The world was turned upside down with the appearance of the crimson crack and the dark dragon. Not to mention the sudden emergence of the mysterious man who vanquished the winged creature.
People from all over talked about the strange phenomenon in Axis. All news outlets were buzzing with its topic. They all gave out questions surrounding the never-before-seen event.
"What was that crimson crack we saw over Axis?" asked one of the talk-show presenters in a program discussing the incident. "Was it real? Could it be just some drone projection?"
"Eyewitnesses from Axis confirmed it to be real." replied another one. "It wasn't just some fake projection. There was actually a crack in the sky that day."
"I was there by the harbor in the city at the time." said a third presenter. "I could tell you the dragon was real. Its scream was real at the very least. Almost tore my eardrums!"
"You're right about that scream, I'd say." said the first one. "My mother runs a crystal decorations shop as a hobby and because of the dragon's scream her entire stock was ruined. My dad always thought her business would not survive, but not like this."
"Tell me about it! All the windows in my penthouse apartment were broken!" said the second one in upset tone. "When I woke up in the morning the next day, I had birds perching all over my furniture! Bird poops everywhere! It was a nightmare!"
"Well, thank goodness the dragon didn't stay for long." added the second one. "Which brings us to another elephant in the room. Who was that man that defeated the dragon?"
"I don't know who he is, but he's hot!" said the first one excitingly. "He looked like the handsome actors in those Chinese fantasy martial art dramas."
"From the videos that people took of him, he did seem to be wearing an eastern robe." complemented the third one. "He also moves like those of eastern martial artists."
"But it's clear he's not just some martial artist. Didn't you see the video where he crossed the city within seconds? And how he could fly, or rather, walk in the air? And how he stopped the tsunamis? And killed the dragon in such obscure way?" stated the second one. "That guy has some supernatural ability. He's not like the rest of us."
"Like superheroes?" asked the first one.
"Hmm… Is it right for us to call him a hero?" wondered the third one. "I mean we don't know anything about him."
"Well, he did save our lives by defeating that dragon, right?" replied the first one. "What more proof do you need? He's definitely on our side!"
"But what if it was staged?" conjectured the second one. "As in he was the one who created that crimson crack and summoned the dragon. And he defeated the creature so he'd look good in front of us?"
"You don't know that!" objected the first one. "Maybe he's just a decent man who wishes to protect us."
"Well, whatever his intention is, I wonder where that mysterious man came from." stated the third one. "Is he from Earth like us? Is he even human?"
"He does look like a human to me." replied the second one. "And we do have legends of strong people like him from all over the world."
"He could also be someone from wherever that dark dragon came from. I think there's a video showing him talking to the dragon. Though none of the footage could sound what they were saying." added the first one. "In any case, it's just a guessing game from this point on. Since we don't really know what the crimson crack was, why it appeared, and why a dark dragon came through it. As well as the mysteries for our mysterious man."
"We sure do have many questions, but I guess these will be the top of the lists." said the third one. "Will the crimson crack happen again and will the mysterious man come to rescue us once more?"
"If he is indeed our hero," said the second one. "then I wonder what he is doing right now."
"Probably hiding in his superhero lair and anticipating the next advent of the calamity that threatens to destroy Earth." answered the first one excitedly.
