"You, you, and you. Three of you will be a team," Luna commanded, pointing at a lightning wolf and two hobgoblins, gesturing them to group together.
"Was that the last of you?" She looked over once more at the gathered forces. In front of her stood twenty-one figures—seven lightning wolves and fourteen hobgoblins, all standing at attention.
A hobgoblin stepped forward hesitantly, his massive spear resting against his shoulder rather than the usual oversized shield. "Misstress Luna, the task we are about to do is different from the norm?"
"First, call me Miss Luna, mistress is only for my Master Lyssandra," Luna said firmly, raising one finger and wagging it side to side.
"Second, all of you will have to remember your assigned team from now on. That means remembering your other hobgoblin and/or the lightning wolf in your group."
She paused, letting that sink in, before continuing with more authority.
"Third, each team will go into the jungle biome and pick a different route and zone, and go hunting. All game will be contributed back to the camp."
Luna took a deep breath, her voice shifting to something more reverent and impassioned.
"This is it, your chance to repay your Great One," she said, her blue eyes blazing with conviction. "Eventhough it's just a small act of hunting, this is how you can show your loyalty and gratitude. Each beast you bring back is a testament to your dedication to Master."
She stepped forward, her small frame somehow commanding attention despite being surrounded by larger creatures.
"You see, we all serve her—myself, you, the spiders and even the wolves. We each have our role to play in strengthening this camp and making it safe for our Master. The food you hunt will nourish us all. The resources will help us build and grow stronger."
Luna's voice dropped to almost a whisper, though it still carried across the gathering.
"Do not disappoint me… or her. Bring back plenty. Show the Great One just how valuable you all are."
The camp echoed with a chorus of enthusiastic "Yes, Miss Luna!" as the assembled beasts departed with newfound purpose.
Luna's lips curled into a satisfied smirk as she turned around, searching for her Master. After briefly questioning a nearby swift goblin, she was directed toward the Slimes' habitat.
"Master, where are you?" Luna called out, her voice louder than usual though there was no reply.
"Master, what are—" Before Luna could finish her question, she froze.
The sight before her was utterly stimulating.
