A massive pterodactyl, glided effortlessly through the sky, its wings cutting through the wind with rhythmic, powerful strokes. On its back, Lucy clung tightly to its shoulder, her short hair whipping around her face as the beast soared above the treetops.
What would have taken half a day on foot was reduced to a mere thirty-minute flight, a testament to the sheer speed and power of the creature, who couldn't hold a candle to some of the flying heros from its own time, but here it was different.
As The wind rushed by, carrying the unmistakable scent of pine and damp earth. I could feel the thrill of the skies beneath my wings, the freedom of flight that came from my Dino form. This was my first real quest in another world, an actual quest like in all the RPG games he had played and every beat of my wings felt like a defiant celebration of it. The speed, the open air, the vast world below—it was invigorating. But we had to be cautious; They were here to deliver a package, and completing too early could attract unwanted attention.
I craned my head slightly, catching a glimpse of Lucy as she reveled in the view. The wind in her hair, the joy on her face—it was clear she was enjoying every second of the flight. The sun bathed everything in a warm, golden light, making the landscape below sparkle with life. This was a perfect moment, one that begged to be stretched just a little longer.
I called out, a deep noice came out of my throat in my current form, but still carrying a familiar tone.
Lucy glanced back, her eyes bright with excitement. She saw I was directing her to forest "You was to explore?" Taking a minute to thing about it.
"Absolutely. Who knows what is down there?" she grinned, eager for an adventure.
I angled my wings, guiding our descent towards a secluded clearing. With a graceful swoop, I touched down, my landing light and controlled, more like a trained predator than a clumsy landing beast. Lucy dismounted quickly, her eyes already scanning the vibrant underbrush, eager to uncover whatever mysteries this forest held.
The area was alive—humming with the sounds of strange birds, rustling leaves, and the faint buzz of unseen insects.
We ventured deeper into the woods, Lucy stopped often, examining every strange plant, every unfamiliar sound with the enthusiasm of a child on a treasure hunt. Her wonder was infectious, and I couldn't help but share in her excitement; the world felt fresh and full of promise, each step, each place and each turn revealing something new and unexpected.
I stayed alert, my senses were more heightened in my normal form now, aware of every rustle and shift in the forest around us. This place was uncharted and untamed—beautiful, but potentially dangerous. But for now, it felt peaceful, almost enchanted. We moved with caution, but the allure of discovery pulled us deeper into the wild. Creatures flitted between branches—small, colorful animals I'd never seen before—and in the distance, something larger let out a low, rumbling call that echoed through the trees.
I looked at Lucy and we had a mental aggreement, we weren't curious enough to know what that sound was, so we head in the opposite way.
"Check this out!" Lucy exclaimed, crouching near a cluster of mushrooms. "I've never seen anything like these. They're not in any of the field guides. This place is incredible!"
I rumbled softly in agreement, my eyes scanning the shadows as I kept watch. This detour was already proving to be more rewarding than I'd expected. It wasn't just about quests and rewards; it was about the thrill of the unknown, the moments of awe that made every adventure memorable. As we continued deeper into the forest, I knew this was what being an adventurer was truly about—embracing the unexpected and savoring the journey.
We eventually found a gentle stream, so we followed it. After a bit of walking we came across a quaint, old house nestled in the forest, its wooden walls weathered by time. The house, though abandoned, exudes a quiet charm rather than an eerie feeling. Vines climb up the sides, and its aged roof looks like it could still hold out against the elements.
Me and Lucy exchange glances before deciding to explore further. The front door creaks slightly as they push it open, revealing a cozy, albeit dusty, interior. There's a faint scent of old wood and dust, but nothing sinister. Sunlight filters through broken windows, the room was bright enough to see properly across the room.
The arrangement of the old furniture and the dusty or broken pots on the floor, It feels like someone once loved this place.
As they explore deeper into the house, they find a narrow staircase leading to the basement. Instead of a typical dark and damp cellar, the basement is oddly organized. Shelves line the walls, filled with strange trinkets—odd-shaped bottles, mysterious or maybe just some shiney stones the previous owners had found, and what looks like a collection of old maps. A small workbench is set up in one corner, with tools that seem to have been left mid-use, as if the owner might return any minute. It's an intriguing space, but there's nothing overtly dangerous or unsettling, just an unusual and long-forgotten room.
After some time inside, they head to the back of the house, where a large garden stretches out. Once beautiful, it's now overgrown with weeds and wild plants. However, beneath the tangle of overgrowth, they can make out remnants of garden beds that were once carefully tended to. Old stone pathways lead through what might have been flower beds or vegetable patches, now overtaken by nature. A few broken pots lie scattered about, and in one corner stands a old stone bench, its structure still managing to stand despite the years of neglect.
Lucy bends down, inspecting the wild plants with curiosity. "This place must've been incredible once," she muses. "It's like nature took it back".
We took a seat at the old stone bench overlooking the garden, this was one of the moments that you can't describe but feel at ease with yourself.
"Can you tell me about yourself, Lucy?" I asked, curious about the girl who always seemed to have a streak of bad luck.
She gave me a sideways glance and smirked. "What, you want my life story?"
"Just the highlights," I said with a grin. "You seem like someone with big dreams."
She chuckled softly, her fingers tracing the edge of the bench. "Yeah, I guess I do." Her gaze drifted for a moment before she spoke again. "I've lived in this town my whole life. Born and raised here, with my grandpa. He's a good guy—taught me most of what I know about the world and everything I know."
Lucy paused, her smirk fading a little as she continued. "I've never really been anywhere else. You know, one of those small-town kids who dreams of something bigger but never gets the chance to leave. It's not that I don't love my grandpa or this place... but I want more."
She leaned back, staring up at the sky. "I want to be a famous adventurer. Not just some person stuck in the same town forever, doing the same things. I want people to know my name, to remember me for something great." Her eyes lit up with the passion behind her words.
"But... so far, it hasn't exactly been easy. Every time I try to make my mark, something goes wrong. Bad luck, bad timing... or just bad choices." She laughed, though there was a hint of frustration in it. "Still, I'm not giving up. I'm going to figure it out, one way or another...not like I have a choice."
I nodded, feeling her determination. "You've got the drive for it, Lucy. I can see that."
She glanced at me, her smirk returning. "Yeah, well, maybe luck will turn around. Either way, I'll make it happen. One day, people will know my name—Lucy. And... and I'll have a really cool and good name, not whatever these guys are calling me."
I raised an eyebrow, sensing something behind her words. "What do they call you?"
She hesitated, biting her lip. "You won't laugh?"
"No, I won't. I had a lot of bad names growing up."
Her eyes widened in surprise. "You really?"
"Well, yeah." I shrugged. "I'm green, and most people aren't. There are more of your color but less... pale." I chuckled, thinking back.
"Like what?" she pressed.
I opened my mouth to answer, then caught myself. "Hey, wait—don't change the subject."
Caught red-handed, she gave a sheepish smile. "Fine..." She leaned in closer and whispered something.
"I didn't hear that."
She sighed, rolling her eyes before mumbling louder. "Jink, okay? Happy now?"
"Jink?" I repeated, the name rolling around in my mind. "Jink... I get it because of the bad luck —Jinx." My smile froze as the realization started to settle. "Wait... Jinx?" I looked at her more closely, scanning her features as if searching for some hidden truth. The resemblance— short wild light pink hair, mischievous energy, the constant streak of bad luck—it all hit me like a ton of bricks. No wonder she reminded me of someone, someone from my world.
Lucy noticed the sudden shift in my expression, her smirk fading into confusion. "What? Why are you looking at me like that?"
I shook my head, forcing a laugh. "It's nothing. Just... the name. It caught me off guard, that's all."
"Jinx," she repeated, frowning a little. "I don't know why they call me that. Maybe 'cause stuff always seems to go wrong around me."
I couldn't shake the feeling, though. In my world, Jinx was someone powerful, someone dangerous. Could this Lucy be her counterpart in this world? Was this just some weird cosmic coincidence, or was there something deeper going on?
Lucy crossed her arms, narrowing her eyes at me. "You're acting weird."
"No, no," I quickly said, shaking off the thoughts. "I just... knew someone with a similar name. That's all."
She raised an eyebrow. "Someone you didn't like?"
I paused, unsure how much to say. "It's... complicated. She wasn't exactly a friend, let's put it that way."
Lucy let out a small laugh, but there was a hint of curiosity in her gaze. "Well, I'm not her. So, no worries, okay?"
"Right," I agreed, though the unease lingered in the back of my mind.
Just then, a rustling sound caught both of our attention. The forest around us seemed to quiet as we turned toward the noise. Someone—or something—was nearby.
Lucy reached for her weapon instinctively, her senses sharp. "Do you hear that?"
I nodded, already shifting into a more defensive stance. "Yeah. Stay close."
We moved quietly toward the center of the clearing, careful not to make too much noise ourselves. Now the chance of a surprise attack decreased, I couldn't help but wonder— what if Lucy really was connected to Jinx from my world in ways neither of us could understand?
The thought made me even more cautious. This world had already thrown a lot of curveballs my way, first raven now jinks, can all of this be chalked up as coincidence. if there was one thing I'd learned, it was that nothing was ever as simple as it seemed.
Lucy glanced at me, a determined look on her face. Whatever was ahead, we were about to face it together."
The rustling grew louder, and before we could react, a wild Razorback boar burst from the underbrush, charging straight at us with its massive tusks. It was much larger than I'd expected—easily the size of a small horse, with bristling fur and eyes full of rage. Lucy yelped, jumping back as the beast's hooves pounded the ground, kicking up dirt and leaves.
I quickly shifted into my animal form, a powerful lion, and stood between her and the boar. But I didn't want to hurt it—it was just an animal, probably scared or in pain. Its nostrils flared, and I could see the froth at its mouth; it was in full-on rage mode.
I growled at the boar to scare it away. I roared, hoping to intimidate it, but instead, it charged harder, its snorts filled with fury. Every time I tried to step in its way or block its path, it only became more aggressive, its rage building with each passing second.
"Beast Boy, do something!" Lucy yelled, backing away further, but there was panic in her voice.
I wanted to. I knew I had the strength to take it down or knock it out, but I didn't want to hurt it. It wasn't its fault it was like this. The forest was its home, and we were the intruders. I shifted back into human form, hands up, trying to calm it down.
"Easy, buddy. I don't want to fight," I muttered, sidestepping to avoid its tusks as it came at me again.
But the boar wasn't backing down. It charged again, and this time I barely dodged, feeling the whoosh of air as its tusks passed inches from my side. Lucy tried to move around it, but the boar, in its blind rage, lunged in her direction.
My heart dropped. "Lucy, get out of the way!"
She stumbled, tripping over a fallen branch as the boar bore down on her. Without thinking, I shifted into a large cheetah and rushed at the boar before tackling it to the side with a quick change to a gorilla before changing back.
"Lucy!" I looked at her concerned, rushing forward. She tried to stand but her legs were shaking because of the fear from the boar, even i felt a little scared at first but years of fighting is allowing me to fight like nothing.
Turning back to her, in my hesitation, I had put her in danger.
I didn't have time to think. I had to act.
Shifting into a large rhino, I charged toward the boar, knocking it off its feet and then slammed it into a nearby tree. The impact shook the tree, and the boar finally stilled, dazed and slumped at the base of the tree. Breathing heavily, I shifted back, my heart pounding in my chest.
I rushed to Lucy, who was already getting to her feet, brushing off dirt with a shaky smile. "I'm okay," she said, though her voice trembled.
"Lucy, I'm so sorry," I said, my voice thick with guilt. "I didn't mean to—"
"It's fine," she interrupted, looking at me with something like understanding. "I know you didn't want to hurt it. But sometimes, we don't have a choice."
I glanced back at the boar, still unconscious but alive. Relief washed over me, but Lucy's words stayed with me. She was right. I couldn't always hesitate—not when people's lives were on the line. There had to be a balance between protecting animals and protecting the people I cared about.
As we both caught our breath, the forest seemed to grow quiet again, the air heavy with the lesson learned.
"The razor back boar sells for a lot at the market. I know you wanted to protect it but.." she wasn't saying anything more, maybe not finding the words to say it.
What could i do. Say to the girl who had done nothing but help me all this time, that she shouldn't kill it to help pay for her and her old grandfather's lively hood. Let the beast roam free and hurt someone else, someone not as strong as me...
The answer was clear.
I walked up to the fallen boar my hand turning into the sword of a swordfish with the electricity of an electric eal. I knew where the soft tissue was and the hard bone that protected the boars was, jabbing into the gap and into the brain and with the help of electricity running through it. I atleast could give it a painless death.
I let lucy take care of dismantling the boar, i didn't want to see that. After sometime we dropped the boar parts next to the city's road, hopped on a cart and to take us inside. The man was kind enough to drop us next the butcher's guild, wait scratch that lucy told me he charged more than the market price for the transport.
I sat outside waited for a good 20 minutes before lucy came back with the money. After showing the proof for the dilevery quest I am going to be sleeping like a baby.
So how was the chapter, i know it was a little slow but the main reason for it was the whole world around them. There is so much to explore, to find, to be afraid of.
I been writing chapters with detailed description of the place around them. How is it, does it add to the world building or not. i like to know on that.
To all those who read the story, please review, it helps the story out a lot and motivates me to keep writing more.
