Sirene, who'd helped gather up the food for everyone, was in the middle of hand-feeding Ruva, who flung bubbles everywhere every bite he took. While waiting for the others to arrive she glanced at Moon, shyly waving at the monster from where she sat. She'd seen a nargacuga before, on a dark, very frightening night of camping, but this one seemed different, somehow.

Aramin joined others with Rado. She saw Sirene and smiled shyly. She waved to the other female of this group. She saw the Mizutsune and her smile got wider.
"What a beauty you are", she said to herself aloud. After realising that she blushed.Rado gave chuckle like sound.

Moon looked at Sirene and gave what looked like a smile. At that moment Luce walked into the area and Moon walked over to him. Luce kneeled down and started affectionately stroking Moon on the head. "Hey Moon," Luce said smiling, "I'm back, did you miss me?" Moon gave a Luce a small headbutt to the stomach and Luce laughed. Luce then looked around, looking for a familiar face. He spotted Sirene and started walking over toward her, Moon right behind him.

(whoops sorry I'm late)

Emil woke up, head pounding. Huh? Wh- where am I...? He looked around the room for anything he might recognize, or at least a sign of what might have happened before now to get him here. The only thing he found was an emerald green kinship stone. He reached for it, and, as soon as his hand met the stone, the memories came flooding back. He walked outside, unsure of what would happen next.

A rider approached Emil and waved him over. "Hey your just in time!" The stranger said, "dinner is at the chief's house tonight! That means something important is going to happen!" The rider told Emil, "not sure what... but, you should attend, especially because you'll wsnt to know how you ended up here..."

Sirene waved at Aramin, then Luce and Moon, making sure to give them both a friendly smile. She was really confused and still pretty uncomfortable at waking up in a strange place like this, but at least she had finally met other Riders! She was ecstatic at the chance to make friends, and hopefully learn how to be an even better Rider through her experiences with them. Ruva, who loved attention (though hated showing that he did) preened at Aramin's complement, shaking his scales and letting loose a flurry of iridescent bubbles that floated gently through the air.

Cheif Omna: "everybody take a seat! We have much to discuss during dinner! People of Hakum Village! Please serve our guests the best we have to offer!"
And witht hat started what seemed like an endless buffet. Well-cooked meat, scrambed golden egg, etc. Every food that you could imagine sat right in front of you. About mid-way through the meal the cheif cleared his throat.
"Many of you may not know how you ended up here, or why your here... to be honest, neither do we. A group of riders found all of you scattered around the forest of confusion. Each time the group reached you lightning would strike and a phantom beast would appear. It would tap each of your kinship stones before disappearing. We later found out that that monster was an elder beast, Kirin. It seems Kirin has chosen you in these harsh times... There have been accumulating incidents and reports of very dangerous and aggressive monsters. It's been reported that they destroy villages, kill hunters and riders alike, and habe this very noticible black auroa around them. We call this the black blight... this can and will spread to our kinship ores. When these ores are blighted all monsters that haven't formed kinship with riders are instantly blighted. But, be warned, your monsties can also be blighted, but the blight can be subdued with your kinship stones. You are the chosen ones, you and your monsties will save this world, such as the like of Radin and Lute before you. Chosen of Kirin, are you willing to take part in this quest? If you decide to do so, realize that there will be a very hard journy ahead of you... Are you still willing?"

Luce, shocked, stikl absorbing this information, nodded and whispered, "yes... I will take part in this mission... One of the Chosen of Kirin... What an honor..."

"Oh, great! Because I'm pretty confused..." Emil's stomach growled at the mention of dinner. "And hungry too!" He looked around, taking in his surroundings. Hakum Village? I think I've heard of it before... Hey, where's Bazel? Emil raised his hand as if he were at school, trying to address a teacher. "Hey, um... have you seen any... explode-y flying wyverns around here? He looks like a big pinecone, he's brownish colored, and loud..."

"Oh, black blight? That sounds evil... And wow, an elder dragon chose us?! That's really cool! Yeah, I'm in!"

Sirene paused eating, absorbing the news that Chief Omna had just told everyone. The whole 'monsters killing and rampaging because of a mysterious 'blight'- which by the way, can totally infect your beloved monsties too!' deal was terrifying to her, in all honesty. She was afraid...yet, she hadn't become a Rider and left her village just to avoid danger and stay safe. Being a Rider, and one chosen to help, meant that no matter how much she might want to, there's no way she could just abandon things and possibly let them get worse! She wiped a bit of grease away from her mouth and cleared her throat, preparing to speak up. "As A Rider, it's my duty to stand up and do something about this black blight stuff! I only have two questions," she paused, and held up the same number of fingers. "One, is there more information on this black blight besides the fact that it's super scary, yucky stuff? Two; what kinda monster is a Kirin? Oooh, actually, what's an elder beast? Is it a super important monster...?" She asked the last question with curiosity oozing from her expression and posture.

"I'd love to help..." Alexander replied. He pat Silver's head. He took a small amount of food for himself. "Save the food for your own village. Taking too much would be... Selfish." He grabbed 4 pork loin chops, 1 lobster, and a loaf of bread and shared with his Rathalos. "This should last me a few days."

Aramin felt scared. Something so dangerous that could affect her partner ? She gulped. There wouldn't be her without Rado... She smiled. If she could help she would do it. Well... Others wouldn't have to worry when they go on this adventure.
"Chosen One, huh? You can count me in", she said with determination in her voice.
She would do anything if only her wyvern would be safe. Only then she processed the other half.
"K-K-Kirin? Are you sure we were chosen by Kirin? Oh my god... Oh my god... A Kirin was near me... Oh my god... Now I can die happy", she started rambling.
When she looked at her companions she blushed.
"Sorry... I tend to ramble when it comes to monsties... I just love them", as if proving her point she hugged a happy Rado.

Cheif Omna: "Those are good questions, the black blight spreads like an infection, it can affect all monsters, and it can travel to kinship ores. When a monster is blighted, it turns a dark purple, and a black aura surrounds that monster. The monster will get more aggressive, and attack everything, not only will it attack living things, but anything in its way will be destroyed, unless... shall we say... it is... defeated... monsties are a little more resilent, but if scratched by a blighted monster ill be blighted as well. Because the monstie is more resilent though, it will slowly spread, rather than take control amlost immediatly. Within that time you should be able to subdue the blight with your kinship stone. When an ore is blighted, all monsters within the vicinity of it will be instantly blighted. Thankfully, there are usually not many but you will know a kinship ore is blighted when it turns a dark purple color, and does not shine as radiantly as before. The only way to cure these are with your kinship stones. To answer your second question, now much is known about elder dragons around here. If you wish to do so, you can go to Gildegaran. In the city of the Hunter's Guild, you can meet up with Captain Simone, leader of the Scriveners, in Gildegaran. When you are ready, you may leave this village, and head over there, as they have more information then I."
