In a land of red volcanic grass , the trees chard black,the sky red with what appeared to be a smaller version of the sun in the sky.
In this hellish landscape Alistair could be seen running for his dear life all while holding a broken sword.
"Shit shit... just my luck."
What appeared to be chasing him was a giant lizard with big yellow eyes with black slits, it waged it's tail as it chased down Alistair it appeared amused by this little human.
Meanwhile Alistair was trying to come up with a plan to combat and survive his current situation, with no weapon to fight with, he thought magic would do the trick but he had forgotten one important thing, he was in the fire dome more accurately called Pyroclasm Spire that all creatures found he all control the fire element and have adapted to survive in places with high temperatures.
'Am going to die it's only been a week, no think think Alistair'
The more he run the deeper he was heading to danger.The lizard growing tired of this little cat and mouse game decided it was time to end this, it opened it's large mouth and fired a fire ball that hit Alistair on the back making him lose his balance and fall.
The lizard took this opportunity and swung it's massive tail intending and crushing this little human. Alistair sensing danger rolled and narrowly avoided getting crushed, after he got up and aimed his arm at it
"Ignis" a fire ball shoot out his palm and hit the lizards face momentarily blinding it , Alistair took the opportunity and hide and observed it looking for any weak points.
After it restored it's sight it started looking around searching for it's prey.It let out a low grow while searching it's red skin was chard black at the point of impact but it dealt close to no damage
'This bastard is not only fast but tough, my sword broke the moment it made impact with its skin , my magic did little damage also and my magic reserves are low what to do' Alistair was on top a tree not so far from the beast observing and planning his next move his hand clutched on the broken sword.His clothes torn , his back exposed and hurt bad that fire ball did a number on him.
The lizard after minutes of wandering and smelling around came and stop under the tree where Alistair hid. Alistair decided to take a gamble if it failed it's his lose.He channelled his magic into the broken sword and added his flames into it
'Flame tongue' the words appeared in his head from the depths of his being.He didn't even notice his mind was solely focused on slaying this monstrosity.The blade in his hand which was broken moments ago extended with an orange gin. He lept off the tree and aimed the blade and the lizards skull the timing was right the lizard hadn't noticed him until he was inches away but it was too late.
A screech was heard throughout the forest followed by a loud thud. Alistair stud onto the fallen beast breathing heavy,he was driven by adrenaline up and till this moment.
"That was insane..." The whole fight was insane,one mistake and he would have been killed but not really actually since the whole fight was overseen by the overseers of the Pyroclasm Spire , in fact all domes had their overseers to ensure safety to all students. But they could only intervene in moments of crisis.
Alistair got off the creature and sat down catching his breath and calm his mind and recover , this battle had done a number on his body his back burnt, his muscles sore and little bruises from falling and running through bushes.
He summoned a healing potion from his dimension ring and drunk it in one gulp only moments later to be covered by a bright gold light.His wounds healed but his muscles were still sore.
"One down..."his hunt was not over.
'I need strength' like a broken record he keeps repeating the phrase over and over in his head. In these lands he needs strength more than anything the rest don't matter...for now
"I continue am not done yet "his red eyes glowed with determination and strength ,he clutched his broken sword lamenting whether to use it with flames tongue but wondering how long would it last.
He got up and started harvesting the giant lizard, getting whatevers useful.
