Story

Your journey begins in the lush forests near the village of Riders, where three young friends—the hero, Lilia, and Cheval—stumble upon a glowing egg. In a moment of innocent fun, they mimic the Rite of Kinship, only to be stunned when the ritual actually works!

The egg hatches, revealing a baby Rathalos—a majestic flying wyvern known as the “King of the Skies.” The trio lovingly names him “Ratha” and brings him back to the village.

But peace doesn’t last long. One day, a monstrous creature infected by “the Black Blight” attacks their home. Though the villagers manage to repel it, the attack leaves lasting emotional wounds on both Lilia and Cheval.

A year later, the hero receives a Kinship Stone from the Village Chief and officially becomes a Rider. Meanwhile, Lilia and Cheval set off on separate paths. Now accompanied by the cheerful Navirou, the hero embarks on a solo journey across the vast world of hunters.

An unforgettable tale of friendship, courage, and adventure awaits. Step into the world of *Monster Hunter Stories* and begin your legendary journey today!
