[[ slay the dragon, move on ]]
The tree is an an impossible white with a thick inky black liquid pooring out of it, running between the bark.
As the kid approches he begins to get sleepy.

The flesh pulses out of the ground and the kid is filled with an unshakable urge
"I'm gonna eat" whispers the child

"The child can't slay the dragon, he can't even move"
The kid glares at the raven
"Don't speak to me like that"
The raven perches itself on your guitar and says to the kid
"Does the child want to slay the dragon?"

It feels warm
and safe
[[everything goes dark]]The kid feel new cords vanish in and out of existence entire ballads play in seconds.
The distant cry of a raven pulls the kid out of this trance.
[[emerge from the tree]]The kid sinks his teeth into the raw flesh, blood drips down his chin as he pulls up.
the kid attempts to stand but collapses
[[go to sleep]]
You hear the fluttering of feathers as you fade away.The kid wanders through a bright red forest, each tree seems to be a perfect copy of eachother.
The kid continues down the path for seeming hours.
Then days.
Then months.
Eventually the kid sees it.
A bright white figure with no face and long thin limbs sits in the middle of a clearing... praying
[[Back away]]
[[Approch the figure]]The kid sinks his teeth into the raw flesh, blood drips down his chin as he pulls up.
the kid attempts to stand but collapses
[[go to sleep ]]"All you can do is kill" It speaks to the kid in a deep growl
The kids eyes flutter open feathers brush against his cheeks, Yellow eyes burst alive behind him as the mangaled body of a giant raven looms over him.
"You'll never take a real breath" The raven looks The kid up and down disecting them with their eyes. The kid takes deep breaths and shakes with fear. The raven pecks their shoulder with its beak.
"You're scared now child, where has your pride gone?" The raven lays its broken wing on the kids head, blood dripping down their forhead.
"You can't face a bird and you want to kill a dragon?" the raven gargles as the words seem to crawl through its beak.
"I-I have to-" the kid is cut off as the Raven spins Their around and stands on the kids chest.
"YOU CAN'T CHILD" the words explode out of the ravens throat with fury as blood sprays the kid.
[[sing to the raven]]The kid hears music in the distance and follows it through the void, finally he reaches something.
The kid's arm comes out of the tree, covered in Ink and vines, They take a breath of air and fumble for their guitar.
The raven flies onto the kids head seemingly chuckling
"curiosity will kill you child"
"Curiosity will kill the dragon" The kid says back almost playfully
[[kill the dragon ]]The kid and the raven follows the sound of the music
"Raven... what can I call you" The kid ask as they walk down the path
The raven ponders for a moment
"You can call me... Jeri" the raven says
"Jeri?"
"I think it sounds nice" the Raven answers confidently
The two continue down the path following the music
They finally arive at an old diner with a giant skeleton laying on top of it.
As they approach the lyrics bleed through, a man with a golden voice sings a love song.
"earth angel, will you be mine?"
The song is only inturupted by the rythmic skipping of the record player.
[[enter the diner]]The kid backs away into the scarlet forest the figrure begins to twitch
It parts its hands revealing black palms
Its face splinters becoming an inky black mouth with hundreds of needle like teeth dripping with black liquid
"B A T H O M E T" the figure says in a gargly voice and with sudden jerking motions it moves towards you.
[[Strife]]
[[run ]]The figure snaps up as The kid approaches its skin tears and a face is formed as inky black blood drips from its wounds. Sharp jagged teeth fill its mouth leaving little room for its torn black tongue.
"Child... who is your god?" The figure speaks in a whisper
"Knowlege" the kid answers
"what does god ask of you" The firgure ask again slowly moving closer to the kid
"Kill the dragon" the kid answers
The firgure smiles and brings its hands up carressing the face of the kid, who shudders with fear.
"You're going to kill the dragon" The figure says with a chuckle.
"Do I have to kill you" The kid says unconfidently shaking with fear.
The figure pulls its hand away and stops smiling.
"Have I offeneded you?" The figure says conserned
The kid doesnt answer, the figurs attention shoots to the guitar on the kids back
"will you play me a song?" The figure ask, smiling with its jagged teeth
[[play a song ]]
[[strike the figure ]]The kid brings his weapon up and slams it down on the figure, the inky liquid gushes out of a fresh wound.
The figure grabs the kid in his palm
"Slay the dragon? the kid can't slay a man" the figure speaks in a deep gravly voice
"False men must be purified"
The false man flings the kid into a tree
The kid collapses into the ground
[[get up ]]The kid turns and runs
The kid hears branches crunch behind them, they glance behind them
The figure is right behind them weaving through trees and grasping at the kid.
the kid reaches another clearing glancing around they realize its the same clearing.
The figure leaps in front of the kid.
"Y O U C A N N O T R U N F R O M M A N C H I L D"
"False men, with no soul, no structure need to die"
The kid pulls out his weapon out.
[[Strife]]The kid can't get up
[[get up ]]The kid can't get back
[[get UP]]As the kid stands the false man reaches him and slowly opens his mouth to devower you.
[[kill the false man]]
As the false mans mouth widens to an impossiple size the kid hits it across the face with his guitar.
Then again
and again
needle like teeth fly out along with black blood
"I can slay a false man, and i will slay the dragon" The kid says
The false man lets out a groan as he tries to grasp the kid who slams his guitar down, crushing its skull.
[[You can kill]]Power surges through The kids veins the world goes black in the distance is an music
[[wake up]]Inside The kid and Jeri find a horned man and a solider waltzing with nothing on oposite sides of the diner.
The horned man has a deep red color to his skin and eyes that seems to be empty voids.
The solider wears a green WW2 pilots uniform with a rifle slung behind him, his eyes seem to be filled with stars.
The two of them stare at each other while dancing.
Jeri flies in between them and streches it's wings.
"You know what to do"
[[dance with the horned man]]
[[dance with the pilot]]
[[dance by yourself]]The kid wakes up besides an old diner, a giant skeleton is collapsed over its old roof as old' timey music flows through the door.
[[enter the diner ]]The dinner is completly empty the raven seem nervous as you walks through it.
"I don't like this place" the raven whispers to the kid.
The raven pecks the kids guitar nervously.
"Play me something please... its scary here" The raven
[[play the raven a song]]
[[Continue out of the dinner]]The kid brings the Guitar over his head.
"Wake child"
The figures head splits open a thick inky black liquid oozes out of his wound.
The kid pulls their guitar out of the Figures head.
More and more inky blood pours out of his wounds flooding the area, it gets to the kids knees, then their chest, and it slowly fills over their mouth.
The kid gasp for breath before being submerged in black.
[[Wake ]]As the kid starts to play the melody the Figure embraces them. It hums along to the melody and slowly covers the kids eyes with his hands.
Blood begins to pout out of the kids eyes, The kid feels hands wipe the blood away.
"Wake" The figure whispers
[[Kid, open your eyes]]The kid awakens to the sound of music, the kid is next to an old dinner alone. A massive skeleton lays over it with a massive sword through his chest.
[[enter the dinner ]]The kid awakens to the sound of music, the kid is next to an old dinner alone. A massive skeleton lays over it with a massive sword through his chest.
[[enter the dinner ]]The kid awakens in an old dinner with a man in a suit sitting next to him drinking coffee. "Everybody wants to rule the world" plays in the background.
"The child is awake" the raven says standing on the desk across from you.
"You're late child" the raven says hopping up and down.
"stop talking crow" The kid says annoyed
"Raven child, I am a raven! Tell him im a raven Tony!" the raven says.
The man puts down his coffee down and smiles at the bird and the child.
"It's true he's a raven" The man speaks in a thick unplacable accent.
"I bet you wonder what you're doing here?"
The kid looks straight ahead serious " I'm here to kill the dragon"
The man laughs and takes a sip of his coffee
"There is no dragon" He says
The kid glares at Tony.
"Then why do I have to slay it?"
"Tradition is followed by fools kid"Tony says looking down into his coffee
"The dragon must be real, It must tear the boy apart" the raven says
[[You just failed against the dragon]]
[[Leave the dinner, kill the dragon]]A woman in a bright yellow dress stands on a table singing "somewhere over the rainbow"
The raven watches her sing.
"I sence an evil here Child"
"evil?" the kid seems confused, The raven moves closer to the child.
"It comes from her... can you feel it" the raven whispers
The kid looks again at the woman singing.
From her mouth a black and gold mist drifts out of moving with the rythm
The mist moves towards the kid and Raven.
[[attack the woman]]
[[breath it in]]The kids voice pierces through the darkness, the ravens body peels back revealing the white dove beneath its wicked exterior, it bleeds out tainting its white .
"I am more than death, or a song" the kid ends their song blood pour out of their eyes.
"you can't live like this" the dove says before dying in a pool of its own blood.
"I'll live if I slay the dragon" the kid says as the blood of the dove begins to glow and bubble before forming a jagged spike and stabbing the kid in their hand. The skin peel revealing a glowing golden interior.
In the distance the kid sees a dinner the sound of old record music drifts through the forest.
The dinner is is run down with a giant skeleton laying ontop of it with a sword plunged through its belly piercing the dinner.
[[Enter the dinner ]]"Everyones gonna forget you" The kid says to tony who continues looking down.
"You're such a fool" Tony says
"You're just weak" The kid says as they tune their guitar.
Tony snatches the guitar from the kids hands.
"You're gonna die, kid... but I can help you"
Tony pulls sheet music out of his jacket.
"Do you bleed when you play sometimes" Tony says in a soft voice.
The kid looks away from Tony
"I can help you" tony leans in close and touches the kids cheek softly.
The kid starts to tear up and cry when he does this
"You can't do it but you must" Tony wispers to them
"I will" the kid wimpers
"So play your song" Tony whipes the kids tears and begins to tune the kid guitar.
"seranade the dragon, and survive"
[[survive the dragon]]Behind the dinner is the foot of a mountain that winds up to a snowy summit, a massive shadow looms in the distance.
"Not far now child, do you think you can do it?" Jeri says as they fly ahead of the kid
"It what I was made to do" the kid speaks with confidence as they begin the treck up the mountain.
the mountain side is littered with tall impossibly thin trees that stab out of the snow like spears.
the climb is uneventful, which seems unnatural...
[[conquer the mountain, slay the dragon]]The area around the horned man feels dry, as he moves his feet you see sand form beneath him.
"may I have this dance" the kid says approaching the horned man.
The horned man smiles and holds out his hand.
[[take his hand]]As the kid aproaches the pilot they feels cold, ice forms beneath his feet as he dances.
The Piolot notices you come by.
"May I have this dance"
[[Take the pilots hand]]The kid begins to dance by themself Jeri, the horned man, and the pilot watch. The music fades away
"what is he doing" the pilot whispers to the horned man
"something I didn't think was possiple" he says back
The crow taps and bounces around you
"The Child forms his own path" Jeri croaks
As the kids dance end he gets out his guitar and points it toward the sky
"I must slay the dragon"
The horned man and the pilot look at each other
"Let us fight with you please" The pilot says saluting the kid.
The kid walks past them both
"I't my job to slay the dragon" The kid says
The horned man nods his head in understanding
"Then know you're being hunted" his says in a hushed voice
Jeri flies to the door behind the two dancers
"Let it hunt, I have song" The kid says
[[Leave the dinner]]As you dance with the horned man he seems to despise you dancing quickly and taking control, almost violently spinning you. The world trasforms into a vast dessert.
"Something hunts you" He says in a booming voice.
The horned man pulls you close and looks into your eyes, his eyes are empty sockets with gold and black mist that pours out of them.
"The owl girl is right behind you, her arrows yearn for your blood" he says
The kid pulls away falling into the sand.
"I don't fear anything" The kid says, the horned man responds with a wicked smile.
"You don't need fear... You need a new weapon" The horned man now speaks in a low threatening voice.
The horned man takes the guitar and snaps it.
"What are you doing" The kid seems in awe, the horned man holds his finger up telling the kid to wait.
The mist from the horned mans eyes begins to pour out and he begins to shape it into something.
"Make sound, Make war... just make something child" The horned man says handing the kid a new guitar.
"Slay the dragon" The horned man says, as the world leave his lips the horned man blows away into grains of sand. In the distance the kid sees a door.
[[Exit the desert]]
The world becomes a tundra as the kid takes the pilots hand
"You can't fight the dragon, seranade it, kill it sound" The pilot says
The pilot removes their jacket and hands it to the kid
"this is gonna keep ya safe kid"
The kid wears the jacket, The pilot start to freeze
"You can do it kid"
The pilot is consumed by the snow storm
The kid reaches out to find the pilot again only to find himself back in the dinner, the horned man is gone, Jeri sits alone at a table.
"I like the jacket" Jeri says as he flies onto your shoulder
[[Leave the dinner ]]"You aren't scared child" The raven
the kid tilts his head in confusion "why would I be"
"You're being hunted... you could-" the jeri is cut off
"Die?... I don't care about dying so long as I kill the dragon" the kid and the Jeri continue down their path that winds up at the foot of a massive mountain.
"The end is near Jeri"
"but how near" Jeri says
In the distance standing on the roof of the dinner, two moon shaped eyes stare at the kid.
[[climb the mountain]]Outside the dinner is a small field leading to the foot of a mountain.
"Why do you fight child" Jeri says as he moves onto the kids head.
"To kill" they answer back
"Scary" Jeri whispers
"Very" a new voice speaks up in a whisper
The kid and raven turn to find a girl with wings, an owl face and huge moon shaped green eyes. Her feathers are white but speckled with grey. In her hands she grips a delicate looking bow, on her back, a twisted white arrow sits rested on the line.
"who are you?" the kid looks her up and down with confusion and fright
"Death" she says in a light voice
"I've been hunting you" she continues, she draws her bow. The kid seems entranced and doesnt move.
"CHILD, CHILD, MOVE CHILD" Jeri croaks angrily, the arrow goes flying at Jeri who flies away barly dodging the arrow and flying back.
The owel girl walks slowly to the kid standing beside him.
"I hunt the raven, stay away and you have nothing to fear" as the owl girl walks away the kid seems to be broken from a spell.
[[protect Jeri, kill the owl girl]]
[[continue on your way, slay the dragon]]The kid plays a short toon and wipes a nosebleed from their lip.
"We need to hurry bird" the kid says petting the raven.
"my name is Jeri" the raven replies as the two leave the dinner.The raven flies away up a mountain towards the summit.
The kid climbs alone feeling the world watching his ever step. the lonlyness seeps in as he nears the summit. The raven sits on a twisted dead branch and watches.
Dread came before the dragon
Then the dragon came.
It crawled out of the ground various fungi clinging to its massive cat like body. parts of its skeleton peak out of its golden hide. Its fangs are transparent, filled with stars.Two massive antlers seem to rip out of its skull that drip with a black inky liquid. It exhales a black smoke pours out of the sides of its mouth. The smoke morphs into grotesqe faces that twist in and out of eachother screaming but letting out no sounds.
[[You have to face the dragon]]The kid throws their guitar at the woman, the music stops abruptly, the guitar flies into her face. The kid climbs onto the stage and grabs the guitar and hits her again.
"Evil, you are evil"
The woman doesnt fight back.
the kid hits her again the crack of her skull against the guitar rings out.
from behind the counter a little girl pokes her head up, she is dressed as an owl, she trembles in fear staring at the kid.
"What about her" the kid speaks to the raven in a whisper
"She's no threat, the end is near"
the kid hears a wimper behind them, they turn to find a little girl dressed as an owl.
"Leave her child" the raven say
"Evil, you are evil" the kid says turning to her, the kids guitar dripping with the blood of the singing woman.
The kid corners the little girl and lifts the guitar over their head.
"Victory to those who are victorious" the owl girl says in a trembled whisper
They stand there in silence
The crunch of the owl girls bones shatters the silence, the kid turns away.
"Victory to the victor" the kid puts his guitar away and heads towards the door
[[exit the dinner, slay the dragon]]"What are you doing" The raven seems worried as the mist flows into the kid
"You want to be a puppet master" the kid says
"It wants to be a god" the woman says mockingly a head pokes from behind the woman.
the head is that of a little girl with huge moon shaped eyes and owl like features.
"I'm not a puppet,or a prophet" the kid says, the owl girl steps out from behind the woman. the owl girl is holding a white bow with a pitch black arrow made of a twisted thorny branch.
"You can't do this" the raven says as they fly away towards the exit, only to be stopped short by an arrow throught its chest.
The owl girl gives a bright but unerving smile
"we're done" the owl girl says happily.
"what's next" the kid says watching the raven give his final twitches of life
[[the strings are cut, slay the dragon]]the kid opens the door to find himself behind the dinner facing the foot of a mountain. Jeri flies down from the bones of the giant laying on the roof.
"Something new" Jeri says as he perches on your guitar
"Someone new" The kid says as they pull out their guitar
"Show yourself, hunter" The kid says pointing his guitar to the mountain.
Two moon shaped red and black eyes form before the kid and Jeri The face of a girl form next with pitch black skin and red freathers forming almost a hood. Her wings have hands at the ends that grasp a black bow. the arrow seem is made of twisted red bone with a hooked end.
"You know me?" The owl girl speaks in a whisper
"I know you hunt me" the kid says
The owl girl laughs "I dont hunt you" She draws her bow and aims it.
"I hunt the raven" she says almost playfully before letting the arrow fly.
Jeri dips down dodging the arrow, Jeri flies off up the mountain.
The owl girl follows Jeri up the mountain
[[confront the owl girl, save Jeri]]
[[Leave them and slay the dragon]]Jeri sings as you both head up the mountain. the summit is a desolate snowy peak, the ravens voice rings out before he eventually falls silent.
"Do you feel that" Jeri says before shuddering.
The kids white breath drifts from their mouth as they look around.
"The dragon is here" the kid says.
The kid grabs Jeri and burries him in his jacket.
"Watch me Jeri" The kid says The world goes black
[[slay the dragon]]"Please, don't kill my friend" the kid says as the owl girl disapears.
The mountain side is a forest of thin tall trees, in the distance the kid hears the fluttering of feathers .
"Jeri!" the kid sounds desprate as he continues up the mountain side, in the distance the owl girl takes aim towards the sky.
[[strike the owl girl]]
[[seranade the owl girl]]Lonelyness is the kids only companion
The kid reaches the mountain sumit without trouble, Engraved in to the stone are the words: //not even the mightyest of beast can change the past//
[[Face the dragon]]The kid heads up the mountaint, its forest lead into a snowy peak as the reach the summit they feel something watching them. A caw breaks the silents echoing out.
"Don't you Care about anything" a deep voice rattles through the air as a massive monsterous raven like creature crashes into the snow infront of the kid.
The dragon has a cracked beak with ragged feathers and burning feet that melt the snow beneath them. An arrow is pierces its chest as it gives a raspy breath the kid hears voices.
"Abandoned" they whisper
Tears freeze onto the kids face as they reach out to touch the dragon, it shudders and pulls pack as soon as the kid touches it.
The dragon looms over the kid its eyes bleed a brights read and drip down onto the kid.
the dragon lets out a roar and stares into the kids eyes with its always bleeding eyes.
The kid slowly reaches for their guitar.
[[serenade your dragon]]the kid leaps far to the owl girl just as she lets an arrow fly, she misses the raven as the kid slams their guitar into them.
She does not bleed, she turns to the kid staring into their eyes.
"What did I tell you" the owl girls voice is cold and harsh
"I'm not letting you hurt my friend" the kid and the owl girl stand off against each other, Jer perches himself on the kids shoulder, the owl girl draws her bow and takes aim at them both.
"don't you have a dragon to kill" the owl girl says harshly before letting her arrow fly.
"I've got time" the kid brings their guitar up blocking the arrow.
The kid charges the owl girl who lets two more volleys of arrows fly, the kid blocks one but another stabs into them slowing but not stopping them.
The kid hits the owl girl across the face with their guitar. the owl girl this time seems hurt, so the kid hits her again, and again and again.
"she hunts me, for my power" Jeri says as blood sprays onto the kid
The kid stops, the owl girl lays dead, bruised her once delecate face is unrecognizable.
"you had to do it child" Jeri whispers in the kids ear as they both look forward, to the sumit of the mountain.
"Lets just kill the dragon" The kid steps over the owl girls corpse
Together, the kid and Jeri climb the mountain.
before long they reach the snowy summit.
//No beast could fill that void//
Those words are engraved into the stone ahead of them, they walk past it.
[[Face the dragon together]]"Listen to me" The kid says before strumming their guitar, The wave of sound hits the owl girl like a wave. the owl girls eyes glow a light but bright pink. with each note she moves closer Jeri flies away out of sight and comes back into view after a moment Jeri reapears flying fast towards the owl girl.
Jeri flies through her skull and flies out of her eye, the kid stops playing.
The owl girls body collapses dead. Jeri perches on the kids shoulder slick with blood.
The kid reels over and vomits.
"Some thing just have to be slayed" Jeri croaks
"But now you dont have to do this alone" Jeri continues.
"we climb the mountain, and slay the dragon" Jeri croaks
The two of you climb the mountain to its snowy summit
only to find nothing
"I feel it" the kid whispers
"Oblivion" they say.
[[Face the dragon together]]The kids walks through the desolate snowy mountain top griping their guitar
The ground rumbles beneath the kid before a deafening roar erupts from the sky.
The dragon has the skull of a bird, with yellow tenticles bursting from its eye sockets dripping blood. Its wings swallow the sky casting a starry night above you both. Massive claws rip through its own flesh revealing their pitch black twisted horror. The dragon is an overwhelming white that bleds into the snow. The dragon hovers over the kid without attacking.
[[slay]]
[[serenade]]The kid leaps impossibly high into the sky their guitar smashes into the dragons neck the dragon, it falls to earth with the kid close behind the dragon lands shaking the earth beneath it.
The kids guitar slams into its skull cracking it open, its blood is a glowing neon pink that clings to the kids skin and guitar. The dragon lets out one last bloody scream. The life fades from its eyes, it lets out one last breath, one last twitch of life.
Then it dies
"And I was alone"
[[End]]The kid begins their song, the dragon slows before landing. The dragon moves rythmicly to the sound of the music.
"Beast, feast upon my song and rest forever, so that I can be young forever" as the kid speaks the dragon lays down and rest.
The dragons skin begins to cristalize as the song continues.
As the song comes to an end the dragon sits atop the mountain a grotesqly detailed statue.
The kid bleeds from is eyes and mouth as they put their guitar up.
The kid sits next on the head of the dragon statue
and hums silently to themselves as the snow roars on
[[End]]A girl sits at a table alone in the dinner listening to the old music, she has huge moonshaped eyes with owl like featers. she has yellow feathers with a white bow and quiver of golden arrows made of twisted bonelike material. as the kid approches she stares at you unblinking.
"You killed it" she says in a whisper
The kid sits next to her, she lays her head on the kids shoulder
"What do I do now" she grabs the kids hand staring at the golden glow.
She smiles at it before looking the kid in the eyes
"Can I come with you, the dragon isnt far away" Her smile is large almost unerving despite the sincerity.
[[Let us slay the dragon]]
[[Lets stay like this a little bit]]The kid and the owl girl Exit the dinner, the foot of a dinner lay ahead of them.
"Are you scared" the owl girl whispers, looking at the massive shadow of a winged creature on the peak.
"The worst is behind me, The impossible lay ahead" the kid speaks without feeling
[[go forth]]they both wait, the rest is welcome after the constant movement of the journey.
"I'm glad I'm not alone"
[[exit the dinner slay the dragon ]]It came with a flash.
The dragon, It was a foul thing that reeked of sulfur and... honey.
It had the skull of a snake with overly big gapping eyes, two empty voids swallow the kid and Jeri whole.
Its wings are a mass of flesh and body parts that drips with its own rot and a thick black blood.
The dragon hovers over them unmoving.
"I'm going to help you, child" Jeri moves onto the top of the kids head.
"We, will kill the dragon" Jeri takes off flying into the distance before turning around flying straight towards the kid
The kid flinches back and puts his hand up, Jeri hits the kids hand before burrying through it.
The kid screams
"What are you doing" The kid is in agony as Jeri passes through his hand and burries into the kids eyes.
The kid lets out a pain filled roar as Jeri pushes deeper into their skull.
"We Will slay the dragon" Jeri says from in the kids skull, blood pours out of his now empty socket. The kid collapses onto their knees and grab their head, reaving with uncomprehendable pain.
Then everything stops, the kid stands up their eye stops bleeding and they grab their guitar.
The kids remaining eye is black on black while in their socket is a sitting raven barly visible.
"WE WILL SLAY THE DRAGON"
The kid points his guitar at the dragon
[[Destroy the dragon]]
"We are destiny" The kid speaks in two voices, as the dragon prepares a breath. an impossibly red flame lines erupts from its mouth barreling towards the kid.
The kids jacket catches fire but doesn't burn. The kid takes a breath.
"You can't burn me" the kid says they strum their guitar. The dragon reals back
"But I can move you" the next note shatters skull of the dragon
"And I can slay you" the dragon lets out a roar as the soundwaves blow it away until it's nothing.
"What did you do" Jeri speaks confused from the kids jacket
"My job" the kid answers smoke still bellowing from the patches of his jacket.
the stand in silence for a moment
"What now child" the raven says
[[End]]The kid and raven exit the dinner and find themselves at the foot of a towering mountain, desolate of life, with each step they find themselves farther and farther away from life and closer to the dragon.
this feeling intensifies as snow begins to fall towars the summit.
Slowly the white snow begins to again morph becomeing more and more scarlet with every step.
Eventually the snow begins to thicken with blood and by the time they reach the summit the kid is standing in what has become a lake of blood.
the wind houls and the kid holds out their guitar as a face rises out of the lake.
The face constantly morphs between that of a grown woman and a little girl
As it continues to rise Its body is revealed, It had the body of a lion with massive wings that blocked out the sky. The under side of the wings drip with blood as hands reach out of, screams for help are cut short drowning in the mass of flesh that makes it up.
"Well child" the raven whispers into your ear as you watch the dragon rise and hover over you.
[[sacrifice]]
or
[[Serenade ]]Behind the dinner the foot of a mountain pierces up into the heavens
The kid begins to climb, thin twisted trees line the side of the mountain and thorny roses twist through it before eventualy stopping as snow begins towards the peak.
The peak is barren with a large gash running down the middle, the gash is filled with water forming a icy lake.
The wind roars between the kids ears, growing louder and louder before it suddenly stops with the wind coming to a halt.
Above the kid the dragon hovers standing still
It has the mangaled body of the raven with its wings replaced with a twisted mesh of bone and branches. Its skulls seems caved in though its eyes seems untouched still very much so alive radiating with a blue energy.
The dragon lets out a wet gargling noice that eventualy distorts itself into a voice.
"Beast of your own creation"
[[serenade ]]
[[strife ]]"can I do this?" the kid ask the raven, who seems to look back wondering if anything will follow them out
"It's to late to worry child" the raven says as he looks away and flies ahead
"have to" the Jero say distant.
"I'll meet you at the summit" the Jeri says flying away
The journey to the top is lonely and uneventful, the mountain side is full of tall, thin trees that poke out of the snowy ground.
[[reach the summit, face the dragon]]In the snow sleeps terror.
The dragon lay asleep, the skull of a rat stuffed to the brink of bursting with death, the limbs of animals and people spill out of its eye sockets as it breaths. Two large gashes ooze a black liquid where its wings should be.
The raven hovers above you both.
[[serenade ]]Jeri perches himself on your shoulder
"We do this together child"
[[Face the dragon together]]The kid faces the dragon and begins to play, the soundwaves wash over the dragon, it reels back as if afraid, cowering.
"beast, you exist tobe slain" the kids voice rings out, parts of the dragon fall off, twitching limbs crawl at the kid who smashes into them with their guitar.
//You face the end child// A putrid gargled voice speaks to you from the mind coming in every direction.
"I face a dragon" the kid responds before struming their guitar, the black mass exploades off its body exposing the massive skeleton of a person.
The kid plays fast as the gunk continues to move back, the kid starts to bleed more and more violently from their eye's, ears, and mouth.
//How long can you keep this up//
One of the kids guitar strings snap the gunk starts to burn with a white fire.
Another String breaks and the kid collapses onto their knees.
//Stop// the dragons voice booms into the kids mind. the dragon gives an audible roar out as it burns away, the skeleton beneath reaches out towards the kid, who is just out of reach.
"Burn away" the kid whispers before collapsing. the dragon gives one last bellowing roar before it collapses dead.
[[End]]The kid caught up quickly finding the owl girl hunting in a field of black roses.
"glory" The owl girl whispers turning to the kid bow drawn
"Let us on hunter" the kid says bitterly
The owl girl lets out her hand holding something
Jeri's body lay limp in her hand with an arrow through its heart
"You couldn't save them" the owl girl says taunting you while moving backwards through the field
The kid chases after her, but she stays just out of reach, The kid swings their guitar getting angery with ever miss.
The kid screams out in rage slamming his guitar into the ground crushing the roses
"You're job is done let me-" The kid is cut short as the ground begins to shake
A shadow looms over them both
"Welcome death" The owl girl says as an artifical night streches over them both, the outline of wings line the sky.
"Welcome the dragon" The sky Itself lets out a roar, the stars break away forming fangs, two black voids form eyes, the dragon comes into existence from the stars itself. sunlight breaks through as the dragon lands.
The dragon lets out a roar.
[[Slay the dragon ]]The kid and the owl girl Exit the dinner, the foot of a dinner lay ahead of them.
"Are you scared" the owl girl whispers, looking at the massive shadow of a winged creature on the peak.
"The worst is behind me, The impossible lay ahead" the kid speaks without feeling
[[go forth]]The two head up the mountain, their climb is short almost instantly they reach the peak.
"Do you feel that" the owl girl whispers as they reach the summit, the kid's arm starts to glow, then spark violently. The once golden skin blackens and cracks, the owl girl tilts her head in confusion.
From the kids arm burst hundreds of ravens, the kid lets out a scream as the ravens gathers eventually forming one massive beast, a constanly changing black mass of feathers and beaks.
The owl girls eyes widen as the sun is blacked out by the every changing mass.
"The dragon" she whispers to herself as the kid drops to their knees as the last of the ravens join the mass. The kid grasp at his arms to find it gone.
The owl girl helps the kid up as the dragon swirls over them.
"slay the dragon" the kid says as he gets out his guitar wielding it as a weapon.
The owl girl draws her bow and together they face the dragon
[[Slay the dragon ]]The kid begins to play a song.
The dragons roar cuts it short
"IT'S TO LATE FOR THAT" the dragon rasp white hot fire gathers around its beak
The kid goes up in flames, stringless and free
and forever a kid
[[End]]The kid delivers a devistating blow to the dragon. A thick mist of blood sprays out of its neck.
//all you do is kill//
A deep gargled voice speaks from the kids mind.
//You will always be Alone//
The kid swings again, the guitar sticks deep between the dragons eyes. It reels back throwing the kid into the snow, now red with blood.
//You can't do anything right//
The dragon circles around the kid limping and nearly broken. It lunges as the kid clasping the kid by the arm.
The dragon crushes the kids arm tearing it off, with the kids other hand they slam the guitar into its eye.
//You will wander alone foever//
The kid drops down, the dragon lunges again the kid slams their guitar into them and the dragon flies back twitching in the snow bleeding over itself and the snow. feathers litter the ground around the kid as they stand triumphant in the snow, watching the dragon give its last twitches of life.
The kid exhales and collapses in the snow in a pool of blood
[[End]]"Child" the raven says
"forever" the kid says dropping their guitar into the lake It remanifest itself out of blood above the dragons shifting heads
The dragons eyes beam down onto the kid.
The raven flies off leaving the kid alone
blood begins to pour out of the dragons eyes over the kid.
"Forever" the kid says
just before disapeaing into the scarlet void
[[End]]The kid begins to play their guitar the dragon trembles the blood holding it up begins to fall of in massive chunks, the red lake begins to harden climbing up the dragon. Its face is mid transformation the face of a little girl and grown woman screaming away from each other.
The raven whispers into the kids ear
"Grow up"
[[End]]//Non nobis solum nati sumus//
[[start a journey]]The kid leaps into the sky, guitar in hand ready to slay the dragon.
It's two void like eyes gaze down on you/
"Can the kid do it?" the owl girl whispers to herself, the dragon takes a deep breath as the kid find themselves unable to move.
A white hot fire erupts form the sides of the dragons mouth. a similar white saliva drips from its teeth burning the flowers below.
"Of coarse they can't" the owl girl whispers
the fire barrels towards the kid, they try to play a song but fumble with their guitar unable to play.
"too hateful" the owl girl whispers as the kid burns to death
[[End]]As the kid begins to play feathers fall from the dragons body, Lotus flowers grow in their place. Thorny vines Erupt from the dragons eyes, it lets out a gasp before leaves sprout from its throat.
As the kids song ends a massive tree sits rooted where the dragon once stood. the tree is an impossibility, roses and lotus flowers grow along side peaches and Oranges, all from the same plant.
//no one is without a friend//
[[End]]Darkness, a void that doesn't just lack light but swallows it.
what lies before the kid is indescribable
[[slay the dragon ]]The kid reaches for their guitar and strums it the void shutter and bends as the sound moves out. As the kid continues to play the void distorts further before shattering.
"I slay dragons" the kid says finishing their song, a black mask lay dead ahead of them. Jeri pokes out of the jacket.
"what now child" Jeri says
The flesh twitches and convulses before finally staying down
"I don't know..." the kid finnaly answers pulling away.
[[End]]The summit is a silent barren snowy peak. in the snow lays a massive snake like beast. It has the head of a dear but with sharp uneven teeth that stab into its gums. As the two of you aproach the dragon its shoots away. Its mouth hang open it has eight black tongue's that squirm alive dripping with inky black liquid.
Its eyes rapidly switch between various bright colors as it looms overthe two children and hisses.
"We can do this" the owl girl says. The kid tunes his guitar as the dragon slithers forward.
A sting snaps as the kid coninues to tune.
"Wait we can use this" The owl girl takes the string and replaces the string on her bow with the guitar cord.
//Rise from the wood and the dreadful unknown// The voice speaks with a fiery rage that booms coming from every direction
"One strike, quick and together" the owl girl grasp her bow and the both of you pull the bow back.
//Moarn the future you create for yourself// The dragon lunges mouth open and smoke flowing out the sides. It gets closer and closer just before it slams into the two of them.
They let the arrow fly. as it travels the arrow comes alive sparking in with lightning. A guitar rift rings out as it makes contact with the dragon.
From the arrow wound a tree begins to grow. The dragon twist and turns around the tree hissing and screaming as the tree gets bigger and bigger
The dragons skull explodes as leaves push out of its eye sockets, the tree branches grow thorns and wrap around the dragon before finally stopping.
The mass of branches and thorn rest in the shape of the dragon, its mouth twisted in one last scream towards the heavens.
The owl girl and the kid look up at the feat they've accomplished, they are silent for a moment before laughing, Laughing together in the snow.
[[End]]//Well child// The voice speaks from everywhere, in a wicked raspy voice.
//The dragon is here//
The kid starts to shake, and drops their guitar.
"You can't face it can you" The raven whispers from the branch.
//This is your funeral// The voice sounds almost sympathetic. The dragon begins to circle you breathing deeply.
the kid tries to play their guitar but fumbles and fails.
The dragon moves in closer, The kid despratly starts to swing their guitar wildly.
As the dragon grows closer it paws the guitar away and looms over you snarling.
//Its ok child//
The dragons eyes glow a bright purple, staring into the kids eyes
//It's what kids do//
"I want help" the kid whispers to himself.
The raven flies away.
No help is coming
