Chapter 112 Story 112 The Last Hunt

In a world long forgotten by time, where the land was dominated by towering cliffs and endless deserts, two figures huddled together in a narrow crevice of rock. Their breath was ragged, their bodies covered in dust and sweat.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Your journey continues with empire

These were the last survivors of a tribe once known as the Elders of the Wind, a people who had roamed the land for generations, masters of survival in the harshest of environments.

Their names were Kael and Lira. Kael, a seasoned warrior with scars that told stories of countless battles, held his spear tightly, his eyes fixed on the beast that prowled above them. Lira, younger and more agile, clutched a sharp stone, her heart pounding in her chest as she pressed closer to Kael.

The creature that hunted them was no ordinary predator; it was a titan of ancient nightmares—a colossal theropod with scales like armor and teeth that could crush bone with a single bite.

Kael watched in horror as Lira was snatched up by the creature's massive jaws. Her scream echoed across the cliffs as the beast crushed her body, her sacrifice buying him only a few precious seconds. Without thinking, Kael leaped from the crevice, his spear raised high.

He charged at the beast, his fury giving him strength. With a primal cry, he plunged the spear into the creature's exposed eye. The beast roared in pain, thrashing its head violently. But Kael held on, driving the spear deeper until he felt the resistance give way.

The creature stumbled, its remaining eye rolling back as it let out one final, guttural roar. Then, with a tremendous crash, it collapsed to the ground, its massive body shuddering before going still.

Kael fell to his knees beside the fallen beast, his breath coming in ragged gasps. Lira's broken body lay nearby, her sacrifice etched into the earth. He reached out, closing her lifeless eyes, a single tear tracing the dirt on his cheek.

The sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows over the land. Kael knew that this was not the end. The land was full of dangers, and he was now truly alone. But Lira's bravery had given him something to fight for—a reason to keep moving forward in this world of endless peril.

With a heavy heart, Kael rose, gripping his bloodied spear. The last hunt was over, but the journey for survival had only just begun.
