Chapter 1 day of the hunt

A/n: let me make this absolutely and perfectly clear...this was from a dream I had when I was doing carts out in the cold rain. I did a request from a friend of mine when I told him about this little idea and he wanted me to add in his character. Also, I have seen 5 episodes of dragon maid and I love it! But I'm only using 3 of it's characters and that's it. I have watched all of GATE season 1 non stop from episode 1 to 10 and will finish it soon hopefully. I just started watching both animes this year and I love them both with all my heart. But when I mean that I thought of this from a dream while at work, I fucking mean it! So what happens in this story happens alright. That means...*sighs* crazy wild bullshit...

Funny thing is...once I thought of this little story in my head to pass the time, It somehow started to form things, Things that I thought might be cool to add in, Which I did. And the result in my head kinda worked out. But please...

Please...

I mean this with all my heart, Please don't take my work so seriously. The reason why I write is to have fun and let my imagination run free. I know that some if not all of you do the same thing, I respect all comments and opinions. But at the end of the day, I'm just a dork of a writer having fun with his imagination.

So please, Just sit back, And enjoy.

-Falmart, The Special region-

Here in this world is a land that is home to many things, From humans to dragons, To cat-people to bunny warriors. However one area known only as the Empire controls most of the continent of the land. And it is handled by vassal states as well. The Empire, Also known as the Saderan Empire, is a pre-industrial, militaristic, autocratic, Imperial state without an official name located in the special region and ruled by Emperor Molt Sol Augustus. where it runs in a hegemonic system with many vassal states. As an imperium dominatus it controls most of the continent of Falmart, ranging from the northern mountain ranges south along the coast of the Blue Sea, and from the western desert regions to a mountain and forest regions far to the northeast, a total distance of about 8000 km. This impressive size means that the Empire is comparable in size to the real-world Mongol Empire, the largest contiguous land empire in history.

But on this day is important for a different and good reason. On this day, A day that is considered special for each year...

The day of the hunt...

-the imperial senate-

The imperial senate, A building which where meetings of an unspecified number of senators and the emperor himself is present during some meetings, presumably to formally enact legislation voted on by the Senate. Today the emperor was present today for the day of the hunt. A special festival that was established by his fourth child; Corthal-Spartacus.

The day of the hunt, A day where humanoids, Depending on the type for that year, Are hunted down purely for sport and resources. This hunt comes once a year and it is something that all people of the empire enjoy once it arrives. This ruthless game was the idea of Corthal-Spartacus. Corthal, Like many of the people of his home saw the humanoids as nothing but inferior and weak. In fact all he saw was game and nothing more.

But unlike how the Empire did have the goblins as a vassal that provided auxiliary troops for their armies, Corthal refused to use them. He had stated that a no animal shall dare be among his ranks, And never stand beside him in battle nor at his side at a table. He had been known for hunting humanoids in his youth at the age of 14, And when he asked for his own army of knights, Molt instantly gave it to him. His knights were known as the hunter knights, And he was their leader.

Molt was sitting in his high chair as he listened to his other senators speak on what humanoid race to hunt for this year.

"We should go after the few surviving warrior bunnies!" one senator said "It's not like they'll need their fur anyway for anything since we took them down in battle 3 years ago!".

"No! The werewolfs should be next this year! We can use their fur as-".

"Stop! Let's think about this! What humanoids haven't we hunted in the past three years now!?" Said the leader of the senate, Said leader was Marquis Casel, Marquis walked left and right as he looked at the other senators "Come now, Let's think about this, Is their any race that we should hunt that could provide for the Empire? We've already gotten rid of the bunny warriors long ago so that doesn't count for us to go after any surviving few that are left. And I'm not one for the fairies, Their too small, And we might as well use them as handmade toys".

The other senators laughed at Marquis little joke as Molt finally spoke:

"Then what do think Marquis? Surely you must have something to add into this little conversation?" Molt said. Marquis turned to emperor Molt and nodded at him "I do my lord" he said "You, I and everyone here know how valuable dragon scales are, Correct? I was thinking about what your son Corthal had mentioned to me as his request".

"My son had a request now hmm?".

"Yes my lord..., His request was for his brothers in arms as well as for his empire to have the most powerful armor and weapons in the world! He's been obsessed with gaining dragon scales as to make chainmail under armor and weapons for his hunter knights, The imperial army, And use whatever what's left for our people".

Molt sighed, He was gracious that his son was thinking for the Empire and it's people. But he also knew what his son was also after. His son Corthal was fascinated with magic and alchemy, Something that Molt looked down upon. The only thing that Corthal had that were precious to him, Were two special rings that were made for him by a mage and alchemist for his 10th birthday: an alchemy ring and a magic ring.

Corthal used his two rings to create marvelous weapons for his army of hunter knights. He studied as much as he could about different types of alchemy and the very few books on magic that were in the Empire. He could only make weapons that involved basic metals, Like arrows with metal tips. He also made great lances, Crossbows, Greataxes, Giant maces, Meteor hammers, And Greatshields. All of which his father was thankful for, But still looked down upon Corthal because he never forged his weapons, But made them with magic. But Corthal didn't care, For he loved his passion, For to him, It was unique on the battlefield.

Molt sighed as he listened to the request. "Very well Marquis. I'll hear his request" Molt said as Marquis nodded at him. "Thank you my lord" Marquis said as he turned to the door of the senate building as Corthal came forth into the room.

Corthal was the same height as his brother Zorzal-El-Caesar. He had white hair that was in a braid, Had on imperial armor but wore his regular royal clothes under his armor, He had a black cape with the symbol of his hunter knights on the center of the cape that consisted of a different skull of each humanoid in a circle and two swords in the center of that circle. He was muscular in his arms and legs, As his body was toned slightly. He had one sword at his right side and it was known as the sword of the stars, The sword looked like the star Saber from transformers armada, Minus the blue and white colors.

Corthal was known as a brother and friend among the imperial army and empire. In battle, He cared for his warriors safety and made sure to listen to his generals for advice or opinion before going into battle. Whenever he made a mistake, He took full responsibility for it and always made sure to train or study more on his flaws to improve them. He was also curious in new things that fascinated him, But he kept that to himself when he had free time. He was loved by his soldiers and by his people, His siblings however each viewed him differently.

Diabo viewed Corthal the same way he viewed his sister Pina-Co-Lada. He cared about him and his safety, But was very leery of him if he was out for the throne.

Pina-Co-Lada viewed him as a friend and the two cared about one another greatly. He was fully supportive of his sister's dream to become a knight, And although their father saw her army as nothing more than a "plaything". Corthal saw true potential in his sister's army of rose knights.

Zorzal-El-Caesar viewed Corthal as an enemy and rival. They had their own views on slaves, Like how Zorzal loved any woman that he could get his hands on. Corthal only cared for human women only, And saw humanoid woman as he would put it "Disgusting wild beasts" that would never set foot in his presence and should be treated as only wild animals like they are. He also, Like the rest of the Empire saw Zorzal as an idiot, And Corthal feared the day that Zorzal would be emperor, And prayed to the gods that his sister would hopefully be their fathers successor.

And lastly was William, Corthal at the time of his life viewed his younger brother as his equal in combat and held him like his sister in high praise. But all of that came crashing down with an incident that happened, And Corthal has since viewed his young brother William as a traitor to his people and a disgrace to his family name.

All of the senators cheered and praised Corthal as he came to the center of the room as Emperor Molt silenced them as he raised his hand. Molt looked at his son who then kneeled to his presence.

"Father" Corthal said "I heard that my request was answered?".

"It was" Molt said sternly "So tell me my son, Is it true that you wish to hunt for dragon scales for our people?".

"Yes father! Dragon scales are valuable! And could be a wonderful asset to our army and mine! For this day of the hunt! We should hunt after the draconians!".

Molt raised an eyebrow at him, He knew that their was another reason for hunting the draconians, And he knew how much it meant to him. "Corthal...tell me...are you also interested in hunting after the chaos draconians as well, Hm?" Molt said "Because I've read that their blood can be useful for many things".

Corthal looked up at his father, He figured it out. As much as Corthal hated humanoids, He did want one thing from them. Chaos dragon blood. Magic blood that is said to come from only chaos draconians only. With that blood, Corthal could have the powers of a god if he had it within his veins. But there was a catch; You had to consume chaos dragon blood within 30 seconds or else it vaporizes permanently. The second catch, Was that chaos draconians are extremely rare, And very few are born. You'd be lucky to find even one. But Corthal was determined to find one and have it's blood.

Corthal sighed as he admitted the truth to his father "Yes...I've...known about that. And...that's another reason why I want to hunt the draconians" he said. Molt sighed as rubbed his chin a bit until a decision was made. He looked at his other senators as they were also looking at him to speak his final word. Molt looked back at his son, He knew how much getting that magic blood ment to him, And he knew of his son's love of magic and alchemy. He may have hated it, And looked at his son with disappointment. But he decided to be nice to him and give his answer.

"Very well my son" Molt said as he stood up from his chair "On this day of the hunt! The draconians will be our prey! And if a chaos draconian is present, Then you have my permission to have it's blood Corthal".

Corthal was surprised as he then looked up at his father.

"Are you...are you sure father?" Corthal asked him, Molt began

To smirk at him "I am" he said "If you find a chaos draconian, Kill it and have it's blood within your veins to gain your vision of true power!". Corthal stood up as he then placed his right arm over his chest as he smirked as the senators started to cheer and roar with pride.

"My father! Leave this hunt to me and my knights! I'll give the Empire the reward that it rightfully deserves! For my Empire shall be mighty and prosperous for all time!" Corthal said as he then took his leave to his hunter knights to start the hunt. Molt and Marquis watched him go as the other senators kept cheering for him.

"He has that look of determination in his eye" Marquis said "He's been waiting for this for a long time".

"Yes..." Molt said as he crossed his arms "And now I've finally given him what he wants".

A/n: I have all my notes written down and set. Let's have some fun for the next chapter. See ya then!
