The three of them leave the village gates. "We're actually going out," says Kate, looking worried. Kaid nudges her and says, "Relax, it'll be fine." Kaito is so excited, he's literally shaking.
They continue forward and they see the trees around them becoming less frequent. After about twenty or so minutes of walking, they exit the forest for the first time ever.
The three of them sit in shock at what they see. "It's empty?" Kaid questions. For a while all they see in the distance is just open field. Nothing too special, but too them who've never seen anything like it. It was amazing.
Kaito sprints into the field and looks around at how many beasts they can see. From common ones like Bull sheeps, to Wolves, and dino chickens.
Kate hops onto Snowball's back and they walk through the field. "The sun seems different from out here." Kate says peacefully as she takes it all in. "I thought it'd look different out here." Kaid says. He then turns and laughs. "I told you guys mom was overreacting." He says.
"Now, Let's find that monster." Kaid says as he leads the way. Kaito is barely paying attention as he looks around in wonder at everything. The three of them climb up a nearby hill to get a better look at their surroundings.
Kaito rolls down the hill and runs back up while he waits for his siblings to find something. Kaid looks around. Before long he spots something. "That one will do great." He says.
The monster is a giant praying mantis with the standard two arms, but it is 3 meters (10ft)
Before Kaito can roll down the hill again Kaid picks him up by his collar. "We're hunting that one." He tells Kaito, and Kaito gives a thumbs up.
Kaid kneels down. "Alright guys plan time. This monster seems to be kind of strong, so we need a plan." Kaid says to them. Kate and Snowball nod. "The plan is, i'll lead since i have the best offense, Snowball and Kate come in behind and help the flank, and Kaito-" Kaid stops and looks around. "Kaito?" Kaid questions. Kate points in the direction of the monster. "He ran in the second you told him we were after it." Kate says.
Kaid shakes his head while laughing. "What an idiot." He says amused.
Kaito charges in at the monster with his sword drawn. The giant mantis swipes at Kaito, he quickly slides under the attack and slices at it's arm. He cuts it, but the cut is shallow. "Need to hit it harder!" Kaito yells.
He uses fire magic, and he shoots three quick blasts at it. The mantis seems to move faster as it swings it's razor like claw at him. Kaito is caught off guard but he manages to block the blow, but it sends him.
Kaid catches him. "Having fun?" Kaid asks him. "I was handling it." Kaito says back.
Kate rides Snowball into battle. Snowball charges a blast and shoots it from his mouth. The mantis jumps out of the way to dodge, but Kaid with surprising strength throws it back into the blast. Kaito runs in and he cuts the beasts leg.
All the combined attacking causes it to fall over. Kaid runs over to behead the monster. He swings his blade but Kaito blocks his attack. "Dude, what're you doing!" Kaid yells at him. The mantis gets up and runs away. "I would've had it!" Kaid yells.
Kaito shakes his head. "We don't have a reason to kill it." Kaito says. "Bro what, Are you stupid?" Kaid says back.
They're interrupted by what sounded like a scream from another person. They climb a rather tall hill and at the top they find a town of people getting raided.
