nAfter the flames died down, he saw the bears corpse curled into a ball, it was charcoal black.

nWalking over to it, he punched it causing it to crumble into dust.

nStaring at this scene he felt excited because he managed to unlock Dragon’s Breath.

nShaking his head, he continued on.

n”Meat, Meat.”

n”Kill.”

nHe got annoyed again as he summoned his Cosmic Sword and killed the two cannibals running at him.

nWhile he stared at the bodies he mumbled to himself.

n”Annoying.”

nLooking at the setting sun, he decided to sleep in his Domain to avoid getting into more conflicts with the cannibals at night.

n”Fuck that.”

nArcher entered and made his way to the cottage.

nHe was wondering if the cannibals worshipped any of the gods.

n”I wonder if those weirdos worship anyone.”

nArcher started walking up the wooden bridge as he continued talking.

n”There are gods and goddesses in this world, I wonder if earth had gods, but if there was, why do they hide unlike on this world?”

n”I know there’s the Goddess of Dragon’s Tiamat and head Goddess Ziena but that’s all.” .𝒎

nAs he finished talking he made his way to a bedroom while stripping out of his clothes and jumped into bed.

nThe next morning Archer woke up feeling refreshed and ready to escape this hell hole.

nGetting up, he puts his clothes back on while casting Cleanse on himself.

nTaking out some orcish bacon and dwarven bread, he started eating the food as he left and returned back to the jungle.

nExiting the portal, his Aura-Detector didn’t alert him to anything so he continued on his way.

nWalking through the jungle, jumping over fallen trees and slapping away horrible bugs trying to bite his exposed skin.

nThanks to his scales he didn’t get bit much.

nArcher had been traveling through the dense and lush jungle for hours, he was finally fed up with all this walking, so he used his Draconic Form.

nAll his dragon features appeared as he leapt into the air, his wings started flapping.

nBursting through the jungle canopy like a rocket, while slashing the branches that got in his way he soared over the treetops.

nBut what met his eyes as he stopped mid air and started to hover in the air, all he could see was a vast expanse of woodlands stretching out before him.

nThe change in terrain was a welcome sight, and he eagerly flew towards it.

nAs he approached the woodlands, he saw smoke rising miles away.

nCuriosity got the better of him, and he flew towards the source until he spotted a clearing with a large fire burning at its center.

nThere were three people milling around the campsite, tending to the flames or cooking food over the heat.

nArcher landed on a nearby branch, observing the two people from a safe distance.

nNoticing that they were dressed in unconventional clothing, the style was that of the middle east on earth.

nTheir weapons were unlike any he had seen before.

nThe people seemed to be wary of their surroundings, looking up frequently as if anticipating an attack.

n”They are on guard against the cannibals, I have to get closer.”

nArcher started leaping from branch to branch until he got close enough to hear what they was saying.

n”Damn the King, why did he send us here, we were only meant to guard the Western border against the Nethania Kingdom, not search for a boy that the church wants.”

nThe man he was talking too replied.

n”Well the King wants to conquer the Nethanians so he can connect the east and west to block the Kheesara kingdom from the northern trade routes.”

nAs soon as Archer heard what the men were saying he launched himself at the first man.

nWOOSH!~

nLanding on the mans back slamming him to the ground, the other man panicked and went for his weapon but Archer wouldn’t allow that and pierced right through the mans chest with his tail.

nLifting the second soldiers body, he brought it closer and ripped out his heart as he threw the body to one side.

nThe one he landed on watched this in horror as he started trembling, before he realized who the boy was.

n”I-I-I-t’s you.”

nArcher nodded as he brought one claw to the mans eye..

n”What were you talking about?”

nThe soldier stutters out.

n‘The K-k-king wants you for the church, they are on their way here now.”

nLooking at the man with a evil smile.

n”When will they arrive, and who’s this king you speak of?”

nThe man calmed down a little seeing the boy didn’t want to kill him.

n”King Isar Kheesara of the Kheesara Kingdom, he has a good relationship with the church of light so he called upon them to hunt you, and two months time.”

nArcher was happy he came across these two, so he continued to question him.

n”You were guarding the border, where is the closest town or village?”

n”Zalat village, a two-day journey to the west, that way.”

nHe pointed to the right as Archer stabbed him through the chest with his tail, instantly killing him.

nCutting out the three hearts, storing them alongside the three gold coins and 200 silver coins he found on the men.

nFinishing with his work he jumped up into the air flapping his wings.

nArcher flew west until the sunset, he found a branch to sleep on so he landed on it, dismissing his Draconic Form before pulling out some meat wraps and started eating as he settled down.

nThe flight wore him out, so he wanted to sleep.

nHe started watching the stars and wondered how Talila was doing, it’s been weeks since he has seen her.

nWhile he was thinking about a certain dark elf, a beast has smelt the meat and slowly approached the tree.

nAura-Detector quickly activated warning him about the beast creeping up on him, Archer was shocked as he quickly looked down.

nHis eyes widened when he saw the tiger looking beast climbing up the tree towards him.

nHe pointed his hand while casting Plasma Shot at the beast, burning a hole right through the things head.

nFalling to the floor with a thud, Archer scanned the area, and didn’t sense anything else he couldn’t smell any beasts either.

nSettling back down, he nodded off.

nArcher was suddenly standing on the edge of a cliff, looking out over a vast blue ocean, and the girl he loved was standing beside him.

nThey were holding hands and gazing out over the water, lost in the moment.

nBut suddenly, without warning, Alexa let go of his hand and walked away, back towards the land.

nArcher called out to her, pleading with her to come back, but she didn’t turn around.

nShe just kept walking, her back disappearing into the horizon.

nHe ran after her, his heart pounding in his chest, desperate to catch up to her.

nBut no matter how fast he ran, Alexa kept getting further and further away until she was nothing but a silhouette in the distance.

nReaching the edge of the land and looked out over the ocean, tears streamed down his face.

nHe knew that she was gone forever, and he was left heartbroken.

nArcher’s breathing was heavy as he slowly opened his eyes.

nThe nightmare that he had been experiencing was still fresh in his mind, and his heart was racing.

nBut as he looked around, he realized that he was no longer standing at the edge of a cliff.

nInstead, he was surrounded by the beauty of the woodlands.

nThe sun was just beginning to rise, and the soft glow of morning filtered through the trees.

nLeaves were rustling gently in the breeze, birds were starting to sing their morning songs.

nTaking a deep breath he felt a sense of calm wash over him.

nArcher sat up as he looked around at his surroundings, marveling at the beauty of the woodlands.

nThe trees towered high above him, their branches reaching out to the sky.

nThe leaves were vibrant shades of green, and the air was filled with the sweet fragrance of wildflowers.

nGetting up and stretching he summoned his wings and tail as he jumped off the branch, flying that way all last night caused him to be tired.

nWhile he was thinking about the wings, he guessed that the more he uses them the better he will get.

nFlying above the woodlands he stopped as he wanted to take in the view, so he hovered in the air.

nBehind him was the jungle and woodlands he came out of.

nBut the terrain in front of him was revealing a breathtaking landscape that stretches for miles.

nThe river itself serves as a life-giving artery, winding through the land like a ribbon of blue.

nThe delta at the river’s mouth is a marvel to behold, a vast network of channels, lagoons, and marshes that have developed over millennia, providing a fertile home to a vast diversity of wildlife.

nThe banks of the river are lined with emerald-green vegetation, which serves as a stark contrast to the arid deserts that stretch out on either side.

nThe grassland desert, it shimmered in the sunlight, providing an otherworldly beauty to the scene.

nAncient sand dunes rise up and fall away across the horizon, their ridges and valleys etched in intricate patterns by the wind.

nThe occasional oasis breaks up the endlessness of the desert, its lush palms and vegetation providing a stark contrast to the barren terrain that surrounds it.

n”Reminds me of the River Nile.”

nVillages and settlements are dotted far in the distance, Archer smelt a heavy copper smell that he is very familiar with.

n”Blood.”
