My father led our family to the kingdom of darkness when I was just 4 years old. I know what your thinking why would he do a stupid thing like that. Well hold on I will tell you. This is no bed time story. This is actually freaking happened. There was a global pandemic in the land of light(Human World). People dropped dead on their way to walk,school or literally anywhere. It killed faster than a gun shot to the head. No one even had a name for the disease. It was worse than the world had even seen. More than half of the human population died. The surviving ones were dead men walking. The only thing known about the disease is that its in the air. Once a person breathes it in the person is gone. So now you get it. You get why my dad had to get us out of that world.
The surviving humans travelled to the end of the world where the portal of light and darkness was. This was supposed to be our big break I mean we are this close to be free from the disease. But nope the universe once again turned it back on me. There is only a 10% chance of survival once you enter that portal. The portal can completely rip you apart and destroy your organs. Or if you survive you may enter into the kingdom of darkness with one eye on your neck and your hand in your stomach (Disgusting but it happens). Or worse you can come out with a skin reaction or cancer.
We all hesitated but at the end we decided its better to get ripped apart with a portal than drop down dead while eating a McDonalds burger. Well they decided that while four year old me just sucked my thumb and pulled at my pigtails. We all entered the portal one by one. Each expecting the worse. And sadly most got the worst. It was terrible. Most died while in the portal and some came out looking like mutants (They also died instantly). The extremely lucky ones that survived were few and were all mentally traumatized by the site of those people....especially the children.
The lucky ones were few. My mom had 5 kids. I was the last. One died during the pandemic. The other one got ripped apart in the portal, one got turned into a mutant and died instantly. And my oldest brother....well I will tell you what happened to him soon. Back to our story the surviving humans were barely 10 million that survived from the kingdom of light. We were all tired and very hungry but we didn't have any food. We kept walking and walking till some of us dropped. It seemed like we always escaped one death to enter another.
The kingdom of darkness was not necessarily dark. We all just called it that because of the people that lived in it. They weren't regular people like us nope. They had magic. Vampires,werewolves, fairy,witches, Lycans and.... Dragons. Their world was 10 times more technologically and magically advanced than ours. We didn't expect such creatures to welcome us with opened arms but we didn't expect this either.
The Dark creatures as I call them met us at the bridge between the city of darkness and the Outlands(Outskirts the city but still in the kingdom) . They were livid with rage and anger at the site of us. Even when they saw our children dropping dead in their presence they didn't take pity. They screamed and yelled at us to get out of their kingdom. They screamed that we are worthless,weak,sons of bitches who couldn't survive on their own. My father tried to plead with them that our world is dead and ridden with sickness, he pleaded that we had no where to go and we will all die if we go back to the kingdom of light, he pleaded that our children were dying.
But those heartless monsters didn't listen they laughed at our helplessness. When our pleading started to irritate them. They .... Attacked. Yep they broke their own rule. Never kick a man when his down. But they attacked us. Well by they I mean mostly the dragons. Sure the vampires and the rest kicked us out and killed some of us. But the dragons chased us back to the portal. They poured their fire on us. Killing men, women and even children. We ran and ran as far as we could from those psychopaths. Until they stopped chasing us and warned us if we ever set foot in the kingdom of darkness they would kill us.
So that how it was. We began our lives in the outlands. Where they were no good soil for food and barely any water. We set up tents life was hard but we managed to survive. After that we would have just called it water under the bridge and forgiven the dragons but they had to prove they are the biggest reptiles asses. They came sometimes to mock us. Taunting us as we lived in tents. Setting our hard earned food on fire and killing anyone who accidentally stumbled into the main kingdom. Thats how they killed my brother. He was 11 years old. Just a little child.
Now you see why I hate those slimy reptiles. We changed though. Humans. We stopped being weak and dumb and naive. We started being sharp and agile. We became faster, smarter, more cunning. We knew how to avoid the vampires and hunt animals in the city without being seen. As for me well I became better in everything. I learned how to defend myself. I learned how to hunt I learned how to kill.
I learned how to De- wing a vampire at 15, how to kill one at 18. Now I'm 22 and I'm still a survivor. Not taking crap from anyone it any creature and killing every single dragon that threatens me (except dragonets cause I'm not monsters like them ) . I'm Alicia black and I am the dragon slayer.
