Smoke filled the air, suffocating me, eating away at my final breaths.

My eyes had become blurry, I could barely see, only hear.

The glint of dark, malevolent eyes shone through the woods.

The creature let out its first ferocious howl to signal the others.

With footprints left to mark where they have been, they'll make sure we endure their presence.

They won't leave until they've completed what they've come to do.

Tonight, our city will perish in flames.

Redemption's long gone.
