With the howling of wolves in the great forest, above which towered the mighty mountain range as far as the eye could see, its snowy peaks piercing the clouds, below the forest was the empty space between the two great lakes, where five knights in white, armored armor that reflected the sun's rays, walked with their horses. They were riding over a large, strange, circular land that formed a huge area that reached a vast expanse that could not be seen from its beginning to its end. Its shape was pure white without grass, although the surrounding lands were full of trees and green plants. However, the clean land was not dead soil but ordinary, yet empty.
"Strange!"
"Man, haven't we arrived yet?"
"Are you sure this is the place?"
"What kind of question is that! The sacred capital of Arkan should be located here. "
"Well, I've never been here before."
"All of us, not just you, but I heard that the capital is between two large lakes."
"We're between the two lakes; where is the capital, smart guy!"
"Let me see the map."
With many questions and surprises, the knights, whose horses had never set foot in this place before, were astonished by the lack of consistency between the city they wanted to reach and where they were now, even though the path they followed on the map was correct; the capital was not there. The intensity of their confusion was increased by the sounds of wolves from the dense, dark forest.
"I'm sure we're on the right path."
"Yes, yes, just hurry up before the wolves eat our asses here."
While the knight was looking at the map to make sure, two knights gathered around him to make sure for themselves, while the other two were looking, one to the north and the other to the south, cautiously.
"It's the right path; what's wrong with you?"
"Yes, but let me see for myself."
"Don't pull the map out lest you cut it, you idiot."
While there was a semi-heated discussion between the three knights who had the map between them.A small stone fell on the knight who was looking north, and it hit the armor of the knight who was absent-mindedly looking south. "Damn, what's wrong?" The stone woke him up from his reverie.
"Stop this silly game."
"Huh! What game!"
"Damn, don't act--"
Suddenly more stones started falling as they grew larger; the two of them raised their heads to see a sight that made their blood run cold.
"Oi."
"Screw the mission let's go back"
"Oi."
"What's wrong! What's with these falling stones!"
"Look."
"Ha!" They raised their heads to see the sight that if they had not seen it with their own eyes, they would not have believed.
"Are you kidding me!"
A huge city with its buildings collapsing upside down, hundreds, even thousands of corpses began to fall like meteors coming from the huge city that blocked the sunlight. The knights fled quickly, screaming involuntarily at the top of their voices, trying to get out from under it, escaping between the falling corpses, hoping to reach the distant light that was considered outside the range of the huge falling city, hoping that no corpse would collide with them.
"Run away, you idiot." One of the knights fell after his horse stumbled; his horse ran away, and the knight got up muttering, "Damn it."
Huge stones fell on him, turning his body to jelly from the force of the physical crushing that his body was subjected to, announcing his death in a cruel manner.
The four knights approached, only to discover that the light was merely an empty space between two parts of the city that had been turned upside down.
The hope they had believed in turned out to be nothing more than a temporary ecstasy driven by their survival instinct. With overwhelming force, the city, which had collided with the ground, crushed the knights.
Their screams were silenced by the resounding impact, a collision so powerful that it made the site of the city's fall produce a sound many times louder than thunder. The force of it shook the hearts of all the animals that fled the area, heralding the creation of a new form brought about by destruction.
As for the collision and the resulting cracks were undeniably catastrophic, wiping out the beauty of the lakes, forests, and lands, as well as the life within them.
As the mass destruction occurred, the Five Knights were the only living martyrs to witness it before they breathed their last.
While amidst the dust flying on the horizon resulting from the destruction, tens of thousands of fallen and scattered corpses appear in a strange and confusing manner.

After several lean days, in a great cemetery with thousands of graves, there were soldiers in black uniforms, holding their rifles in parallel, firing as a kind of tribute to the dead.
There was a very beautiful white-haired girl, in a gray dress, sitting on a grave, hugging her red-haired friend in her shining white armor.
"Akriod." A girl said in a sad tone the name of the grave's owner.
