The First Calamity

People throughout the world were witnessing the destruction being caused by beings known as Dragons. They had huge reptile-like bodies with impenetrable scales, these dragons with two horns were causing mayhem in different parts of the world.

 –The weapons are not as effective as we thought they would be against these creatures. They are always moving and even have the ability to fire blasts from their mouth.

The dragons were not easy to kill, they would destroy any upcoming missile with a fireball-type attack. Even if a missile is successfully able to hit them, it would not instantly kill the dragon and there were more than a thousand of them.

–These creatures can recover from any kind of injury in an instant. Only mutants can save us.

On the news, one of the experts spoke up about his analysis.

Mutants were humans that were able to use special powers thanks to a scientific experiment or because of natural disorder. 

Throughout history, there have been many mutants in the world. They possess power like superhuman strength and speed, some even possess power that makes them use a unique ability like the ability to breathe fire or use lightning. 

Humans were watching, as the war between humanity and the dragon continued. Humanity with the help of mutants and their advanced weapon was somehow putting up a good fight against the creatures but so far they have been the ones that suffered more losses. 

–Can we survive this? What does the expert have to say because that's what the human wants to know?

The news anchor asked the experts which have been debating the matter while the battle is still going on. 

–We will survive, please believe in those who are fighting on the frontline!

An expert wearing a military uniform shouted. 

–We have the advantage, no matter how you see it. These dragons might be strong but we have the number advantage. However, I must tell you one thing, this victory will come at a great cost. 

An expert wearing a lab coat spoke up and then after a brief pause, he continued. 

–Many lives have already been lost and I am sure there will be more destruction.

In response to this, the expert who was wearing a military uniform criticized him for being like this. In reality, all of these people were just attention seekers and useless, their opinion had no value other than keeping the people distracted.

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.

The people who were able to do something were already on the move and were already trying their best instead of arguing like this on television. 

*****

Somewhere in the world on a mysterious island, a place with intensely heated magma flowing out from the earth. A Dark black dragon landed carefully on the heated ground like it was nothing to him.

" Are we in the right place?" 

Someone sitting on the head of the dragon asked, he grabbed onto one of the horns. 

It was a young boy with black hair and shiny green eyes, just like the dragon he was riding. The dragon brought his head towards a cliff to allow the human to move over to a safe place.

" Yes Human Child, we are in the right place." The dragon spoke in a human language which was a little terrifying. 

The environment was too harsh for him but the boy didn't complain about it, after landing he looked around the area. 

" Where's the treasure?" The Boy asked.

The dragon did not answer, instead, he looked at the magma-filled terrain. Once he spotted something like a green rock he inhaled a large amount of air. 

Rawrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

The dragon roared, blowing all the magma and debris away from the rock, once everything was clear a platform could be seen with a peculiar pattern drawn over it.

" The 7th seal, it was here!" The boy exclaimed.

" You remember our deal right?" The dragon spoke, " I have given you my protection and our deal ends with this. You already know the location of the other 6 seals." 

" Yes, I will also keep my end of the deal." The boy replied to the dragon

"…I will kill the dragon slayers." The boy spoke as he jumped on the platform that was revealed by the dragon. 

*****

–The battle with the dragons has finally ended. Our heroes have saved us from the monsters.

The message of humanity's victory was broadcasted throughout the world.

The whole world cheered as humanity finally won because of their weapons and mutant soldiers. Despite the sacrifices, they were the victorious ones.

Those who didn't lose anything cheered with joy while those who lost everything today were not happy at all. They have suffered a fate worse than death. 

With a mix of emotions, humanity managed to survive after continuous battles. 

However, another surprising thing happened, the sky suddenly became red when the ground started to shake because of a sudden earthquake. 

"  What is happening?" A civilian ran for his life where he was standing. Other Civilians also panicked when this happened but no matter where they ran the ground shook and cracks appeared all around the world. 

The huge buildings started to collapse and another catastrophe that no one expected has begun. 

For several hours the terror of these earthquakes continued as they frequently appeared and disappeared. 

When it finally stopped the red sky shone brighter than before and people could suddenly spot a humanoid figure appearing in the sky. 

It was a huge and incorporeal human-like figure, people would have misunderstood it for something like a hologram but the pressure that rose from the figure made them all kneel. Some even puked in its presence and the weak humans were losing their sanity. 

" They will come back, the dragons are your enemy. Find the treasure and become stronger, find the seven-sealed treasures of the dragon slayer, and do not lose hope." 

The figure spoke before it suddenly disappeared into the red sky once again. The pressure was lifted and people regained their senses. The sky was also turning back to normal and it started to rain. 

Whoever that was, came to deliver a message to the world about the upcoming calamity. 

Driven by the despair of facing another calamity humanity felt lost, and only a few of them were able to control their emotions and had many unanswered questions in their mind.

Can we survive the next calamity against the dragons?

What are those treasures and where are they?
