Witchcraft Era

A man had difficulty raising himself from the ground.

In his head there were several pieces of information that did not match. That caused him unbelievable pain. He was crouched down with his head between his hands. 'I am Yan Kai! No, I am Waren! I cannot be WAREN! I AM YAN KAI! Where is this?"

The man cut quite a sorry figure. His body was trembling slightly while his eyes looked disorientated. Forced by pain he had somewhat groveled on the ground. His clothes looked so dirty that anyone would have taken him for a beggar, a maniac or a crazy person if asked to describe him.

Inside his mind though, a very miraculous process was taking place. Experiences, feelings, knowledge were being deconstructed and merged together with a new source of information. This new addition seemed ethereal and in the same time as clear as possible. The merging process was creating responsible for the immense pain of the man as excess energy was manifesting itself through pain when two opposite ideas clashed against each other. If this process was visible the weak light of a human's neuronal connexions would be seen as giving light intermittently.

Nevertheless the man was not grateful to the happening at all. His only luck was the fact that part of the pain was slowly dissapearing.

But before being capable of any movement he was suddenly pulled on someones shoulder and forcefully. His mouth stood agape at the perpetrator. It was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen.

"What are you doing? Can't you hear the alarm, piece of trash? The city is under attack! It is because of people like you that the army always gets on the losing side!

The perpetrator was rude, but God she was beautiful. She had short white hair and a stunning pair of wings! Yep! Those were wings! I mean even he realized, as idiot as he was acting in this moment, that those were wings!Butterfly like wings!

Strictly speaking, they did not look like complete butterfly wings. Only the forewings were present. Just like her hair, they were white with a red colored extremity. Yan Kai had stretched unknowingly, due to shock, his hand and almost touched them when the woman trembled and turned around. Her green eyes stabbed into the aforementioned trash like 2 sharp knifes.

"You...I-I will murder you! And I'll feed you to the enemies attacking the city!"

Yan Kai could feel her fury. He remained quiet while the barbarous woman half-ran, half-glide towards the city center.

A load explosion announced the start of hell on earth. Several followed. Fire had began pouring from outside the city. It seemed almost animate as it wiggled and burned anything in its immediate area.

People had mostly been evacuated but the destruction still let Kai speechless. 'My God! What kind of fire is that!'. The woman reacted instantly. She threw him down and ran rose to air in the direction of the wall.

But before she could reach out of sight the wall was breached. A huge chunk straight in the middle of it disappeared. Yan watched the madness absentmindedly.

A hand suddenly touched his shoulder.
