It's been 4 years since we last seen ruko he was now 7 m long and his wingspan was 12 m he was already bigger than most hatchlings his age he had learned to fly use his flame sac and a multitude of other skills you would need to survive in this cruel world Suki was afraid she was going to have to push her son away until she saw.

Ruko proceeded to walk to the edge of the nest spread his wings in the setting Sun and let out a fearsome roar that cost multiple other hatchlings his age to roar at the same time as well around this time it was time for a lot of hatchlings to leave their parents ruko slapped his wings shooting into the air as he rode with the current going west he flapped his wings occasionally he would maintain altitude if he goes towards warmer climates there's bound to be something there he noticed below him one of the anjanath was also going in the same direction he was.

Ruko in his earlier life was tagged by a guild after realizing Suki was his mother The guild allowed her to raise him until he went to on his own so now no doubt they would most likely issue a hunting quest on her again such was the cruel way of life 2 hours he had been flying for 2 hours straight he noticed a small river as he dove down and landed he started drinking some water meanwhile.

Behind him a hungry great baggi was about to sneak him but he simply slapped it with his tail calls me to become infected with lethal poison from his tail spikes as it poison sac and everything after a light meal he continued his monstrous pilgrimage suddenly at the corner of his eye he noticed a group of duramabos heading in one direction duramabos migrate yearly so if they passed his original home then they should be heading to some place with an abundance of food.

Immediately he continued heading west while following the duramabos as they made turns going Northwest they certainly came to a stop at an inner pass weirdly it was facing Northwest and East norWeast a combination of North West and East he followed the duramabos from the sky as they led him to what anyone else who was traveling for days on end would call the motherland.

Literally there was a marsh leading into a massive lake that turned into a river where you had to scale the side of a waterfall in order to reach the ocean on the other side was a beautiful plateau rocky it was flat it had a bunch of small water pockets and slightly tall grass and in the middle was an massive forest with a large 36 meter cherry tree sticking out there was no cherry blossoms this time of year it was just straight pinkish purple leaves.

And finally straight ahead in front of the plateau and marshland it was a rocky mineral Rich area sandy and earthy in nature most likely where a gravios or an glavenus would like to hang out if he was lucky their might be a rathian in the forest if there was in the future he would not need to search far for a mate all I was left to do was scour this new motherland another good reason to call it this was because he was filled with elder dragon energy like there was something sleeping here dormant as long as it wasn't Zorah magnaros or dire Miralis they were fine.

Ruko decided to name this place "heavens Haven" had everything any monster could need now he needed to check out who the Apex were in the area and see if he could actually make his way into one of those spots he flew down to the forest first as that would be the best and easiest spot considering he was right above it as he dove beneath the trees their was nothing around suddenly a corpse came flying at him it was a Velocidrome.

Suddenly the culprit revealed themself it was a brute tigrex in all of it's muscular Glory made a devastating roar ruko didn't have time for this just shot a fireball at it so it would get distracted as he flew out of the forest that was one monster categorized he decided to move on to the marsh as he looked around he seen something a yellow spongy thing suddenly it lunge towards him it was a royal ludroth suddenly it was snatched from the side as it was being thrashed around the monster the apex of the marshlands revealed itself lagicrus lord of the deep it must have got stuck here.

Ruko decided to leave while it was distracted next was the plateau as he walked around he noticed absolutely nothing actually looked uninhabited suddenly a young foolish nargacuga try to slash him from behind it exceeded but he also managed to bite on to its tail as they fell down a slope that was loose from a recent rainstorm the young nargacuga slammed into something as ruko recover his eyes were in horror he needed to leave immediately he opened his wings and shot off into the sky so fast.

The young nargacuga thought it had absolutely scared off it's rival until it's a shadow behind it as it turned around it then saw a young female espina AKA Lords of the forest she was enjoying the most amazing nap ever until something interrupted her she locked eyes with the young nargacuga and immediately obliterated with a fireball.

Finally was the twisty rock formations as he flew remotely close to the ravine a the last of air slammed into the sky when he looked it down he noticed two more monsters he didn't even have to go far one which was what he already expected an gravios and his eyes went wide with fear it was a glavenus fighting the gravios immediately he made the wise decision to back off.
