Cataclysm
Chapter 1: A Hopeless Situation
"Is that all you got?" a giant purple golem mocked.
Both women fell to the ground their short swords and shields now broken. They knelt tired and exhausted from the battle. The y both tried to fend of the monster that attacked their home town but now lay defeated before him panting heavily and unable to stand.
"Mommy," A young boy screamed as he tried to run to a long blond haired woman dressed in white that knelt before the Golem but was pulled back into the arms of a man who held a young girl about his same age.
"Be strong," The woman replied.
The town was set ablaze by the golem that sought out the soul edge, it was late afternoon and the sun was beginning to set the flames from the town mixed with the orange of the clouds to create a scenic vision of sorrow and despair. Atop a hill overlooking the town a blond haired man stood dressed in a brown overcoat covering his body and a scar running from his forehead down his right eye and settling on his right cheek, he was looking down at the carnage before him. The streets were laden with corpses of fallen men and women who tried to confront the golem. Many of the buildings were ashen now and only one house remained. Astaroth now stood in the house of Cassandra and Sophitia. The masked golem lifted his giant axe to finish off his adversaries. The children and the man were trapped in the corner of the building, the man covering both children's faces, tears flowing from his own as he tightly cradled them tightly not wanting their faces to see what was occurring.
"Maybe we could divert his attention long enough for Rothion and the children to escape," The short haired woman said to her sister who was panting heavily beside her.
"Ha ha ha," The golem replied "I'll finish you all off here!" He exclaimed.
Both sisters drawing on whatever strength they had left in their bodies tried to get up, they could feel the heat from the flames as it engulfed their house, as they looked up their eyes widened in horror as their hope was about to end, the monster held up his giant concaved bladed axe and swung it down with all it's might.
