It was a perfectly normal day, without a care in the world. But as the day grew long, something strange occurred.<br/><br/>With a blinding light and ear-splitting snap, the sky above their heads split, for just a fraction of a second. It left the men lumbering about below stunned and frozen in place, as they gazed up towards the heavens in question. But just as quickly as the disturbance in the sky had appeared, it was gone as if it had never occurred at all. And so they left, some in a hurry to escape the strange anomaly. None aware what just occurred before their eyes.<br/><br/>Just a mile south, a great crater in the earth had formed, smoldering with hellish fire as it claimed the nearby bushes and trees. Burning away their beauty inch by inch. In the center, stood a smoky figure, a man, who looked much like the others who lived in this valley. His skin still aflame, yet no scream of pain escaped his lips. Instead, he stepped forward, uncaring for the flames as they slowly died down upon his skin.<br/><br/>Soon, they faded as with the flames around him did, leaving his naked soot covered form to step out of the large crater created into the earth. His form perfect, as if chiseled from stone itself in the image of the perfect man. His eyes a bright and fiery yellow that glowed with a fierceness unknown.<br/><br/>With the flick of his hand, the soot fell away like a cloud from his body, in its place, left rather simple leather clothing, much like the clothes that the men wore during this time. He gazed around at the earth, as it bathed in the light of the sun. As it bathed in his light. After so many centuries of slumber after fighting the night for dominance over the sky, he could finally bask in the glory of light. Of his, land.<br/><br/><a class="username" data-user-id="311" data-username="@HellSpyre" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://blackdahliaroleplaying.com/members/311/">@HellSpyre</a>
