Humans and Dragons have hated each other for centuries. But this loathing only grows worse when a wizard locks the dragon race from all of humanity. Now, generations of humans have never seen a scale of one, and the scariest they've ever been is in stories. The dragons have fought endlessly to destroy the magic that leaves a barrier between the two, only to create a curse throughout the land in the process. Food has become scarce. The land has turned brown. Only human flesh can contain their hunger and keep their species alive. But not all those who dwell in this land mean harm, and some would rather accept each other than lie a finger-or a talon-on their hearts.

Of Monsters and Us Prompt:
The land has been ravaged by disease and famine. Creatures who were once thought to be extinct or imaginary have risen from the shadows, and humans are now the prey. Write your creative side of the story- the monster hunting the humans or a hero who emerges victorious against their attacker.
