Walking through the school halls, he weaved through the crowd of students, unnoticed. That was, until he caught a familiar head of curly hair in his view, a height above the rest.
Draven lowered his blue-tinted sunglasses.
"Hey! Draven" his senior approached him. Draven's brows stretched in wonder. 'How did he know it was me?'
'Maybe it is broken.' Draven clicked the device attached around his neck and pulled it into his pocket.
Draven forced a wry smile. "Hey! Rocco, what up?" and took his fist bump.
Rocco said "Good. I am preparing for my finals"
"By the way, I saw your matches. Mn, you were epic!" He punched his chest. "Even that guy Osborne was good!"
"Thanks"
Draven smiled. "Yeah, I know he is. He is my rival after all"
Rocco said, "Well, rivals are a good thing! Thanks to my cousin, she pushed me beyond my limits and you know the rest"
Punches and kicks resounded within the dome. Her hair swayed to the breeze as the middle schooler climbed up the stairs. Theglass dome entered her sight. 'Why do I have to call him?’ She paused her step. ‘Wait, is he fighting?’ She squinted her eyes. "I think I have seen him before..." She walked inside and shouted, "Rocco! Rocco!"The moment Rocco craned his neck,Draven punched. Unable to dodge, Rocco tilted his head and his punch struck his left cheek. Rocco skidded back. Rocco planted his feet on the ground and shouted, “Violet?”Draven held himself back and turned around with a smile.She shouted. “Don't you know what time it is?"Rocco gave her a sheepish smile. "Lunch?”"It's now past three. Momma is furious! Come down fast""Sure. I thought I still had time."Rocco turned to him, said"Draven, is it okay if we take a break?""Y
"Hmm, now where should I start?" He said, overlooking the valley below him. A pixie like figure floated around him and rested his back on his soft hair. "I think here would be fine. Plenty of privacy for our experiments."Draven said "Yeah, give me a set of wings""Wings?" Vernon cast his host a strange look.Draven said. "Nah, forget it! A flying ability would better!"“Okay”-16,000 expHis eyes rolled back; a wave of information flooded his brain. His legs turned tipsy, Draven gritted his teeth, trying to balance himself and tumbled over the cliff. Draven squeezed his eyes to the pain.While falling, his muscles tensed and his heart raced around the clock, pumping a new strain of power in his blood vessels. Draven’s eyes glowed green, as a force seeped from his body and halted him in the air. Draven looked down; a grin formed on his face. “I am flying! Haha”His eyes focused on the b
"Seriously?" Vernon lifted his shoulder, totally guessing. "Maybe the system thinks it isn't hard for you?" "Whatever!" The sky gracer dipped his head into the water. His eyes searching for his figure. He popped his head up and shot straight to the sky with a ear-thrashing screech. Vernon asked "Why are you hiding?" "It's call strategizing!" Draven's hair stood up, as the beast dived from the sky, spelling the destruction of a launched naplam. He crashed and blew the water apart, sending most onshore. It raised it wings to a halt, almost touching the waterbed, scarring rest of the gilled beasts away. The sky gracer swan through the water like a bulet. Draven snickered and the moment it got closer to him, he appeared in front and slapped the bird on his face. Unlike he expected, the bird screeched sonic beams. Before the attack struck his face, Draven manipulated his hands and pushing himself to the side and launched
Draven lifted his hand off the bird as his symbol of a hand holding bolts of lightning marked the beast’s blue feathered forehead. "There. Now you belong to me""What is your name, beast?" Draven said.The sky gracer lowered his head to the floor and stuttered "Lefty"His eyebrows lifted while Kai chortled in the background. "Lefty? Why is your name Lefty?""Cuz I often get confused which way is right"Draven exclaimed, "Seriously?" and smacked his forehead. ‘I can’t believe Kai picked an idiot. Next I will choose the beast’ "No, that's what my parents said... But now I know which way is left and right!""Whatever, this name wouldn't do!" Draven said, kneading his temples."How about... How about?" Draven's eyes glanced around his surroundings for ideas.Kai blurted "Maybe... Nimrod"The beast croaked, "What?"Draven took a glance at the beast. The beast shook his head.
Southern winds added thrust to their wings, jesting the travellers to their destination as they graced the clear skies. Golden feathers shimmered in the light, displaying the royalty of his race. With a stretching call, it echoed against the mountains. Leading the way, he darted along his company behind and sped straight to the crevice. Suddenly, the mountain quaked, tumbling rocks down, as a path showed itself from the wall and a minute later, the rocks moved and sealed the gap in-between. Like it never existed in the first place. The eagle stepped out of his company with his confident posture and tall figure, which brimmed of authority. He lowered his head to a pail of water and quenched his thirst while the rest unloaded the cargo from the caravan. The locals, were beasts of various size, shape and species. The locals approached the caravan with a hospitable attitude and guided the travellers, after receiving an approving nod from their guardian, a l
A hoove touched his back “You are quite strong my friend”Draven glanced over his shoulder and snapped “What do you want?”The goat looking beast said “Its not what I want but something you want?”“Follow me”Draven said “Hmm, what do you “Suddenly the goat was walking a meter away “Are you comig?”“Ugh… uh” Draven thought ‘It is just a damn goat acting cool… why am I hesitiating?’He walked along the goat and said “So goat what do you think I want?”“The name is Billy. Billy the goat”Draven puffed a laughter out. “So billy”Billy casted Draven a glance, said “I can give you what you want, or even more like champion”“Champion?”Passing the streets of merry beasts, Billy said "Yes, I need you to fill in for one of my games"
“Ratchet! Ratchet! Ratchet!” in the dim lights, the beast crowds chanted while in the ring, a giant rat swiped his tails across and tripped the human to the bloodied floor. Before he could get up, Ratchet pulled him by the legs. "No! No please" Replying with a growl. Ratchet swinged him around and tossed him to the ropes. "Owch" The crowd howled in delight, seeing their enemy under his foot. Holding onto the ropes, the human struggled to move in time. Ratchet rushed to stamp his head. “Thud” A water shield appeared in-between. He growled and pushed his claws, cracks appeared on the shield. The human grunted and rolled out before the shield shattered into pieces. In a flash, his grotesque hands grasped him by the torso and lifted him in the air. The man wiggled in his grip. The spectators hammered the stands with their feet. "Kill him! Kill him Kill! Kill" He threw the human in the air and pulled his legs. His muscles bulged and ripped h
The elderly man slammed his sword on the ground, sending a powerful gush of dirt to the spectators. "My name is Morris Stein" Morris said "Come let's get this over with" waving his sword. Draven chuckled, finding this setting humorous. 3 2 1 Fight!" They both dashed in, Morris feinted an attack and moved past him Draven shot a wing backwards. Expecting it, Morris jumped forward with a knee kick, aiming for his neck. Sensing danger, Draven took flight and sent a wind slash. He swung his blade and dispersed his attack which pushed Morris backwards. Morris stabbed the sword on the ground and murmured "Not bad" Orbs of lightning orbited around his body, electrifying figure. Draven face twisted, with an awful aftertaste. 'Not another lightning user' Since every lighting user reminded him of Osborne, his rival’s shadow. Draven shot a barrage of wind blades. One step at a time Morris moved forward while dodging his attacks. An orb fel
