Foreword

In the center of the forest, of the lands in the name of Queen Siara, lives a creature spits fire, twenty meters long, with a reptile body, giant and sharp lion claws and those of an eagle, very ferocious.
No one has ever been able to defeat the creature, Queen Siara has lost many soldiers trying to kill her but both the nature and instinct of the creature to protect itself, has caused only death and misfortune for her kingdom, she asked for help from others kingdoms through phoenix messengers, that when delivering his message, his body was engulfed in flames until it became ashes and reborn.
The Aquan kingdom very close, was chosen by Queen Siara to help her with the creature, King David along with his wife Queen Ella, decided to help their neighboring kingdom, sending a group of warriors to a trip of three days, an elite army of ten warriors, including one in particular named Maximus Arantes, who had seen his father die at the hands of another similar creature, so he held a strong grudge.

The carriage wobbled and Maximus' drink splashed his armor, his companions were talking about how it would be for the first time to look at the creature -Principiantes - Maximus let out between his teeth.

  • Hey Maximus, how do you prepare to fight with that beast? Leon Petterson asked, twenty-two years old, a little childish redhead.
  • Prepare? To die? - He got up, showing a furious, hateful look, that fell from his heart to his eyes - You do not know what awaits us. Do you want to see the creature when you take out your sharp claws and try to tear yourself and then with your big teeth you devour or that calcine you? - All were perplexed, some in their eyes could see the change of perspective and doubt - I thought. - He relaxed in his seat, thinking about what happened that time.
    His father was a soldier who worked for King Angelo, former king of Aquan, and his mother a simple villager who worked selling vegetables in the village, Maximus of only eight years heard noises in his room his eyes opened leaving behind the dream , he went unhurriedly to the door and put his ear to listen to what was happening on the other side, loud cries, breaking materials and objects were heard without stopping, Maximus stepped back, went to his parents' room, where no one was, the roof of his house fell to the ground destroyed, some stones that fell at great speed hit Maximus - Mama, Papa !! - shouted but no one could hear him, in that disaster, Maximus was in a fetal position and heard a loud roar, looked towards where the ceiling had been, could see thousands of stars shining in the night sky and not only that, an immense creature that only I had heard stories, that many mouths had been extinct for years, but that was not real and was facing Maximus a creature ?, a beast ?, A dragon!
  • Maximus, hey awake friend - Leon woke him up from among his darkest memories - we will not stop for a while, the horses need to recover.
  • Okay, I'll help in the water - I take the barrels of water and I'll take the horses.
