First Time Seeing A Magical Beast.

They were hearing footsteps, the person was running, and it kept getting louder meaning the person was getting closer. They began getting more terrified apart from, Ethan.

Then suddenly, the door pushed open, and there stood a man in grey robe and a terrified look on his face. And at that moment, they began wondering why he was terrified. He bashed into their compound and pushed their door open like a thief...and he was terrified?

..Or was someone chasing him?

Ethan wasn't familiar with this man, and neither was his family. But the man was familiar with, Ethan, he knew he was a warrior. And at that moment, Ethan's voice resounded,

"Who are you? And what are you doing here? Why would you enter our compound like that?".

"Ethan". The man uttered, and Ethan was a little surprised that the man called him by his name. That only means one thing, the man knew him. He kept speaking...

"A magical beast is terrorizing this community, it's destroying village squares".

..There was silence, everyone couldn't believe what they just heard...a magical beast terrorizing this community? This hasn't happened in a long time.

"What did you just say?". Ethan voiced out, he wanted the man to repeat what he said...it was just like he didn't hear well.

"I said a magical beast is terrorizing this community. It's destroyed a lot of places, and it's killed some people. I'm sorry that I bashed into your house like this, but I just had to come and tell you. I know you don't know me, but I know you. You're one of the chiefs in this kingdom and also a warrior,

Some warriors are battling the beast currently, but there is a need for more warriors to battle it...we need your help". The man voiced out once again, that terrified look still plastered to his face.

Everyone just sat there glancing at the man, it's been a long time now since something like this happened, a magical beast finding its way into a kingdom. They were always in wildernesses...wildernesses a little far from kingdoms.

..How did the beast the man was speaking of find its way into this kingdom? And it's killed some people? This was bad.

Aiden sat there glancing at the man also, ever since he was born into this world, this was the first time he was hearing something like this. The harem god told him about magical beasts existing in this world, but he's never seen any of them...but he's heard of them.

His dad was a warrior, he's embarked on journeys to pay tributes to the two kingdoms they do pay tributes to. He's battled numerous magical beasts along with other warriors, and anytime he comes back, he tells them stories about it.

And each time he does so, Aiden comes to respect him more 'cause he battled those beasts without dying...that shows how strong he was.

And now, they were talking about a magical beast terrorizing the community? He wanted to see it.

At that moment, Ethan ran straight into his room, drew out his sword from his scabbard, and ran out of the room...it was time for battle. He glanced at his family and uttered,

"You guys should stay here, stay safe".

Then he glanced at the man in grey robe and voiced out,

"Let's go".

And with that, he stormed out of the house with the man following him from behind. Aiden wanted to see the magical beast, he wanted to see what it looked like, but this one that his dad told all of them to stay here...what was he gonna do?

Seems like he'll have to rebel, he wanted to see the beast, he can't stay here. So he immediately stood up from the chair he was sitting on and dashed out of the house. And at that moment, Emma's voice began resounding audibly,

"Aiden!! Aiden!!".

Aiden heard, but didn't stop, he kept on running. He ran until he was out of the compound completely without even looking back for a second.

But how was he gonna find the current location of the magical beast? He couldn't sight his dad anymore or the man in grey robe. But seems like finding where the beast was currently situated wouldn't be that hard 'cause he could sight some people heading to a destination with a kind of terrified expression on their faces.

He could also hear murmuring, as they walked, they discussed the situation at hand...and that was the beast terrorizing the community. And at that moment, he began following them from behind.

..A seven years old boy was heading toward the destination of a magical beast along with adults...no fear.

All the adults that were heading toward the beast made sure to leave their kids at home if they had any. And here was a seven years old boy heading toward the destination of the beast? And worst of all, he was doing so majestically without much fear...

..All he knew was that he wanted to see the beast.

He kept on following the adults, and they didn't notice him 'cause a lot was running through their heads at that moment. They were so worried about how many places the beast has destroyed and the people it had killed...so noticing Aiden was the last thing on their minds.

They kept on sauntering, and Aiden kept following them. Getting to a certain place, they noticed that the place was a little crowdy, and they were hearing screams and shouts.

At that moment, Aiden came to discern that the beast must be near. According to what he noticed, the place was a little scattered as well...the doings of the beast.

But what he was wondering was why there were many people there. Wouldn't they run for their life? What if the beast suddenly reaches this place, do they know how many people it would kill? Some people were even moving forward, they were just like him, they wanted to see the magical beast.

From what he was hearing, seems like they were battling the beast already...his father would most likely be there, hope nothing happens to him. He wanted to see the beast, so he began moving forward as well.

..And at that moment, a woman's voice resounded,

"Young boy, what are you doing here? Aren't you afraid? Do you see any kid here?".

The woman was definitely talking to him, so he glanced back to see a woman that was most likely in her late 'thirties. The woman's voice resounded again,

"You think this is a joke? Come on, go back".

The woman said 'go back', but Aiden did the opposite, he ran forward. He thought of his mum at that moment, she must be worried sick, he just ran out of the house and didn't listen when she was calling him. She might be looking for him now.

He'll most likely receive some scolding after this was over. As for now, all that matters was for him to see the magical beast without him dying.

He kept following the people moving forward until they arrived at an open space. The place was huge and sandy, and glancing front, he sighted the beast with the warriors battling it...gosh! It was so huge.

It wasn't huge to the extent that its head would reach the top of a tall building, no...but it was huge. It was tall and somehow wide. Aiden just stood there glancing at the beast along with other people, and seems like the warriors were having a hard time bringing it down.

What was the description of the beast? It had the body of a gorilla, but its face was somehow different. But of course, it wasn't the size of a gorilla, it was huger.

'I finally got to see what a magical beast looks like'.

He heard some people talking, and according to what he heard, it was the warriors that led the beast into this open space so they'll be able to battle it without it destroying anything or killing any more people...it had killed and destroyed enough.

That was just a nice move on their side...a really nice move. For sure, lots of things that were to take place today wouldn't take place anymore. Like, students going to academies where they get basic knowledge. It would most likely affect only this community.

And by now, Aiden had already sighted his dad, Ethan, he was among the warriors battling the beast. The warriors had already given the beast different cuts on the body and were even making use of their powers, but the beast didn't just want to go down.

'Wow! This is tough'. Aiden thought to himself.
