As I walked down Clydesdale Drive, I reminisced about the time when I was assigned to find and kill a very destructive Ma’ayan Hurricane. I confronted it near the ocean. This was a very bad idea, but since I am a son of the storm god Dahesis, I could have electrocuted it. Dahesis is the god of the sky, lightning, and storms. When I turned on Quarry Boulevard, I saw the shadow of the Dragon Hunter's HQ loom above me. I then observed a group of dwarves push a cart of newly forged weapons for the arsenal. As I walked in, I went straight to the arsenal and was already there when the group came out of the elevator. They wondered why I was there when I saw a familiar face in the crowd. “Hey, Barren!” I exclaimed. Barren Thorngage was a godson, like me. He was one of my best friends in training camp over in the province of West Riner. “What’s good dog? What’re you…” “Henry Allegra, please report to Madame Allegra’s office on the fifth floor. Henry Allegra, please report to Madame Allegra’s office. Thank You.” A voice buzzed over the building-wide loudspeaker. Before he had any chance to respond, I had to rush off to Amber Allegra’s office. She was the leader of the Dragon Hunters, and my sister. We got along well, but when she called me to her office, It wasn’t just to spend time with her brother. It was serious business. I took the elevator to the 5th floor. I rang the doorbell after a lengthy walk from the business wing. I listened to the very melodious roar of an Alarakan Sandclaw as I waited for a response or the door to open. “Come in.” I heard Amber say. I walked in and she was at her desk, looking at a photo. I remembered that today was the day Mom and our Stepdad were killed by an Underworld Bonewing. The date was October 8, 2019. My family was on vacation at the beaches of Saraka. Amber was also born to Dahesis, so she had the same powers as me. My brother Aaron was born to my stepdad. I was 14 then. Somehow, I could see supernatural creatures, and no one else could. That was only for a while though, when we learned a few years later Amber could also. Maybe it was family-related, maybe something happened when I was little that allowed me to see them. But I swear I couldn't see them until I turned 12. Aaron was 7 and he was playing in the waves. Then, a portal appeared in the ocean, a few feet from him. I ran to grab him but he was pushed back by a force and landed on the sand. “Do it again!” he shouted, clapping. After that, a dragon flew out of the portal. It looked really freaky, a skeletal dragon that breathed black fire, had nethersteel for claws, and generally radiated evil. It swooped down on Mom and our stepdad and they disappeared. I shouted some random words in a weird language. The dragon shrieked and flew back to the portal. I saw a glimpse of a giant gash along its side and a scratch along its eye. It shrieked one last time, glared at me, and dived into the portal. A man raced over and said I’d make a good hunter. I asked him what a hunter was and he told me. I was the oldest so that made me in charge. I accepted his invitation and we all went with him. A year later, I had completed training. To be continued...
Old thing I did for school and chose to publish on here. Special thanks to my 7th grade english teacher for creating this assignment.
