How Does One Become Strong?

Death

Hearing the anger in the screech I know that I won't be able to get out of this without a fight. So, with Streak who was also woken up by the screech I walk out of the cave to face our opponents.

Outside of the cave are 2 Ancient pterodactyls. One of them being the one we met on the mountain and the other appearing to be bigger and stronger than it.

'You get the smaller one and I get the bigger one.'(Jack)

'Okay, Master.'

Making the first move, the two Pterodactyls charge at us with their claws in front. I make a wall out of earth magic to block their charge and jump over the wall. landing behind my opponent I kick it and send it flying a few meters away and separating my fight from Streak's. Quickly getting up, the pterodactyl let's out an earsplitting screech which disorientates me long enough to scratch me on the chest leaving behind a large gash [-30 HEALTH. You have 35 health left] Spinning around, I smash my tail into the beast's head and jump back dodging it's own tail swing.Each realizing the others strength we have a quick standoff which I break by creating earth spikes from the ground and impaling it's left wing the beast then swings it's uninjured wing creating a blade of air that I quickly dodge and then throw my own magic attack in the form of an earth spear which the pterodactyl also dodges. Then, we both kick off the ground and begin clashing at incredible speeds. Neither of us gaining any ground I jump back as the earth crumbled below the pterodactyl, causing it to fall into a pit of spikes which I had secretly created while we had a stand off. Thinking that I had won the battle I turn around only to see Streak quickly losing ground in his battle. Panicking, I run over to takeover the fight while the injured Streak rests. As the pterodactyl and I are fighting I quickly realize that this pterodactyl is far stronger than the other one. Still, as Streak had recovered and joined the fray we were the ones pushing the beast back. I had kicked the pterodactyl in the chest knocking it onto the ground, when suddenly, a powerful attack hits me in my back this sends me flying into a nearby tree.

[-30 HEALTH. 5 health remaining] fighting to stay conscious I open my eyes and see the pterodactyl that I had presumed dead standing in the spot I used to be in, I am shocked when I see glowing engravings running down it's arms. 'It has 'berserk'! The 2 Pterodactyls quickly team up on Streak who is desperately fighting back using all of his trump cards yet still losing the fight. I'm trying to think of any way to help with my body not being able to move when I hear the noise of a treebranch breaking. Seconds later I feel the pain of wood hitting my head

[-3 HEALTH. You have 2 health left, would you like to use the skill 'berserk'?]

YES!

Feeling a rush of power I stand up and charge at the 2 Pterodactyls focused on their fight with the now bleeding Streak. Reaching the battle site I use my most powerful skill 'Depth of The Dragon's Maw' without hesitating. Raising my fist up I send a powerful punch at the 2 Pterodactyls, the punch quickly turns into the shape of a dragons head with it's mouth wide open the Dragon head snaps it's jaw shut over the Pterodactyls and instantly killing one of them(this time for sure) the other one is lying limp on the ground with blood flowing.out of it's wound. I suddenly feel a sense of danger in the air. Looking at the remaining pterodactyl, glowing engravings start popping up all over it's body. 'Oh SHIT!' I quickly try to finish beast off by stabbing it with my claws only to have them harmlessly bounce off of it's scales. As it finishes transforming into a new, incredibly powerful berserk mode an explosion of power knocks me backwards the beast then turns to Streak and waves it's 2 wings creating a powerful tornado which carries Streak into the air and then slamming him into the ground, only leaving destruction in it's wake.

[You have lost the familiar 'Streak']

"No. No NO NO NO NO NO NO!!" I scream at the top of my lungs and charge at the berserk pterodactyl, I jump into the air and use every skill that I have in an attempt to hurt it. Before I could even reach it, it starts to float in the air and make weird grumbling sounds. Out of nowhere a gargantuan 300 foot long semi-transparent pterodactyl swoops out of the sky and instantly pierces my body.

[You have died]

Opening my eyes I see two mighty beings that radiate power.

"...Mom...Dad?"
