00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:05,960
Speaker 1: This episode contains adult language theme party the podcast episode

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:09,000
six Monsterfucker Part two by Jada Mendoza.

3
00:00:10,279 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 2: My mother left the tavern that same morning with nothing

4
00:00:13,519 --> 00:00:16,399
in her pack or pockets beside some water in her

5
00:00:16,399 --> 00:00:20,839
canteen and her trusty boot dagger. Despite this, she was

6
00:00:20,879 --> 00:00:24,079
determined to keep going. Little did she know that the

7
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:27,480
assassin mister Stabbington had just missed her.

8
00:00:27,559 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 3: You mean, sir Stabbington.

9
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:33,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, details details. Following the lead from the unsavory

10
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:38,039
taverns barkeep, Trevor Stabbington found himself at a small settlement

11
00:00:38,119 --> 00:00:42,560
within the woods. There he successfully tracked down Earnest Goodman,

12
00:00:42,759 --> 00:00:45,240
the guy who seduced your mom, the thief who seduced

13
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:50,399
my mom. Details details anyway, Stabbington confronted Ernest about the

14
00:00:50,439 --> 00:00:52,280
possible whereabouts of my mother.

15
00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 4: Sorry, we're closed for the day. Sun's going down.

16
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 5: Oh I'm not here for anything.

17
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:03,479
Speaker 6: You've got a show.

18
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 4: You'll be useful to me in other ways. Hmmm. That

19
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:13,120
kind of thing will cost you. But you're not bad looking,

20
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:17,400
so if you can persuade me, I'll cut the price. No,

21
00:01:17,519 --> 00:01:18,840
I'm not asking for that.

22
00:01:20,879 --> 00:01:24,799
Speaker 6: Don't come here, come.

23
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:28,439
Speaker 4: Very handsy, What do.

24
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 5: You know about Gemma Foshika, Oh her.

25
00:01:33,439 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 4: I mean, she didn't put me to sleep, but I've

26
00:01:36,599 --> 00:01:37,159
had better.

27
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 5: You know, I'm not asking about bad stuff.

28
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:47,599
Speaker 4: Bad stuff. You're not ten years old, by the realm.

29
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 6: Whyever, where did she go?

30
00:01:51,079 --> 00:01:53,879
Speaker 4: I don't know. All I did was take her crossbow,

31
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,480
which sold for a pretty penny.

32
00:02:01,319 --> 00:02:04,879
Speaker 7: So you truly don't know where she went.

33
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,359
Speaker 4: All she told me was that she was hunting a

34
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:11,479
young demon folk guy looking for her daughter. Apparently they

35
00:02:11,599 --> 00:02:15,800
ran away together or something. Ah, that's nothing to go on,

36
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:23,639
m Since you're kind of cute despite your demeanor, I'll

37
00:02:23,719 --> 00:02:27,240
let you in on a little secret. There's a popular

38
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,560
hunting spot for demon folk not too far from here.

39
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,520
I wouldn't be surprised if that's where she was headed. Next,

40
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:39,680
I can point you in the right direction for a prize. Uh,

41
00:02:40,439 --> 00:02:43,680
you're sure on my parents' graves.

42
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 2: I kind of ship them, Fiona.

43
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,759
Speaker 8: What they're kind of made for each other, two rogues

44
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:52,919
led astray by their graying morals.

45
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:54,439
Speaker 3: Maybe they'd be good for each other.

46
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,199
Speaker 9: That's not what this story's about.

47
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,639
Speaker 3: Whatever anyway you were saying.

48
00:02:59,159 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 2: My mother continued through the vast woods, using as much

49
00:03:02,199 --> 00:03:05,680
tracking knowledge as she could remember. But as we've said before,

50
00:03:05,879 --> 00:03:09,000
the vast woods are not easy to navigate. Deep in

51
00:03:09,039 --> 00:03:11,560
the thick of the forest, it's hard to remember where

52
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:15,960
you've already gone. For Gemma, especially while thirsty and starving,

53
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,639
she was desperate for a miracle and may have found one.

54
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,520
A young demon appeared through the brush with a giant

55
00:03:24,599 --> 00:03:25,719
satchel at their hip.

56
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 7: Ooh yeah, Hugh.

57
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 2: Sour foot edible. My mother looked on at this scene

58
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:47,039
with incredible envy. She had never felt so thirsty in

59
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,199
her life, but she thought that in her moment of desperation,

60
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,120
she could get everything she needed at the expense of

61
00:03:53,159 --> 00:03:54,360
this demon folk kid.

62
00:03:55,199 --> 00:03:57,319
Speaker 3: And did she Wow?

63
00:03:58,439 --> 00:04:03,439
Speaker 1: Hey, since just me Sorry, there have been way too

64
00:04:03,439 --> 00:04:06,240
many fleshmongers around Lee Lee's so I can't help it.

65
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,159
Speaker 7: That invisibility would be a lot more useful if you

66
00:04:09,199 --> 00:04:09,840
could control it.

67
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 5: Hey, what's that?

68
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,479
Speaker 3: Oh it's nothing.

69
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 7: What in the realm is this? Have you been running

70
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,160
off from the hunt to doodle pictures again?

71
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 3: I'm I'm studying them.

72
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:36,079
Speaker 7: You're supposed to be a hunter. You hunt. I don't

73
00:04:36,079 --> 00:04:39,360
know why you're so interested in leaves and berries.

74
00:04:39,519 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 5: I'm no good at hunting stuff.

75
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:48,319
Speaker 7: Well, maybe if you practiced, then you'd be better at it. Oh,

76
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,959
I thought you would grow out of this. You're an

77
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:58,399
embarrassment to the rest of the klan. Get your gear

78
00:04:58,439 --> 00:05:01,160
out and hurry up. Well, the rest of us will

79
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:01,920
leave you behind.

80
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 2: Gemma, who was hiding in the bushes waiting for the

81
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,639
right time to ambush this demon kid, started to become

82
00:05:09,759 --> 00:05:13,879
uncomfortable at the demon folks conversation. It reminded her of

83
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:18,360
many interactions that she had previously with me. She started

84
00:05:18,399 --> 00:05:21,879
shifting her feet where she stood and accidentally snapped a

85
00:05:21,959 --> 00:05:26,920
small twig, which perked the young demon's ear. Shit, who's there?

86
00:05:27,439 --> 00:05:30,639
The two caught eyes, Gemma hiding in the dark shade

87
00:05:30,639 --> 00:05:33,519
of the forest, and the demon kid staring back at her,

88
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:38,720
not knowing what to do. Suddenly, a poison tipped arrow

89
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,720
shot into the flesh of Gemma's right arm. The impact

90
00:05:41,759 --> 00:05:44,079
of the hit caused her to drop to her knees.

91
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:52,319
The poison worked fast, invading her bloodstream. Fucking in a

92
00:05:52,399 --> 00:05:55,839
nearby tree, a stealthy assassin was perched on a branch.

93
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,759
Speaker 9: He shouldered his bow and leapt to the ground.

94
00:06:00,399 --> 00:06:02,319
Speaker 6: Hie me, it.

95
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:09,079
Speaker 4: Took me ages to track you down. A royal gift

96
00:06:09,439 --> 00:06:11,839
for her wretchedness.

97
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,079
Speaker 2: But just as he pressed the blade of his knife

98
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:20,879
to Jemma's throat, Flushmonger, it's a fleshmonger. Demon Kids shouted

99
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,079
to the rest of his hunting group, and they all

100
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:23,839
came running.

101
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 6: Nah fucking monsters.

102
00:06:28,639 --> 00:06:31,399
Speaker 2: Before the rest of the demon kid's hunting group arrived,

103
00:06:31,519 --> 00:06:35,040
he crouched over Gemma and turned invisible, concealing them both.

104
00:06:36,519 --> 00:06:39,639
Speaker 5: Where did they go? Maybe borg Naff chased after the fleshmonger.

105
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 7: I hope you're right.

106
00:06:45,079 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 5: They can't be far.

107
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:48,399
Speaker 7: I can still smell fleshmonger.

108
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:49,399
Speaker 8: There.

109
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,319
Speaker 4: Movement in the trees thirty feet northeast.

110
00:06:52,519 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 6: But move.

111
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:01,079
Speaker 7: Why?

112
00:07:02,519 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 1: Why did you save me?

113
00:07:04,519 --> 00:07:04,959
Speaker 8: I don't know.

114
00:07:05,639 --> 00:07:07,519
Speaker 10: It felt like the right thing to do.

115
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:08,519
Speaker 1: Thank you.

116
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 5: I wish there was break too.

117
00:07:12,759 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: I don't know.

118
00:07:14,839 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 9: Sorry.

119
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,079
Speaker 2: As my mother knocked out from the poison, she began

120
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:28,879
to hallucinate. The interaction between the demon folk had reminded

121
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,920
her of one of many moments in my childhood.

122
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: What why the realm Amelia.

123
00:07:37,319 --> 00:07:38,839
Speaker 2: I'm trying my best.

124
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,279
Speaker 5: It's not that easy.

125
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:42,879
Speaker 9: I've been doing this far.

126
00:07:43,639 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: This shouldn't be this hard at your age. I was

127
00:07:46,279 --> 00:07:51,199
doing this when I was ten years old. Don't cry.

128
00:07:51,759 --> 00:07:53,920
We wouldn't be out here for hours if you spend

129
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,879
more time practicing instead of reading all those damn books.

130
00:07:57,879 --> 00:08:00,639
Speaker 2: Reading is easier than doing any of this.

131
00:08:01,279 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: Excuse me, hey, bar seekers, do not back talk. All right,

132
00:08:05,839 --> 00:08:11,399
show some respect. Ugh, I can't watch this. You're an embarrassment.

133
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:16,720
Keep practicing. I'll be back later. Hopefully you'll be better

134
00:08:16,759 --> 00:08:20,959
by then. You're meant to be a monster hunter, Amelia.

135
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:25,519
It's in our blood. You'll come to your senses eventually.

136
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 2: Wait, but this isn't how she dies, right, Oh, someone's

137
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:38,960
invested now, I see well. I mean she's finally realizing

138
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:42,919
her past wrongs toward you. Wow, judge, jury and executioner

139
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:44,159
much Just keep going?

140
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,759
Speaker 9: All right? Let's see where was I?

141
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 8: Your mom realizing the error of her ways, is about

142
00:08:51,399 --> 00:08:53,200
to die alone in the vast.

143
00:08:52,919 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 2: Woods until someone comes to her rescue.

144
00:08:56,399 --> 00:08:58,399
Speaker 3: Based on the way you said that, I feel like

145
00:08:58,519 --> 00:09:00,519
I already know who the sum one is.

146
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:06,879
Speaker 1: Oh, who's there?

147
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 5: I was wondering if you would wake up. Let me

148
00:09:11,799 --> 00:09:16,120
go relax. You aren't even restrained. If you want to

149
00:09:16,159 --> 00:09:17,679
get up, be slow about it.

150
00:09:22,919 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 1: Hey, my boots are my knife? Where's my knife?

151
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:34,039
Speaker 5: You mean this that's a good knife, great for stripping bark.

152
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:39,399
I'm surprised this is the only thing on you right now, considering.

153
00:09:39,159 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 1: Who you are. What were you expecting.

154
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,519
Speaker 5: I've heard the stories. I just figured you'd be more

155
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,399
equipped to hunt a monster.

156
00:09:48,039 --> 00:09:54,559
Speaker 1: Actually, I got robbed. I slept with some young thief

157
00:09:54,639 --> 00:09:56,120
and he nabbed all my stuff.

158
00:09:56,639 --> 00:09:59,519
Speaker 5: And demon folk are the only ones you shouldn't trust.

159
00:09:59,639 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 4: Huh.

160
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 9: That's what I was taught.

161
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,559
Speaker 1: And now I'm starting to have second thoughts.

162
00:10:07,039 --> 00:10:11,279
Speaker 5: Here, wait a second, what is that? Calm down? It's medicine.

163
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:13,840
You should still be feeling the effects of the poison.

164
00:10:14,399 --> 00:10:19,600
It's just a standard antidote. And anyway, if I wanted

165
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,519
to kill you, I surely wouldn't be doing it while

166
00:10:22,519 --> 00:10:32,720
you were already conscious. Okay, ugh, ugh, I know it's gross,

167
00:10:32,759 --> 00:10:35,320
but you should be feeling better in a moment. Now,

168
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:36,960
let me ow.

169
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 1: What are you trying to do now?

170
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:40,919
Speaker 5: It bandaged you up while you were sleeping. I'm just

171
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,279
checking your wounds. It wouldn't kill you to cooperate a

172
00:10:43,279 --> 00:10:50,600
little mine, Well, is it bad? With enough time and

173
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,559
proper care, it should heal. But you shouldn't try to

174
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,960
do anything reckless with this arm if you could manage it.

175
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,600
Amelia was right about you.

176
00:11:00,639 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, she was right about you too, about me,

177
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,360
and all her letters to me, she just went on

178
00:11:08,799 --> 00:11:13,080
and on about this boy that she met, how smart

179
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,720
and kind and brave he was.

180
00:11:16,159 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 5: Oh I don't know about brave.

181
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,919
Speaker 1: I was coming to kill you. It takes a lot

182
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:25,720
of guts to nurse me back to health. Or maybe

183
00:11:25,759 --> 00:11:29,000
Amelia was wrong, and you're just so stupid. You somehow

184
00:11:29,039 --> 00:11:29,840
seem smart.

185
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:35,399
Speaker 5: Maybe Actually, I think everyone from my clan would say

186
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,720
the same thing, what do you mean? Back home? I

187
00:11:38,799 --> 00:11:42,120
was already an outcast because I could shape shift, and

188
00:11:42,159 --> 00:11:44,039
it got even worse because I didn't want to be

189
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:47,279
a normal healer. I wanted to study the medicines we'd

190
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:51,440
been using for generations and hopefully help other people using

191
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:52,360
the knowledge I had.

192
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 1: So you decided to leave.

193
00:11:54,799 --> 00:11:58,399
Speaker 5: Kind of education I desperately wanted was in the capital.

194
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:04,279
Realized that if I disguised myself, I could get everything

195
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:08,840
that I wanted. The only problem was that I couldn't

196
00:12:08,879 --> 00:12:12,399
be the human version of me for long periods of time.

197
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:18,519
Amelia was in every one of my classes, and she

198
00:12:18,919 --> 00:12:23,639
eventually figured me out. I thought she would be disgusted

199
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:29,960
and report me, but she didn't. She gave me the

200
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,559
space to be myself.

201
00:12:32,279 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 1: And then things took off from there.

202
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:41,879
Speaker 5: Huh, Amelia, She's everything to me. When I feel self

203
00:12:41,879 --> 00:12:46,919
conscious about anything, she's quick to encourage me. Her passion

204
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,480
is contagious, and she's never made me feel like I

205
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:55,039
didn't matter. She speaks her mind and allows me to

206
00:12:55,039 --> 00:12:55,559
do the same.

207
00:12:55,759 --> 00:12:58,879
Speaker 1: She wasn't always like that, you know, at least not

208
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:03,360
with me. She has more determination now than when she

209
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:03,960
was a kid.

210
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,039
Speaker 5: She told me about the monster.

211
00:13:05,759 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 1: Hunter training, probably not nice things.

212
00:13:09,759 --> 00:13:10,679
Speaker 5: To be quite honest.

213
00:13:10,879 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 1: No, yeah, I don't think I treated her rite either,

214
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,919
but that was just the way I was taught. Bar

215
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,799
seekers are supposed to be monster hunters. I was never

216
00:13:25,879 --> 00:13:30,480
given another option, and honestly, I didn't go looking for

217
00:13:30,519 --> 00:13:34,600
anything else either, even when I was treated harshly during

218
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:36,159
training by my mom and dad.

219
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 5: Your parents treating you badly doesn't give you the right

220
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:41,399
to treat your daughter the same way.

221
00:13:41,519 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 8: I know.

222
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 5: We're leaving. Once you finish the rest of that potion,

223
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:55,799
where are we going? You'll see you stopped being cryptic

224
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:59,039
and just tell me where we're going. We're almost there,

225
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:00,519
I think.

226
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,639
Speaker 1: It's customary for you to make a patient walk a

227
00:14:02,799 --> 00:14:05,360
mile after just waking up from being unconscious.

228
00:14:05,399 --> 00:14:07,759
Speaker 5: Sh stop where you are?

229
00:14:08,399 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 9: What is it now?

230
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,639
Speaker 5: Stay on this side of the bush and don't come

231
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,320
out until I come and get you. Okay, what.

232
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,639
Speaker 2: So, by the realm, I almost shot you.

233
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 9: Where have you been?

234
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,279
Speaker 2: You've been gone this entire morning. I was so worried.

235
00:14:25,279 --> 00:14:27,879
I've been sitting here with the crossbow. I thought something

236
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:29,799
happened Amelia.

237
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:30,919
Speaker 1: With a crossbowl.

238
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 5: I was just uh. I got stuck gathering herbs and Amelia,

239
00:14:38,159 --> 00:14:41,679
for fuck's sake, put the fuck Amelia. Wait. Let me

240
00:14:41,879 --> 00:14:43,320
just say, get away from her.

241
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 1: What are you doing, Amelia? Let me explain.

242
00:14:46,799 --> 00:14:48,559
Speaker 9: Stop or I'll shoot. I'm serious.

243
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:50,799
Speaker 5: Whoa wait a second.

244
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 1: Please, Amelia, just listen to me.

245
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 9: I told you not to follow us.

246
00:14:54,559 --> 00:14:54,879
Speaker 4: Millie.

247
00:14:55,279 --> 00:14:57,679
Speaker 5: Put the crossbow down, please.

248
00:14:57,799 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 9: I'm not putting the crossbow down. Get behind. You're in

249
00:15:00,559 --> 00:15:01,399
danger right now.

250
00:15:01,519 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 1: Where did you get the crossbow?

251
00:15:03,759 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 2: It was being sold in the closest village. Lots of

252
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,879
bad looking guys were really salivating over it.

253
00:15:08,879 --> 00:15:11,799
Speaker 1: And you bought it. I thought you hated that thing.

254
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 2: I do hate this thing, but for some reason I

255
00:15:14,399 --> 00:15:17,240
couldn't let it be snatched up by some random mercenary.

256
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,159
At least it'll serve as poetic justice to kill you

257
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:20,559
with it.

258
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:23,679
Speaker 5: No one is killing anyone, got it? Soul?

259
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 4: Move?

260
00:15:24,559 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 2: Why are you defending Amelia?

261
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 1: Please? Can we just talk?

262
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:28,399
Speaker 4: Oh?

263
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 9: So you want to talk?

264
00:15:30,679 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 2: After all these years of running your mouth at me, Amelia,

265
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:37,240
put those stupid books down and focus on your training. Amelia,

266
00:15:37,279 --> 00:15:39,960
you're not good enough, Amelia. You're an embarrassment to the

267
00:15:40,039 --> 00:15:44,080
Parsager name. That was how it was every day for years.

268
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,039
I carried it all around on my back. And for what,

269
00:15:47,679 --> 00:15:50,159
I don't need any of that. I don't need you.

270
00:15:50,559 --> 00:15:52,919
I told you to leave us alone, and look you're

271
00:15:53,039 --> 00:15:56,840
still here. So I'm finally taking matters into my own hands.

272
00:15:57,159 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 5: Millie. Please calm down.

273
00:15:59,559 --> 00:16:02,279
Speaker 1: Move so you're not gonna shoot me.

274
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 9: You doubt your years of training?

275
00:16:04,399 --> 00:16:04,639
Speaker 5: Mother?

276
00:16:05,399 --> 00:16:08,679
Speaker 1: Listen, I'm sorry, all right, I'm sorry I treated you

277
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,000
that way. I know that that was wrong of me,

278
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:14,240
but can you really blame me? I spent my whole

279
00:16:14,279 --> 00:16:16,440
life thinking that the only way a four Seeker could

280
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,879
live was to be a monster hunter. That's what I

281
00:16:18,879 --> 00:16:23,159
thought success meant. I wanted you to be successful. I

282
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:26,159
wanted you to have a better life than me, to

283
00:16:26,279 --> 00:16:30,159
make better choices and be able to protect yourself. Can

284
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:31,960
you blame me for wanting that for you?

285
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 5: Amelia? Put the crossbow down?

286
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 2: Please.

287
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 1: I know that probably wasn't the apology you were looking for,

288
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:47,720
but I understand now that you deserve to live the

289
00:16:47,759 --> 00:16:48,799
life you want to live.

290
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 5: Ah just die already.

291
00:16:53,039 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 9: Ah my shut no, it wasn't.

292
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 2: I meant to kill him.

293
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,759
Speaker 5: So what do we do now?

294
00:17:04,079 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 9: Who sent you?

295
00:17:04,599 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 6: You'll never get alcohol?

296
00:17:07,759 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 5: Tell me who Oka?

297
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:11,519
Speaker 7: Kingbas Striker, King bays Striker.

298
00:17:12,799 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 3: Wait, so then what happened?

299
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,079
Speaker 2: Well, my mother explained to me why she had an

300
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:22,599
assassin after her. She also explained that technically I was

301
00:17:22,599 --> 00:17:26,440
a direct descendant of King b Striker, that bastard.

302
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 3: And how did you take that?

303
00:17:28,599 --> 00:17:31,039
Speaker 2: I was angry that she hadn't told me about it before,

304
00:17:31,759 --> 00:17:33,880
But at the same time, how could she relay that

305
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,599
to me without sounding like a maniac? When he wasn't

306
00:17:36,599 --> 00:17:37,960
in correspondence with her?

307
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:40,839
Speaker 3: Right? He never responded to her letters?

308
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:43,440
Speaker 9: And so we went to the Capitol.

309
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:47,400
Speaker 8: But how aren't you guys on the outskirts of the

310
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:48,119
vast woods?

311
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 3: How did you get back so fast?

312
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:54,039
Speaker 2: Fiona, dear you must be forgetting that your mother graduated

313
00:17:54,079 --> 00:17:58,079
from Cresclade School for the Practical arcane with every academic

314
00:17:58,160 --> 00:17:59,240
accolade they offer.

315
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:05,599
Speaker 1: Are you sure this plan is going to work?

316
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:06,640
Speaker 9: That's what we hope.

317
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 5: Anyway, you really shouldn't be worried about Amelia. She knows

318
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,880
her way around a teleportation portal.

319
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:16,079
Speaker 1: This is what you learned in school.

320
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 9: Watch and learn, mother dearest, what's going on?

321
00:18:31,319 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 2: Pardon the intrusion, your majesty, or should I say father?

322
00:18:38,599 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 6: Who are you to call me that?

323
00:18:40,839 --> 00:18:43,160
Speaker 1: I told you she'd figure it out one way or another?

324
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:46,279
Speaker 6: By the realm, where did you all come from?

325
00:18:46,799 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 1: End?

326
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,119
Speaker 6: Goodness? A monster? Jeeves, it goes.

327
00:18:50,319 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 2: I wouldn't call for anyone if I were you. Why

328
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,720
did you just do a spell that blocks out all

329
00:18:57,839 --> 00:19:00,880
sound from every known entrance in the room. I've also

330
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,599
locked the doors now that no one will disturb us.

331
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:05,359
I'm here to claim my inheritance.

332
00:19:05,839 --> 00:19:08,759
Speaker 6: And what gives you that right?

333
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 1: How hurtful?

334
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 2: I'm your flesh and blood, after all? Isn't that why

335
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,359
you sent an assassin after my mother so you could

336
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:18,200
come to a poor orphan girl's rescue and keep all

337
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:19,799
your royal wealth in the family.

338
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:21,519
Speaker 6: Sounds like a great plan to me.

339
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:28,039
Speaker 5: I mean not really. Amelia's twenty two years old, hardly

340
00:19:28,079 --> 00:19:30,200
an orphan girl needing to be saved.

341
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 6: Well, someone take care of this well spoken monster, Gemma.

342
00:19:36,799 --> 00:19:37,799
Isn't that your job?

343
00:19:37,839 --> 00:19:38,160
Speaker 5: Come on?

344
00:19:38,279 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 1: Get them you, of all people, do not tell me

345
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:45,000
what to do, and starting today, I don't hunt demon

346
00:19:45,039 --> 00:19:46,480
folk anymore for the record.

347
00:19:46,759 --> 00:19:48,440
Speaker 6: Ooh, and what's this?

348
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:53,880
Speaker 10: No, honey, don't honey me, you adulterous pig. I'm so

349
00:19:54,079 --> 00:19:57,559
sick of your illegitimate relations. You've taken advantage of this

350
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,440
marriage for the last time. How did she get in

351
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,880
your capable daughter's spell? Blocked sound coming out of all

352
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,799
known entrances and exits. She did not know about this

353
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:12,000
little side passage, Your majesty. I it's all right. We

354
00:20:12,079 --> 00:20:13,640
can't change the past, now, can we?

355
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:15,440
Speaker 2: But we can change the future.

356
00:20:16,799 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 10: Is that what you intend to do, young lady?

357
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,640
Speaker 2: Please, your majesty. I want a realm where everyone can

358
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,079
stand as equals and we can be free to love

359
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:26,319
whoever we choose.

360
00:20:26,799 --> 00:20:29,039
Speaker 10: Well, all that will have to come at a price.

361
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,240
As it stands, our laws claim that only a direct

362
00:20:32,319 --> 00:20:34,440
royal descendant can claim the throne.

363
00:20:34,319 --> 00:20:36,680
Speaker 5: But Emilia is a direct descendant.

364
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:40,400
Speaker 10: She is a direct descendant of the king. Yes, but

365
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:44,119
not to me. However, if you're willing to start over,

366
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,960
we can come up with a story of long lost

367
00:20:48,039 --> 00:20:52,079
offspring or something. It's not like we haven't done such

368
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,559
a thing before, but you will have to forego your

369
00:20:55,599 --> 00:20:58,640
far seeker name. Is that something you're willing to do?

370
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 1: Amelia? It's okay, mom, what are you talking about? Isn't

371
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,079
this what you told me you wanted in your letter?

372
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:13,640
To start over? You can get everything you want, Mom,

373
00:21:14,599 --> 00:21:18,119
I it's okay. If you want to leave me behind,

374
00:21:18,279 --> 00:21:21,480
I'm okay with it. This can be how it ends.

375
00:21:22,519 --> 00:21:26,400
Speaker 10: Well, your spell's about to wear off. What's your choice?

376
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 2: This isn't right?

377
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 10: What isn't right?

378
00:21:29,559 --> 00:21:32,559
Speaker 2: I just find it odd that two rulers of our kingdom,

379
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,640
who have time and again advocated for the wellness of

380
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:39,920
specifically human citizens, feel that it's perfectly normal to send

381
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:43,119
a skilled assassin after the most important monster hunter of

382
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:44,359
the Great Creature War.

383
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 5: Even I know that it's political suicide to send an

384
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:52,480
assassin after the legendary hero that vanquished Magtha Meth, the

385
00:21:52,599 --> 00:21:53,759
evil demon King.

386
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 10: And what proof do you have of that?

387
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:59,759
Speaker 5: We literally have your assassin bound and gagged on your

388
00:21:59,799 --> 00:22:00,680
cassle floor.

389
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 4: I was your died before I got here.

390
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,839
Speaker 2: Now, if word were to I don't know, spread amongst

391
00:22:07,839 --> 00:22:11,119
the common folk, who view you, especially Queen Bee Strikers,

392
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:15,039
so highly. I wonder what that would do to your reputation.

393
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:18,880
Speaker 6: By the realm. You can't treat us this way. Wait,

394
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:22,160
are your royal superiors? I am the.

395
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 10: King silence worm by the realm? Let me think.

396
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:30,559
Speaker 2: I think it would benefit your royal highnesses greatly if

397
00:22:30,599 --> 00:22:33,759
you were to tell the truth about everything that's been

398
00:22:33,799 --> 00:22:38,039
going on. No more trampling on people you consider beneath you.

399
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:42,759
Speaker 6: And it it's ridiculous. This plan won't work. Even if

400
00:22:42,799 --> 00:22:46,200
you do have mister Stabbington as proof, who would believe

401
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:47,440
you against us?

402
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:49,640
Speaker 10: I'll tell the people myself.

403
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:50,839
Speaker 6: You what now?

404
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:54,920
Speaker 10: This family tradition of the beast Strikers to run our

405
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,480
kingdom in underhanded ways should have been put to an

406
00:22:58,599 --> 00:22:59,839
end a long time ago.

407
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 6: Even so, your aim to legitimize those monsters, how do

408
00:23:06,559 --> 00:23:10,480
you expect to convince the people to think any other

409
00:23:10,599 --> 00:23:11,480
way about them?

410
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:15,400
Speaker 2: I'd like to legitimately be married to one, if he'll

411
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:15,799
have me.

412
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:19,079
Speaker 5: Of course, I wouldn't have it any other way.

413
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:25,440
Speaker 6: Okay, Now you two are clinically insane. Demon folk are

414
00:23:25,599 --> 00:23:29,920
reviled amongst mortalians. Surely a royal wedding wouldn't be enough

415
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:31,039
to sway opinion.

416
00:23:31,559 --> 00:23:35,559
Speaker 1: I'll help even if it takes decades. If a renowned

417
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:41,319
monster Hunter can change her perspective, then surely anyone can write.

418
00:23:41,559 --> 00:23:46,920
Speaker 8: Wow, So this is the real origin story of Unification Day.

419
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 3: Huh.

420
00:23:47,839 --> 00:23:50,079
Speaker 2: It did take a couple of decades to get the

421
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,359
entire realm on board. But you're here as proof that

422
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:54,480
it worked out, aren't you.

423
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:56,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess so.

424
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,839
Speaker 2: So what do you think of your grandmother? Still think

425
00:24:00,079 --> 00:24:02,920
I'm a far Seeker doesn't deserve to be memorialized?

426
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,559
Speaker 3: Okay, maybe I was wrong.

427
00:24:06,079 --> 00:24:06,880
Speaker 9: And that's okay.

428
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 2: Sometimes we just need to take the time to understand

429
00:24:10,039 --> 00:24:10,640
a little better.

430
00:24:11,079 --> 00:24:11,319
Speaker 6: Umm.

431
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 8: By the way, Mom, there's something I've been meaning to

432
00:24:17,279 --> 00:24:17,640
tell you.

433
00:24:18,319 --> 00:24:20,039
Speaker 9: Oh what is it?

434
00:24:21,319 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 8: Don't freak out, but there's someone I want you to meet.
