The End of the World

In a world populated by more advanced humans, in 7089, a 5-year-old boy named Ragna Blackwalker was abandoned by his parents, but managed to survive alone in Turkmenistan.  During his life he had to overcome numerous obstacles, the boy never felt love, but only hate.  Promising himself to end a world of lies and illusions.  Once he became a man he began his policy of devastation, after he found Harrenhal's long-sought flaming sword.  After all these years tormented by anguish and fury, Ragna's darkest and deepest desire came true, when he discovered that the sword was also an interdimensional portal to a world of fire giants and monstrous creatures.  In that world dominated by evil and supernatural beings, Blackwalker found an army willing to defeat the earth, just for the fun of it.  From the portal on the earth all the creatures commanded by Ragna came out, who with the outstretched sword began to destroy everything he found.  Humans failed to defend themselves, and there was nothing they could do but burn.  And the end of the world began, when the latter fell into the flames of hell.

Giorgio the biggest

During a dark night, in a remote village near London, in medieval times, a fearful, supernatural creature broke in. It was huge, had three heads, and had fiery eyes, resembling the mythological figure of dragons. People started screaming, they were all very frightened, except one, the shining knight, the fearless Giorgio. It, while everyone was running away, took up his spear dipped in magic dust, given by his sorcerer ancestor, and in a long battle lasting more than one night, between fire and flames, George managed to defeat the monstrous dragon... The village took fire, the whole city burned, but obviously the village had to get rid of the dead body of the dragon, so with the help of the people, George led them to a bridge, from where they threw him from the River Thames. The river broke the dragon's spell and the people were rewarded with the construction of a city, a beautiful city, now called London.

It's been two years since my father died. No one knows what truly happened to him.
My mother is calling me to go eat dinner now. It's almost like she doesn't even remember him.
I can smell the food from my room. While I'm walking down the stairs, I can also smell my dad's cologne coming from the living room. It reminds me of all the times we spent together, and how we would play hide and seek and he would always hide in the living room, behind the curtains, every single time.
Everytime I ask my mum what happened to him, she ignores the question and says I should focus on my future and let go of the past.
I've been trying to figure it out for two years, but it still doesn't make any sense. Nothing about that night does.
What my mother doesn't understand is that, in order to let go of the past, I need to know what happened to my dad. And I won't give up until I do.

“I started just like always. I entered the house through the window and made sure nobody was watching or listening. I slowly climbed through the window and at first, I hadn’t seen the dog. I came to the house with the goal of finding new resources, but I didn’t take into consideration the unusual witnesses, it was a rookie mistake. It was all going well, I walked quietly through the house, looking for items for my collection, that I sold afterwards. I went up to the master bedroom. When going through the jewels, I heard dog barks. I was so focused that I thought it was a dog from the street. It had already been a long day, I didn’t remark the dog and hadn’t checked the surveillance cameras. I kept looking for more, I felt so greedy today. I was so focused on the fact that I would earn all the money needed to sustain my family, I finally had all the money to pay for the surgery.
I just had to leave the house and my father would be alright. I was putting everything in my duffle bag, I had already graffitied their wall with my trademark, everything was going perfect until I turned around and saw the dog staring at me.
