We arrived at the island I'm going to call Giant Spider Island (it had a real name, but screw that Giant Spider Island it is). There was a large port entry way, but no one was there to meet us. I thought this odd, and so did the other hunters. Well they would have though it odd if they weren't all excited to get out there hunting. Micude had a veritable arsenal with him and his assistant (well the assistant had all the guns, Micude himself had only one, but it was a very large gun looked customized though I did see some Hanlon weapons in his weapons). The workers on the ship were at least alarmed none of the dock workers were down there.
"So no one is normally here?" The other hunters had moved on since they were not of Micude's girth.
"Should have been a party to meet us out here there is a resort here ordinarily run year round for all sorts of things." My heart sank a little, I just knew the giant spiders had eaten them.
"This doesn't alarm you?"
"Nah came here to hunt, maybe they are busy, maybe they got eaten, in which case good job on those egg heads for making a creature that could overwhelm the resort and consume its occupants."
"Sucks to be the ones who got eaten?" I was a little scared of how cavalier Micude was with the loss of lives.
"If they were better at killing they wouldn't have been eaten, come on Trezlan." I followed after Micude for some reason I was linked to the rather large man. Past the docks I could see a crashed vehicle with some kind of purple substance on the seat, but nothing else. No blood, no body, nothing. Micude and I even lost sight of the other hunters entirely, I guess no one cared about "checking in" with the resort for where they were going to be staying (this was by design, they apparently had planned on staying on the ship, which becomes untenable shortly).
My ability to track things had decayed in its years of none use. Like I could make out general signs of bad things (broken plants, scuffed dirt, what appeared to be blood) but couldn't make out a direction or even an angle for where the creatures and people they had attacked had gone (this was not accidental, the creatures were incredibly adapted and only attacked from up above, and the island was a lush jungle so they had plenty of space to do so. I was about to remark to Micude how we should probably seek shelter because I couldn't find any of the creatures we were hunting when I noticed he was gone.
"Well now I'm in the shit." And I completely was, up to my eyes in shit.
