The harsh desert sun beat down on the harsh landscape and the lone girl. She gazed around at the barren earth. To anyone else this was a wasteland but it was perfect for her purposes. Dominic looked down at the black manuscript. The name R. L. Stine was imprinted on the cover. It had been three long years since she had made that promise. She had been much more naïve back then and hadn't realized how long it would take to obtain the necessary resources and skills to perform this but now she was ready.
Her long blonde hair glowed brighter as she absorbed the energy of the sunlight. Her eyes glowed purple as she raised her arms. The environment responded to her commands changing and shifting to a more luscious green. Water erupted from the ground forming several large bodies of water. The largest one turned black and became salt water. The ground shook as massive caves formed beneath the ground. That had been the easy part. Now came the hard part. Dominic's eyes turned completely purple as the magic flowing through her grew stronger and she spoke ancient words of power. Around her a theme park began to form around her. She made everything a bit bigger than needed. Dominic smiled at her accomplishment before moving on to form a large residential area. She formed territories for each of the monsters. A densely packed forest for the werewolves. An icy tundra for the abominable snowman and the snowman of Sherpia. Even a forest full of strange plants where the beasts could play their deadly game of tag. Dominic spoke another spell so that game and fish would appear within the territories. The weather was also meant to be different than the outlying desert
Her final task was her hardest and she was becoming tired. Dominic took a deep breath as she began to create a barrier bordering the territory. To anyone without magic the barrier made it look as if the area was just more desert. No way google earth or any other satellites would pick up on this place. It even had the added effect of deterring humans from the area. She did not want an unsuspecting human stumbling in here and getting themselves killed. It would also keep these specific monsters within. They would not be happy being confined like this but at least they wouldn't be trapped in the book anymore.
The sound of heavy wing beats caught her attention. Dominic looked up to see a black dragon pass through the barrier. No not a dragon, a draconidaes. She recognized her friend Ashley, or Keigo as she was called in her dragon form. She shifted into her human form in a flash of blue fire. Ashley was a heavy set girl with shoulder length, dirty blonde hair and green eyes. "This is a terrible idea." Ashley commented. "I don't think so." Dominic countered. "How could this possibly be a good idea to put all these different monsters together?" Ashely questioned. "You didn't see what I saw. They may not be the same but by fought together. Granted it was to kill their creator but still, it gave me hope that they could be something more." Dominic said. Ashley sighed knowing she was not going to talk her friend out of this. Even she had to admit if they could pull off this crazy plan, things might tart to change for monsters everywhere.
"The wizards aren't going to like this." Ashley commented. "The wizards don't like that our magic is stronger than theirs either but there's not a lot they can do about it either." Dominic stated. They both chuckled at this. Dominic glanced at the sun. They had about an hour and a half of daylight left. "Let's do this." Dominic commanded. Ashley hesitated. "You look really tired. Are you sure you're up for this.?" She asked. "I'm fine." Dominic assured. They both shifted into partial forms. They both appeared human save for the dragon wings and tail. Their eyes glowed purple and they had sharp teeth and claws. Ashley drew the shadows towards them and formed a massive canopy overhead blacking out the sun. The two draconidaes stood back to back. "If this goes south you drop this shadow and get out of here as fast as you can. Don't worry about me." Dominic commanded. Ashley nodded. Dominic broke the lock and opened the book throwing it to the ground.
A violent wind picked up as the monsters began to climb out to the book one by one. Each monster was forced to move aside to allow the next to pass. Dominic ignited a ring of fire around herself and Ashley. The monsters moved around them to the boundary of the shadow. Finally, the last of the monsters made his way out of the book. Slappy, the living dummy. This was the monster she had been waiting for. The dummy narrowed his brown eyes at her. "You!" he growled. Slappy spotted the open book and dove for it but the flew through the air as if pulled by a string returning to Dominic's hand. "Let's talk." Dominic said.
