Tynzien's Saga: Omega Alpha
Prelude: It Begins Anew…
Fire.
Fire,
fire everywhere. It seemed everything was in the midst of burning. Buildings,
vehicles, and everything else you could see, the flames consumed all. All
colours of the rainbow, the flames danced merrily as they consumed and devoured
everything in their wake. The constant series of crackling, crunching, and
shrieking noises as the flames fed their eternal appetite almost seemed to
forma tune for them to dance to.
It
was amazing to Lidrosa that the flames hadn't devoured the road she stood, as
she stumbled along, trying to escape the heat, the smoke, and the fate that had
befallen her city.
But
there was no escape.
She
was only 16. She couldn't die yet. She had to graduate from her school, marry
her dream man, reaise a family, and of course collect every single doll that
had the name Silya stamped on it. She had to be dreaming. That's right,
she was, and any moment she would wake up and resume her normal life.
But
no matter what she tried, she couldn't wake up.
Wouldn't
wake up.
She
stumbled, her lungs trying to pull some resemblance of air into her lungs and
failing miserably as she stumbled along the road. Somewhere another car
exploded, and a building collapsed as its supports were finally too weak to
keep its vertical posture. Her fingers clutched all she had left of her life:
her Chylen Empress Silya doll. It had been her first, given to her when she was
four, and even since then she had desired to claim every single kind that was
made.
In
a way, she had succeeded. She surely had the only one left, because her planet
was a burning wasteland.
Her
family, her friends…all gone. All destroyed and wiped out…by…what?
Lidrosa
stumbled out on the street, her exhausted, battered body keeping her from noticing
the silhouette until it was too late.
The
shock of seeing it sealed her fate, for she lost track of where she was putting
her feet.
The
sharp dagger of stone sank deep into her foot, its heated point sizzling as it
plunged deep into her flesh. She screamed and fell.
Her
eyes teared as she tried to get up, tried to reach around and remove the
shrapnel from her wound, try to get back up and continue her blind search that
would lead her to someone else, anyone else.
Then
the figure was in front of her, and everything suddenly paled in importance, as
she looked up at the tall being that stood over her.
Grey
lips turned up in a disdainful smirk, as a hand composed of grey metal fingers
cracked menacingly. Ti Lidrosa, it was the loudest sound she had ever heard.
"Just
one more." The being said to itself.
Lidrosa
was yanked up off her feet and held up into the air. Trembling like a leaf, she
stared in total terror at the figure's smooth skin that looked real…and yet was
not. At the bizarre hairstyle, one side neatly combed and lying along the back,
the other side standing straight up in a myriad of sharp points. One eye
surrounded by grey metal…and the other seemingly human.
"Why?"
Lidrosa whispered.
The
fingers tightened. The being smirked.
And
then Lidrosa screamed and then vanished as burning energy exploded from within
her and consumed her from the inside. In a second she was little more then ash,
blowing away on uncaring winds.
The
being snorted and lowered his hand. His eyes trailed down and fell apon the
doll Lidrosa had dropped when she had been picked up.
Snorting,
the being took a step forward, crushing the doll under his heel.
"Because
it had to begin somewhere, fleshling."
The
figure set his long legs apart in a stance as he began to call apon his power.
It was time. He brought up his hands as they began to crackle with power beyond
the comprehension of any normal mind.
"And
believe me, IT IS ONLY THE BEGINNING!!!!!!!!!!!!"
The
power exploded around the being, an inferno of fire that melted away the ground
and everything surrounding the being as it rose up. The globe around it
continued to expand, vaporizing everything it touched. Light poured from the
being's chest and eyes as he threw his head back and laughed to the heavens.
Then
the bolt blasted down.
The
planet split apart and shattered as the core was pieced and blown away. The
massive power of the explosion enveloped the figure, drowning out his continued
laughter.
And
then there was silence as the atmosphere vanished, swallowed by fires that were
snuffed out almost immediately afterward by the incredible coldness of space.
As
the fire vanished, the figure reappeared, floating among the debris that had
once been a civilization. Now, seventy-two hours later, it was gone.
There
was no sound, for there was nothing to carry sound.
The
figure laughed on silently anyway. The lack of air meant nothing to him.
Nothing did. He was now sure of it. It was time for their will to be done.
But
first…the being wished to demonstrate his power some more. He wanted the
universe to get a good look at it before it was wiped out.
Laughing
silently, the figure flew off into the darkness of space, hunting for another
planet. He was well pleased.
As
were they.
