*suuuuuuuuu* *fuuuuuuu*
(Will) “well……… fuck.”
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Nobody moved…….. We all just stared down the beast for what seemed like an eternity, but couldn’t have been more than a minute. The beast just looked at us as if looking at a bunch of cornered mice.
The……….. monster…. Had the blackest fur, darker than the night….. It may be described by other people as a black bipedal wolf…… but all I could see………. was the shadow of death himself…… I didn’t dare to even speak.
*puh*
*Puh* *puh* *ptetetetete* *puh*
As well trained as they are…… one of my men couldn’t take it anymore and openly fired, causing a domino effect of gunfire……..
Before we knew what happened, there was blood flying through the air…… but not the beast’s blood….. Not with our meager weapons.
*gyaaaaaaaaaaah!*
Cole started to scream in agony……. His arm….. Nowhere to be found…. The “wolf,” however, could be found standing directly in front of Sam, its arm erect above its head……. And then it came crashing down…… directly crushing Sam……
Her body exploded into a bloody pulp…… bits of her flesh scattering through the air…. Her blood now staining everything.
Before we could wake up from our shock, the beast was already beside another of my comrades….. he brought his arm down yet again, this time choosing to bisect its target. The beast vanished yet again……
It lunged towards Chris, latching onto his head with its jaw…….. on his face…. The utter look of despair. The beast flung its head back and forth, with Chris’s body flailing through the air. The beast bit his head off, consuming it whole; sending his body flying.
This time when the beast disappeared, it didn’t reappear. Every few seconds someone else would either explode into a gory mess, or be cut into pieces.

Throughout this entire ordeal I could only watch on, mouth agape, as my comrades died one by one.
When I finally regained my senses, there was nobody around me….. Only a big gory mess…. And a beast standing directly in front of me. It stared at me……. Its eyes showing nothing but contempt.
I closed my eyes, and waited for death to seize me…. But it never came. Curious, I opened my eyes. No longer was I surrounded by death……. What replaced the red floors and the creature from hell….. was a room with white walls, like a scene from heaven. It was Noah’s room.
(Will) “How did I ge…… NOAH!”
Realizing the reason for my being here, I quickly rushed out of the room and straight towards father’s room.
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Of the 30 cleaners, only 20 remained. When I told father what happened, we set out to retrieve my brother. Of course when I say we, I really mean my father, a squad of cleaners and I. because small arms didn’t work, my father decided to take out the only grenade launcher we had which only had three rounds remaining. We only brought 4 cleaners because if we took anymore there would be a lack of protection at the compound.
When we arrived at the scene of the carnage, there was no one there. I frantically started looking for any signs of my brother and the other two that were with him, however, the only thing I found was a knife…… the one Noah uses…..
Noah………………… what happened to you? My eyes started to moisten. I don’t know if it was in fear of losing another family member……. Or if it was because deep down…. I already expect that I’ve lost him. I started cry.
Surprisingly I didn’t feel any hatred for the monster that did this; I mean I should, but I only felt hatred for myself. Hatred of how weak I was.
I couldn’t prevent this because I was weak, because I didn’t have enough power……..
And in this world…… power is all that matters...

Dragon Travels
Dragons. Mythical creatures that inspire awe and wonder in cultures all across the world. Wouldn't it be amazing to befriend such majestic beasts and go on an adventure with them? To be a dragon rider and live through a tale of epic proportions? Ryder, who's so obsessed with the idea that he nicknamed himself as such, certainly thinks so. Sadly, he lived in a world where such creatures only exist in fiction, and one where none of his peers or family shared the same passionate interest in dragons like him. Every night, he would fantasize what it would be like to live in a world where they do exist, and one day, his fantasy became reality. Upon landing in a new world, he found himself in the company of cheery and naïve plant dragon who was just as excited as him to be the companion of a dragon rider. After that, they encountered a worldly earth dragon, who followed them under the guise of guiding them while hiding her own dark secrets. Lastly, regarded by many as The Terror of The East, a dragon so powerful and terrifying that it's known as a demigod, lowered his pride in order to escape his thousand-year prison and joined Ryder's merry band. It isn't all fun and games as the Goddess who brought the teenager here has sent him on a mission - to rid the evil forces that had risen in the world and threaten the balance of the realm. Together with his three dragon companions, Ryder traveled across different lands as he found himself involved in the matters of both tragic and entertainingly eccentric individuals. So, if you like How to Train Your Dragon or just dragons in general, isekai adventure stories, and/or a found family-esque story with witty banters and interesting characters, then this is what you're looking for! Note: This is an anthology series, therefore the arcs are not presented in a linear fashion. There will be recurring characters and arcs that continues story threads from previous "chapters", but, for the most part, each arc standalone as a complete story, so you can pick and choose what you want to read. If you watched Star Wars: The Clone Wars cartoon series before, it's basically like that.I'm still relatively new in writing, so I would appreciate it if you'll be kind enough to provide feedback!
