Roll a story (made up edition)

Character: Three headed dragon
Setting: Enchanted desert
Problem: Stuck in land of spirits
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The scorching sun beats down onto the sand. The sand wasn't the normal yellow-ish colour though. Instead, it was black, pitch-black. The three headed beast wandered through the extraordinary desert, searching for gems and valuable materials. While trying to find the valuable gems, he started day dreaming about an entire mountain of gems, with him on top of it. While dreaming, he became unaware of his surroundings, he kept on walking until something flashed past him and scared the day lights out of him.

The beast woke up, jumped up and all three heads started scanning the landscape. They saw nothing but the pitch-black sand. They scanned for about 20 minutes before he stopped scanning. When he did, another shadow flashed past him. The dragon stared in shock before feeling pain in his legs. The dragon collapsed before the air turned black and formed into shapes. The shapes turned into creatures that never existed in his world. The creatures back were adorned with spikes that gleamed in the light. It's eyes are blood-red, it's claws and teeth are razor sharp. They snarled and barked at the dragon. Circling around him.

The dragon lost his temper after one of the shadow creatures clawed at his face. The dragon started biting randomly, striking none of the shadow creatures. He has lost his mind now, he is becoming a maniac. The dragon started clawing, biting and shooting out beams. The shadows felt no pain. It seemed as if they were dodging every single move. The dragon swiped them with his tail, but then he noticed why he couldn't hit them, they were all illusions, nothing but spirits stuck in this world.

He suddenly stopped attacking and sprinted away from the shadows. The shadows started shrieking and snarling. After a few seconds of shrieking, it grew silent. The dragon looked behind him, they were gone. He turned back the to the way he was facing and a pitch-black spear greeted him by impaling his chest. The dragon started panicking, pain started surging through his body. He started seeing things of his past, like a mental slide show. He remembered something while watching the past fly through him. He started to keep calm. The pain ceased. The dragon then stared at the spear. The spear flew back and a silhouette appeared before him.

The silhouette looked at the dragon, after a few minutes of staring at each other, the shadow started to speak, at first the dragon was confused, he then found out it's speaking with it's mind, "Telepathy" the dragon wondered "Yes telepathy" the silhouette replied. "You have passed the test, you may leave Limbo". The dragon started feeling excited yet freaked out, "This was Limbo after all?!?" The dragon yelled as if he just found all the diamonds in the world. The silhouette didn't reply and gradually faded away. Darkness started to swirl around the dragon, before he could scream, he was back at the desert.

He got up and forgot all about finding gems and returned home, he began carving on a stone, the word was: "The land of spirits".

This is another Roll a story narrative. Instead of losing memory, the character got stuck in Limbo, instead of a fire dragon, it was a three headed dragon. I enjoyed writing this story, hope you enjoy it!
