"Okay, fine!" Zeno grunted and tossed a basic beast taming manual to the pile of cubes and cores, it rolled to the bottom.
Draven’ eyebrows scrunched with an exaggerated stretch of worry. He said "Are you sure you want to use that as anker? This worth a million credits"
"I don't care, I have many of these back home" Zeno rested his jaw on his knuckle, with a half-smile underneath his dimmed eyes. Peaking volumes of his reluctance
Draven thought it was a good deal, since he always wanted to study other elite clan’s secret techniques. Solemn face, he confidently added his level 7 sword into the pot. "Since you are so generous, I would will gladly follow!"
"Good"
Zeno tilted his chin to a nod, his bled of his agreeing anguish; he coughed out his frustrations.
"Are you okay?" Draven asked, acting concerned and tapped his back.
"Yeah, I am fine"
“Have this!" Draven handed him a beer can.
Zeno gulped it down an

In the bleak silence of the forest, birds hushed themselves, as a suspicious stranger crept into the campsite, one foot at a time. A branch fell to the scampering squirrels, he hid behind a stump, with an ear out. False alarm, the elderlyman sighed and straightened his back"It is good thing these youngsters are still sleeping!" And dusted his purple robe. Waggling the silver badge clipped to his breast, reflecting the morning sun; projecting four stars on the ruddy soil. His almond-shaped eyes darted to the three tents, he muttered "Hmm, now which tent will that Brazantun kid would be in?” stroking his burnt beard, with fine remanets of wood chips. "It seems I have to make a guess" hethreaded to the third tent. Draven slumbered, she snuggled closer to his bare chest. Envious to the core, Vernon watched over them with a sour expression. His eyes narrowed; his scan detected a threat within their area. In Dra
Becky went to collect firewood; he lied on the mattress, holding his head within his palms, while he absorbed the content in the manual. His eyes swept through the words before his eyes closed in contemplation. His eyes fluttered open; a profound light shone from his tranquil, blue-jay eyes. “Who knew beast taming, can be so vast? Its almost contradicting the principles of science” Vernon popped next to his ear, and leaned a hand on his earlobe “Well, beast taming wasn’t very popular during my time period but it can be useful when cornered in all sides” “Draven, are you here?” Hearing Zeno’s voice, he shifted his gaze from the book “Hmm” Zeno waked inside, all the way to his bed. He took in a breath of air, said “Draven, uh I just want to say thanks” “For what?” Draven asked. “For saving me” “Whatever, it wasn’t a big deal” Draven turned back to his book, which Zeno recognized in an instant. Sniffing an o
Draven and Zeno hid behind a stone beside the banks of the lagoon, approximately hundred miles away. Eagerly, they waited; watching the small beasts swim, creating ripped around their outstretched heads, as they lazied under the warm sun. *Splash* They turned and gasped. A large reptile crawled up the bank, water dripped off its sea-green scales, as it gleaming menacingly, warding the little critters away. As it hissed out a long tongue, puffing clouds of smoke. Ducking closer into the stone, Draven said "Is that the one?" Zeno whispered. "Yes! That's the Great Salamander!" "So, are you confident in taming it?" Zeno asked, finding it foolhardy. Uncertain, he sombrely said "I don't know, I just want to test it out before I do to real thing!" "The real thing?" Zeno gave a once-over look. 'It this guy crazy? It is still dangerous to test it on a level six beast!' "Okay let's do it!" Draven folded his sleeves
"Yo bro, can you help me with this?" Draven said. Zeno rushed out of his rook, said with surprised tone "I guess, I stand corrected!" Draven chuckled "What are you blabbering about! Go and heal him!" and slapped his back. "Eh? If you do that, won't he strike back with vengeance" Zeno said, out of concern. Draven shot a stare to the beast below his feet. "Will you?" An oppressive force pushing his head to the floor. The Salamander groaned and sent a mental message. 'No, I won't!' Draven squatted down and patted its head, with a tranquil smile. "Then I will treat you well!" "Zeno, do you have any medicine?" Zeno said, looking through his stora
Dust trailed behind, like the cowboys of the old west. Draven and Zeno rode their beasts through the forest, drifting side to side, past the tree trunks. "Yeeehaaa!!!" Draven howled and tossed a boomerang, he jerked to Kai's movements. The boomerang cut through the air and slashed a bird down. Draven clicked his tongue 'Another useless level 1' Zeno balanced himself on his beast' hump and swung his spear to the side, and stabbed a venom wasp dead. Drones followed behind, working overtime, and stored the beast inside a spatial space. Gazing at the distance between them, Draven hopefully said "Kai can you speed up!" "Yes master" Kai speeded his galop and closed the distance to Zeno's beast. Taking a glance to the side, Zeno’s eyes brimmed of surprise, he said "Hmm, I never knew a Salamander could run this fast?" Cockiness in his nature, Drav
“What? Are you insane?” Zeno gripped him by the shirt, his facial features contorted in disbelief and anger.As firm as a mountain in a storm, unmoved by the situation. He replied “Yes, I am”Zeno sighed, a wave of melancholy toned his voice down to a grave whisper “Don’t you know, you can die? Then what should I say to your girlfriend?”“Nothing”Stupefied, blurted “Eh?”Draven freed himself from his grip, said “Because, I won’t die” and winked; displaying the cockiness under his suave smile.Already made up his mind to follow his thirst for thrill, Draven suddenly said “If you won’t come, then its fine. I will go alone”“Bye, Zeno. See you back at camp” Draven flipped off the tree and landed on his feet, and darted to the path, laid waste by the troupe of demonic puppets.Zeno gnawed
Under the shade of a tree, Draven tinkered with his bracelet. "The Legend's Scroll is currently unavailable, try again after twenty-three hours, forty minutes and fifty-two seconds""So, I really can't use the system"Draven tilted his head up, sighing his grievances out "At least, I have my powers"Draven stood up and shook his earring, a puff of blue smoke floated out and formed a figure with four limbs. Kai went on his knees “Greetings, Master!"Draven snapped "What's with the act?""Get up! Stop fooling around. I want you to catch a level 7 beast?"His reptile lips parted, Kai said "Catch a level 7? Master, I am a level 6, I can at most trade blows…"Draven said "Blab... blah blah. I didn't realize I tamed a wuss! Level 7 isn't a big deal!""Yes, Master" Kai replied, he muttered under his breath "Well, it isn't a big deal for you"His sharp senses picked up his grumble, Draven said "Is there anything you
Draven zapped in front of a tree with a coal-black trunk, branching out white leaves. Like a mosquito, he attached his fangs on the bark. A humansized root swished through the air and smacked him away. Draven flipped, teleported backwards. He landed on his four limbs. "So, plants that are fully demonised can attack unlike the new-borns""Let's see how strong you are?"Almost understanding the Salamander's words, the ends of its roots rose off the ground and stabbed him. While dodging, Draven thought 'Hmm, it seems to be a challenge to dodge with this stiff body!'He teleported out of the range, the roots stretched and increased their range.Veins popped at the side of his scaly head, he grunted "Now, it's my turn" Trying to replicate his original move, the pheonix's orbit.A dome of fire surrounded his body, bright cyan fire shielding him from the roots. Burning as bright as a new-born star; roots started crumbling into dust. At the speed of sound,
"Those bastards" swiftly he paced himself forward, fluttering his lab coat with a fierce air. The operators paused their work and made way for him while the supervisor and the captain argued. Luis stood before them with a stern face. "Ahem" He turned to Luis with a wry smile, said. "Ah, Professor" "What are you two doing? Get back to your duties. I will handle this," Luis said, and stepped in front of the controls. "Yes." The supervisor pecked his head like a hen as he retreated. "Capt. Davis, activate the defence mechanism, A-103 and code P456" "Yes, Sir" Capt. Davis said. He pulled a slide from control panel and twisted it before he punched it in. A teal light beamed around the borders. "Defence activated" While on the outside, a transparent membrane shot from thefrontof ship and converged to the end, pushing the nearby rocks away. Luis hands typed codes on screen and slammed
On a funnel of space and light creates a wondrous image, as millions and millions of extra-terrestrial bodies compete, pushing themselves past the obscurity of the distance and the darkness of the space. In a void, a silver blimp flashed through the cluster of rocks. Cannons on the sides rotated and fired. Thousands of rays converged and struck the ginormous space rock. It exploded into thousands of fragments.The ship heaved itself through the cloud of dust, particles ticketed against the surface, drumming on the screen of glass. He tilted his head back, dishevelling his golden hair against the glass as his body spasmed into a chuckle. "Hehe, that was a good one. " A finger flicked the photo across the holographic screen to the next one. Pride refracted in his jay-blues while he appraised the moment. He hummed in remembrance. A crystal cup lifted above his head, sparking brilliance between him and his team, while a girl kissed his cheek under the rain of confetti.A p
Draven honestly said. “I do want to enter one of the Big Five but I am not sure on which one”“Then I can help you” Luis cleared his throat and tossed a cube in Draven’s direction. The cube rolled and morphed into a comfy couch. He signalled for him to take a seat. Draven silently settled himself on the couch and listened.“Each of the Big five have their own speciality, like Luturian Alchemy Academy, which focuses on Alchemy. Sure, there are many alchemy-based universities, but what they lack is the quality of professors, lectures, or the ability to gain resources. Which will be used to nurture their seedlings and naturally bring them fame and reputation across the universe”“Entrium University is known as the number one on white paper because they normally recruit the children of the elite and have the backing of many high-net-worth individuals and families”“So, it is a playground of snotty br
Reading the announcement, the viewers blinked and suddenly bursted into cheers, holographic fireworks exploded in the air.Alight appearedinthe dugout, Osbornestood before them with a weak smile. "I did it!"His teammatesturned aroundand pounced,hisheadwent ditsyand Osborne fell on the bench. Dowsing their mood with a bucket of cold water. Coach said. "Guys, give him some space, he is just beat""But sir??"Coach assured them with a smile. "Don't worry, he is okay. He just needs time to recover by the time we have to go and claim the cup!""YAAYY!"Chad tugged his jacket, said "Sir, aren't you forgetting the group picture?""Oh, yeah..." Coach said, stumped by his situation, he pondered and said. "Maybe, Draven will be fine!""Yes, come one let go see Draven!!" Chad shouted, and like a mob the students pushed Coach along with them.
Draven asked."Anyway, do you guys know who won the match?""Nope, we rushed here as soon you got teleported out! I was worried something happened to you again!" Becky said."What do you mean again?" Amelia asked, clueless about the previous events since Abby didn't inform them of his situation."Its nothing" Becky shook her head."So, the match is going on?"Amelia said. "I think, before I left, Osborne was fighting that McFerreen guy."Rushed footsteps echoed within the halls. Draven shifted his gaze to the door. Arkon entered with a howl. "Hello, son!" while his family followed behind with big smiles. "Oh, my baby," a woman in an elaborate dress exclaimed and moved past her children all the way to his bed."Hi, Dad. Mom?
Next second later,light flashed,couple of bodies fell onto the bed. Emergency lights flicked around the room. Draven blinked, staring at the ceiling with one thought. "Did I win? Or did I lose?" He shifted his head to the side, the door swung open, as a team of nurses and doctors approached the beds. Draven was about to speak, a nurse said. "Doctor, this patient is in a critical condition." "Hmm" the doctor turned from Draven's bed and headed to the bed in the corner. They huddled around, examining the patient. "Doctor, a weird infection seems to be spreading over from his external wounds. I think he is poisoned." Grim expression, the doctor ran a hand scanner down his body."Bythe metrics
"Just do it," Draven shouted. They hesitated before they clicked forfeit. A light befell and teleported them out."Now let's fight!" Pablo flexed his gamma muscles and his feet launched himself forward with a powerful shock wave, adding cracks to the ice.In a blink of an eyes, he shot from one point with an outstretched fist. Draven dropped to a roll. A leg flew to Draven's face. Fire rocketed his soles to the sky. He swayed his sword and shot beams of energy.Pablo sprung into the air, the rays deflected off his chest and from his eyes; he shot gamma rays.Draven tilted his body away and countered with a freeze ray. Draven thought. 'I need to figure out a way to defeat him without contaminating myself.'Draven asked. "Vernon. Does life force absorption work on radio
Fire swirled around his legs, Draven stepped forward, leavingtrailsof puddles in his path. Pablo slowly picked himself. Draven stood over him, said."Pablo, face it you are finished!""I am finished?"Pablo snickeredwhilehe bendedto pick his axe and said. "How can you say I am finished when I haven't even played my next card?"Draven's eyebrows lifted in alertness, "What?" and stepped back.Poison radiated from his pores, his armour melted down to his legs, glowing a radioactive light.A sudden dread hit his core. Draven stepped back and lifted a hand to his face. Pablo radiated a blinding light. He laughed with head back, "Time for you see my full strength!"Draven ran away and shouted, "Osborne, retreat! Retreat!"&
Reaching the end of the berg, the horses neighed and jumped across the large stretch of water and continued galloping. Their bands beeped as they got closer to the Hellhound's location.Seeing figures far in the distance, Pablo grinned and drew out his axe. The others followed and drew out their weapons."Let's rush to victory!"The horses jumped across and their hooves sank in the snow. Controlling their powers, the horses galloped above the snowy water. Suddenly, ice beams sprung from the ground and struck few of them, triggering the safety system and teleported them out, leaving the rest out of formation.A beam sprung before him, Pablo reined it back, the horse lifted itself to a stop; fluttering his fur cape. Pablo signalled them to spread out, a freezing ray shot straight to him. Pablo jumped off
