Chapter 32 : The Awakening

As I soared through the air, I could feel the devastation around me. The world had changed so much in the 10 years that I was out. The buildings were in ruins, and the streets were empty. There was no sign of life anywhere. It was as if the world had stopped existing.

As I approached where I believed Merlin's base was, my heart began to race. I hoped with all my might that my friends were still alive. I landed on the ground and quickly ran towards the entrance of the base. As I got closer, I could see that the entrance was blocked by rubble. I used my strength to clear the debris and entered the base.

The base was in shambles. Everything was destroyed, and there were no signs of life. I searched every inch of the base, but I couldn't find any trace of my friends. I was devastated. After all these years of fighting together, it felt like they were gone forever.

I decided to head out and explore the world, hoping to find some clues or survivors. As I flew above the destroyed city, I saw the devastation that the world had suffered. The sky was dark, and the air was thick with dust. It was as if the world was mourning its own destruction.

As I flew further, I saw a group of survivors huddled together in a makeshift shelter. They were weak and starving, barely clinging to life. I flew down to them and offered my help. They were shocked to see me, and at first, they were scared. But I reassured them that I was there to help.

I used my powers to heal their wounds and provide them with food and shelter. They were grateful, and they told me about the horrors they had faced in the last 10 years. They talked about the evil that had taken over the world and the battles they had fought to survive.

Their stories only strengthened my resolve. I knew that I had to find my friends and fight against the evil that had taken over the world. I couldn't let their sacrifices be in vain.

As I continued to fly through the ruined world, I finally saw a glimmer of hope. In the distance, I could see a bright light shining through the darkness. It was the first sign of life that I had seen in a long time, and I knew that I had to investigate.

I flew towards the light and found a small group of survivors huddled around a fire. As I approached, they were scared and began to back away. But I reassured them that I was there to help. They were surprised to see me, and they told me about the rumors they had heard of a hero who could fly and had incredible strength.

Their stories only fueled my determination. I knew that I was the hero they were talking about, and I knew that I had to use my powers to protect the innocent and fight against evil.

As I sat with the survivors around the fire, I made a vow to myself. I would find my friends, and together, we would fight against the darkness that had taken over the world. We would bring light to the darkness and restore hope to the world.
