Chapter 2 The Awakening
Chapter 2 The Awakening
Earth
A man with long black hair stood in front of the corpse of the young man that he had just killed with a single stab of his hand.
A sympathetic smile curved up the edges of the man's lips before he finally shook his head and took a step back, appearing almost 50 meters away in less than a nanosecond.
"You are quite strong. You must not be human" The white-haired elf concluded aloud, making sure that the man heard the last part of his sentence.
"You are wrong..." The man finally spoke, his deep voice resonating with the air while creating spatial distortions as it left his mouth. "I am human. I am the most powerful human anything in this universe will lay their eyes upon... Yet you seem to not remember me?" the man let out a subtle smirk before once again shaking his head.
After finishing his short dialogue, he did not waste another second as he slid his right foot back. At the same time, he placed his left fist at his hip while stretching his arm forwards, opening his palm, and gesturing to the white-haired man with a 'Come at me' movement of his hand.
"Insolence! The human of the prophecy is dead and yet you dare stand against me!?" The white-haired man began to float in the air, his hair floating up and dancing around in the wind while a chaotic red and black aura, similar to the color of his armor began to shroud him within it.
"Dare?" The black-haired man scoffed before unleashing an Azure-golden aura laced in a deep red, an indication of how many people he had to kill to get to where he was today.
"Let us see who the arrogant one is after our clash shall we." as the aura exploded out of him, it caused his hair to also blow back and flutter in the winds, finally revealing his handsome face without a trace of imperfections.
Simultaneously, his deadly golden eyes with several deep crimson Halo's around his silver pupils locked onto the flying red-figure draped by a red aura, making that very same figure feel a shudder down his spine, a shudder that he had not felt in over tens of thousands of years.
'Is it who I think it is?' The man's face stretched with a cruel smile reaching from ear to ear. It looked like something straight out of a horror film.
At the same time as this battle began, a figure clad in black from head to toe looked towards earth from an ashen grey sphere outside of earth that just happened to be the moon.
He watched at two lights, one gold and the other crimson-red, begin to shine with enough radiance to blind a normal human even if they were seeing it from space. Those lights eventually began to expand further, becoming larger and larger until finally, they had each covered half of the planet with their aura alone.
"Another failure huh..." The cloaked figure spoke out loud, and even though he was technically in a vacuum, his voice traveled through space as if he had spoken into a microphone on Earth.
His eyes narrowed down as his gaze fell upon the body of an unmoving corpse of a boy less than 20 years old. A hole could be seen through the boy's chest, blood gushing out almost endlessly, yet their eyes remained lifeless.
A smirk appeared on the face of the man, however, in an instant, the man disappeared into thin air with his final words echoing through the vacuum of space.
"Look's like I've found my next subject..."

I watched as the number began to tick down every second, and even if I wanted to look at something else, I could not.
Right now I felt like an unknown entity floating in the depths of the abyss that we humans called space. However, unlike what people would usually imagine being in space would look like, I saw nothing but darkness.
There was not a single trace of light, not from the stars that were millions of light-years away from earth, nor the moon that we humans would see when looking towards the sky whenever it is night.
I couldn't feel my body, nor could I speak, turn my head or even move. It felt like I had become nothing but a conscience floating in the waves of the ocean with nothing but water in sight, being forced and dragged to wherever the waves would take me.
At this point, I couldn't even hear my own thoughts. All I could do was listen to the constant dings that entered my ear every time the timer went down by a second.

The sound of me hitting the floor echoed throughout the forest, subsequently causing me to scream out in pain.
