legs of the large water wyvern. The monster bought it's hip back and shot it forward and sent Alleia flying. She growled and flipped her blades upside down, stabbed them in the ground, and did a kip up holding onto them and pulling them out of the ground at the same time. She charged back in, but stopped as it cocked it's head back and a high pressured beam of water shot out of it's mouth. She rolled to the side avoiding it by a hair. She charged back in her blades at her sides and backwards, she was ready to kill. She spun to the side as it cocked it head back and shot out another high pressure beam of water.
She perfomed a spinning slash into it's side and rose her blades in the air. A demonic burst of power came over her and she began to slash the plesioth's legs wildly. It fell over on it's side, and flopped up and down. Alleia felt the demonic burst fade and she charged in with both blades and dug into it's side, pulling the blades apart vertically. The poison puffed and the fire popped on it's scales. The plesioth stood back up and whipped it's tail around multiple times. Alleia weaved around the first few, but the last whacked her and sent her flying to the cavern wall. She winced with pain, but stood up clenching her blades tightly. The plesioth went back into the water with a big splash and began swimming quickly back in forth in the water. Alleia put her blades away and applied a potion to her wounds and quickly the began to heal, but burned. She took the pain this time and threw out another sonic bomb.
