This fanfiction envisions a world where supernatural as well as mythical creatures exist and shaped the world in they're image we center on primus... Or primal earth as it is called, an ancient primal world where gods, monsters, demons and magic reign supreme. In this world, size matters most, but even if your not very big, big brains and grit can help. But with all of this power and mystical energy comes the potential to use it for nefarious purposes. This story chronicles the adventure of Xander hellstryfe, a young sage/swordsman in training and his acquaintance with a creature of legend on his quest to become an unlikely hero. along his way he has numerous encounters with mythical beasts and magical creatures all aiding him to become who he is destined to be...and with the threat of extinction once a gain befalling humanity, Xander may very well be the only hope...
For as long as we can remember our world has been ruled under monsters, mystical beings and entities of unbelievable power or the gods.
It's because of them that we we humans exist today but like all creatures that have been "created" by them, they started off as mere hyper evolved demihumans living in the shadows of powerful, fast, near godlike beasts, the elder beasts, the original rulers of this world who shaped primus in they're image. That is, until the day they stumbled upon the latent magical forces of this world deep in the devine mountains of Holuna and were reborn as Devine beings who purged they're world of their elder oppressors leaving only a lucky few to escape. And so with they're world at peace from the wars waged from beast to beast ,they now began to create life. Till now they kept themselves hidden from humans, but the eldest of them all, zannir felt compassion toward humans and saw them as his children who just needed guidance and felt they deserved the precious divine gifts they had, however his brother; ruko, felt that humans needed none of these things and felt that they were beneath them, that they deserved no better than to be they're servants and should remain that way. Being older, Zannir simply ignored his brothers ranting, much to ruko's anger and contempt. So in an attempt to undermine him he tapped into the dark energy that resonated from him and created races of demonic creatures bent on the extinction of the human race, overpowered and defenseless the humans pleaded for the god's help, zannir appalled and infuriated by his brothers actions in turn created a race of wingless draconic creatures to combat his demonic threat, the battle lasted eons and when it finally subsided primus was in shambles, with flying accusations and mistrust the four races of the primal earth; the gods, the monsters, the magical creatures and the humans all went they're separate ways, and as for the demons and the dragons, rumor has it that a few may still be alive even after the great battle, but as far as we know it's just that;a rumor. Since then, the law permitting species from intermingling with each other has gotten a bit...inconsistent and currently all are coexisting with each other on a daily basis, in fact artisans (or the human children who choose a style of combat or mystical study to learn defend they're villages from rouge monsters or magi's), get to choose they're companions for they're journeys but only if they accept the young artisan, however once chosen both the monster and magical being are bound to the artisan's side and will be dedicated to protect that one person..but in Xander's case, those very beings he meets may very well be the best thing that's ever happened to him...
No wings, no fear
Chapter 1: introductions
My name is Xander hellstryfe, and I'm just you're average sage/swordsman artisan, except I'm friends with by far the most powerful monster in this realm. He is one of the few remaining wingless dragons called fulgururaptor's or"lightning thieves" created by the great compassionate god Zannir , but I nicknamed him Raito.
I'm also friends with 3 other artisans of my Guild in my home town holuna or "the city of the blue moon."
This is my story, well partially my story because it's kind of ratio's as well( but between you and me, it's mainly about me).
"I heard that Xander" a young yet deep voice chimes in
" C'mon Raito, I'm just trying to set the stage for our story!" I respond.
"Look,we both know this story has just as much to do with me as it does with you so no more lone wolf mentality or "oh I'm such a badassery" got it?" he rebukes
"Well more or less my reptilian friend
More or less" I once again respond he simply rolls his eyes and let's out and audible snort through his nostrils and walks off.
Did I mention he could talk as well, yeah, crazy right? Now I bet you're wondering ,what the hell kind of world do you live in dude?! Well it's a bit tough to explain but I'll do my best, it all started the day I was woken up rather...unpleasantly...
