1 The beginning of the ending

In the distance a female silhouette can be seen walking along to what seems like a decaying forest, the vibrant greenery that is associated with nature nowhere to be seen in the dead silent of the night. The forest was naked with no green and colourful leaves to cover them up.

The moon shone brightly upon the deep red river and falling trees in the distance.

The wind howled and blew a bitter chill pass the dying trees, it danced with the leaves and dragged them away unwillingly from the ground.

The floor was damp and stagnant with the odour of decomposing wood and fresh blood, diamonds pierced the black sheet held up above and looked down with vengeance.

The forest seemed to never end; tall silhouettes shadowing the ground, ravens circling overhead, and battle screams echoing through the wind.

Beady eyes hidden within the bramble scanned the area, oblivious that they were prey to this Forest. A paranormal presence lurked in the essence of the devil's grasp, shadowing each living organism with dire precision.

The female walking through this seemly never-ending forest, walked with a calculated and sinister purpose, her aura was imposing and intimidating.

Hearth shattering battle cry can be heard throughout the surrounding vicinity. With holsters on her hips and both legs and holding a sword made from an elf bone with a red phoenix feather in between the tip of the sword.

Her hair is covering her face completely making it hard to see what she looks like or what she is feeling regarding the fierce battle happening around her while walking down.

With each step she takes Forward bodies crumble down behind her and disintegrating while others perish over, sounds of sword blades clashing together violently blood splashing in the trees and the ground and on the survivors and fighters without any mercy ravens and crows choose that moment to spread their dark wings and fly away and leaving bloody and the horror of the massacre behind them.

Out of hundreds of warriors and demons that came out to fight her none remain breathing to tell the story

Everything stopped

She stayed still from where she stood when the last body perished forever, then lifted her head directly to the sky looking at the only remaining witness of what went down there on that faithful night in a way that contemplates that she is challenging it

As if sensing the heavy change in the atmosphere and the challenge directed towards her the moon shines even brighter letting her know that she is not afraid of her and that it will always be on her side no matter what

She smiled

Within seconds her body started fading away slowly little by little starting from her legs and just like that she vanished from the now decaying forest like as if she never been there leaving behind her the tomb of the obscure mortality

As she vanishes a strong male silhouette appears and remarkably his features cannot be seen clearly but the deadly bloodily red eyes cannot be easily be forgotten

Within five seconds he scanned the vicinity of the fast trees and upon not finding what he is looking for he disappeared as quickly as he came.

And then when he makes his presence known again it was in a city that the female silhouette just destroyed before vanishing again this time male silhouette stopped and looked all around the city noting the holes left in the ground filled with dead bodies and poodles of blood can be spotted everywhere and the smell of death was horrendous

Houses were destroyed and the city on fire, and the flames licking everything on its path.

The buildings, peoples, and animals and all every living organism were being burned down like as if they were nothing more than dirt in some else shoes.

There was a big hole on the ground in the central of the city giving an ugly impression of a natural disaster being responsible for the destruction, but he knows better than that.

Especially when he knows who is responsible for it, and the many more destructions that happened and will happen if he does not get a hold of her soon.

And once again he followed her energy force and that is when he felt it

the pain was so big and intense forcing him to brutally stop and grumbled down on his knees ,his body started shaking so badly the glow of his eyes intensified and he panicked when he thought of the consequences that would follow if he succumb without first getting hold and stopping her, in that moment the pain in his hurt was ten folds more than the physical pain he was going through

He tried talking to her, but their connection was getting weaker and weaker at each passing second and he forced himself to get up

bones on his arm and leg broke except he did not have the time or luxury to moan about his pain and broken bones when knowing that her agony and torment is much worse than what is going through

But when he tried to get up, he collapsed to the floor. Struggle to channel healing energy force to his body bought forth an anguishing painful felling worse than that of hundred thousand daggers sinking into his stomach.

Groaning and screaming with anguish, he writhed about on the floor, clutching his body. His eyes turned scarlet red with the sheer pain and his breathing came out in sharp, shallow rasps. Sweat dripped down the side of his face and covered his forehead in a thin sheen.

The pain was immense, and he knew that he will never reach her if things continue in that way. Closing his eyes to get his bearing and concentrate on the task in hand

In the still of the night, the clock stopped and the pressure on earth and air could be felt and the body of the man writhing about on the ground a while ago started standing up and floating in the air, the wind gradual started building up making the trees dance madly.

leaves leaving the ground worriedly without looking back, plants in the ground seemed not being able to defeat the wind and were ripped and blown out like nothing. The floor ground crack open and then in a flash the floating body was transported and landed in an ancient and chanted habitat with a lake situated in the centre of it.

The lake was the most clear and beautiful blue ever seen, glowing flowers like the glistening sun creeping cautiously through the beautiful, but mysterious forest, majestic trees stood tall and proud, like sentinels guarding a magical territory, the scenario in front of the man is like gazing upon nature version of heaven's vibrant beauty that swallows you in its warm embrace

Butterflies were pirouetting in the air like it had all the time in the world, wind blowing softly on the tree's leaves, different colours of beans of light surrounded them in a luxurious sense of peace

For a moment he forgot the pain and the reason why he founded himself in such a place and just stared at the paradise he was in but then he saw her laying in the middle of the lake unconscious floating above the water surface, inside a colourful and transparent bubble

A loud growling was hear before he flew to her and he got near her, he grabbed her from the dispersing and fading protective magical bubble she was in

Gazing lovingly and worriedly to her, he faintly whispered her name "Shira". His body started relaxing, bringing her body closer to him

He tried waking her up, but nothing changed even when he transferred some of his life force to her, her eyes were still closed, and her breathing were no longer

The sinister and evil aura that was around her moments ago was completely gone, while trying to purify her inner core magic the lake water elevated and surrounded her within a millisecond snatching her away from him and covered her carefully and then broke into little pieces of bean of lights and disappear

His body stood still suspended above the lake, slowly it started falling downwards headfirst realising his magic core to the sky leaving nothing in its awake.

And a soul settling on his portal of creation mostly known to the selected few as the mythical harpy Eagles creator and guardian of the macrocosm
