The Red Riding Hood 4

Once upon a time, there was a famous monster hunter who was known as The Red Riding Hood. He killed monsters with no fear and hesitation, thus in a short time, he became famous throughout the country. With his bloody red cloak and giant axe, there was no monster he couldn't kill.

Except for this one monster. The Monster Lord in front of him. The monster his customer ordered to be killed.

The Red Riding Hood felt the potion's effect was wearing off. He must not lowered his guard. The hunter boy raise his axe, shoving the Monster away.

The Red Riding Hood swung his axe several times, but none made contact with the Monster Lord. Even though the monster was careful enough not to get hit, it also didn't attack back. The Monster was stronger.

The Red Riding Hood was angry. He felt that the monster didn't take him seriously.

Several minutes has passed. The Red Riding Hood's beast state was no longer intact, right then he was just a mere human .

The Monster saw this opportunity and casted a spell to the boy. Blue smoke surrounded them and the Red Riding Hood couldn't help but inhaled it.

The smoke was no ordinary smoke, it was enchanted to redo any spell to the one who inhaled it. And it unlocked the Red Riding Hood's memories. Memories that The Monster Lord sealed a long time ago.


And The Red Riding Hood remembered. The Monster Lord in front of him was... it was the one he had been looking for. The only one. The monster like no other.

The Red Riding Hood, no longer in a beast state, reached to the Monster Lord and hug the Monster. His axe was forgotten, along with all of his original intention. It didn't matter anymore.

The Red Riding Hood kissed the Monster Lord. He had longed for its touch for all this time without even knowing it. The monster reacted to the boy's gesture.

Nothing else mattered right then. Because when they were together, they were happy.

Twelve months later, the people never heard of the Red Riding Hood anymore. Some said, he was eaten by the Monster Lord, some said he started a journey to another continent. But no one knew the truth.

Deep inside a forest, there was a manor. Inside the manor lived a Monster Lord. And together with the Monster Lord, a beast lived there. A beast like no other.

His human appearance was disturbed by its feline ears. But it still could deceived people because there was always a red cloak covering his head. Thus the beast, by local people, was called The Red Riding Hood.
