My heart pounded hard against my chest and my feet hurt from all the running. The trees grew thicker and the Forrest got even darker. Only the moon light was visible through some brunches . Screeching noise came from behind me and flame spread , And i quickly ducked behind the nearest tree. The Forrest smelt of burnt barck, the smell made my nose sting. The screeching was getting closer. I jumped up from behind the tree and started to run again , I was breathing so heavily it felt like I would collapse at any moment.
The evil hungry creature was now moving swiftly and quietly . The sound of sudden silence was eating me up, it was making me nervous. I was so scared it felt like I was gonna
Wet my pants , and that would not be a nice thing at all. I would hate my self forever if that ever happened.
The silence was broken by a collapsing tree  right be hind me . That's when I realised that this creature was on my heels. I tried to run faster, but that was about my speed limit. " Danm it ! "
I tripped over a broken tree branch and landed hard on the ground .
" Shit ! " A ugly looking three headed dog like creature stood over me . It had scales instead of fur and its eyes were pitch black . The three headed dog growled and his razor sharp teeth were like grinders. It opened its mouth wide open wanting to swallow me hole and as if it changed its mind its teeth started moving around like razors. I don't know what came over me , but I shut my eyes tightly and screamed. " Father.! "
I never knew my father , but here I was calling out for him  at a time like this .

I heard the three headed creature screech in pain . I slowly opened my eyes to see what was happening.
A lion the size of a tanker stood over the lifeless body of the creature.
I could not believe my eyes.
What was happening here , first the three headed creature and now  a lion the size of a war machine .
" Mihos..." Came a charming young voice from the dark shadows. The lion backed away and walked over towards a dark figure standing in the shadows. It was a figure of a young man. The man climbed on the gigantic lion's back with ease .
I really couldn't believe what I was seeing and hearing. I knew the name Mihos from somewhere, but I could not recall where .
" Hello, Ryaniel. . " The man said .
What....why did he call me Ryaniel ? I was questioning myself.
" You have grown .." he continued.
I could not say a word I was down struck.
" I have come to tell you Ryaniel , that you have been chosen..  "
" What .? " I managed to say.
What did he mean by chosen .. what was going on.?
" You shall meet with two others at the fall of night,when the blood moon rises. ..Where students gather"  he said then vanished into thin air.
What where had he gone ... And wait what did he mean by ... You shall meet with two  others .... Wh...where students meet ..... What was going on !?

I quickly opened my eyes kicking the blankets of me. I was dreanched with sweat... " Ohhh , thank god it was a dream .." I said out loud...
