Monster of all Monsters

Chapter 5: Home relocation

Karma was hunting with two other members of her community, hoping to make a quick buck with a decent catch. They spotted one of the animals that the humans had recreated and 'accidentally' released.

One of her two hunting partners, indigo, an elf who's gender she still can't figure out, was about to use an electric bolt spell when it descended on our prey. Marley, her other partner, spotted it first, and alerted both of us. We strengthened our scent canceling and camouflage spells.

It was a two headed... Monster, that resembled dragons of legend. It had metallic looking silver armour along it's back to it's tail, on it's wing bones, it's chest, and the outside of it's claws and legs. The wings and underside were covered in orangish scales, which looks just as durable as the plating. The heads had plating almost completely covering them, with sharp teeth and relatively small eyes.

The two heads seemed to communicate with each other, suggesting differing personalities. Despite it's appearance, we were hopeful about taking it down. Right when we were gonna take a shot at it, we were restrained by scouts from the main city.

We were allowed to watch, but not interfere, so we left, in search of something else.

Five weeks later

Brother and I have grown significantly, I'd say we're around 60 feet in length, a 75 foot wingspan, and about 15 feet tall. My brother seems to get agitated towards the end of every week until we go and hunt something. I think I understand why aswell, I can feel a constant pull to hunt and eat, but both of us have the will to ignore it.

A few weeks ago we got to direct our frustration at a few adventurers who came to poke the sleeping bear. They no doubt were quite surprised when they woke up at HQ from the revive center.

We tend to direct our agitation for something useful, last week we dug out a massive burrow, had to blast the walls to melt the sand because we hit the water line though. It's quite well built too, I doubt we will ever have to do anything to it aside from make it bigger because there will never be a need to repair it.

Three weeks prior

The current human king, Robert Smith, was not sure how to feel about the escape. On one hand, it was just like the movies, on the other, it was an ecological disaster. He was about to begin a meeting with an elven ambassador, probably to talk about the situation.

He stepped through the doors, spotting the elf he's come to call "Tim", because the elf had never told him his name. Tim had an uncharacteristically serious face and there was someone with him, the elven military leader, Saffron if he's not mistaken.

He's not.

Tim spoke first. "Sir, I'm sure you think we are here today to speak about the incident that happened a few days ago. However, that is unfortunately not the case." He hands the king s folder containing photographs of what looks like a two headed dragon, which is impossible, dragons don't exist

"What is this?" The king questions, setting down the images.

Saffron speaks up "Those are photographs of a predatory creature that were taken over the past two weeks. It has an alarming growth rate and seems to passively absorb the surrounded mana. It doesn't need to eat from what we can tell, but it grows as fast as it eats. I'm sure why you can imagine we are here."

"What, you want the kingdom to do something about it? If you have these photos the it should be on your lands, unless you're trespassing.'
