Chapter 27

  Draco quivered as his mind ed to find ahat he just couldn't find ao.

  'Why is the One Eyed Bck Dragon here? Shouldn’t it be fighting with the Zeus and Hera familia, or have they not fought it yet?' Draco questioned.

  'Why is this happening to us? What did we d to deserve this? Am I going to die here? Why did I feel like I should fight it? What gave me the ce to do so?' he questioned some more.

  His thoughts were being a mess, gravitating towards the worst-case sarios.

  'Is it here for me?' a sudden thought popped into his head.

  He didn’t know why he thought so, but the se of it gng at him fshed through his mind.

  He koo well just how strong and dangerous the bck dragon was; two of the stro familia’s in Orario that had a level 8, 9, and a lot of level 7’s couldn’t beat it, much less survive it.

  They all died; then, what were the ces that he and his family survived this, he questioned.

  The sounds of monsters running above echoed within the celr.

  The adults tried their best to keep the children as quiet as possible, while als to hide their fear.

  They could only worry about the safety of their own family, while the town had fallen into utter chaos.

  Thud!!

  A loud thud suddenly resonated from above, the ground shook.

  Dirt and debris flew around the celr, but everyoheir breath.

  They couldn’t afford to cough, make a sound, or evehe.

  Everyone in the celr had e to realize that the colossal creature had nded on the farm.

  Meaning that it wasn’t just passing; it was here for a reason, but for what they didn’t know.

  All they knew was that they had to keep quiet and pray that the reaso lie with them and it just leaves.

  ………………………………………………………………………………………………………

  The sun had reached its peak over the peaceful town, casting its shiny yellow glow across the fields and half-fiown walls.

  The vilgers went about their noon chores, unaware of the impending terror about to desd upon them.

  Without warning, the sky darkened, a massive shadow blotted out the sky.

  Heads snapped upwards as a colossal bck creature plummeted from the heavens, its obsidian scales glinting in the shining light that peeked from above the dark clouds.

  Gale-force winds buffeted the town as the beast let out ah-shaking roar, its jaing wide to reveal rows of serrated teeth.

  "Monster!" a farmer's wife screamed, dropping her basket of freshly-gathered vegetables.

  "Everyoake cover!" Chaos erupted as the vilgers frantically scrambled for safety.

  Parents scooped up their children, elderly residents were roughly shoved aside, and livestock stampeded in all dires.

  Emerging from the forest beyond the walls, a horde of monstrous creatures surged towards the town - goblins, orcs, dire wolves, and other fell beasts drawn by the dragon's presenbsp;

  The sound of shattering wood and anguished cries filled the air as the half-finished wall didn’t stop anything.

  "The walls, they're no use!" a young man shouted, his face pale with terror.

  "We have to get away from here!" The terrified vilgers found themselves trapped between the unstoppable juggernaut of the moampede and the looming shadow of the creature overhead.

  "Gods save us!" an old woman wailed, clutg her prayer beads.

  "We're all going to die!" Another screamed. The first wave of monsters crashed into the town, trampling everything in their path.

  Screams of pain and horror echoed through the streets as the vilgers were mercilessly sughtered.

  A young mother desperately shielded her two small children, praying that the end would be swift.

  Her pleas were abruptly silenced as a hulking orc smashed through the flimsy wall of their home, r in triumph as it snatched up the family in its gnarled fists.

  Across town, a group of retired adventurers who had settled iown rushed to arm themselves, determio defend their adopted home.

  A young girl, no more tha years old, stumbled through the age, her dress torn, and her face streaked with tears.

  "Mama! Papa!" she cried, her voice hoarse from screaming. She ran, desperate to find her family, only to e face-to-face with a hulking orbsp;

  The creature, its eyes gleaming with malice, raised its fist, ready to deliver the killing blow.

  The girl squeezed her eyes shut, waiting for the end. But the blow never came.

  She opened her eyes to see the orc's lifeless body crumpled at her feet, an arrow protruding from its head.

  "Run, child!" a gruff voice called out, and the girl turo see one of the retired adventurers, his bow still raised.

  "Get to safety!" he anded, before turning to face the horde of monsters once more.

  The girl ran, her small legs carrying her as fast as they could.

  She weaved through the chaos, dodging the swinging bdes and the crushi of the monsters.

  Finally, she reached the retive safety of a celr, where a group of terrified vilgers had taken refuge.

  "Oh, thank the gods you're safe!" a woman cried, enveloping the girl in a tight embrace, it wasn’t even her mother.

  The girl just trembled, her mind uo process the horrors she had witnessed.

  Outside, the battle raged on. The retired adventurers, their swords and magiatch for the relentless onsught, fell one by one.

  Their bodies littered the streets, their blood mingling with that of the vilgers.

  The vilgers in the celr huddled together, their sobs eg in the darkness.

  The girl, her eyes wide with terror, clutched a tattered doll to her chest, the only remnant of the life she had known.

  One by ohe veterans were overwhelmed, their heroic st stands brutally cut short.

  "No, stay back!" an old man shouted, shielding a young boy with his body as a pack of goblins swarmed him.

  His agonized cries were drowned out by the boy's terrified sobs. The age seemed endless.

  Broken bodies littered the streets, blood and gore mingling with the dirt.

  Children wailed for their parents, parents wailed for their children, and all the while the bck dragon observed the destru from above, like it wasn’t its .

  Its gleaming eyes gazing upon a particur farm homestead at the outskirts of the town.
