《Origin of Flames》22 StoneKin

"You're getting too big, Bella." "Not possible!" Candles light up in all the stores, Bear! Run!
I inhale as Bella tenses up, "Something's coming!" After a deep sigh, I hear it, a growl between the ringing of the bell. "A bear!" I break out into a sprint, it sounds big as it thuds after us. Bella crawls up my shoulder and hisses at it, "Go away!" The bear roars as I run inside the church, slamming the door behinds us. Candles suddenly light the whole place up, I look for something, a Pew could work! Bella helps me push it against the door. A set of jagged claws slam through the door, and greyish color. I gulp and get the rifle off my back, "Bella! Hide!" Her feet pound away as the bear peeks in with glowing orange eyes, it retreats, then swings it's whole weight through the door. I shoot the few bullets from the gun until it clicks.
I can hear it laugh as it turns to face me, "Cute." Rocks are embedded in it's white fur. I grab the barrel and squeeze it until it turns red hot. I shout, "Try me!" He stands and cocks back a paw. I leap back, but he claws through the wooden stock of the gun. I hold out the rod and he clamps down on it, swings me away. Dust explodes from the floor. It's footsteps pound closer as I emerge from the dust and swing against it's snout. He roars at the pain, but he still seems so unphased. I can't outrun it either. I look up to the cross and apologize for what I'm gonna do. I hop over the pews to get some distance, all while snapping out flames to set the walls ablaze. He gives chase as the bell draws closer. I grip the gun barrel again and heat it up. He lunges for me, I leap back, my jacket finally tears so much, it drops off me. That was too close- His gaping maw hangs over me, he leans down to bite my head off. I scream and jam the rod against his groin. It roars and drops on top of me. I huff at the weight. I hesitate, then let the heat envelop my hand. "I'm sorry!" I push my hand into it's skin and he jumps in pain. I gag as blood nearly sizzles up my arm. He roars and throws me outside the church.

I grab my bad shoulder on one knee. Bella rushes out and the bear gives chase as the church collapses from the inside out. She leaps into my arms and I jump back. Wood beams collapse onto the bear, but it's not enough. He squirms out from under them and I turn to run. "Shit!" I rush through buildings, but he just rushes through their walls like a bull. I snap a flame at him as Bella bites down. With a quick slap, Bella hits a wall and he turns to her. I hop on his back and roar, a fast jab with my hot hand is all it takes to dig into it's back. It roars and slams through the wall, while I ride on his back. I wriggle it around. "Stonekin will kill you!" I roar and he bolts towards another wall, this one's brick. "Die!" He swings his whole weight and my arm slips out with ease. My eyes go wide as my back hits the brick wall. A vicious bear with claws of stone cleaves down at me.
I lean in and scream, stabbing through him with a spear-hand. I wince at the claws etched into my back, we both fall and collapse.

Should we use silver bullets?” “Not bullets, shoot them with canons.” And like that, Ashta ‘reformed’ the old tendencies.

R.E.N/D
In the 22nd Century the world has become a technological dystopia. Mankind has never been closer to godhood, but it has come at the cost of nature and its very humanity. Giant megapolis supercities cover the globe where countries once were, and the United Nations fights an ever-losing battle to regulate giant corporations too wealthy and powerful to be controlled. Aiden King, a young man from the megapolis known as England, has scored 100% on every exam he's ever taken. When he applies to join the United Nations Intelligence Service, they jump at the chance to recruit him - but they have far loftier ambitions for him than making him a simple Analyst. They invite him to join R.E.N/D: the Research, Engage and Neutralize Division - a secret anti-terrorism and intelligence organization founded to foster closer relations between the U.N and rival megacorps. Jumping at the chance to be part of something so great, Aiden accepts their offer. He had no idea the pain and misfortune that awaited him. Sometime later, Aiden wakes up. He has no memory of how he got there or what happened to him - all he knows is that now he's a monster, and R.E.N/D's special operatives will stop at nothing to kill him.
