Gary & Sire As they look off into their home.

Once upon a time there was an alien named “Gary”, and his alien dog, “Sire”. They both lived in a special unfortunate planet that was only made up of imagination, mystical creatures, and colors. There was never a dull time they lived on this planet since there was so much fun there was so much fun they were able to have and different things to do since both of them were magical and creative with ideas. There was no limit to what they could do as long as they were together and didn’t mind facing the challenges that their planet Astoria had in store.

On this magical creation of a planet named Astoria, there’s different types of magical creatures that Gary and Sire would have to face along their misadventures of having fun and exploring the world. Some looked as if they were three times the size of a dinosaur, but made exactly in the image of a Tiger. There was also different creatures that were small as Sire, but had different powers as if they were magically created in a laboratory. The skies of this planet were made up of different neon colors with a glow to it everytime they looked up. Everything was fun during the day, but when the blue moon raised to the sky at night, the mystery began.

Gary’s parents passed away when he was twenty-one and now he was 24 soon to be 25 in six months at the end of the year. Sire had been with Gary ever since he was a little boy and his parents were still around. As long as Gary had Sire he still had a little excitement left inside of him. There was no way anyone could tear down Gary’s curiosity towards living the fun way of life. Gary worked at the Ice cream shop a few blocks away and would come to Sire with a fresh scoop of Ice Cream that he loved everytime he would come with it. Gary only made a couple hundred every couple weeks do he was ready to leave that place of employment.

It all started when Gary was asleep in his bed after work. Sire started barking to wake up Gary as he was all asleep and couldn’t wake up from nothing. There was a sharp purple neon light outside of the building that Gary seen upon his awakening from an after work sleep. As Gary looked outside his window he seen grass that were the color purple with little trees and it looked as if the color of the sky was black with different color aromas in the atmosphere. As Gary and Sire walked outside of the building they lived, they seen a magical space creation of clouds and it was not so cold outside.

Gary couldn’t believe what he seen but he knew that it was a bad location he’d arrived upon. Sire had one creation that he came with that no one believed, he was able to speak along with dog barks. That was something that Sire had that no other dog was able to have. The best thing that Sire could do was read most of the things in Gary head before he was able to see what was coming before him. As they took on the world of mystic creations Gary wasn’t ready for the magical and inhuman like things that were created in this new planet named Astoria.

As Gary and Sire started their good and long journey on the new planet of Astoria, they noticed unfamiliar things that he didn’t recognize on the planet of Earth. The trees we’re long and slim with sharp sticks from the top to the bottom. The flowers were different colors on each pedal, Gary was amazed by the sight he had seen on this new planet. They took a good long walk along the trees and flowers of Astoria until they came across the first mystical creature of their adventure.

This new Animal Gary & Sire came across had to be the size of a T-Rex, but was an actual Tiger like stated, in the beginning of the story. There was a bright blue glow to this Tiger like he/she was electrical and pink striped all across as if it was a zebra. Gary didn’t know that the color and appearance of this animal was not a compliance for what he was about to face. He was about to have the biggest duel with an animal that he never had before. He loved the creation of the of animal that he didn’t know he was a threat to his living. Luckily for Gary, he had powers that he didn’t realize he was born with and could unlock within seconds of close danger or emergency with a sharp blade twice the size of him that was attached to his back whenever he felt a threat or someone challenging him.

The fight between this Tiger and Gary started off very bad. The Tiger took one claw attack towards Gary when he felt the attack coming towards him his sword instantly appeared into his hands and blocked the claw attack. This was the start of a good fight between Gary & The Tiger of Astoria. He took one slash against his glowing blue body and gave him a long gashing cut that bled green blood. This only made the Tiger get back into a stance. That sword was given to him from the creation of his ancestors and was only meant to use in times of desperate measures. Gary knew nothing about it until it became time to battle.

Once the Tiger gathered its stance ready to battle once again with Gary, he noticed that the Tiger also had a special creation to it. The Tiger grew an extra two heads to it with the colors of orange on one head, and purple on the other. For Gary to defeat this animal he was going to have to be able to cut the heads off of this big magical creature, then the Magical Tiger would be defeated. As Gary stalked upon the Tiger he took a huge leap with his sword and attacked the Great Tiger of Astoria. With the magic being in his sword the sword was able to cut all heads of the big furious animal with only one slash! He didn’t know how powerful he was with the Sword he was gifted and the strength he’d gained but it was extraordinary.

Gary and Sire continued their long journey on the new planet of Astoria when he noticed a green moon in the sky glow with a bright neon sparkle in the sky. When this moon appeared in the sky this was a sign that it had became dark outside and it was time for Gary and Sire to find somewhere to rest. Also, when the green moon appeared in the sky you could see a small sharp green emblem in the middle of Gary’s forehead. Symbol was special for him and stood meant that he was also given special powers that he didn’t know anything about until then.

Gary never talked much but whenever he had a questionable thought he would talk to Sire. Sire didn’t speak as much either but he knew a few words and that’s what kept Gary going. Just the sound of Sire’s words made Gary smile and keep going about his day. Soon, upon their journey, Gary didn’t know was that they would be facing another Big magical creature from Astoria. This was a big Island Lizard about the same size of the last defeated creature but bigger with a sharp yellow glow and a long red tongue with spikes that could poison anything that it touched. Gary realized that this fight would be bigger and much harder than the last.

When Gary approached this new creature the emblem soon started to throb on his head with its green like glow that was to let him know that he’d came close to an immediate threat that would be able to end his life. He grunted with emphasis and asked Sire what else did he think he would be able to do. Sire also didn’t realize what this new creature was called but it was very poisonous and was able to kill Sire with one attack as well. This was no fight for Sire to join. The Lizard struck its tongue at Gary and tried to wrap around him to the point that would die instantly. Sire stared at the attack and felt the need to try something before the tongue killed Gary immediately. A purple glow came to Sire’s eyes and shot at the lizard of Astoria which made the lizard blow up on impact.

Looking at what Sire did to that magical Lizard was unbelievable to Gary’s eyes but it was possible. It seemed as if Sire had powers just like Gary but only showed in time of need as they did for Gary. Sire powers seemed strong but They both known that his powers weren’t as strong as Gary’s powers. After the defeat of the Lizard of Astoria, much sleep was needed. They both found a quick spot under a sliver and platinum tree where the scene was all white and it wasn’t very cold. They rested for a good few hours before the black storm would return in the morning and they would have to get going.

This is not the end of this journey for Gary & Sire as they would return on their quest while fighting off new magical creatures, and creating a new life on a new planet they’d call home. So far after fighting off two dangerous monsters from Astoria they both noticed the great powers they gained along the road. A great return of these two will bring on a setting like sub-planet to Astoria as time continues with different types of creatures to fight off. If they’re lucky they may have an account of two planets on their hands, but would they be able to make it to the next chapter on The Tales of Gary & Sire In Astoria?
