My Life as a Mage in Another World

Chapter 9

 The lizard like beast before me clamped it jaw down on my right shoulder tearing my flesh and squirting blood from the wound. Its teeth sunk deeper and deeper into me as I squealed pathetically from my pain and looming fate. My body had no strength left nor did I myself have any drive left to continue living in this state of pain. I watched as the land dragon munched on my shoulder meat, it reminded me of when I used to buy meat from the supermarket. No one would help me no matter how loud I could scream.

 "Please..." I groaned ignoring the pain from my wound.

 I began to choke on my own dark red blood. I spat onto the monster's face. He growled at me disgraced.

 "S-someone..." I whimpered my call for help reaching deaf ears.

 I began to cry. I felt the hot tears slowly roll down my face as I was feasted upon by this creature of the deep parts of the forest. The dragon sniffed my body as if searching for the most tender part of my body. The smell of its breath made me nauseous and I nearly vomited from the horrid scent. It began to chew my left on my left bicep and I turned my eyes and I shrieked cowardly. 

 "S-stop..." I whispered.

 I noticed the the sky was pitch black and the pale moon was the only source of light in the dark lonely night. I felt as if the white moon was my only friend. Time felt foreign to me as one moment the sun made me sweat bullets and I blinked and it seemed I had awoken in the night. I believe I passed out from exhaustion and shock though my memory was hazy at that point in time. The dragon had little muscle to chew from my nearly haggard arms as I had never reached a state of a freakish physique.

 No one came to assist me as my life seemed to fade away before my eyes. How have I not died yet? I wish I was at least fortunate enough a quick painless death. The stars were a truly beautiful sight to watch as the meat of my arm was torn from the bone. My pain never dulled as the dragon's feast continued further into the night, in fact it worsened as it ate more of me. At least my death will not be a futile one.

 Instead, I will become energy to another form of life of this cruel world. Is this not the cycle of life? Stronger, more powerful creatures such as the land dragon prey upon weaker organisms like my myself right? I wish someone could answer my questions. Why did I ever attack this beast of nature? Maybe if I had readied myself further this battle would have gone my way.

 What would others think of my death? I had never thought of this during this dark period known as the end of my life. Someone like Reina would cry a lot, I knew this because she mourned the loss of the unknown person. I told myself that I would never let her cry again and look at the situation I've gotten myself into. Reiki might be real upset too...

 I know all too well Corvus wouldn't give damn. I'll never understand how someone like him once felt the emotion of love once during his life. The land dragon suddenly stopped crunching on what seemed to be my bones and looked in my eyes. Its eyes showed no mercy or compassion for me. Why did I want it? Am I that pathetic? Only a underachiever such as myself would seek clemency in the thing that was taking my life from me. 

 A light came from were my heart would be and it seemed to grow as it left my chest. Must be a hallucination...The light grew in the air and the dragon scurried off into the forest. 

 "Finally..." I said happily to myself. 

 The light was now in a very large egg shape. The light gave off warm rays almost like the afternoon sun. The light was only kind to me and it showed no hostility towards me. The kind light began to take form right in front of my hollow lifeless eyes. I turned into the shape of a person. A young girl in a white dress floated above me.
