Dust to Hope

Gen 1 Chapter 18 (Frail Imprisonment Part 9)

The man looks around and then asks "What year is it?"

Fredrick replies with "It the ending of May, 2009."

Stephen looks shocked to see him, and he says "I remember trapping him in that monster, I remember trying to kill him."

"So, he's long dead..." the man says with a sadden tone. "lets get a drink this deserves a celebration!" The man says excitedly.

Fredrick looks mortified while looking at Stephen.

The man then introduces himself, "I am Thomas Elliot, otherwise known as 'The Crow' but I'm sure, I'm long forgotten by now." He says that as he admires the chaos going on outside. "ya know I think I gained something from being in that monster for so long. But, I have no idea what that could be at the current moment."

Fredrick tugged the zipper on the coat and turned it into the cloak again but instead of a drab grey, it turned into a lively dark blue with yellow highlights. He put his arms out with his fingers open and, purple and black wings spawn from out of his back.

Fredrick says, "The bar is a couple blocks away." And then flies off to help Gregory.

He flies a few miles to see Gregory nearly beaten to death. A crowd of monsters surround him but Fredrick drops down and produces a shockwave that it shakes the whole city.

Gregory wakes up to see wings of hope, Fredrick's wings of hope.

Fredrick says noticing the monsters fleeing, "They seem to be scared of me."

Gregory coughs up blood and mutters out, "Y- yeah."

Fredrick grabs his arm and puts his arm over his shoulder, walking over the rubble, going towards the sounds of sirens. They both see the destruction that the chaos has brought. They need to be the hope of this city. Gregory started to walk on his own and limbed towards the lights.

There is hope.
