THE DESCENT

The Rocky mountains.

This place was especially known as a land that housed different kinds of dangerous beasts ranging from 30ft long pythons to the ferocious two-headed asura lion. Within the mountains, in a cave, a man could be seen in a lotus position meditating with his eyes closed as a blue transparent sphere that lit up the cave slowly rotated around him.If someone looked closer at the man that was hovering at the center of the sphere, they would see an aged man with a long white hair that extended to his shoulders with a muscular body that seemed to want to burst out of his cloth. This contradicting appearance made one doubt if this man was truly as old as he looked. He suddenly opened his eyes and a smile formed on his face. The blue sphere that lit up the cave slowly dissipated as the man turned into a wisp of green smoke and faded away.

A few seconds later, outside the cave, green smoke gathered to form the figure of the man that was just in the cave earlier. As the man fully formed under the bright sunlight that illuminated the terrain, he looked up at the blue sky, but his expression immediately changed. The face that was smiling earlier could not be seen, instead, an expression of fear mixed with astonishment replaced it. An object moving at an astonishing speed was descending from the sky. As the man saw the object falling from the sky, he immediately clasped his palms together, his fair skin began to turn into bronze color, his white hair started to flutter and his body began to emit a strange energy . A dark blue sphere appeared around him and slowly but rapidly increased its speed as it revolved.

BOOM!!

As the object landed, a loud sound of explosion followed by a shock wave it emitted shot through the surrounding area up to a radius of a thousand meters. The shock wave turned every object it came in contact with into dust and left a black scorched land in its wake, including the mountains and beasts within the affected area.The result was nothing short of a natural disaster!.

Within the affected area, the only living thing that could be seen was the old man. It was all thanks to the rotating dark blue sphere created at the nick of time that he was still whole. The sphere barrier deflected the shock wave and debris caused by the explosion, keeping the man inside it safe.

When the chaos receded and the surrounding area became visible, what was left of the terrain around the object was nothing but a flat, scorched black, barren land. A crater could be seen at the middle of the area. The man cautiously approached the crater to discover what could cause this unprecedented destruction. He made sure to keep up the sphere barrier on in case a dangerous beast emerged from within the crater. As he got close enough to the crater, he could hear crackling sounds of lightning. In the crater a figure was cloaked in something that looked like black ooze . The ooze seemed to exude red sparks of lightning.

The ooze that cloaked the figure started to gather at a point and the figure it concealed slowly unraveled. The figure it concealed was a boy, a naked boy. The boy was dark skinned and had a deep red hair with a plump face that indicated the boy was no more than 4 years of age if not less. As the ooze gathered at the boy’s chest, it started to glow red and immediately dispersed throughout his upper body. The ooze formed strange red glowing characters that looked like writings all over his body and the ooze, or now strange characters, sank into his body and disappeared without a trace.

The man who stood at the edge of the crater was astounded as he watched the scene unfold in front of him. He has never before seen anything like this throughout his life. Little did he know that this event would mark the beginning of a legend’s tale that would be retold throughout the continent, even to the ends of the boundless universe.
