Survivors short POV
Paul was busy counting his lucky stars as he floated there on the water surface with his best friend Joshua, but as the two swam to the nearest shoreline they met up with other survivors in the water, deciding to group up and swim together.
They eventually came across what appeared to be a boat with other people on it. Realizing that they were saved the group swam to the boat, but as Paul turned to Joshua to celebrate their newfound safety, he noticed that he was nowhere to be seen!
Confused, he started to call out with no luck! Pondering there for a moment he decided to take a look underwater, only to see a black serpent latching onto his shoulder! With claws digging in, Paul panicked and tried to yank the creature off him!
But with a scream a tiny tail burst through his intestines! As he coughed out bloody waters, the serpent bit his skull! Killing him out right!
Wisym short POV
Wisym now floating along the river on a makeshift boat that he made with a few others, for they figured it would be faster to head down south on a boat of some kind instead of walking on the dangerous shoreline with small arms fire weapons only. At some point in their journey down the wind, they caught sight of more survivors in the water, but as they encouraged them to swim to the boat.
Wisym notice a small black object swimming in the water, after closer inspection he realized what it was! Panicking he yelled at his boatmen to open fire in the water! Visibly confused, his men were about to ask why, when they saw one of the survivors in the water suddenly sink under the surface!
As more and more survivors went under to never resurface again, they now believe in the weight of the order their senior officer gave them! With sorrowful hearts the men fire upon the survivors!
The survivors quickly realized that they couldn't swim backward because a monster was behind, but nor could they swim to the boat, for they were getting shot at! Thus, having to make the tough decision of either dying by monster's hands or die by your fellow man!
{Those bastards! Stealing my kills! Ugh! I needed those points! Fine then since you denied me my points then I will just take them from you! Let's see how well you do without a boat!} thought Breder with much irritation
Wisym yelled to his men [Do any of you see it?]
[No Sir! Do you think we got it and it sank down the river?] replied a random soldier
[There's no way it died that easy! Otherwise, we wouldn't be in this mess, I just know the dam breaking has something to do with this monster!] said Wisym with much conviction
As Wisym was busy scanning the water surface like a madman a black tail tip burst a hole in their makeshift boat!
[There it is! It's under the boat! Don't worry I got this] said a random soldier as he shot more holes in the bottom of the boat!
[You idiot! You're only making the situation worse!] yelled Wisym as he tore away the weapon form the soldier hands
But it was far too late, the boat was already sinking and sinking fast! And while it was sinking Breder waited with great anticipation for the hunt to continue when he noticed movement for the forest edge by the shore! Cursing out loud, Breder hides behind some rock just above the surface to watch the show.
As Wisym and his men made it to shore, he was puzzled as to why the creature did not attack them when it had the chance! Unfortunately, he didn't have to ponder for long.
Just a second later a giant wolf came out of the forest and jumped the man on his right killing him instantly! Visibly shaken he could do nothing but watch as his men were eating alive, but strangely enough the wolves didn't touch him, and he soon found out why.
For as he looked into that "monster" eye he knew his life was being spared but for a reason unknown to him. But not wanting to stand on ceremony he quickly bolted down the river along the shoreline.
Now Breder watching everything from the safety of his rock was absolutely livid at the giant wolf before him! For no matter how strong the wind or rain, they could not touch the wolf fur coat, for they disappeared in a vapor before they could so much as lick the wolf!
The flashing lighting only gave this reddish tinted sheep horn wolf an even more intimidating presence! Then when its mate followed close behind appeared before Breder with swirling winds keeping its fur neat and clean, its beauty unmatched in this dire storm.
He watched with hungry eyes, with grinning fangs and low murmuring hisses, excitement was all that was present on his face. For he felt no fear or anger to the monsters that just came and stole his points, instead only the shrill thrill of the hunt boiled in his veins! He took in one last look as he hurried away back to his subordinates!
Wolfs POV
[Father what was that thing hiding behind the rocks! The look it gave you sent shivers down my spine!] said the wolf cub
[I don't know son, but I have an idea… what you felt there my son was the hunger of a true monster and not that of a beast! For it doesn't hunter to satisfy its belly but for the sake of killing!] said the cub's father
[Honey that monster killing intent was different…. The hunger in its eyes was different… it's not like that monster that came before… it was also unfazed by are combined presence…] said the wolf mate
[I know! It's much worse! For when the last star monster came to the world, it too had a hunger but a much different kind of hunger! It only wanted to destroy, but for this monster I felt like its hunger was like that of a father looking at an expecting mother.
Whatever this thing is, I'm sure it's much more cunning than the last one! And I'm 100% sure it will come back to find us in the future. But by then I fear I may not be able to kill it.] said the father
[Then shouldn't you kill it now father? While it's still weak?] asked the cub
[No! For when a creature is at its weakest, that is when it is at its scariest point in its life! For it won't hesitate to do something unexpected that even I may not be able to handle, it's better to wait till it gets stronger and more arrogant by then it will slip up in an actual fight!
Remember star monsters are unknown to us, thus it is better to wait and see… for now… let's head home for we have accomplished our objective today… we to inform the rest of the clans of the coming storm.] replied the father as he turned to leave with his pack
Breder POV
As Breder walked ashore, he couldn't stop hyperventilating from the excitement of the future! In fact, he was so excited he made the loudest screech he has ever made till now! Of course, that did not go unnoticed by citizens within hearing shot! But not caring about the consequence of such an act might bring him, he arrived at his minions.
And when he did, he saw that they were fine and raring to go, Tho they were most confused and shocked at their "mothers" sudden screech but shrugged it off as one of her quirks!
And so, he destroyed the hive node to not leave any traces and hoped on Mirielye back, he then headed into the forest only to find that it wasn't actually a forest but clearing that just so happened to have a zeppelin just sitting there in the middle of the field! Seeing the zeppelin just sitting there Breder said
{looks like our ride is here guys! I guess it's time to leave the starting zone!}
