Not a day went by without a beast swooping from the sky, destroying building with a single breath The beast was a reptile and bird in one, with large membranous wings and a long whip-like tail, covered from its head to sharp claws in armour like scales. Its glowing eyes and needle sharp teeth devouring all in its path Fire rained down on the villagers causing the sky to become murky and black with days and years of billowing smoke. The sun never shone anymore, not able to break through the inky black shroud The beasts themselves were the colour of the smoke, covered in a layer of ash,which rendered them all but invisible to most, But one. One who was different than all the others, that had eyesight like the beast. Who could see clearly though the choking air, see people far far away. He was like one of them, but was not Living the life of a village dweller, but not quite like them. Always in a state of limbo, not quite man, nor beast. This boy, he hated the beasts, for continuously destroying his town and the people he knew and loved Yet, he could not stop summoning them, Those, of which he was part.
