The screams of people filled the air. Cities that were once full of life had become piles of rubble. Huge creatures, called beasts, roamed the streets, destroying everything in their path. No one knew where they came from, but they were unstoppable.
Weapons, walls, and even the most advanced machines humans had built were useless against them. In just a few weeks, the world fell apart. People could only run and hide, living in fear every single day.
In the ruined city of Nueva Athera, Kieran, an engineer, crouched behind a broken car. His wife, Elis, held their young son, Jonas, close. Around them, the sound of growling beasts echoed.
"We can't stay here," Kieran whispered. His heart pounded as he peeked over the car. One of the beasts, as tall as a bus and covered in black scales, was sniffing the air nearby.
Jonas whimpered softly, and the beast's glowing red eyes snapped in their direction.
"It heard us!" Elis gasped.
Kieran grabbed a metal pipe from the ground, his hands shaking. "I'll distract it. You run when I say."
"No!" Elis grabbed his arm. "We stay together!"
The beast roared, shaking the ground. It was getting closer.
Far away, deep underground, Dr. Elan Rayyan stood in a secret bunker called Ark 17. He watched a screen showing the outside world. The beasts were everywhere. Cities were destroyed, and more people were dying every day.
"We're running out of time," one of his assistants, Mara, said. "The beasts are spreading too fast."
Dr. Rayyan frowned. He had been studying the beasts for years, trying to understand them. He believed they came from another world, but no one had been able to prove it.
"If we can't destroy them," Rayyan said quietly, "then maybe we can tame them."
Mara looked confused. "Tame them? You mean control them?"
Rayyan nodded. "Yes. If we can bring them to us, maybe we can find a way to stop living in fear. Maybe… they can even help us."
Above ground, Eren, a scavenger, was hiding behind a pile of rubble. He watched as a beast, smaller but just as dangerous, sniffed around for food.
Eren had survived by staying quiet and keeping hidden. He had no family left, no friends. He lived alone, moving from one ruined city to another.
"Just keep walking," he whispered to himself as he gripped his spear tightly.
The beast moved away, and Eren let out a sigh of relief. But then, in the distance, he saw something horrifying. A giant explosion lit up the night sky.
"Another safe zone… gone," he muttered. He clenched his fists. "How much longer can we live like this?"
Back in Nueva Athera, Kieran's family was cornered. The beast loomed over them, roaring loudly. Kieran stood in front of his wife and son, holding the pipe like a sword.
But just as the beast raised its claws, a bright light flashed behind it. The beast stopped and turned around.
Another man appeared from the smoke, holding a strange device that glowed blue. He pointed it at the beast, and it let out a confused growl.
"Run!" the man yelled to Kieran.
Kieran didn't need to be told twice. He grabbed Elis and Jonas, and they ran as fast as they could, leaving the beast and the mysterious man behind.
In Ark 17, Dr. Rayyan stared at a sketch on his desk. It was the design for a device he had been working on for years: a gateway that could summon the beasts to one place.
He called it the Rayyan Door.
"This might be our only hope," he said to Mara. "If we can bring them to us, maybe we can tame them. Maybe we can fight back."...
Todays....
It had been 300 years since the beasts destroyed everything humans had built. Now, the world was peaceful. Humans and beasts lived together, thanks to the invention of the Rayyan Door.
When someone stood before the door, a beast that matched their spirit would come through. If they could tame it, the beast would become their lifelong partner.
Instead of countries, the world was run by eight powerful guilds. Each guild had its own specialty:
1.Silver Fang Guild: Experts in taming strong beasts for protection.
2.Azure Wing Guild: Famous for flying beasts used in travel and trade.
3.Crimson Claw Guild: Trained fighters and their combat beasts.
4.Verdant Grove Guild: Worked with beasts to protect the environment.
5.Shadow Prowl Guild: Specialists in spying with stealthy beasts.
6.Iron Hide Guild: Used heavy beasts for construction and labor.
7.Ocean Tide Guild: Controlled the seas with aquatic beasts.
8.Starlight Ember Guild: The smallest guild, known for taming rare and mysterious beasts.
These guilds worked together to keep peace, though they didn't always agree.
In the bustling city of Brightstone, people lived happily with their beasts. Some beasts were small, like birds or foxes, while others were huge and powerful. Every child dreamed of the day they could stand before the Rayyan Door and tame their own beast.
A boy named Ben was one of them. He stood on the street, watching in awe as a rider passed by on a large winged beast.
"Wow! That'll be me one day!" Ben said, his eyes shining with excitement.
His older sister, Emma, smirked. "You've got to wait until you're older, little brother. Besides, you might just get something small, like a rabbit."
Ben crossed his arms. "No way! I'll tame the biggest, strongest beast ever!"
Emma laughed. "Dream big, Ben. Dream big."
The Rayyan Door
At the center of Brightstone is the Rayyan Door, a massive stone arch that glowed faintly with blue light. Every year, people came from all over to take part in the Rite of Taming.
When someone stood before the door, a beast would appear. If they managed to tame it, the beast would become their partner for life.
Ben and Emma sat near the Rayyan Door, watching as a young girl stepped forward. She looked nervous but determined. The door glowed brighter, and a sleek, black beast with glowing green eyes walked out.
The crowd gasped. The girl held out her hand, and after a moment of hesitation, the beast stepped forward and nuzzled her palm. The crowd erupted in cheers.
"That'll be me someday," Ben said confidently.
Emma ruffled his hair. "We'll see, kiddo."
Even though life seemed peaceful, the leaders of the guilds were worried. Strange things were happening with the beasts.
In a meeting of the guilds, Ryan, leader of the Crimson Claw Guild, frowned as he spoke. "The beasts aren't behaving the way they used to. Something feels off."
"The world is fine," said David, leader of the Silver Fang Guild. "Stop scaring everyone."
Ryan slammed his fist on the table. "Ignoring this could bring back the chaos of the past. We need to act before it's too late!"
Back in Brightstone, Ben couldn't stop thinking about his chance to tame a beast. But he didn't know that his journey would be much bigger than he ever imagined.
Peace wouldn't last forever. And Ben's role in the future of the world would change everything.
