L'ambassadeure d'Haïti à Cuba sommée de rembourser 100 000 dollars

Le Bureau de Contrôle et d’Inspection (BCI) du Ministère haïtien des Affaires étrangères a récemment pris des mesures strictes contre les détournements de fonds dans les ambassades haïtiennes. Régine Lamur, ambassadeure d’Haïti à Cuba, a reçu une lettre du BCI lui demandant de rembourser les 100 000 dollars qu’elle aurait détournés de l’Etat haïtien. Mais l’affaire ne s’arrête pas là.

Sᴀɴᴅ ᴀɴᴅ Bʟᴏᴏᴅ.

Sand Barioths are the mounts of seasoned Lamure warriors. One has to prove their fortitude, endurance, and lethality to gain the right to bond with such a highly-respected ally, and once formed, that link will never fracture.

Lamure's vast expanses are highly unforgiving and volatile- as such, a remote tribe housed on the edge of the Sadona Barrens has long known that beasts designed for speed and agility serve far better in navigating their home.

These wyverns are regarded as companions of the utmost honour. To see one daubed in its Rider's paint and hand-crafted ornaments is to witness an ancient partnership that has persisted for countless generations.

↠ Sand Barioth is an extremely underrated subspecies, in my opinion. Most of MonHun's subspecies feel a little too much like reskins or are too similar to their predecessors- Green Nargacuga, Pink Rathian & Aurora Somnacanth come to mind, in particular. Sand Barioth breaks the species mold, placing the monster in the antithesis of its domain- it's a really fun, flashy, and bold concept.

In terms of inspiration here, I based both lore and visuals on the ethnic Karo people of Ethiopia. Their daily practise of body-painting is really beautiful, and so strikingly captures the human experiences of creativity and self-expression.

Whisper: Surge, I need to know something and you're the only one I trust enough to be completely honest with me Surge, half paying attention while flipping through a book about old timey insults: Shoot. Whisper, embarrassed: Do you......do you think I've gotten fat? Surge: Bitch I think you, like me, are finally fucking getting three square meals a day plus snacks and treats. Difference is that my fucked up metabolism keeps the pounds away. Whisper, visibly distraught: So yes? Surge: Yeah a little, but it clearly hasn't affected your ass kicking abilities and Lamur sure as shit doesn't care. Pretty sure she would flay herself alive if you asked nicely enough. Just hit the gym with Lanolin and I if you're that bothered by it. Bring Lamur with if you want. Whisper, sincere: Thank you Surge Surge, turning back to their book: Whatever Whisper: Wait, if your metabolism does all the work, why do you go to the gym? Surge, without thinking: I like to watch Lanolin workout Whisper:......................... Surge, realizing what she just admitted: uuuuuuh Whisper, extremely smug: So you like to watch Lanolin workout huh? Surge, red in the face and panicking: ASUFDNQPUWNXCZF SHUT UP YOU WHITE-LIVERED DUNDERHEAD!!!!!!!!!!!

Reminiscing

Legend hummed as he felt Ravio shift against his side. He carefully pulled Ravio closer and watched as the Rider burrowed into Legend’s side and settled back to sleep. It’d been a few days since they started traveling through Loloska. Both Hunter and Rider moving from the colder region towards Lamure where they’ve heard about a ranch that would grant them aid.  He took a deep breath before slowly letting it out, trying to let his thoughts slip away when he sighed. Legend had met Ravio when the other was selling feathers from a Qurupeco and had run into trouble when other hunters were angered by the prices. Legend had managed to talk the other Hunters into letting him take the merchant to the guild and once they were far enough away Legend had let Ravio go. Their first interaction quickly snowballed into Legend learning that Ravio was a Rider, someone who formed bonds and lived with monsters, from a distant village that had suffered heavily from the Black Blight. He’d left with his monstie to find help but had only found trouble with Hunters because of Sheerow.  That led them to where they were now, trekking through the ice and snow on a rumor. He didn’t know what they’d do if Lamure turned out to be a bust if they had to keep searching and running. He could starkly remember Ravio's trembling hands, the fake smile, and the dead eyes. He saw the same expressions in Sheerow, the Bird Wyvern mimicking their rider almost perfectly with his constantly twitching wings, flat chirps and warbles, and dead eyes. He didn’t want to see it again. The pain of not being able to ease his friend's worries, not being able to ease Ravio’s worries. A hum and a push brought him out of his thoughts. Ravio had moved again and was now almost sprawled atop Legend, ‘Likely to steal my body heat’ Legend mused, and Sheerow had pushed further in on his other side. The Crimson Qurupeco was now curled completely around the pair, feathers puffed up to trap heat from the fire and Legend and Ravio. Legend felt himself smile, raising one hand to gently card his fingers through Ravio’s hair and using his other to rub the underside of Sheerow’s beak. He could think about those worries later, for now, Legend would just enjoy having the two close to him. He settled himself down. Drawing Ravio that last bit closer, tucking their blankets more snuggly around the pair and finally allowing his eyes to slip closed.

Sooo basically there was a report about a Hellblade Glavenus in Lamure, so Lilia and the scriveners (accompanied by Revertbro) head out to go find it, instead of a rampaging deviant however, Lilia finds herself with a female rider about her age huddled up next to, low and behold, a Hellblade Glavenus, but as soon as she sees Lilia and the group she starts having a full-blown panic attack, clinging to her monstie in fear which makes the Hellblade VERY defensive, which now nobody can approach her without the Hellblade getting involved, and if Lilia tried to force her, she’d be getting a very long lecture from Cheval and the Hakolo rider combined. So after a while of trying to tell the girl it’s okay, she finally follows along however the Hellblade is absolutely glued to her side and still very protective. Once interviewed, the Hellblade rider explains she had a very traumatic experience with a group similar to the scriveners, which is why she acted out

Leaving the rest to you >:)

Interesting idea! I hope you enjoy!

A Hellish Friend More Like

Lilia gets reports of a dangerous deviant monster in Lamure. However, instead of finding said monster, all she finds is a very scared rider huddled close to her monstie.

When Lilia got word of a dangerous Hellblade Glavenus running rampant through Lamure, she was extremely worried. People traveled through that land with families and goods, usually unarmed, which would be a death sentence if this deviant found them.

"Where's Reverto? I told him he needed to be here." Lilia asked her band of Scriveners that were accompanying her on the journey. Most of them shrugged, but on spoke up.

"He said he was going to meet you out there. Had to prepare or something."

Lilia wanted to call bullcrap on that, but she just kept her mouth shut and continued her own work before they left. But he better show up, or otherwise he was going to regret it. Lilia didn't have time to find another hunter. But just in case, she sent a letter out to Cheval to come and aid her. She knew he was reliable in that aspect.

And with that, they all got ready to go.

When they arrived out in the dry plains of Lamure, Lilia was surprised to see Cheval and Reverto with each other. Rathi was snoozing at the moment before raising her head once she noticed Lilia.

"I'm surprised you actually showed up." Lilia said to Reverto, who looked appalled.

"Hey! I may have a bad rap sometimes, but I'm not gonna leave you out here with a dangerous monster on the loose." Reverto moved to defend himself, making her roll her eyes. Then she turned to Cheval.

"Thank you for coming on such short notice." She said to her friend and he nodded.

"Always happy to help." He said with a smile. Reverto then moved and put arms around both their shoulders.

"Let's get a move on!" He said almost too excitedly.

When they all started moving across the area, Lilia felt it was too quiet. Cheval and Rathi were in the lead with Reverto, she was behind them, and the rest of her Scriveners took the rear. A rampaging deviant should be a lot more noticeable; burn marks, tracks, dead monsters, anything to give the presence of something large and dangerous.

But there was nothing.

However, Rathi then got the scent of something, and took off into the underbrush. Lilia and the others were quick to follow the Rathian as her attention was drawn elsewhere. After a few moments, the commander reached the area first, and nearly ran into Rathi as the monstie stopped in her tracks, looking on edge.

Lilia followed the Rathian's gaze and saw a young woman that was around her age. But that wasn't the most shocking part.

Beside her was a Hellblade Glavenus monstie. This girl was a rider.

It took only a second before both monsties noticed each other. The Glavenus deviant hissed a little, getting to its feet. This got your attention as well and you locked eyes with Lilia. The two of you stared at each other as the monsties held their ground.

"Hello. I'm Lilia." The brown-haired woman stated professionally: "I heard that there was an aggressive Hellblade Glavenus causing problems."

"..." The girl didn't say much of a word, but things didn't look too serious after all. For a second, Lilia figured that this job was going to be easy.

"Listen, I'm going to need you to-"

But when Reverto, Cheval, and the rest of the group showed up, you went into a full-blown panic.

"Get away! Get away from me!" You shouted in absolute fear as the group encroached on you. Your Hellblade roared furiously, causing even Rathi to back down as you clung to your monstie's side. Your monstie continued to snarl and hiss, and you were huddled up next to her, shoulders shaking as you held back tears.

"We need to get that girl to come with us." Lilia said to Reverto, who looked unsure about the whole thing.

"I don't know Lils...I think if we left, the situation would handle itself." Reverto put his two cents in, noticing your behavior as well as your monstie's. However, the commander wouldn't listen to reason.

"Please, just go get the girl. We need to have control here." Lilia ordered, ignoring the defensive stare your Hellblade monstie was giving. The group of Scriveners tried to approach you by force while also trying to cause as little harm as possible.

However, this just caused the Glavenus deviant to actually attack.

She scorched up her tail and fired a shot at the Scriveners. This caused Rathi to rush forward and retaliate. An all-out fight broke between the monsties, and Reverto grabbed his sword just in case things got any worse than this. Cheval ran forward and tried to hold Rathi back as she roared at your monstie.

"Lilia! Stop this! Something is up and you're just making it worse!" Cheval shouted at her.

The commander bit her lip for a second before heeding her friend's words. The group of Scriveners quickly backed off and allowed both you and your monstie to breath.

"Let's all calm down for a second, yeah?" Reverto said as Rathi and the Hellblade Glavenus, still growling, went back to their respective riders. Your breathing was still rapid, but you were able to look up at the group now that your monstie was back by your side.

Yet, your eyes were still full of fear.

"Listen, we don't mean you any harm. We just want to talk." Lilia said calmly and everyone offered a kind smile despite the fight that broke out earlier.

"You're okay. But please, come with us." Lilia tried again, and your eyes flickered towards Cheval, the only other rider that was with the group. He offered you a smile.

"You can trust her. We just want to keep everyone safe." He added, and you finally looked like you calmed down a bit. With shaky legs, you stood up using your monstie for support.

"Alright...I'll come..." You said, Cheval's words convincing you over anyone else's.

"Thank you." Lilia said softly and ordered everyone to head back to Lulucion. Reverto took the lead with the group following behind him along with Lilia. Cheval stayed back near you with Rathi ahead of him.

However, you were taking a slow pace with your monstie glued to your side. Anytime someone got close to you, your Hellblade monstie would growl. She was still extremely protective of you after the events that just occurred. But there were still questions that needed to be answered.

And Lilia hoped she would get answers in Lulucion.

Once they got to the Guild's place, you were still very on edge, holding your monstie close. Your Glavenus deviant was even more of edge, looking around at everyone and everything as well as tensing up and growling each time you flinched. But things seemed to calm down a bit when it was just you, Lilia, Reverto, and Cheval in a room.

"Do you think you can give us a bit of an explanation as to what happened back there?" Reverto cut to the chase before Lilia could even speak.

"I'm Y/N...and sorry, M/N is rather protective of me...She probably got overwhelmed and worried..." You said, placing a hand on the monstie's side, which caused her to ease up a bit and nuzzle you.

"But why? Was it because of Reverto?" Lilia asked in reference to the hunter. But you shook your head, looking down at your feet.

"It's not about hunters, it's just...we had a bad run-in with a nasty group of similar to you guys in the Guild. Things went south, M/N got hurt bad, and they nearly took me away from her...It's why I acted the way I did...I was just scared of the same thing happening again..." You said, starting to shake slightly as your Hellblade Glavenus nudged you.

"I'm sorry...I had no idea...I..." Lilia tried to apologize, but you just smiled a bit.

"You had no way of knowing. I should've just spoken up from the beginning." You told her, easing up a bit and realizing these people weren't like the malevolent ones you dealt with previously.

"And I'll keep M/N out of trouble. I'll teach her to ease up a bit so no one gets hurt." You said when you remembered that this whole thing started with a dangerous Hellblade Glavenus.

"I appreciate that." Lilia said with a grin.

"Would it be possible if I stayed here for a bit? M/N is a bit overwhelmed and needs some rest." You asked sheepishly, and Lilia immediately agreed. Reverto shot you a grin as he bid his farewells, and Cheval came over to put a hand on your shoulder.

Your monstie growled a bit, but there was no lashing out.

"I'll show you were M/N can rest for a bit." Cheval said before leading you to the stables, your monstie very close behind. You felt comfortable in the presence of another rider, and he was kind to you.

"See you later!" Lilia called as she sat back in her desk. All the events that occurred today played back in her head, but in the end, she was just glad that no monster had to be put down.

All's well that ends well.
