"Humans! We, the prestiged elven race have co back to take what is rightfully ours! We shall no longer watch as you dirty our planet. Instead, we shall co back as its rightful owners and the original inhabitants of this planet! We shall annihilate the human race for the sake of mother earth!" A world-shaking voice spoke with a calm tone yet laced with sothing deep and endless.
That voice had said those words almost 5 hours ago, and ever since that announcent, I had been trying my hardest to survive against the incoming storm of these so-called elves.
However, now I had found myself trembling on the floor as two corpses lay in front of , blood slowly seeping out of them and staining the carpet. Those were the corpses of my parents who had died before I had even arrived back ho.
Right behind them, however, stood a young girl with long blonde hair, as well as a pair of long pointy ears poking out from her hair and making themselves visible to the world.
"Please, Julia. I loved you! Why are you doing this?!" I watched as the boy cried out, struggling to get out of the iron-clad grasp of the girl who was holding him up by the neck. Fear, grief, and pain could be seen in his eyes, yet not one of them was directed toward the two corpses below him.
On the other hand, tears could be seen coming out of the girl's eyes too, yet her resolve was clear while her determination for her species allowed her to carry out her final order. An order that she might never forgive herself for carrying out.
*Snap*
I could only watch as the boy, who happened to be my best friend, drop to the floor, and join the two corpses on the ground to make them three.
I could feel my eyes well up in tears while my body began to slowly heat up with sothing indescribable. It was not anger, no...
My vocal cords couldn't perform their job as not a single sound ca out of my mouth. My brain couldn't function and none of this felt real.
A burst of psychotic laughter entered my ears before the girl in front of dropped to the ground with an audible thud and cried her heart out.
All of this occurred in front of a white-haired man clad in golden armor with deep white engravings, each one creating a symbol of its own. He looked at her with an expressionless face, yet his eyes betrayed his expression since they radiated with warmth, remorse, and even pity.
"Why?" I finally forced out, causing the man's eyes to dart towards in curiosity.
'I guess he really is the boy of the prophecy...' His eyes narrowed as he peered into my soul, analyzing every fiber of my being.
He looked at my eyes which had begun to stream out in tears. At the sa ti, unlike the rest of my eyes that were filled to the brim with tears, my irises themselves were as hollow and empty as the Sahara desert itself.
"I see..." A wry smile stretched from the corners of his mouth before his arm stretched towards my neck, grabbing off the floor like so kind of weightless item.
"I'm going back to the ship. Don't mourn over the human for too long, you are a princess after all." The man said his departing words before finally disappearing alongside .
Everything around warped and stretched to create a tunnel with millions of different colors, so that I had seen, and others that left srized.
Before I knew it, I was now at a very high altitude while being held up by the neck, consequently strangling in the process.
The surface of the area we arrived in seed to have been made out of a dark gold, bent and molded into plates that had been placed with the utmost mastery.
This was a ship... An enormous one at that.
"I'll kill you!" I tried to struggle out of his iron-clad grip, yet it was all for naught. My eyes were still dull and almost lifeless, yet deep within them, you could see a powerful burning hatred forming and expanding at a trendous pace.
"It's over, Ezra. This is the end of the human race." He finally let go of my neck, allowing to breathe again, yet I imdiately choked on my saliva and began to cough violently.
Looking up, I ultimately t the eyes of a man in the distance, his blood-red eyes piercing and analyzing from head to toe while everything from his aura to his black and red armor scread extravagance.
My body instinctively forced to look away and into the distant cities that had been decimated beyond recognition, and the city under the ship we stood on was no exception.
A scorching hot trail seed to have slit the city in half like a hot knife through butter.
I saw countless battles, all of them being extrely one-sided in the elven people's favor.
This was no longer so kind of apocalyptic event for the human race that would leave barely any of them alive. This was humanity's extinction, and I was watching it occur while standing on the representation of front-row seats.
Anger flared within my eyes as I tried to look back at the man who was clearly the orchestrator of this one-sided massacre. However, I suddenly felt a sharp pain co from the middle of my chest causing to fall to the ground while only being able to simply watch as blood spilled out of my body.
While I knew that the white-haired man was soone who had powers beyond my comprehension, I knew that it wasn't him that had attacked . It was sothing I could tell from his facial expression alone.
It was not one of victory, nor was it one of apathy. Instead, his face was filled with shock and even traces of fear.
"This is not a battle you can fight at your current state... You are still too weak." A voice rang out in my ears before the visual of a foot moved in front of my line of sight.
Before I could react to his words, My vision had already been swallowed by the ever-expanding darkness. A darkness so deep and endless that the mont I focused on it, I felt as if I was before a black hole, slowly sucking in and bending the fabric of space to pull into the endless abyss.
I didn't know why but I could feel my blood slowly seep out of my body and stain the magnificent golden ship we stood on.
My body was becoming cold and my vision had ever so slowly faded.
***
As the darkness swallowed , I could feel my consciousness drift in the cold and ever-expanding void. I could not help but reminisce on the days when everything had been fine, simple, and overall...
Normal.
But due to the invasion, I had lost everyone. I had lost everything.
For countless days before my death, I had been left on the verge of crying after witnessing visions and scenes of my family, my friends, and my girlfriend all dying right before . One could call them premonitions of what was to co while others could label it as a coincidence. However, unlike all these people, I knew better than to give this ability... No. This curse, a na...
I would get short yet powerful feelings of dread that would make want to curl up into a ball and cry myself to sleep.
I thought they were nightmares or so kind of horrible visions which my mind created to torture , yet only now could I understand what they truly ant. Their purpose was clear.
Only after everyone died right before my eyes did I find a reason why I had to suffer so much for the last few weeks.
Before this cycle of hell, I had an amazing life. I had a girlfriend nad Crystal who I was going to propose to in a few days. I had a best friend nad Alex, who I had known for as long as I could rember.
I had a beautiful little sister called Emily who I loved from the bottom of my heart and two unconditionally loving parents who would give up everything they had in a heartbeat for their two children.
To think sothing as precious as life would have been so fragile in the face of overwhelming power.
This seed to be my fate.
After all, what kind of normal human would I be if I could change my own fate?
[Ding!]
[You have died]
[Initiating System Activation]
[Welco... Humanity's Final Anchor]
Those robotic words were the last things I heard as my soul faded back into the infinite abyss.
