I looked at the my computer. It was not much but it was nothing but helpful in the last few months, it was better then a notebook but much more complicated.
I got up from my chair and looked at my surroundings, everything was in its place, but nothing was enough to snap me out of my boredom as I couldn't sleep.
I did a little session of daydreaming, it helped stave away the boredom but it was ironic that since I had a good imagination, I could not draw if my life depended on it.
I imagined a creature that was the pinnacle of evolution, it had a ravenous appetite as it devoured flesh and used the biomass to grow and evolve. The inspiration for this creature was from the game prototype and I suddenly developed a need for sleep. I laid in bed and easily fell prey to sleep and it happened too quickly to be normal.

I felt my eyes open as i saw what would be called a chimera, the sight alone would cause a man to run away, but i had the feeling it had no thoughts of devouring me, instead it looked at me with an interested expression and scratched its beard as it thought of something. it suddenly smiled, and i realised that a smiling chimera might not be the safest thing and so i slowly backed away in hopes that i might have an extra second. 

"Why are you backing off in a time like this?" the thing said with a slightly mocking tone.

I stared at him with my mouth agape, I probably did the best fish impression.

"You do have an active imagination, I wonder how you would react if I sent you to a certain place as a certain creature" he said with a smile.

It took me less then five seconds to realise he meant the creature I thought of, but i didn't get what he meant when he mentioned a certain place.

"What is this land you speak of" I said while hoping for a straight answer.

"You'll see soon enough" he said while he clicked his paw three times and sent me flying into nowhere.


2 HOURS LATER

"ugh my head, it hurts like shit" I groaned out while put my hand to my head, only to realise my head felt slightly slimy and hard.
To say that I was surprised would be an understatement. I checked my entire body to realise that I was the same creature of my imagination.
I checked my surroundings and saw that I was surrounded by a forest. I would be scared if I was human, but then I realised I had a body that could be hit by a train at full speed and not get hurt. I felt a strong smell to my left and I turned around to see a platoon of gryphons, I approached them and then they freaked out.
The gryphon with the longest sword had the leader role and he ordered his soldiers to fire at me. The arrows barely did anything to me, they mostly bounced off but two managed to get through my tough hide, I felt them but they gave no pain. I decided that they needed to be dispatched, so I charged at the leader with full force knocking him at a nearby tree. a snap was heard as his spine was damaged beyond repair, the other gryphons charged at me with full force. I felt my primal rage overtake me and all I saw was red.

The nearest gryphon charged at me but I grabbed his talon and slammed him over a rock which effectively shattered his ribcage. I felt a swing of a sword on my back and I turned around to face the gryphon, he sheathed his sword and pulled a crossbow out. I grabbed a rock and hurled it at the gryphon, the rock dazed him long enough for me to grab his head and rip it clean off of his body with the spin still attached to the head, I felt a strong surge of power as tendrils sprouted from my body and they ripped through my foes as if they butter.

I saw the last gryphon looking at me in terror as he pulled his knife out.

"Take this you fucker" he shouted as he charged at me with his knife pulled out, i grabbed his forearm and twisted it until it snapped and then I sliced him open with my nine inch claws, I left him for dead.

I looked at the bodies wondering what to do with them until my hunger surfaced.

"Maybe I can cook them for eating" I said to myself.

The bodies had a fragrant aroma to them, They smelt delicious and I wondered if I should cook them.

"That would get the taste out of the meat and proteins" I voiced my opinion to no one on my methods.

I decided to rip a leg off of one of the gryphons and took a bite out of it, I couldn't be bothered cooking them if they taste this good already. I went feral as i ripped hunks of meat out while swallowing them down, it was a bloody feast and when I was done, everything went wrong, guts were everywhere and the broken bones of gryphons were scattered across the area.

I looked at my bloodstained arms and realised that I just devoured sentient creatures.

That one memory will haunt me for my unnatural life but then i realised i can't just stay there and think about what i done because there could be more griffons and if they saw me covered in blood then they will mark me as a beast to be slain.

I begun sprinting away from the site at inhumane speeds, I didn't know what to do so I decided to stay quite until I figure out what to do, I looked around and saw a cave.
Nothing inhabited the cave so I walked in and decided to rest, everything went black as I fell to forced sleep again.
