Horned Dawnbringer

Twin Catalysts

Knocking me out of the silence, a sudden red flash and alarm began to take over below.

Hand wrapped up in my sleeve now, drenched in blood, I keep crawling throughout the vents.

Some time passed, now, and I began to grow dizzy. Turning throughout this maze made me rather dizzy, yet, approaching the next turn, I spotted something.

Red lights were flashing into the vent, the blaring alarm buzzing louder here. As I approached, the vent began to warp.

Looking down between the grates, a hallway can be seen below. I tried to get a look around but the vent began to bend under my weight.

Not knowing how far I am from the ground, I took a deep breath and slipped out.

It was about an 8 foot fall, but fortunately the landing I got didn't result in any broken bones so that's ay ok.

Guess those years of parkour played off.

Unfortunately, that fall wasn't the most of my worries, but the matter now was that I had company.

I felt like I was being watched as I noticed something materialize on the glass of one of the empty enclosures on the opposite end of the hallway.

I wasn't sure if I was hallucinating out of fatigue or if it was real, but I do know, it was staring me down, ready to strike.

Glancing away, I saw a familiar man at the corner of my eye.

Wait is that..?

Focusing my eyes on the form, my heart began to race as I watched it slowly approached.

I lost complete control, I wasn't sure what I was doing but I don't remember what I said but I knew this fear very well.

Hot tears began to pour out of my eyes as it drew closer, my mind went blank, my chest hurt yet I wasn't able to hear anything...

A dark crystaline humanoid, piercing fully black eyes dead set on mine. I can tell on the strain of my throat, I was screaming now.

I'm almost seeing myself in 3rd person.

A question came to mind, as it stood over me. It felt like I knew him..

"Who are you?" I could almost hear what I said, but it's response was completely unexpected, perhaps it didn't even hear me.

With a swift sickening motion, gravity was gone.

I wasn't sure what was going on as my mind began to slip into unconsciousness, but I noticed something about this creature..

This creature is actually a human, not only that, he's... He's Broski, the Broski.

Reality flashed back before I could even think.

I find myself beside a desk to a terrible sight.

Papers scattered throughout the room, a woman with unnatural colored hair lies face down in front of a desk.

She had no pulse, nor was she breathing. Yet, what felt like mere second ago I heard her lively voice tell me something.
