I stood there paralyzed not wanting to move an inch. The sun has finally left leaving a bright full moon in its wake. the moon's shine being reflected by the bodies of water around.The sky a dark navy blue dotted with white spots shining brightly, over the darkening sky.
I took a good glance at the sky, while still aware of my surroundings to see if any of the constellations can pinpoint my location. Unfortunately none of the stars are familiar. Leaving me confused as to how far away I am from home. At this point I felt a presence not to far off. But just as the feeling came it left.
Looking back at the shadow, I noticed how extremely large it was, no doubt easily towering a fully grown oak tree. The darkness surrounding the beast like a blanket to hide its identity. Most likely using magic to stay hidden. To people mystical creatures are lies, myths, or just stories, lies told to scare kids. The truth that many people don't know is that they're real, and hiding in the shadows. planning how to strike back out of revenge, to reclaim the land they lost centuries ago.
I've had my fair share amount of encounters with these creatures, just because some do cruel crimes, not all are the same. Me myself have befriended some, though I suspect because most likely the only reason they accept me in there life would be for my... "Gift" so to speak.
As I stood still at the standoff against the shadowed figure, I felt stirring and a grunt coming from the man. Never taking my eyes of the shadowed monster I slowly lowered the man to the ground as he finally started to wake up. Sneakily I placed one of my large daggers into the man's belt in case he would have the need to defend himself.
Just as he opened his hazel eyes. A black mist quickly surrounded him from head to toe.
"REISE" I shouted holding my right hand encased in a swirling dark blue with black smoke, up toward the tower.
As the word left my mouth the black mist, quickly disappeared taking the man with it towards the safety of the fortified castle.
Not ten seconds later the beast tensed and just as quickly pounced toward me like a cat, forcing me to jump to the side and dodge its attack. Before hitting the ground I curled myself into a ball rolling a bit then quickly grabbing my other long dagger, and Hell Fire. I stood on a defensive stance ready to defend or attack if needed
Once the beast recovered and turned towards me growling. Quickly I casted a revealing spell the moonlight seemed to finally dispel the shadow and reveal dark forest green scales, with large scars littering its body, especially towards its face. I stared at the beast light green slitted eyes. I was mortified (not that anyone would know), yet curious and most surprisingly...
excited.
