[Ancestral Steppes - Everwood Border]<br/><br/>The Seltas went still above her for a moment, as though confused.  Before it had been doing it's level best to keep her trapped and figure out some way to finish her off but now it was...  Stopped?<br/><br/>Not entirely stopped...  Its abdomen was shifting between her legs, rocking and prodding, the hard edges of it's carapace scraping against her skin, and the huntress could feel something thick and slimy on her thigh, shifting, stiffening...<br/><br/>Then the insectoid monster seemed to make up it's mind, and Sonya found herself suddenly subjected to action again as the Seltas pulled it's abdomen back slightly and that slick stiffness was suddenly jammed against her womanhood, pushing in utter ignorance of the barrier her panties represented or the fact that the huntress had her sword just at her fingertips.  The Seltas had clearly realized that she was not only female but worth mating with.<br/><br/><br/>[The Port City of Val Habar - Kaze]<br/><br/>Kaze had a few 'Local' hunting grounds to choose from, with the Steppes and the Primal Forest grounds both within a brief caravan ride of the city.  They were both relatively safe from major threats, but well populated by minor monsters, and no hunter would go out without their weapon to either of them, and the occasional wandering larger monster could come across even the safest locations if one was not careful...<br/><br/>Eventually, he settled on the Primal Forests, and it wasn't long before he found plenty to explore.  There were Kelbi in the area though the herds were skittish in his presence and often fled when things got too noisy, making it difficult to even knock them out to cut off their horns, let alone kill them.  Even without those however there were plenty of mushrooms and herbs to collect, and even those not useful to the guild could be useful to Kaze for making various tools and potions for hunting.<br/><br/>However, all was not necessarily well...  As Kaze wandered one of the shallow enclosed pools common to the area, he caught sight of footprints, humanoid, but clawed...  A female wyvern of some sort most likely, though he was not precisely sure what kind, it was not likely to be one he had encountered before given that though...
