Legend of the Immortal

Loss

A thousand years ago, the first ever recorded traces of magic came into being.

Along with this newfound "Magic" came humanities' greatest threat yet.

Dragons.

Beings of power, strong enough to destroy mountains in moments.

Capable of bringing ruin to kingdoms by just pure brute strength..

When all hope seemed lost, this "Magic" evolved, it mutated into an even stronger strain of magic.

The old one being labelled "[Skills]" whilst the newer one being labelled "<Gifts>".

These <Gifts> were strange to say the least, others could read minds, some could create flames at hot as the ones in purgatory itself and many more.

Of course, not all gifts were created equal.

Some were weak while others far superior to the above mentioned.

But the strangest thing about these gifts was not this but the fact that they only manifested themselves in women.

Now a thousand years later, the current dragon king, betrayed by his kind due to the kindness he had shown towards humanity, bestowed his powers unto a newborn child. With his last breath, he said in a hoarse voice,"The war will end soon. The law of the jungle: Only the strongest will win stays true. The prophecy has come."

13 Years After the Dragon King's Death

"Bell! Wake up! Breakfast's ready!" I heard my father yell from downstairs.

"Coming Pa!" I yelled back, running out from my bedroom and rushing downstairs.

The fragrant aroma of food was extremely enticing!

Excitedly, I sat down and started to devour the food on my plate.

Finishing up breakfast, my father and I went out to get weapons from the attic and headed to the market to stock up on arrows, potions and the like.

Soon after, we headed out of the 'Safe Borders' and set out to hunt.

"Son! Today's weather is fine! We have to make sure to catch some rabbit and deer!" I heard my dad say in a good mood.

I nodded happily as we proceeded to hunt.

~Evening

"We got quite lucky today! Double the normal catch plus a deer! We'll eat like kings tonight Bell!" I walk in the front, happily humming a tune.

Then it was as if something hit me mentally. I froze up, seemingly unable to move.

I felt a presence behind me.

"Pa...?"I turn around after gathering my courage.

All I saw was a terrifying figure.

It's eyes staring through my very soul.

"You're not my Pa...where's my Pa?..."

"HA! Your Pa? Your 'Pa' is dead. Can't you see? I crushed him! How weak and pathetic he is wouldn't you agree?"

"No! Pa isn't dead...he just-he just..." I quietened down as I saw his corpse.
