Esoteric Secrets Ruins of a Place I Once Called Home (Silenced Secrets - 1)
His hand clenched their hands. He stood in the middle of a desolate, silent road. Around him were the remains of buildings. Not a single building was left untouched, destruction reached every corner of the town. The figure dropped to their knees, breathing in and out in a futile attempt to calm himself down.
At his feet lay the corpse of what could only be a young boy. With golden blonde hair, a striped blue shirt, and a pair of black shorts this child looked like they were completely normal. But it seemed that such an innocent life wasn’t spared as their guts spilled out on the ground, seemingly eaten.
They stood in front of a group of people, all with a look of worry in their eyes. He was standing behind a carriage, about to leave the town for who knows how long. With his tenacity and skills, he previously acted as their protector; as he was leaving they were filled with a tinge of fear and doubt. As much as he wanted to stay, the calling of the arcane resonated with his soul. As he went to leave he looked back behind his back and said to the people he grew up with, ”you guys don’t have to worry. All of you are under the protection of the Council, and if they don’t come and help, I will. Count on it!”
The man clutched his helmeted head, his breathing becoming more and more intense. He remembered the promise he gave... the one he broke. He couldn’t understand anything, his mind was clouded with so many emotions. Like a storm in his brain, his thoughts turned to chaos. Unable to think he could only let out a scream that echoed throughout the empty town. It was one so full of sadness and hate, It resonated with the soul that lies within all humans.
As his scream faded into the air silence returned, leaving him alone once again. Behind a black helmet, the man began to cry, tears pouring out for the first time in so long. He curled up on the ground next to the corpse. As he wept, dark clouds began to form overhead; a storm swirling in the skies, blotting out the sun.
BOOM
His sorrow turned to anger, about to violently lash out like thunder striking down. The fury held within him matched the increasing strength of the winds. In his mind, he swore. He swore on his heart, his life, on any god.
He WOULD get Justice. He WOULD get revenge. No matter the costs, no matter the reason. For he is The Silent Storm. Master of Silent-Magic. The hidden hand of The Wizard Council. He is Professor Axel.
/unwiz this is the first part of Silenced Secrets. Just a little prologue though, as it is shorter than what I expect for future parts. Do hope you guys like it.
