Blood. That was all there was. A crimson sea covered everything. Screams of anguish that are deafening but almost non-existent. Men, women, old, young and even children were all screaming from the depths of their heart. They were writhing in a black mist corroding their body and eating their flesh and bones.
A group of fifty assaulters were circling these people. No matter how loud the thousands of victims screamed, their voice was never heard by the assaulters. None of these fifty individuals flinched upon seeing the carnage in front of them, in fact they were relishing in the cries as if they were intoxicated.
The circle around the corroded people started shinning with dim light and the ground beneath them started cracking. Huge dark energy erupted from the cracks and enveloped all the corpses. The very air inside was cracking as if reality itself was nothing but a mirror that's about to be shattered.
All the corpses started melting creating a frightening pool of blood and dark energy.
From within that pool of blood, something was born, no not something but an abomination was let loose.
A bloody black creature with eyes so dark like the abyss and two black horns, emerged from the pool of blood. Its Aura was so suffocating that all the surroundings were shaking from its weight.
"Finally, the day we've been waiting for has come. The seal is lifted from our race. No more hiding. We will reign over this world again"
One of the fifty individuals said while grinning creepily from ear to ear.
In another place, an old man was staring at the wall in front of him with a frown on his face. The wall had a shining writing with only one singleword that said
'SEALED' but was now cracking and blood is running from within these cracks
" The seal is... broken." the old man said heavily.
"Everyone should be prepared.The world is no longer the same" the man uttered softly but the meaning behind his words carried nothing but utter chaos.
"send the envoys to all the major powers in the world. We must prevent the prophecy from happening" the old man said even though he seemed to be the only one in the room.
"As you wish sir" another voice resounded in the room.
In this world, there was a powerful organization called ( The Eternal light) that took it upon itself to be the benefactor of people. Its members are from all around the continent and they are legends, each a powerhouse in their own right. They wielded immense influence over the kingdoms and empires of almost all known continents.
The founder of the Eternal light was known as The First Luminary. A figure so powerful that he was the reason to finding a way to seal the demons. The demons that almost destroyed the world once.
The Eternal light organization has many secrets but the most formidable one was the Prophecy that was left behind by their founder the first luminary that a cursed living being will be born ten days after the seal of the demons is broken and this cursed one will bring chaos and destruction along with the demons in a way that no living being will be able to stop him and the only way to prevent that Destiny was to eliminate the cursed one before the age of 9 where he or she hasn't woken up their link with the mana yet.
Across different empires, kingdoms, power houses and clans, there were many major meetings happening at the same time instigated by the EL's( Eternal Light) envoys to relay the content of the prophecy and the most feared news of the demons seal being broken.
These meetings were not peaceful at all and many individuals had their own thoughts and ideas regarding the news and what to do next but one thing they all agreed about that demons are the absolute horror that is gonna wreak havoc and destruction everywhere and whether they can be stop them like it once happened or not that something no one knows.
Therefore, upon discussing all the content of the prophecy, a decision was made that was gonna affect the whole world.
Every child born with the mark of the curse will be killed immediately whether it was a common person or a prince. They all shall be killed and not given the chance of reaching the age ten. The age where kids start making a connection with the mana of the world.
After the decision was made, the people witnessed horrific acts. Infants no older than a minute were being slaughtered by their parents and families as if they were the most disgusting and sinister creatures alive. They were cut in half, buried and even burned alive. If one looks closely then no one knows which is worse the demons or the perpetrators of these acts. The only justification offered: 'It bears the cursed mark.'
