The air was thick with the scent of blood,a truck quickly fled the scene, its front view dyed red with blood.The driver was as pale as a ghost, cold sweat trickled down his brows as he steeled himself to flee the horrific scene.Meanwhile Noel lay flat on the cold rood his eyes were slowly getting dimmer. He lay on a pool of blood,his blood,his body was broken beyond repair.
He tried his best and moved his head,he saw the truck quickly leaving the area he silently cursed the driver but it came out in mumbles no-one could understand ,his neck lost strength sending his head to lay flat on the rood.Noel lay there his mind quiet for the first time,he thought he would experience the whole life flashing before your eyes but sadly he wasn't granted such a gift.The more he tried the more his mind grew hazy,he was having a hard time staying awake.He thought back to his life,eighteen years of living were going down the drain simply because of a mishap caused by faulty brakes.
He thought of his mother and sister,the only people he truly cared about,he hoped they would move on well without him.And as the world was slowly consumed by darkness, he had it.
"Awaken young one,your time has not come"
The voice sounded either male nor female, he couldn't pinpoint its source ,but strangely enough it brought him comfort?
Was this the end of his story or the beginning of something new,if he knew what awaits him on the other side he would have fought harder to continue on living.
In a world where no one knew existed a pale lady walked on the waters as her pale blue eyes stared at a dying star in the star filled sky.This particular star had a way of capturing her attention.It was such a shame,her fingers trembled slightly.Was she going to break the natural laws and help this dying star?Was she going to risk waking it for a mere mortal?
Her lips curved up,a tiny smile on her porcelain face and with a snap of her fingers the cycle broke,the universe held its breath,an ancient one had made a move ,a bold move that made the upper cosmos tremble
"Don't disappoint me....Noel"
And with that she disappeared as though she never existed.The higher beings of the cosmos waited and saw no changes,some relaxed,some remained vigilant,others searched the cosmos for any sigh and found none.
Else where in the world of Verya in the thick forest of Verdanthos, a young man limbed his way through the endless maze,everywhere he looked he saw trees that touched the heavens above.His dark abyssal hair wad dyed red with blood,whether it was his or someone else's remains a mystery.His body was in a bad state,his left arm was broken and twisted in the most unimaginable posture,a large deep cut on his chest and a broken leg.
But his crimson eyes shone with determination,he was going to live,he won't die,atleast not now.He kept reminding himself at what is at stake.He continued limping mindless,his eyes were slowly getting dimmer,his steps less focused.He bit his lower lip till he tasted iron,he needed to focus.
Some how some way he reached an open area.His legs were trembling from fatigue,he had paled up,from the blood loss.The twin moons hanged low in the sky,veiled by the clouds.
"Dead end"
What he thought was an open area turned out to be a cliff,he silently cursed his luck,his body then moved on its own,driven by some unknown force till the reached the edge.Down below a river rushed,crashing the rock below
"Curses"
His voiced was filled with bitterness and rage,could he not get a break,why must the universe do this to him.He was tired,too tired to continue and with one quick motion he fell into the abyss with a bittersweet smile on his face.
As he fell time seemed to slow down,he stared at the twin moons before everything went dark.
At the edge of the cliff a group of individuals dressed in all black appeared out of thin air.
"Did he get away, the trail leads he"
One of them pointed at the edge
"Do you think he jumped" They all focus their attention at a large bulky man ,who was most probably their leader
"Knowing him he most lively jumped,as for he's survival rate...his most lively dead,whether from the jump or his injuries . Let's leave, leave no trace of our existence.
Glory to the fallen"
"Glory to the fallen"They all repeated the chant in unison and fled the scene.
