[WP] When a wise man declared you The Chosen One, everyone poured their resources into training you. Now, you are prepared to face the Final Battle--which would be great, if you hadn't discovered that the 'wise man' was a random guy who liked quoting epics.

The creature's wings dawned upon me as the flames continued to dance around me. In the corner of my eye, the town was burning, screams of pain echoing through the night as I turned my attention to the dragon.

"I am your death incarnate!" he roared as he launched its flame into the air, "You puny humans shall bow down to me when you're all burned!" He flapped his wings as the wind tossed the debris around us. Some dust flew into my eyes as I desperately wiped my face.

"And you."

He dragged his attention towards me and craned his neck towards me. His head was nearly twice my size as he seemed to chuckle at our differences. "You? You are the human that the Gods have decreed will destroy me?"

I lowered my shield and sheathed my blade, the bow on my back resting. "I guess so." I shrugged my shoulders. Maybe if I had surrendered, the dragon would let me off easy.

"Ahahahaha!" the dragon roared in laughter as he pushed down on his legs, "Your spirits will break, and your kingdoms shall collapse from my wraith." In one motion, he leaped into the air and began to circle me, his wings knocking me off balance with every flap.

"And now, you shall pay for your insolence!" He continued to circle me as his voice echoed through the destruction, "Prepare yourself, Chosen One!" He opened his mouth as the spines on his back began to glow a fiery red.

I sighed as I reached over my back and prepared my bow.

There's no way that three years of archery prepared me for this.

I let go and the wooden arrow pierced the air, falling short of the target. The dragon unleashed a cone of flame as I quickly rolled to the side, the fire singing bits of my hair. Without hesitating, I prepared another shot as the second arrow managed to find its target, only the arrow bounced off the creature's armored hide. I tossed the bow to the side as I reached for my holster. I pulled out a double-barreled hunting rifle as I knew I had to all-in on the one shot I had.

"Your pathetic attacks do not hurt a God!" the dragon roared as he dove straight at me, "I grow tired! This ends NOW!" I felt the weight of the world force itself upon me as the creature dove closer and closer to me. I took a deep breath and cocked the gun.

"I've got the beast in my sights!"

I pulled the trigger and closed my eyes.
