??? POV

' MOVE!"
I collapsed to the ground and felt the wind being knocked out of me. A hand reached down and pulled me up and I saw two girls and a boy, all encased in armour, looking at me. "WE NEED TO KEEP MOVING!" The girl who helped me up screamed, as she and the others sprinted off. I turned to look behind me and saw countless monsters, straight out of science fiction advancing while a dragon flew overhead. I ran after the others but the monsters were coming, wave after wave, closer and closer...

3rd person POV

"Get up! Time for school!' A cheerful woman sang while pulling open the blinds, sending light streaming into the room. The figure on the bed groaned and rolled over, covering his face with a pillow. After lying there with their eyes open for a few minutes, the figure arose and dressed in the same sleepy manner before heading downstairs. After a quick breakfast, he picked up his heavy rucksack and slung it over his shoulder, before heading on his way.

After a boring day of Art and Chemistry, the teenager headed home. As he walked past a small river, he felt a cold wind rush past him, yet this wind felt somewhat colder than any he had ever felt before. It was as if his very soul was recoiling, as well as his body. Feeling the urge to look behind him, the boy turned but he was all alone. "This is that point in the western where the tumbleweed goes past" the boy quipped to himself before smiling and turning back to his original direction. As the boy walked forward, towards the other side of the river, he noticed the water had begun to froth and churn. Wary, he stepped back and a figure exploded out of the water.

Standing before him was a vaguely humanoid figure around 9 feet tall with green scaly skin, claws and huge crocodile jaws. "What the f-" The boy's sentence was cut off as he ducked just in time to avoid a swipe that would have taken his head clean off. The monster, roared before lunging. The boy sidestepped, narrowly avoiding the monster once more, but falling onto to the ground. He leapt up and quickly began to make a run for it, the monster hot on his heels.

Right when the monster was about to catch up to him, an arrow whizzed past the boy's head and struck it in the throat, causing it to stumble. The boy turned to see a blonde girl in neon green armour, wielding a bow. She unsheathed two knives and charged the monster. She bobbed and weaved from the monster's attacks like a ballerina before slashing the monster's throat, it rapidly disintegrating into silver dust. She then turned around, blowing the hair out of her blue eyes and putting her weapons away' My name is Angelica, the daughter of the goddess Britannia. I need you to come with me.'
