Background Information:
Do you remember that story, the one about the monsters living in a closet or under the bed? Most children outgrow these types of stories and turn into blissfully naive adults, but what would happen if you were one of the few children who knew these monsters truly existed?
Lila’s parents tried to make sure she had the most average childhood possible. She lived in a normal ranch style home, attended a regular elementary school, and even occasionally had access to typical childhood games and toys. She was a happy child, but it was also terribly hard to hide the fact that she was different. No matter how hard her parents tried to foster her interest in music and art, it was nearly impossible for the girl to deny that she had been born into a family that was cursed. She was not cursed in the way of an illness but by the way of her destined profession. For as long as her family history could be traced, each and every member had dedicated their life to hunting monsters. Each time the story of her family’s history was told it changed, but every time it included some tale of betrayal, injustice, and death.
Even in modern day, the family trained in a similar manner to their ancestors, following a strict code that had been written years ago. The code had laws for fighting, handling different types of monsters, and of course training. The code was strict and would seem inhumane to the average person, but then again most humans would never have to defeat any type of inhuman creature. Lila’s family was skilled in archery, poisons, sword fighting, hand to hand combat, and using a few modern day weapons. Children typically started to train with their parents as soon as they were able to walk. They would often start with strength training, and on their fifth birthday would be introduced to a type of weapon. By the age of ten they were expected to be gifted in at least one of the areas of combat, and by thirteen they were expected to be proficient in using each type of weapon. On the teen’s sixteenth birthday they were tested with a rite of passage. This assessment included being able to handle each type of weapon, spending three nights in the middle of a vast wasteland alone, and killing at least three monsters without aid. If the teenagers succeeded, then they were rewarded by becoming an official hunter and by having the official family symbol tattooed on their body. If they were to fail in any one of their tasks then they were likely to be killed by what they hunted or cast out by their family if they managed to survive.
Despite the family elders’ wishes, Lila’s parents did not follow the code strictly and were lax in the girl’s training. She had been ill as an infant and part of her childhood, so she was only required to practice half as much as the other children. While her cousins fought, she stayed in the background cooking meals or keeping house. And while her family traveled the world in horrid conditions to track these evil creatures, she remained blissfully safe in her small home. For almost twelve long years her parents’ plan had gone perfectly for Lila, but shortly after that year they came crashing down around her. While her parents were away on a dangerous trip they were supposedly murdered in a battle by one of their most infamous enemies. The grief of her parents’ deaths was painful enough, but she also had to face the reality that she was an orphan. Fortunately for her the code had rules for this type of tragedy, and thus a distant aunt was forced to take her in to her home.
