Out in the open was Zephel surrounded by curious people. Word of his presence was spreading like hot fire. A tamer of all monsters? IT was unbelievable. Some questioned why he would waste his time, dragon tamers already existed and they were the strongest of monsters no?
"Haha! Long time has passed since Dragons ruled. Variety is now the strength of the monsters and Dragons are just another part of the messy whole!" He told the elders who scoffed at the idea of taming all monsters. It was impossible either way. "No it isn't!" Zephel protested. Holding out a stone with a glowing water like light inside and a prime piece of meat in both hands. "You simply need to find what the monster enjoys eating. That's half the work." He also dug into his bag and pulled out rare fruits. "These are more valuable than gold to a true tamer. Come I will teach the young for they will understand it takes heart over anything else."
He walked over to the shack he had with drapes over it. He undid the drapes and revealed a variety of monsters all within a pocket dimension inside crystal spheres all lined up in rows. He grabbed a sphere and held it out to a young one. The child took it and it released a magical aura that made the creature appear in the air above her. A glowing light fairy that rained healing dust on her. "The one who awakens them will be their new master. Once they're yours it will be up to you to keep them well. This is responsibility."
Many were ready to grab a free obedient monster but he held his hand up to stop them. "She was just an example. Only those with true heart will be given a few monsters. The rest of you can go out and get your own for all I care." This took the crowd by surprise. But he went on. "I seek to learn more about this world's monsters. I need the ones who accept these monsters to aid me in taming more monsters across this land." He held another sphere in his hand. "Who will accept this task?"
Very few accepted as only the young was allowed. But those who did were given one or two monsters to start with and their first mission...
Out beyond the forest was a giant tree, Sunfire. There they were tasked to ask where the location of a strange beast that was recently lurking about was. Then find the monster and either defeat it and capture it or tame it as best they could.
"Remember." Zephel would tell them before their journey. "Monsters are a lot like animals. Learn their habits."
