Antar stands on the side of the road watching his mentor, the man who turned him into the monster hunter he is, pass by in a funeral barge. How can he go forwards without the old man's sage advice?
Fortunately for Antar, his mentor already planned that out. Hours after the funeral Antar is told he's to prepare for the Shadow Taming within the Ziggurat of the Celestial Hunt.
If he succeeds, will have one of the sacred elderbeasts as his new adviser.
If he fails... well he'll just be another meal to sustain their endless hunger.
