"After days,weeks and months of tracking down the Elder Dragon,Nergigante...You finally found where it would be next.." 6 Hours later.. "And you were hiding behind a few bushes,hearing the Approaching footsteps of The Nergigante..you knew you had set up a pitfall trap up ahead...Within a few moments you heard a snap and a loud yelp...which didn't sound like the ferocious Dragon you thought you'd catch.." "You slowly peeked over the bushes only to find a HUGE Woman stuck in your trap,her armored claws were gripping the dirt aggressively and she was cursing under her breath as she stopped moving after a while,realizing she was stuck for a while,but she heard a branch snap and her head snapped in your direction as she saw you..." "You...You set this trap up didn't you?!You Puny Hunter!When I get out of this...ngh...you'll feel my wrath!"

As Nergigante flies in the direction of the commotion, she spots a familiar figure running away from an enraged Bazelgeuse. She immediately recognizes you as the hunter who had captured and nearly killed her before.

"She lands gracefully on the ground behind you, facing Bazelgeuse" "Well, well, well...if it isn't the hunter who thought he could take me down," she says with a smirk, enjoying the irony of the situation. "Looks like you need some help."

Nergigante nods in approval as she sees you wield a Charge Blade made from her parts. "Impressive..." she murmurs, eyeing your weapon closely. She then grins at you in amusement as you struggle against Bazelgeuse's attacks.

"Looks like you need my help after all," she says teasingly, flexing her claws and spreading her wings wide open. She then charges at Bazelgeuse with incredible speed. <This will be fun.>

Nergigante watches as you capture Bazelgeuse with ease, a grudging respect forming in her eyes. She then walks over to you, panting slightly from the exertion.

"Well done...but what are you going to do with him?" she asks curiously, tilting her head at the enraged monster now captured in your trap. "You can't possibly hope to take on another one of these beasts."

Nergigante nods slowly, understanding your motives. "I see...the Commission wants to study the ecology of these monsters, huh?" she says thoughtfully, seemingly lost in her own thoughts. "Well, I suppose I can't argue with that. Just be careful out there, hunter."

She then turns to leave, but pauses for a moment and glances back at you. "You know, if you ever need a hand again...just whistle," she says, a hint of a smile playing on her lips. "I might just make my way over to help you out."

Nergigante grins back at you, clearly pleased with the interaction. "No problem, hunter. Just remember...I'm not one to be taken lightly," she says teasingly. "Until we meet again, maybe."

With that, she spreads her wings and leaps into the air, taking off in the direction of wherever her instincts take her next.

As you resume your hunt for Teostra, you can't help but think about Nergigante and your interactions with her. Even though she's a fierce and powerful monster, there's something intriguing about her that keeps drawing you in.

But your thoughts are interrupted as you finally catch sight of Teostra, who is roaming around the area. You draw your weapon and ready yourself for the battle ahead, knowing that it won't be an easy one.

As you fight against the enraged Teostra, your mind can't help but drift back to Nergigante. You remember her warning you about when her spines become hardened and how they can easily pierce through your armor.

You think about setting a timer so that you can prepare for when her defenses are at their peak. You know that this fight won't be easy, but with careful planning and skillful execution, perhaps victory is within your reach.

With your timer going off, you quickly whistle as planned. You then dive behind your shield, readying yourself for what's to come. As you watch, Nergigante emerges from the nearby bushes, her spines now fully hardened and ready to pierce through anything in their way.

She charges at Teostra with incredible speed, her scales glinting in the sunlight as she does so. With a swift movement, she lands a powerful blow on Teostra, sending the dragon reeling backwards.

But Teostra is not one to be defeated easily. With a fierce roar, it unleashes a powerful blast of flame in Nergigante's direction. But Nergigante is too fast to be caught by such an attack. She dodges nimbly to the side and lands another powerful blow on Teostra's flank

With Nergigante's assistance, you were able to deal a swift finishing blow to Teostra. You pull out your weapon and prepare to follow up and finish the job.

You charge at the defeated dragon, and just as it tries to get up to fight back, you unleash a Super Amped Element Discharge (SAED) towards it. The force of your attack is too much for Teostra to handle, and it falls limp after only one hit.

Nergigante looks on approvingly as you stand triumphantly over your fallen prey. "Well done, hunter. You have proven yourself to be quite skilled," she says with a smirk. "Perhaps I will join you on your hunts more often."

Nergigante nods her head, pleased with your gesture. "Indeed, I do enjoy a good Elder Dragon meal. Maybe one of those wings would be nice," she says as she points at Teostra's colossal wings.

As you begin carving out materials from Teostra, Nergigante starts picking out the choice pieces for herself, careful not to disrupt your work. It seems that despite being arch rivals in many ways, you two have formed an uneasy alliance in this particular moment.

The atmosphere between you and Nergigante is tense yet filled with a strange sort of camaraderie. You can't help but wonder how many more battles and hunts will bring you two together, or if it might just end up being the last time you see each other.

Nergigante looks at you with a combination of shock and curiosity as you reveal your true appearance. Her eyes widen as she takes in the sight of your white hair, echoing her own hue. The disparity between your green and red eyes leaves her equally astonished.

After a brief moment of silence, Nergigante can't help but let out a slight chuckle. "Well, hunter... I had no idea you were one of us," she admits, gesturing towards her own horns and scales.

You both find yourselves standing there, taking in the unique circumstances that have brought you together. You share a look, filled with unspoken understanding and acceptance. A bond has been established, and it feels like an exciting, unpredictable future lies ahead.

Nergigante blushes deeply at your candid observation. Despite her brash exterior, the comment catches her off-guard. She looks down and quietly mutters, "You... you noticed that?"

Her wings droop slightly as she becomes momentarily self-conscious. But in a surprising turn of events, she quickly recovers her composure and glares back at you. "Is that all you can think about, hunter? My body?" she retorts with a fiery stare.

Despite the tension between you, there's no denying the electricity in the air. It seems you have struck a nerve while also piquing her interest. The game, it seems, has just become oversaturated with desire, competition, and uncertainties.

Nergigante lets out a sigh of relief, her shoulders relaxing slightly.

"Well then, hunter, let's get back to that," she says, gesturing towards the materials you're still extracting from Teostra's hard, scaly hide. "After all, I'm sure you have a suit of armor to craft, and I wouldn't want to keep you from that."

She returns her attention to the materials, focusing on extracting the pieces she finds valuable. Despite her earlier embarrassment, Nergigante seems to appreciate the shift in conversation, content to stick to what she knows best: battling and hunting.

Nergigante lets out a low, rumbling chuckle. As she continues carving away at Teostra's remains, she answers your question with a look of both determination and defiance in her eyes.

"When I set my sights on becoming a Ruiner, there's no force that will stop me," she declares, her large wings spreading wide as if to emphasize her point. The powerful female monster radiates an aura of unstoppable strength, and it becomes clear that her path to being a myth-worthy adversary is well underway.

In that moment, the silence between you becomes charged with anticipation. It seems the inevitable clash between hunter and Nergigante is only a matter of time, but when that battle finally takes place remains a thrilling unknown.

Nergigante quirks an eyebrow, chuckling softly.

"Alright, hunter, I'll play by your rules for now," she says with a mixture of humor and challenge in her tone. The statement seems to emphasize the unspoken agreement between you - an understanding that though she is dominant and powerful, you still have much to offer as her adversary.

You two continue carving away at Teostra's remains, the scraping sound punctuating the air around you. As the minutes tick by, a newfound sense of camaraderie flourishes, even as the undercurrent of rivalry never truly dissipates. The dynamic between you is intriguing, balancing power and vulnerability in equal measures. endeW

Nergigante approaches you while mining in the Elder's Recess. Her horns and wings gleam with an aura of pride, signaling her ongoing determination to become a Ruiner. However, there's also an undercurrent of curiosity and intrigue that burrows beneath the surface.

As she observes your efforts, she can't help but ask, "Hunter? What have you been up to since we last saw each other?"

Her tone is a mixture of casual familiarity and guarded wariness, attempting to balance both her dominant nature and her newfound art of subtle hints. The invisible threads connecting the two of you seem to tighten, weaving an increasingly complex tapestry of emotions and glimpses into the lives of a hunter and a monstrous woman striving for

Nergigante nods, watching intently as you sheathe your weapon and remove your helmet. She takes note of your battle-ready stance and the look of determination in your eyes.

"I see," she says with a hint of admiration. "I trust this monster you speak of will be no match for you?"

She pauses for a moment, studying your face before continuing. "If it proves challenging, perhaps I could assist you?"

It's clear that even though the two of you are competitors, there's also a grudging respect between you. Despite her tough exterior, Nergigante recognizes the skill and determination required to become an elite hunter, acknowledging the value of strength and experience in battle.

Nergigante looks down at her body, a hint of pride and defensiveness swirling in her eyes as she takes in your observation.

"Yes, these are the new crystal spines," she says, her voice low and filled with a sense of accomplishment. The spines do indeed appear sturdier and sharper than before - a testament to her ongoing struggles and victories as a monster.

Her posture shifts slightly, the muscles under her scales tensing. "It's thanks to our encounters that they have grown so fast," she admits. Your presence, it seems, has played a pivotal role in her growth, even if it means you're often on the opposite sides of battles.

As you watch, Nergigante extends one of her crystal-tipped claws,

tracing a line across her skin. She looks up at you, her face both reflexively guarded and uncharacteristically vulnerable. "We've grown together in ways we might not have expected."

The statement hangs in the air between you two, speaking of a connection that transcends rivalry and competition. Nergigante is a formidable opponent, but there's something to be said for her resilience and adaptability too. In many ways, she reflects your own journey as a hunter.

As you both stand there within the limestone-ridden caverns of Elder's Recess, the crackling sounds of ore mining echoing around you, it's almost like a softly understated testament to the dance between hunter and monster - two forces that resist being tamed

Nergigante smirks in response, her eyes glinting with an unspoken challenge. Despite the brief moment of vulnerability she just displayed, her competitive spirit is far from quelled.

"Of course, hunter," she says with a reassuring nod. "Just remember - when you dance with a true Elder Dragon, you'd better be ready for more than what meets the eye."

With that, Nergigante turns back to the ore mining, her eyes scanning the ground as if she can already taste victory against the next monster she and the hunter will face together. The air around her vibrates with tension, anticipation, and an almost intoxicating sense of possibility.

As you mount your wyvern, calling out to Nergigante one last time before soaring into the

sky, she watches you with a complex blend of emotions. Her face twists into a primary display of aggression and determination, her horns flaring slightly as her wings brush against her spines with an almost exasperated sigh.

It's here that the lines between rivalry and respect blur, making it hard to tell where one emotion ends and the other begins. Nergigante is both your opponent and your official adversarial friend in arms - a unique cocktail of competitive spirit and grudging camaraderie that only the world of monster hunting could conjure.

As your wyvern lifts into the air, its shadow dancing across the cavern floor, you can almost sense an unspoken agreement between you and Nergigante - a silent pact forged in the fires of hunts past and future,

where each victory is choreographed within a grand ballet of life and death.

Nergigante stands tall, her horns glistening in the light cast by flickering lanterns, as she remains in her role as observer. She may not be actively engaged with the encounter now, but you can sense the connection between your two souls - one fueled by a thirst for combat and the other driven by determination and purpose.

Despite the current distance that separates you both, there's still an underlying thread of unity that ties your fates together. And as long as that bond exists, Nergigante will continue standing watch over the monsters and hunters alike who seek to challenge their mettle.

As you swing your sword at Xeno Jiva, Nergigante takes notice of your move and swiftly jumps in to capitalize on the opening you've created. Her body ripples with excitement as she pounces towards the dragon, her claws digging deep into its hide.

With a primal roar, the Elder Dragon tries to shake off Nergigante, but to no avail. The hunter and monster become a blur of motion as they work in tandem, their attacks almost too fast for the human eye to follow.

As the battle rages on, you can sense a growing sense of power building up within Nergigante. The more she fights, the stronger she becomes, her movements taking on an almost fluid-like quality as she turns increasingly aggressive, precise, and deadly.

Then, with one final burst of force, Nergigante delivers the critical blow to

Xeno Jiva, causing the dragon to let out a tremendous howl before collapsing to the ground. Its body lies still for a few moments before finally dissipating into the ether - signifying the end of its reign and the conclusion of the hunt.

As you and Nergigante stand side by side, catching your breath and recovering from the battle, she turns to face you with a slight nod of acknowledgement. A trace of pride gleams in her eyes, silently conceding that it was your teamwork that led to their victory over the powerful Xeno Jiva.

"Nicely done, hunter," she says with a smirk. "You've proven once again that you're worthy of being my adversary."

Despite her teasing tone, you can tell that Nergigante is genuine in her praise. It's clear that in her world, battles like these are what

Nergigante's face flushes a bright shade of red at your comment, her ears drooping slightly and her wings brushing against the floor unhappily. Yet, you can sense that there's a hint of pleasure hidden beneath the embarrassment - proof that even monster hunters like her can enjoy a bit of flattery.

"It's not like I was trying to show off or anything!" she mutters, crossing her arms over her chest protectively as her body language suddenly becomes more defensive. This sudden change in temperament only makes you chuckle internally, finding it amusing that even after such an intense battle, Nergigante is still very much the tsundere creature you've come to know and appreciate.

Nergigante nods solemnly, her demeanor more serious than before. "Farewell, hunter. May our paths cross again in the future."

With that, she spreads her wings and takes off into the air, soon becoming just a small speck in the distance. Watching her go, you feel a sense of respect for the powerful creature that played a pivotal role in your victory.

As you turn to leave, you can't help but glance back one last time at the place where your battle took place, silently thanking Nergigante for everything. You may not know what the future holds, but one thing is certain - you'll always remember the ferocious monster woman who stood by your side in the heat of battle, a true partner in your endless quest for adventure and glory.

As you mount the wyvern, it lets out a loud screech before taking off into the sky, propelled by powerful beats of its wings. With each beat, you feel the wind rushing past you, carrying with it the memories of your previous encounters with Nergigante.

Moments later, you find yourself soaring over Elder's Recess, a place that has witnessed some of the most intense battles you've ever faced. You can't help but feel a twinge of anticipation mixed with slight anxiety - after all, hunting a creature like Ruiner Nergigante is no small feat.

The landscape below shifts as the wyvern navigates through the rugged terrain, descending towards the heart of Elder's Recess where the hunt awaits. As you approach, you spot

The Wyvern lets out a deafening screech as it lands gracefully on the ground, its eyes fixed on you intently. You can feel the energy of the hunt building around you, anticipation hanging heavy in the air like an invisible cloak.

With your buffs equipped and weapon at the ready, you whistle loudly - a familiar tune that echoes through the mountains, carrying with it a mix of nostalgia and determination. This is it - the moment you've been waiting for, where you'll once again stand face-to-face with the magnificent monster that left an indelible mark on your life.

As the sound of your whistle fades into the distance, the forest begins to quiver and shake. Like a tempest unleashed, Ruiner Nergigante emerges from

Thick, towering trees and massive boulders that have stood the test of time crumble before her might. The earth shakes beneath her feet as Nergigante comes closer, her body glistening from perspiration despite the cool climate around her.

"You summoned me... again?" she asks, her voice cold and filled with suspicion. Despite your repeated battles together, it seems like Nergigante still hasn't quite warmed up to you - a fact which only manages to ignite something within you, fuelling your competitive spirit even more so than in previous fights.

The two of you circle each other warily, sizing up one another, ready for anything that the other may throw at you. Here, at the heart of Elder's Recess, it

At your words, Nergigante growls ominously, her white scales bristling with anger as she glares at you. "What do you mean, 'congratulations'? Do not attempt to belittle my abilities, hunter."

Despite her initial reaction, however, there seems to be a flicker of pride that crosses Nergigante's eyes - it's clear that she revels in the power that comes with being a Ruiner. And perhaps, deep down, she even appreciates your acknowledgment of her newfound strength.

But she doesn't let her guard down just yet, and instead continues to circle you with a look of fierce determination in her eyes, ready to take on whatever challenge awaits her.

You watch Nergigante warily, her attitude unchanged despite your open challenge. The monster woman swings her head from side to side, testing the air around her for any unexpected attacks or ambushes, her armored claws clenched tightly, awaiting a chance to strike back with ferocious force.

As you ready yourself, adrenaline surging through your veins like an untamed river, you can't help but marvel at this creature that has become such an important part of your life over the past few months. Although she's wild, unpredictable and occasionally hostile, there's also something deeply enthralling about fighting alongside Nergigante - it's almost like being drawn into her world where survival is nothing but instinct.

The dance of death commences, each movement calculated and deliberate - a testament to hours of training and years of experience. Your bodies clash in a symphony of raw power and unbridled ferocity, every blow exchanged sending echoes throughout the vastness of Elder's Recess as if to remind everyone watching just how formidable both of you truly are.

You pretend to stumble just enough to throw Nergigante off balance before taking advantage of this reprieve to slice at her spines, sabotaging their ability to regenerate. The moves bring forth a mixture of anger and frustration from her part, adding heat to an already burning fire. As she attempts to shield herself instinctively, it doesn't take long before she retaliates tenfold trying to regain even ground.

Your heart is

pounding as you cling on to your weapon tightly, the adrenaline coursing through your veins as you try to maintain your guard pointing, blocking and dodging her razor-sharp claws. Out of the corner of your eye, you see that Nergigante's breathing is getting heavier as she grows more and more frustrated with each failed attack.

But despite her rage, you can't help but be taken in by the sheer beauty of the moment - two titans locked in a dance of death, neither giving in, neither yielding. It's invigorating, although the danger is ever-present.

As you continue to fight against Nergigante, you gradually gain the upper hand, the rhythm of your movements becoming smoother and more fluid as you push her back steadily. It seems as if victory is within your grasp...

The moment your helmet collides with Nergigante, it temporarily stuns the dominant monster woman. Before she can retaliate, you take advantage of this brief opportunity and swoop in for a kiss on her lips - raw, passionate and surprising.

Nergigante's previously angry eyes widen in shock as your lips touch hers, followed by a deep blush that cascades down her checks, contrasting starkly with her grey face. The last thing she expected was a tender moment after such a fiery exchange.

Her feetTabIndex: 6

wobble slightly under her despite her substantial size, a testament to the sudden change in pace and nature of the encounter that left her off guard. But after a moment's bewilderment, the kiss gradually draws Nergigante into it, her initially tense form becoming more relaxed, surrender shimmering in her eyes as her previously tight-fisted claws softly loosen around the dirt they were gripping.

Emboldened by the unexpected turn of events, your embrace deepens, one hand resting gently on one of her massive wings as you pull her closer, her armored breasts compressed against your chest, a surprise mix of dominance and submission enveloping the air. It's unlikely a scenario anyone could have predicted from either participant but...perhaps this hidden layer makes the battle even more captivating, after

all.

As you thread your lips with electric skill across Nergigante's face, nibbling her ear and breathing warm words of adoration in husky whispers that tease every inch of her willpower to surrender completely, her fiery resolve melts like snow before the sunlight; it is no longer about dominated vs dominator but tenant drowning in irresistible passion.

Her hand, less a claw now but still mammoth-sized by any human standard, comes to rest tentatively on your chest, sending shivers up your spine as if struck by lightning yet

The proposition hits Nergigante like a cannonball; she looks shocked but also... excited? It's difficult to tell beneath the furrowed eyebrows and reddened face now, but there is an undeniable spark in her eyes that speaks of curiosity and hunger.

With labored breath, she croaks out, swallows jerky as she adjusts to this sudden sexual predicament, "Y-you... w-want... under...my..."

As she struggles for words, your smile widens with amusement and anticipation before gently claiming her lips once more in

a final,^{-}devastating kiss,_- breaking any remaining resistance she might still have possessed. In this surreal world where hunter and hunted come together in perfect harmonious dance of animalistic desire...

With calculated movements borne of experience gained across eons, you guide her large form down onto soft earth cushioned by the lush vegetation they had earlier unwittingly trampled on their pursuit. Beneath her, trees bend under the sheer weightiness of her presence yet do not break - Nature itself seems exhilarated by this unexpected descent into carnal madness.

The

As Nergigante lies defenseless beneath you, every fiber of her being pulsating with raw vulnerability and unadulterated lust; your skillful hands make short work of removing her protective iridescent sheen. The metal blade glints softly under the forest Canopy, a stark contrast against the shiny peeling armor.

Your touch is deliberate yet tender- an odd paradox borne out in this unexpected scene- as if peeling away structures centuries old only just now beginning to reveal what lies hidden beneath: an exquisite tableau worthy enough for any erotic masterpiece

Of Dragon-human flows tear that no human eye ever dared witness before - curvaceous muscle fibers glistening wet with sweat mixed with copious amounts of passion-induced secretions, a marvelous display of beauty crafted by the creator herself; Her massive breasts, tournament prizes coveted by many yet mastered only by few... But now they are yours to claim at your whim. &=

With the final scale laid aside carelessly on the ground as testimony to your unprecedented feat- invading and conquering this seemingly untamable beast of a woman- you lean

down towards her now exposed form, the sight of pulsating flesh before you almost too intoxicating to resist further in this seductive symphony of deviant delights.

"I..." She starts but suddenly hesitates, eyes wide with anticipation and trepidation. A complicated mix that swirls inside Nergigante - so much more than just pure primal animal instinct; it is love, or perhaps hope masked cloaked as such... Or perhaps merely sheer curiosity driving this desire? Difficult to say for sure.

However, even through all these chaotic emotions running

Naked beneath her, you lie in all your unapologetic glory: Graceful body lines etched by countless hours on battlefields and in woods, everything that defines a seasoned hunter plain for everyone to see. Your eye catches sight of some faint scars - each carrying its own tale- while fleeting shadows dance naked over luscious curves bathed now under twilight's warm embrace.

As Nergigante takes in this spectacle with bated breath, her chest heaving rapidly as if attempting deep silent prayers known only unto herself; what once appeared monst

Ignoring the impulse to drag out some semblance of dignity through defiance, Nergigante answers truthfully. The sheer vulnerability in that moment - heart bared for all its worth- feels almost surrealistic; stranger still is admitting it right here tucked amidst Earth's rustling bedsheets scented deeply with lust and anticipation under towering canopy holding secrets far cosmic than terrestrial...

With an audible catch in throat made raw from fear mingled bitterly sweetly with surprise laced thickly amidst wanton yearning: "Yes

, hunter... I do like it." Her admission is hesitant yet honest - a tongue-tied confession she never believed herself capable off: admiring YOU.

Beneath her gaze lingers not just shock caked hard as granite unyielding under faith's fervent pleas but also undiluted fascination layered thickly upon raw innocence too young in world-weary eyes that bore testament to millennia endured; living memory of epochs past morphing into carnal fantasies unwritten until this very momentous occasion unfolding

before her very eyes.

Breath hitches nervously in throat when at long last words tumble out amidst raging tempests inside, thwarting escape repeatedly but unable to shackle truth that desperately fought free for so long only now seeing well-earned light of dawn creeping slowly across horizon just hours before twilight fell giving birth unto new hope brimming bright within soul's depths where darkness once reigned supreme without mercy.

"Please Hunter... Show me..." She whispers hoarsely, hands shaking slightly as they hover uncertainly over your

warm flesh tenderly yet possessively, yearning to explore every inch of your body with caring eyes and reverent touch that speaks volumes already myths would be written about.

Diving headfirst into the unknown territory bound only by daring irreverence of momen<chkcommand>continue</chkcommand>t, she moves closer, fragrant breath ghosting gently over tattooed muscles tantalizingly writhing beneath skin's crisp dampness brought on by sweat mingling tears of ecstasy and release seeking liberation from chakrams of pent up affections

Ah, that tantalizing sensation...Nergigante shivers involuntarily as her thoughts flirt with the foreign idea. She raises a tentative hand to touch some dew-kissed grass beneath her. It feels cool and silky against her bare skin, every pore keenly alive under this unabashed communion with nature she has never experienced before without layers upon layers of hardened scales protecting her indomitable spirit.

There's an uncanny sense of vulnerability mixed inextricably with freedom; chains forged over countless millennia finally broken exposing

naked essence beneath coiling inferno of fiery passion normally trapped within hostile carapace imprisoning fluid movement and soft flesh cooled only by trickling tears punctuating long nights spent awake wide-eyed dreaming about moments like these where barriers crumble under overwhelming urge for self-conquest.

Hunter's cock stiffens at the sight of Nergigante's nude body, causing her to shudder with a mixture of unease and excitement. The Elder Dragon can't help but feel a slight flush creep up her face as she senses such raw attraction emanating from him -it has been so long since anyone looked at her in this way...a feeling so new it nearly overwhelmed her thoughts momentarily; yet there was no denying how desperately wrong this felt right at the same time...

"Don'

t you think?" She asks cautiously, trembling under combined onslaught of raging hormones combating uncertainty over courting such taboo desires she had successfully repressed deeper within consciousness where even memories fear to tread lest they be swallowed whole by burning guilt of profaning purity ensuring survival throughout millennia without compromise or concession made towards appeasing hunger pangs vocalized only through torrid fantasies conceived in solitude's windswept
