Fantasy Monster Isle (Mena)

[Frostsch]

A bombard of stars streaked across the night sky. Though beautiful, they were equally dangerous. The large balls of fire descended down towards the earth, hammering a small wooden ship in the middle of the sea. Immediately, the night silence was replaced by the scent of burning wood and the cries of grown men.


"The ship's under attack!" One of the crew members yelled.


"W-what's attacking us?!"


"How are they bombarding us from the sea?!"


A myriad of questions erupted from the crew, and none were answered. Some men chose to dive into the waters, while others tried to put out the fires on the ship. Leo was amongst the crew. Unlike the crew, he was plated up in fine armor, standing near the captain. His heart began to beat rapidly.


"Captain, you have to get me safely to Renengrand!"


"Yah, you betcha I would, but the ship! She's burning!" The captain complained. Leo grabbed onto the captain's clothes, nearly pulling him off the ground.


"Must I remind you, Captain, that if I don't get to Renegrand then-"


A large fireball approached the two arguing men, consuming them in its vibrant glow.

Leo had awoken on the beach of an unknown island. The dark sky hovered over him, and only with passing time could his eyes adjust to the darkness. He sat up, staring out to the sea. A distant ship was set ablaze, lighting the horizon. His body was burnt- it hurt to move. The young man raised his hand over his head. "W-what...?" He had forgotten everything.


As if things couldn't get much worse, Leo turned to hear rustling from some shrubs behind him...

I come out of the bushes, seeing some sort of creature on my island. The creature had think blond hair with crystal blue eyes. I realized that he was staring at me and I was to him. I broke eye contact by turning my head down on the beach floor. 'This creature makes me feel funny...' I thought, not noticing a blush come on my face.

The man struggled to his feet, only to stumble back onto his knees. Was it an animal? He eyed down the shrub until the first appendage emerged. The rest of the body came out, revealing a petite girl-like figure. The burn marks across his skin flared, making him feel like he was on fire. Leo winced in pain, collapsing on his stomach. "P-Please, save... me..." His vision faded, until everything went black.

The creature spoke out in a language that I hadn't understood. The creature collapsed on the ground, clearly knocked out. I walked over and debated to either to taste him or save him for later. I decided to save him so when I drain him it would tatse sweeter. I dragged him back to my cave and started a fire.

A darkness had consumed Leo's dreams. There, he saw the familiar flames burn through cities, homes, and flesh. The chaos began to spread, until an eerie silence filled the scene. A fallen city with smoke escaping out into the sky. Why... couldn't Leo remember that city?


The blonde man woke abruptly, gasping for his life. He turned around from side to side, noticing that he was now in some sort of cave. He almost wanted to jump away from the fire- remembering his dream- but realized it was only a small fire to keep them warm. Sitting beside the flames was that familiar, young girl. "Ahhh... thank you..." Leo still didn't know they spoke a different language, "I had a horrible dream. A city was burning down." He rubbed his forehead. Leo would make sense of the dream another time. He held a hand out to the girl. "Anyways, thanks again for saving me. And your name is?"

The creature took his hand out to me, probably a weapon or something. I slapped it away in fear of getting hurt, I looked away from the creature that was in my home. I completely ignored the urge to drain him, it was making me a bit uncomfortable. I just sighed and waited for the creature to up and leave like they do. 'Then I could start the hunting on my prey..' I thought, licking my lips.
