The Beasts

The Beasts

0 INK

Magic is changing. The Beasts are awakening, shifting. The world is in danger.

861 readers have visited The Beasts since boolucole created it.

Introduction

Unbeknownst to the citizens of Canada, Hawaii, and Australia, the Shields do not exist. There is no slab of rock holding these countries above the roiling molten magma of the Earth's core. Instead, they rest on the backs of gigantic sleeping beasts, put to sleep centuries before by the ancient Gods for an unknown reason. These beasts are the Fire Dragon of the Hawaii Islands, the Ice Giant of Canada, the Wind Cyclops of Australia, and the Water Snake of Atlantis. The Water Snake, turned bitter by millennia of nothing but thoughts of revenge on the Gods and the impudent humans that infested it's sleeping comrades, broke free of the spell cast by the Gods and sank the land on it's back. It now bides it's time at the bottom of a deep sea trench, waiting for the day the other beasts awaken.

Tasked with keeping Canada frozen and the Giant asleep is the Ice Wizard Covenant, represented by the members of Parliament. In charge of defending the continent from the rogue forces of the Elemental Beasts are the Beast Masters, also known as the Mounties, who are able to harness the power of the dormant Giant to summon creatures of ice. Prowling the wilderness and forests of Canada, where it would make no sense for Mounties to be, are the druids, usually in the guise of snow cats.

The Fire Mages are in charge of keeping the Fire Dragon asleep, and are represented by the State Legislature. The Beast Masters are members of The Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources. The druids, in order to avoid suspicion, can usually be found in the form of a bird native to Hawaii called the Nene, which also allows them to traverse the fragmented land with ease and speed.

To keep the Wind Cyclops asleep, the Gods employed the help of Air Conjurers, represented by Commonwealth Parliament. The Beast Masters are members of The Australian Police Professional Standards Committee,or the APPSC for short. The favorite form of Australian druids is the Saltwater Crocodile.

The Water Magii, residents of Atlantis, managed to escape their doomed city, along with their native Beast Masters, and spread out across the world. They teach their craft to anyone that will listen, as they believe this is the only way to atone for allowing the Water Snake to awaken, and throughout their lessons preach to their students about not letting the other Beasts awaken. But... that's exactly what's happening.

The Beasts are starting to awaken, to shift. Those who managed to contact the Water Snake through extensive and complicated rituals say he swears he has nothing to do with it, although he certainly is capitalizing on this opportunity. So what caused this change? Some say it's global warming. Some say it's something not of this Earth. Some say it's the Spell of Sleep starting to wear off. Whatever the case, it must be stopped. The Beasts must be put back to sleep. Or the world will never be the same.

You are children of the members of the organizations charged with protection and keeping the Beasts asleep, and have been studying with private tutors to prepare for the day you would replace your parents. Something is calling you, however. You have begun to have dreams of a sleeping figure, either encased in ice, wrapped in flame, suspended in water, or floating in the middle of a cyclone. Hallucinations of this same figure have begun to plague you in the waking world. A voice tells you nothing but to find and release them. And that is what you set out to do.

I opened my eyes,blinking slightly as they adjusted to the darkness of my room. I sighed and threw the bedspread off myself,heading downstairs and filling a glass with water. I thought of my dream,leaning against the counter and sipping my water. It had begun at the top of a long,dark flight of winding stone stairs that descended deep into the Earth. Several times I had the feeling of wanting to stop and rest,but as it was a dream I needed no such respite. After what seemed like hours of walking the stairs stopped,leveling out at a hallway whose walls were covered with strange glowing runes. They pulsed as I walked by,and I felt a wave of drowsiness overtake me. I pushed ahead,however,and after leaving the hallway in favor of a tall,domed room,the feeling faded. I quickly crossed to the other side and pulled open a heavy wooden door,like the kind you'd see in an old medieval castle in a movie. On the other side was a flight of stairs,candles standing in their sconces every couple steps,and at the top was a girl. She was encased in ice,hair suspended behind her as if blown by a wind. I shut the door and cautiously made my way up the steps,never taking my eyes off her. I reached the to and stood before her,tilting my head as I took in her features. Prominent cheekbones and a petite nose,full lips and...oh,uh,no clothes. I quickly moved my eyes back up to her face...and found that hers were open. Then I woke up. I closed my eyes and shook my head,depositing my cup in the sink. I had been having the dream for about a week,every night and never failing. I had no idea what it meant,though,and that annoyed me. I sighed and trudged upstairs,collapsing into bed and pulling the covers over myself. Maybe tomorrow would offer a new point of view...
