Chapter 1 - Prologue

~??? POV~

I sprint through the streets, keeping my head down. I bump into something and when i look up, i see a giant man towering over me. I feel a glow in my pocket and a ghost of a creature appears behind the man. It's easily shadowing the large man. It's fangs droop down low over it's lip. Saliva dripping from it. The creature moves closer to the man and when it's close enough it opens it's mouth and reaches down on the man. It's gaping jaw getting closer to the man's head.

Closer, closer, closer. I jump away from the man with less than a centimeter to spare. As soon as i break contact with the man, the creature vanishes, it's mouth passing harmlessly through the man as it fades.

I turn and run away from the man again. I hear calls of worry as he chases after me, but i soon leave him in the dust. I climb a wall and sit on the edge of a roof, overshadowing a river. I take the crystal out of my pocket. It glows in my hand and i feel a presence behind me. I don't turn round and ignore the creature that sits on the roof next to me. It's monocrome eyes brimming with tears as it calls out silently. I feel something on my back. I turn to see the creature, it's eyes bristling with anger as it cries, with a silent roar it pushes me off the roof. I fall, scrabbling for a handhold. Finally i grab a drain. I look up to glare at the creature. But it's gone.

Thats when i realise the crystal is gone.

Looking down, i see it smash against a rock before being dragged away by the river. I can do nothing but stare at the river. The highly dangerous object that has now been broken, released and spread into a large area, only one thought crosses my mind.

'I'm dead.'
