*** 63 days later ***

Sixty-two days; I think I have been keeping a good count of the days gone past. I have been surviving easily when I thought I was sure to be dead in my first two weeks. Haven't given up yet something created a rift and I need to find whatever created it and make one myself.

Then get back home.

Climbing out of a little makeshift house that I made out of the slimy wood and bone fragments that I tore off of the creatures. The muscle and flesh don't decompose and the little maggots you see in them are just full of liquids.

I fucking hate that I need to survive like this but rather that than be the one having the maggots grow out of me. My living space is small and just for the sake of keeping hidden from the night roamers.

Larger creatures almost the size of humans have bone sickles for their hands. They are easy to kill but they are relentless when chasing me. I head out of my little house and glance down at my hands completely covered in shadows.

My clothes have been dirty for a long time and I have been searching for ways to clean them but they are just covered in blood and other biomass excrements. There are obvious tears in it and I have started using the hide from other creatures to patch it up.

I have gotten more used to my abilities and can use them pretty much without hassle. Because of that, I am now able to use my shadows as armour to cling to my body. Right now I am covering my hands to be able to use them as claws.

I am yet to get a full transformation.

I then glance around and use my grappling hook ability to pull me away from the island that I am staying on. I have found even larger landmasses with larger creatures. The lower you go down this place the larger the creatures get.

I have been purposely avoiding most of them, there are burrowers in the ground that can sense me even though I am not touching the ground.

I then crouch down on top of the higher bone-like beams, "Come on, come on," I mutter to myself as I wait for the flying creature to fly underneath me.

I threw myself off of the edge diving onto its back, I used my shadows to absorb the impact of my landing. The entire creature lets out a scream and shakes because that impact must've hurt like a bitch.

I run up towards the head throwing a shadow leash around the body, the creature then instantly ducks with its backside to the ground. Stab a shadowy spear into its body of it while the wails grow louder and louder.

I feel like my ears are going to bleed.

I then beg, "Please just calm the fuck down!"

I thrust another spear into the same wound and the creature stops flapping its weird wings and straightening itself out. I am desperately clinging to the body as I let out a sigh of relief with a chuckle as I loosen the leash.

"Just... fly forward. Show me around the place."

Learned that these creatures aren't stupid and they just don't want to die more than they want to eat. These flyers are incredibly passive until you touch them so I thought maybe I could use them to get around.

This is my first attempt and I feel like I am going to shit myself.

The creature, now named Buddy is the first one that has let me use him without just wanting to break under my weight. I sit down behind its back and let it go where it wants to see what is what.

No point in surviving and not finding more things to learn about, that way this will just be me being happy with this situation and I just really want to get back so that I can murder that son of a bitch.

"Where are you taking me, Buddy?"

I can hear its soft growls, not in response to me but rather its obvious aggression towards me. The land masses further and further from my makeshift home are getting smaller and smaller. It would be even harder to move around on foot here.

Then in the dark-purple mist in the distance, I see a silhouette of an even larger creature floating through the air towards us.

(Design idea)

I then groan to myself, "Calm down... the massive void dragon doesn't care about you because it would use up more energy trying to eat me than I would be able to give it."

Buddy isn't even scared, the two of us are fucking small compared to that... but the problem is that this means that there is something that it needs to eat and that something is probably the thing that is supposed to eat Buddy.

It directs its head towards us as we fly past it, I wonder if Kai'Sa ever saw any of these creatures. It is strangely beautiful in the mix of all the grotesque and gross. 

The Leviathan Dragon, which is my name for it right now, its breathing sounds like howls. We finally created a lot of space between the two of us and into a more open area with no landmasses around us.

This must be an open space. I wonder if I can hold out long enough to cross the gap... I haven't gotten tired of using my abilities for a long time. 

"What do you think Buddy? Leading me to a nest? Maybe to another larger landmass hiding somewhere in this massive open area?"

I then chuckle to myself, as I look down below. At least I am not terrified of heights. But I know that down there is a ground and that it doesn't just shift into liquid. I have seen larger creatures crawl their way up trying to catch Buddy's kind.

Maybe there is an ocean of blood down there with even creepier shit.

I am flying around for hours till I finally see a landmass just like the others but a lot larger almost like an actual island rather than the smaller patchy islands connected to the bone structures around the area.

At least it is different. All that I care about.
