Quick feet rushed through the dark forest, their cold and tired breaths mixing together. There was complete silence. The birds, crickets, and even the wild animals had all hidden away. They wanted to avoid meeting the person or 'thing' that held such a strong presence, making the forest itself afraid.
The quick feet stopped suddenly. Breathing heavily, they scanned their surroundings as the darkness seemed to close in on them, but they knew they didn’t have much time left. A piece of black cloth was wrapped around something in their arms, and they held it tightly against themselves. Out of nowhere, a dark shadow appeared. This shadow was threatening and lacked a face; it had only a head and a body, both covered in a dark energy.
The mysterious person didn’t seem afraid; in fact, they looked ready to fight. As they prepared to confront the shadow, more shadows unexpectedly appeared, rising from the ground and closing in on them. They were outnumbered. There was only one option left: to destroy it. Before the shadows could get any closer, they unwrapped the cLoth, revealing a large golden globe. At the sight of it, the shadows hesitated and began to drift away.
"What do you think you’re doing?" a dark, threatening voice echoed. The unknown person froze, startled and scared, their eyes wide with fear.
"It’s like I can smell your fear," the voice sneered, throwing its head back in laughter. But then, it became serious.
"If I were you, I would give up and hand it over." The other person stood tall, speaking calmly.
"I will never give it to you. Instead, I will do the worst," they replied. The man stared off into space, lost in thought, his brow furrowed. Then he focused back on them with narrowed eyes and asked,
"And what exactly is this 'worst'?"
They lifted the globe, and he suddenly realized what they intended to do. Alarmed, he wanted to rush over to stop them. But before he could move, they smashed the globe onto the ground.
"No!" he shouted, staring at the shattered globe on the floor. His jaw clenched and his nostrils flared with anger as he commanded the shadows to attack.
Before they could get any closer, the shattered globe started to glow. Its light became so bright that it made the shadows scream in pain and vanish. The man shielded his eyes from the bright light and stepped back. The other person, just as confused about what was happening, did the same. The light became blinding, leading to a massive explosion that destroyed everything around it.
After this event, the forest returned to its peaceful silence, but now it was heavily damaged. Neither the man nor the mysterious figure could be found, and the golden globe was also missing and the lives of four individuals are about to change either for good or bad no one knows what the future holds for them and for the world.
