Valerie's POV

My eyes are closed, I steady my hands that hold my bow and arrow as I breathe in the fresh cold air of the forest and breathe out for a couple of moments.

I open my eyes and aim my arrow at a deer and then I fire an arrow and hear a whooshing noise.

It ripped through the air and hit the deer in the head, the deer fell to the ground with a thud. Another kill for me to sell at the butcher later today when I return home.

I slip my bow on my back and then stand up on the branch I was crouching on, as I jumped down from the tree branch I heard a noise as I landed into a roll on the ground.

l then quickly pulled my hood over my head and quickly slipped behind the tree I was perched on before.

I listened to the forest around me for a couple of moments to make sure no bandits or dark creatures were around but heard nothing else, so I stepped out from my hiding place; 'probably an animal' I thought.

Cautiously I walked over to the deer and carefully pulled the arrow out of the deer's head and put it back in my quiver.

I picked the deer up and placed it on my shoulder and began the long and peaceful walk back to my home on the outskirts of town.

I was walking along the same worn down trail I walk almost every day going to and from the village. I heard a screech and stopped. 

I dropped the deer and grabbed my bow and prepared an arrow and looked around for any danger and saw nothing.

I put my bow on my back again and picked up the deer and started walking but stopped as I heard the screeching again.

This time it was closer to me, so I dropped the deer and then ran and jumped up on to a tree branch and climbed high into the tree.

I pulled my bow from my back and grabbed an arrow and looked around me for the source of the screeching and saw nothing.

I waited a couple of minutes looking and listening around the forest to make sure there was no danger and found none.

I put my bow on my back and slowly climbed down the tree to the forest floor and when I was finally on the ground I quickly pulled my dagger out of its sheath on my arm and looked around once again.

Nothing. Could be seen? I walked back over to the deer picked it up for the second time and started jogging with the deer only to be chased by one of the dark creatures.

Moments later I dropped the deer once again and sprinted down the trail leaving the deer.

I was checking behind me and saw it was right behind me and catching up, so I ran deeper into the forest, not wanting to lead it to the village or my home.

Then I stopped a long way away from the village and then up a tree onto a branch. I Then prepared myself to have to jump onto it and kill it. I waited a few moments the creature was below me just as I was about to jump onto it.

I was then knocked out of the tree by something and crashed into the ground rolling and hitting my head on a rock making a gash on my eyebrow.

Then moments later, I stopped rolling then I jumped up and grabbed my sword from the sheath on my waist and quickly looked around.

I saw what knocked me out of the tree, it was another one of the dark creatures. Suddenly in slow motion, both of the creatures came running at me, so I ran at them and then last second I jumped over them and landed in a roll and then quickly standing up and turning around facing the black scaly creatures.

I was starting to get dizzy from hitting my head on the rock but shook my head and then brought my sword ready to fight the creatures.

As I was about to run at them, an ear-piercing roar came from above, I looked up and saw a white dragon and its rider diving at the creatures.

As I was looking at the dragon rider I was tackled to the ground by one of the creatures and hit my head on the ground again and becoming short of breath.

Then my surroundings became blurry as black dots clouded my vision, the creature then bit into my shoulder and I screamed out in pain.

The creature suddenly stopped and fell to the ground with a thud and then a blurry figure came into view, then everything became black.

Then suddenly I was in an eerie dark library I didn't know where I was and I was scared so I started to panic my breath became uneven and my palms started to sweat everything was spinning I heard whispers so I spun around but nothing was there just a pile of books. I heard the whispers again this time it was louder so I spun around again my head was still spinning as I looked to where I heard the whispers this time there was a book that was open on an altar so I slowly walked up to it and touched it suddenly flashes of pictures appeared in front of my eyes they are of dragons and fighting and the dark creatures that plague the lands but what scared me the most was the last picture it was off Stygian the general and leader of the dark creatures I stumbled back and fell and then everything was black.
