The Last Guardian

Chapter 1

(Trico above: he's sooo cute I want one!!!😘😂)

"Cmon Rain can't catch us!" Called my friends as they ran past my family's hut. I looked at my mother, she smiled, and nodded telling me I could go and play with them.

"You can't run from me!" I called as I ran through my home village chasing my friends. They ran out into an open field with knee high grass and a small dirt path in the middle.

I saw one of my friends,Sach, staying low to the ground in a patch of taller grass. I started making my way slowly behind him. When I was just a few steps away from him I pounced,tackling him and rolling on to the path. He got up giggling and continued to run around. I shook my head sending little dusty clouds into the air as I got up I saw something glow from the corner of my eye. I walked over to it and it was a medium copper disk with symbols along the edges and every now and then a streak of green light flowed through them then disappeared again. It was half way buried and the other half looked dirty like it had been there forever.

I stepped closer to it then reached out to it and as soon as one finger touched the rim of it everything went black.

**************************************

As I started to see daylight I heard heavy breathing in the background, but it didn't bother me since I thought it was just father sleeping. I slowly got up feeling sore. I opened my eyes and saw that I was not in my hut, I was in a damp half lit cave. I looked at my hands, arms, feet, and legs. I was covered in symbols that was on the disk.

There was a growl behind me, I snapped around, startled, and saw a giant feathered beast with a long tail, eagle wings, three toes on each foot which there were four of. It had the head of what looked like a dog and cat mix. It had a big metal collar on which was attached to a steel chain that drove into the solid stone ground. The creature looked just like the legend Trico. It was a beast long though gone from being wiped out by humans.

"Hello? Are you okay?" I asked walking slowly and cautiously towards him. He started to move and once he saw me his eyes went from his original black to bright purple which from the legend meant aggressive, angry, and ready to fight. I jumped back again frightened. It tried to stand but fell back down and yelped in pain. I examined him from where I was and I saw a human spear in his left thigh and I could just see on in his right shoulder. He was laying on his right side which made it even harder to remove the spears.

The legend says that Trico had loved to eat barrels. No one knows why but there were about three barrels nearby in the cave. There were also some old temples and relics around. I climbed up some stairs up to a high rise column where there was a barrel. I jumped up and pulled myself up, got the barrel, and took it back toward Trico. I dropped it near him then stepped back weary of the fact that he might see me as a barrel. His eyes turned a faint yellow which meant that he saw the food and he was hungry.

He inched closer to the barrel then scooped it up, positioned it in the back of his mouth, bit down on it sending little bits of wood flying. He was so majestic, elegant, and just flat out awesome!

The only things left to do is fill him up, get those spears out, and find a out of this cave. But... Who knows what else is down here and what am I going to do with Trico?
