"People like the idea of a new world, but without the danger"
***
Screeching of tires pierce the air.
Sirens ring passed as stop lights blink red.
A countdown signaling a pedestrian walkway starts.

WALK
Hundreds of people walk along the horizontal white lines that lead across a wide concrete area.
Huge concrete and metallic buildings touch the sky as glass panels across the exterior.
Small cars and public transportation fill the road along with loud honking noises that can be heard from a great distance.
The world as chaotic as it may seem had a sort of peace to it and everything felt organized and in order.
This world was comfortable and no one was ready for what was about to take place.
People no longer needed to be of high status to live a luxurious lifestyle.
Everyone had access to the same opportunities and bias was only a figment of past mistakes.
But everything was about to take a turn for the worst and no one could have been prepared for the death and terror to come.
***
In a sudden moment perspective flashes as the world fades away hinting at a possible future.
Major cities across the world appeared to be in ruins.
A tank deemed inoperable littered across a wasteland as metal skyscrapers peek their heads out of the ground.
A huge figure stands menacingly above it all.
Its shape was large and it looked to have sharp teeth, scales ran across its back as the creature's long neck hovered above the sand.
It looked as if it was covered in a blood red with its underpass the color of glistening sand.
It had four large wings sticking out of its back and huge arms with scales running across its limbs in a unique but organized pattern.
The creature looked majestic and beautiful.
However Its terrifying stance gave off the impression that it was ready to strike at the closest thing that moved.
Disfigured cars and city landscape scatter the environment.
But with a little glimpse of prolonged hope a group of people stand in front of the terrifying creature.
They appeared at the ready but you could tell their hope was only fading.
The group carried a wide diversity of different weapons seemingly from an entirely different world.
Their weapons glowed and they wore unique armor stylized if straight out of a fantasy manga or light novel.
The creature stood over them like that of a mountain looking down upon them.
It held a level of fear and pride as it let out a loud menacing screech towards the group.
Then…
….Pitch black
Darkness devours all the light it can find as a humanoid figure glowing in a black red emerges.
The figure appeared to be human in nature with male anatomy.
He had messy hair and his face was blacked out.
His physique was toned and well kept.
His left hand grasped frantically as if it was holding onto life or death, but he could only wield the empty black space.
His right hand firmly held a large bright sword.
A faint ringing sound could be heard from the glistening yellow sword as it was grasped by the figure.
His arms lay by his sides and as he looked up he said "Ins..anity."
Darkness sets in...
Fading...
Fading...
Fading...
Until panels of pitch black span endlessly into vast space.
