On one of the most famous mountains of Gaea, Bolgia, was a deep and overgrown forest. The sound of crickets echoed in the forest, while trees swayed.

Somewhere deep in the forest, on it's earthy soil was a cricket which was happily making noise. A mantis suddenly jumped to attack it, but the moment it did a shadow covered it's body and then... It vanished. Up in the sky a bird flew, with it's prey on it's mouth. In an instant, what was being preyed upon wasn't the cricket but the mantis.

The bird swiftly flew up, before perching on the window of a dark and overgrown tower. Inside, sinister laughter echoed.

A man fully covered in a robe was laughing, as he looked at the various materials of unknown origin on the table.

"Four more ingredients, that's all I need. Then I can start working on my grand project, my goal in life!".

When the bird landed on the window, he immediately turned to look at it.

The man leaked killing intent the moment it saw it, "Wait, I'll make that three more left...".

The bird noticed the man's killing intent, so it tried to fly away but it was all too late. The man drew a magic circle on the air and said, "Snake Lightning!". The magic circle shined and an electric spark streaked out, zapping the bird almost instantly.

Up in the skies, no! In the heavens, a weak and wrinkled old man was looking at these events. He shook his head as he mumbled to himself, "I've become too weak, to the point that I cannot even descend and save my people... My world! Haiz... Is there really no other way? If only I foresaw this world's destruction sooner, maybe... No, nevermind".

The old man looked like he lost all hope, but suddenly his eyes lit like a light bulb.

"That's it! Why don't I ask for help from my seniors..."

~~~

Somewhere, thunder roared as the heavens cried. In the middle of the raging storm, a black colossal dragon swinged it's massive claws at a tiny but agile human. With it's every swing the wind howled, and it's sheer force would shatter mountains.

Boom!

The tiny human was hit, he was sent flying towards the nearest mountain creating a human shaped crack. The human placed his right hand out of the crack, he wiped the blood trickling down his face.

The human spoke, "Tia, why don't we end this already?". He then conjured a spear made of ice, before he charged and jumped towards the colossal dragon.

"Sid... Sid... Sid! Wake up!"

Sid slowly opened his eyes, looking towards the blackboard and noticed that there wasn't anyone else there except for him and his friend. He looked towards the window then he asked, "Wasn't it A.P?".

His friend lightly tapped his head and said, "School's already finished, let's go".

Sid exclaimed, "What‽" and immediately stood up. He looked at his watch, before he sighed.

"I'll go home then", said Sid as he walked out of the classroom.

"Bye Symon, oh right thanks for waking me up", said Sid as he waved goodbye.
