Chapter 1

Monsters. They are and always have been monsters. Goliathus is only one example of a monster, but there's something special about him. Every monster has a God, Goliathus is the God of all Goliaths, he creates their life and can sometimes even destroy them.

The old days were tough for all the monsters, Earth was their original home, but they didn't start off as the monsters we know and love today, they were different. Very different.

Goliaths evolved into the Goliaths they are, but really, what were they on Earth? Wolves. All of the Goliaths started out as wolves. Krakens were birds, Wraiths were cats, Behemoths were rhinos, and Gorgons were a mix of spider and insect.

Goliathus though, feared that life would turn out horrible if the monsters stayed on Earth, so when the monsters found out what they were destined to become, they knew what they had to do.

The animals/insect spider thing gathered in a house one day, and made a decision. David, the wolf, Blue, the bird, Cinaca, the cat, Jay, the (small, baby) rhino, and Kate, the spider.

"I figured out a change in the dreams my people have been having." Blue says as he flies through the houses' window. The animals selected are the leaders of all the clans of wolves/birds/cats/rhinos/spiders.

"So have I." Cinaca says while she walks through the cat door. David sits in the center of the room, waiting for the others to arrive while thinking about his own people. What did we do to earn this? Why are we being rewarded for doing nothing?

"We need to figure out what is happening in our clans!" Blue pronounces to the three currently in the house. Jay and Kate crash through the door and sit down to face the other clan leaders.

"Sorry." Kate says, out of breath. "We ran into traffic." Jay says, also out of breath. Blue nods and clears his throat. "Our clans are falling behind on production of food and everything we need to survive, but that matters not."

"My gifted one, Kelinia, has spoken to me about a dream of hope for us. She said we need to board a ship, a ship to shear, then our colonies will be saved. How? I don't know how we'd get on a ship, but we have to try!" Blue explains proudly.

"What about the other clan members? Would they be coming with us?" Kate asks from her spot on the wall. Blue looks down to think, but David already knows the answer. "I'm sorry, but we can't risk more lives than we must."

"I understand." Kate says in a soft, quiet voice. "We must get moving immediately." Blue says in a firm voice. "We need to know if our clans need this evacuation."

"Agreed." David says. How far must we go. He asks in his mind. "Blue, your idea, you lead the mission." Cinaca says. Blue nods and prepares to fly out the window, but David stops him.

"Is it a good idea for the clans to team up?" David whispers in Blue's ear. "Well we will find out soon enough. Will we have fights? Yes, but we'll get through it, I'm certain of it." Blue whispers back.

Blue has been and still is the wisest clan leader out there. He doesn't want power, he simply wants to survive and keep his clan alive as long as possible. David nods and turns away from Blue to face the others.

Blue flies out the window and returns to his own clan. "It's our turn to tell our clans, they won't take it well, but we must do this, for survival." David says as he goes out of the house from the cat door.

The others follow and go their separate ways. "Tomorrow. See you all tomorrow." David says as they exit his line of sight. "Cinaca wait!" David calls out to her. Cinaca was and still is his only friend outside of his own clan.

The black and white cat turns around and faces her friend with eyes tearing up. She shakes her head. "See you tomorrow." She simply says as she walks off again. Cinaca.

David slowly walks toward his own clan with a saddening feeling. What's wrong with Cinaca? She would never refuse to talk to me like that.

"David!" The gifted one of his clan, Joseph, calls out. "Yes?" This is strange for David, no one has ever come this far out from the mountains. "The mountains!" He cries out. David already sees it. The normally snowy mountain has lava pouring down their what
