Spits out a Rathalos armor plate stuck between his fangs.

The harsh lashes of winter’s winds wear on the stamina of beast and hunter alike, making all easier prey.

THE HUNT YET CONTINUES.

𝐍𝐄𝐑𝐆𝐈𝐆𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐄. Amaterasu Issun — glass, and it warps into something else entirely: a black hole ready to consume their body and souls. Good. Evil. Whatever it may be, Marionette wants it all. —; #FIGHTORFRIGHT!

𝔐𝚊𝚛𝚒𝚘𝚗𝚎𝚝𝚝𝚎. 𝐍𝐄𝐑𝐆𝐈𝐆𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐄. Issun -Amaterasu uttered a howl towards the heavens, a sign of her resolve to fight, before rushing forward towards the beast. #FIGHTORFRIGHT

Amaterasu 𝔐𝚊𝚛𝚒𝚘𝚗𝚎𝚝𝚝𝚎. 𝐍𝐄𝐑𝐆𝐈𝐆𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐄. -danger. “Wh-Whoa! Ack! Oh boy, we’re really doing this huh?!” He steadied himself upon her head and braced for what would assuredly be a tough and grueling battle. #FIGHTORFRIGHT

Feasting on the fresh corpse of an esteemed Elder Dragon, legacy little more than calories and worm food.

𝐍𝐄𝐑𝐆𝐈𝐆𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐄. Issun -massive dragon. All the while, she’d start steadily approaching again. If he’d try to assault her as she got close, then she wouldn’t make it easy for him. #FIGHTORFRIGHT

𝐍𝐄𝐑𝐆𝐈𝐆𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐄. Issun -left of the dragon. Leaping off towards her opponent she drew her thunder glaive and went for a diving slash at the beast’s hide, hoping that her sudden appearance would catch them off guard. #FIGHTORFRIGHT

𝐍𝐄𝐑𝐆𝐈𝐆𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐄. Issun -if all went well, she’d be drawn closer to both the dragon and that possible avenue of escape. However, it’s likely that this beast won’t let her go without a fight. Amaterasu would brace herself for whatever action her opponent took next… #FIGHTORFRIGHT

𝐍𝐄𝐑𝐆𝐈𝐆𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐄. Issun -aiming the tip of her blade outward, she was attempting to bash into the beast’s flank with enough force to knock him off-balance, perhaps even pierce that hardy hide. #FIGHTORFRIGHT

𝐍𝐄𝐑𝐆𝐈𝐆𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐄. Issun -her resolve, drying her fur almost instantly. With the distance between them once again at max, there was no other way to go but forward. Amaterasu steeled herself and dashed straight across the decrepit bridge, ready to face whatever was thrown at her #FIGHTORFRIGHT

Issun 𝐍𝐄𝐑𝐆𝐈𝐆𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐄. -sizable cherry bombs would plummet right towards Nergigante’s back, all about to cause an incredible explosion! #FIGHTORFRIGHT

𝐍𝐄𝐑𝐆𝐈𝐆𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐄. Issun -would be shot downward like a spring, as Ammy aimed to smash the dragon’s head on one of the many pieces of broken bridge below! #FIGHTORFRIGHT

…???

𝐍𝐄𝐑𝐆𝐈𝐆𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐄. Issun -was far from over… #FIGHTORFRIGHT

Pesky wounds finally closed. A new hunt can begin.

Stood atop a vantage, surveying an invasive visitor unto the land. Waiting and seeing if they were are a hunt worth his exertion.
