(After a long journey and a few days ahead, the GM finally arrives at Edomont, heart of Monster Island and home of the rich and powerful people. Only the best food, strong armors and weapons and the most beautiful women could be found in such city. The GM comes down of her carriage and walks the long stairs to an inner chamber. In the town, the most recognized hunters could be found, and among them reside "The Elite Four", G rank hunters of the highest caliber. GM enters the chamber and inside, 5 figures could be seen. They were seated around a circular table. The king, with his giant stature, nods and the room closes, outside, 2 hunters protect the chamber.)

(At the reunion of the summit, the GM sits.)

King: Everyone is here: Yukumo chiefs, Cathe, Drashea and Ardmery. Session begins! First, I am grateful for all of you to come here. I know you all have tight schedules, but a problem of imminent importance has come to us all. As you know, after an enormous earthquake, all monsters of the island had become bizarre in a way or another. Someone here care to explain why is that?

(Everyone remains silent and after a moment, the GM stands.)

GM: I may know the reason, or part of it.

Yukumo chief #1: As always, you seem to know the reason.

Yukumo chief #2: Your village is the root of all problems.

King: Silence! Procced, Ardmery chief.

GM: After some of my hunters went on a quest, they stumbled upon a ruin, which had some strange geoglyphs.

Cathe chief: And what about those geoglyphs?

GM: It seems...it tells the story of Monster Island...

Drashea chief: Not again with this nonsense! You know very well they are myths!

GM: They can be real! We don't know with exactitude from where or when we humans came here! And if what the geoglyphs says is true...

Yukumo twins: What? We may perish in the hands of some myth dragons? Bah!

King: I really doubt the legends to be true. If they were real, we could at least find some ancient bones or proof of their existence.

Cathe chief: But maybe...they hide themselves very good.

Drashea chief: Here we go again.

Cathe: I know I saw one of those blasted dragons! I know it is true!!!

Yukumo chief #1: Yeah yeah. And also, you saw the Akantor and Ukanlos waking up of their sleep.

Cathe chief: Look here young fella----

King: Enough! Until we have proof of such things, we will not divulge any of this to the people.

???: Maybe, I can help with that...

(I silent figure comes in from the shadows.)

Drashea chief: Mr. Stygma?! How long had you been hearing this!

Stygma: Sorry for intruding in such manner, but as a member of Moderno and a citizen of Monster Island, I'm very concerned with that problem.

(The GM stands with anger.)

GM: And what in hell are you doing in this meeting!?

King: I had allowed him. Ardmery chief, mind your manners!

(She sits and glares at him.)

Stygma: Since my arrival to this marvelous island, I had one vision only, to help it develop. Lower the mortal rates, increase the survival of the hunters and quest fulfilled, THAT, is my humble wish. And doing it, I already did. With my Exo-suits, I have achieved such things, you have seen all of that.

GM: Also, you had killed a lot of hunters along the way.

Stygma: I knew not all will see the progress I have done...Miss GM, I had NEVER used any methods that could kill a person. All the volunteers for my project are in healthy and upwards conditions. No one has died in the process. I have proof of that, and I invite all of you to read my articles if you wish. My project is even open to the public.

(He bows.)

Stygma: But with the matter in hand, I ask humbly the King, to lend me the most elite hunters and I will find if this... "myth" is real or not.

(He walks around the room.)

Stygma: I will get to the root of the problem and will give results right away. If there it is such a threat, I, Dr. Stygma will handle it with care.

GM: YOU WILL HARM THE CREATURES OF THE ISLAND AS YOU ARE DOING SINCE THE DAY YOU CAME!

King: Iris!!! You continue to shame me in front of a guest! Continue doing such behavior and I will expulse you from here and remove your title.

(She sits abruptly.)

Stygma: Not need to be so harsh, your Immenseness. I know, not all people are in good manners with what I do.

King: I will provide the hunters you need, alongside 1 hunter from each village.

GM: What?!

King: Each village will provide a hunter of good quality to do such task. Am I made myself clear?

(All chiefs nod in agreement.)

Stygma: Thank you, Your Highness.

(He bows, and only the GM could see the grin in his face. As all the people exited the chamber, the Cathe chief comes closer to the GM.)

Cathe Chief: I don't like at all that doctor. There are rumors in all the other villages.

(They began descending the long stairs.)

GM: Rumors of what?

Cathe chief: Hunters vanishing in quests, hideous monsters being made under Edomont...

(GM looks at him with worry eyes.)

Cathe chief: You worry about that lad Arya, right? She is indeed an excellent huntress, just like--

GM: Yes, just like him.

Cathe chief: Do not worry, I will come up with something. You arrive as fast as you can and prepare for what will happen. Something tells me, this island is approaching a time of darkness.
