BOOM...BOOM...
BANG!
Explosions rained down from the sky like hellfire! The heavens were dyed a crimson blood red, bleeding from the heavy violence. The malodour of gunpowder and explosives, permeated the air, whilst the stench of flesh assaulted the senses. An ear piercing, melancholic melody of terror erupted from the scorched land! One man, defiantly wafted the cloud of smoke away from his vision, bearing witness to the unholy massacre unfolding before his very eyes.
The sky grew dark, covered by thousands upon thousands of soldiers descending upon their prey. A gunfire cacophony, exploded upon the people below! Each round fired, sounding like a murderous morse-code. Guns, specially modified to erase the Melanin race. A people who possessed strong bodies and special abilities, adequately dubbed as Qudra!
A domineering presence loomed ever closer, as the ground rumbled and quaked under the innumerable tank-tracks that trampled the earth.
The roaring machinery, the deafening tank blasts that fractured the air... truly a deathly eulogy. A requiem for lost peace...Tormented cries, caught the man's attention. This was more than a senseless genocide. This, was a systematic culling! For in their violent vehemence, the attackers were chaining up and shipping away a great number of the Melanins, by both sea and sky. Oh how those who still drew breath, wished to be among the fallen. Oh how the fallen, wished to draw breath, that they might smite their killers in vengeance!
Through the bloodied chaos, a muffled plea for mercy beseeched that man's ears. "J-Jinto will save me (cough) he always does.. you'll see, you'll be begging for mercy!" a little girl sputtered, trying not to suffocate.
A soldier scoffed as he forced the girl's face into the wet mud. "Ha! That Jinto is nothing more than a world destroyer! We're doing humanity a favour by getting rid of your kind. Those we spare should thank whatever silly statue they believe in, they'll have the opportunity to serve the superior Casians! As for your Jinto.. He'll be under my boot, writhing in the mud where he belongs, just like you right now!"
DM! Immediately! A burning hand grasped the soldiers face, slamming it into the ground! "UNDER YOUR BOOT HUH!? GO TO HELL!" Jinto bellowed, as his hand slowly seared the soldiers face.
"MMMMPHH! P-please! I was just following orders! PLEASE! MERCYYYY!" the soldier wailed in agony.
A spiteful grin of pleasure creased Jinto's face, before he silenced the soldier, permanently...
A repugnant smoke billowed upwards from the smouldering ashes of his face...
"You sure can be scary when you want to be, good thing you're on our side!" the little girl remarked. She lulled in her thoughts, then at once, fervently gripped Jinto's trousers! "MY PARENTS! Where are they Jinto!? Y-you have to find them, you just have to! We got separated and then- and then..!"
