Kage,
Kage,
Kage,
(I can’t stop thinking about her now,
What kind of person she will become)

“Once you awaken the body, leave them be,
Do not follow or interfere with them, they travel a path much different to you Shiryu”
“Sir Savage, you claim to be able to see the future, and I believe that,
But my future, at least tell me what my future holds, am I going to live here in the Bends forever?”
“The outcome of your future depends on what you want for yourself, if you do not want anything then your future will reflect that, but even if choose to want something, you might not get it either,”
“What?
You’re speaking in riddles,”
“Hhhhh” the blackmagic dealer sighs,
“If you want to know what your future holds, free the god first, after return to this room, I will have left behind something for you….”
.. …
~~~~~
(I still don’t know what he meant)
Shiryu gazes up at the blue sky snapping out of his reminiscence
The sun roars it’s full heat down onto the young man hurrying his way back to the bends,
This area of Gaia is known as the rocklands, they form a belt around the entire ring, humans cannot survive here as there are no food or water sources, and the only thing that does await anyone who could makes the perilous journey would just find themselves staring at a seemingly endless cliff drop
“Hiiyaahh!” Shiryu leaps off the cliff side
The sky instantly transitions from day to night as the hybrid vaults through the air,
To the beasts this was the area that separated the bends from the mainland
Ever since the dragon extinction war the humans have marked all the beasts as ‘kill on sight’
They send groups of people called hunters to lurk near the rocklands occasionally to slaughter any monster that gets to close to civilization, farming their skin for materials, and their will as requiems,
As dangerous as the bends may seem, the mainland is much more lethal,
Only when the ‘new breed’ is populous, will the monsters finally strike back…

Crrrckk!
Awooooohhhh! ♪
Cawww!♪ Cawww!♪
The Citadel no longer ablaze now barely stands a rubbly mess
(Sir Savage said to return to his room,
I don’t the if he has a room left)
Thum!
Thum!
Digging his claws into an ashy cinder Shiryu scales the side of the structure making his way up
Not even the eagles currently circling the building can spot the young half dragon due to his magic
Thum!
Brrkk!
BRAM!
A wall collapses inward on Shiryu he tumbles into the building looking around cautiously to see if it alerted anyone
(I suppose no one would be suspicious since this whole place is falling apart anyhow)
…..
…..
…..
“What are the odds….”
*Flash*
A brief green wave of light bathes the young man as he pushes open the door to Sir Savage’s abode,
The room in it’s entirety is undamaged,
Shiryu eyes darts around inceptively
An operation table with an assortment of steel and plasma knives hung nexteto it,
Many people have died on that table, that the faint scent of blood still lingers,
In the rarest cases some survived and gained godlike abilities in this very room…
(What could he have left me?)
“So you are the accomplice?” just as the taught was crossing Shiryu’s mind a growly tone melts into his ear,
(Oh shit, it’s –)
Bashh!
Brrrcckkk!
KABARAAMMM!
A set of claws thrust into his stomach the moment he spins around to face the speaker,
Shiryu’s body goes rocketing into the wall like a cricket ball bursting through reinforced steel the young man topples back off the high citadel
(A set up?)
This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.
Crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr hastily digging his claws into the walls the young dragon negates what would have been a back breaking fall
“It makes sense the accomplice would return to erase the evidence.” the murderous voice jumps out the hole created by Shiryu’s body nose diving at him
“Shit shit shit!”
Shiryu release his grip on wall letting himself fall
Thud!
He hits the ground hard startling the beasts in the vicinity
(I thought the new breed were hibernating)
Shiryu lurches himself up in hysteric escape
Thud!
The pursuer lands behind him, its murderous aura covers the area like a toxic gas
Hyhuh!
Shiryu leaps off the Citadel Isle
And–
Whumph!
The pursuer already reaches him using the momentum Shiryu generated by his leap to crush the boy down into the landing Isle..
But before we get into that….
The new breed are in total three new species of Beasts, six of them currently exits a pair of each, they are the only creatures to have names
Geri and Freki, two beasts of immense strength but even greater speed, there is not a single species alive capable of out running these two monsters are called werewolves.
Crusher and Crusha, they posses the lowest intellect but are known as physical weapons, strength capable of levelling mountains and skin that can withstand missile fire, the ogres
Lamia and Dracula, not the least physical of the species, these two are masters of their dark energy using it to bend the elements and human magic to their will, the vampires
They spend most of the time in hibernation conserving strength before they start reproducing, only waking occasionally to display their strength to the others
Crrrrruuuunnccchhh!
Shiryu’s face plants into the solid exterior of a rocky isles
“Plotting with humans!”
Brrrckkk!
“Is banned here!”
The werewolf Freki pummels it claws into Shiryu who still struggles about trying to run free,
For him, trying to fight is not an option.
(Shit, shit, that goddamn blackmagic dealer, he set me up!)
Herkkuh!
Shiryu kicks up rocks stumbling to his feet like a madman
(I have to run, I have to get away)
The murderous presence of Freki is enough make a person feel nauseated
“Grrrrraaaaaauuuuuuuuhhhhhh!”
DOOOOOOFFFFFFMMMMMMM!!!!!!!
The wolf dives under Shiryu’s legs tripping him back down again
“You can’t runaway from me” it bares it’s fangs
“I don’t usually eat snakes but maybe you will be an exception to that”
“Hksssssss!” Shiryu reflexively hisses swinging legs and arms wildly
But werewolf digs its feet hard into his torso keeping him pinned
(I can’t escape,
I..
I have to use it, even if I become more of a monster
I don’t want to die yet)
“HAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!”
Shiryu’s scales tighten become tougher and their color a deeper violet, an intense heat builds up in lungs on which he screams
“!!”
Freki easily darts out the way as intense blast erupts from the young dragon’s mouth
“You’re an interesting reptile”
Ssskccouupp!
Immediately the werewolf digs his claws into Shiryu’s chest,
“You have decent power,
Hibernate right now and I will spare you”
“Eckkk!” Shiryu wheezes his lungs burn as he tries to hold himself from breathing in, out of fear that Freki’s claws may accidentally burrow to deep killing him
“I..
I’ll hibernate, please spare me”
Sspirrrk! The wolf twists his claw slightly.
“I said right now, not on your own timing,
Hibernate
Right
Now
Don’t make me repeat myself,
Close your eyes reptile,
No one will harm you while you’re sleeping.”
“Eck.
I”
Shiryu reluctantly complies shutting his eyes and entering hibernation.
