Bekra Kingdom
Blacksmith POV
I live in a small kingdom on thye south continent shared by all race because of the abundant resources and my name is Eric Stoneworth.
I work as a minor blacksmith on the outskirts of the City of Shan barely capable of keeping food on the table for my family. I have a beautiful wife who is 32 years old and if anyone tells her a spoke her age out load i will will deny ever knowing you existed you know how women can be about their age. (Serious Face)
I also have a perfect two 4 year old baby girls who are twins and i am proud to say i dote on them everyday.
My life was the same for over 23 years and it included just waking early and spending all day in the forge making minor farming tools.
I wont get into the details but i was reeally active at night hehehehe
Then everything changed
I woke early as usual the sun was just rising and went straight to my forge leaving my wife snug in bed.
I stoked the coals getting the fire going but while the forge was heating up i sorted the told and metals i would be using today i was going to do something different and make my wife and daughter matching jewellery as a present.
By the way my wife and daughters are called Akra, Delia and Aura
I saved all the extra gold from the last 8 months work to pay for the materials i was going to make each necklace into a magical charm the metals I used was Mithril, a small amount of Platinum, and silver. They were all in the shape of an Ouroboros
undefined
The Gems i used was a Azure Saphire, a Golden Topaz and a Crimson Ruby with small opals for the eyes.
I spent most of the day forging and shaping the metals leaving small holes on the middle and in the eyes for the gems. Each of the gems were as clear as the stars in the night sky
(PS this world has no pollution the stars can alway be seen)
Just as i had finished the final touches for the last of the necklaces a strange sound started moving through the forge.

HHHHMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
The sound stayed the same for five minutes and at this point a started to thinks it was just the forge fire. But then it suddenly changed pitch at an astonishing rate getting higher and higher with each passing second after about 30 seconds i had to hold my ears to dampen the sound because it was coming from all directions.
CCCCCCKKKKKKKK
CRACK
TSSSSSHHHHHHH (Glass Shattering)
BBOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMmmmm
In that instant terror and adrenalin flashed through my body making me move as fast as was humanly possible out of my forge running and shouting to find out where the girls were.
I was so focused on finding my family that i didn’t notice that the sky had darkened when it was supposed to be sunny in the middle of summer.
I only calmed when I saw them all on the steps of my house looking at the sky. After i saw were they were looking I looked up at were the sun was supposed to be. But it wasn’t there all i saw was i rift 10's of miles wide sucking in the very light itself.
The rift had a menacing Aura like it wanted to rip you apart and leave no trace of you existence. As i looked into the abyss inside the Abyss Looked Back sending unimaginable terror through me again forcing me to try and futilely try and shield my family from it.
FRRRREEEEEEEEEDDDDDOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM
BANG
As i looked in the direction of the sound there was a crater covered in dust obscuring what was inside after the being who fell created the crater the rift to the abyss vanished like it never existed.
The dust cleared slightly leaving a outline of a humanoid after 30 second i saw a small female lying on the ground sleeping peacefully with a golden glow surrounding her she was the most beautiful girl i had ever seen she gave off the feeling of being pure untainted by worldly matters.
I knew the world would change in the near future because of this girl and were she came from i didn’t know.
