Present Day:

The landscape was scorched, a flaming ruin of a populous city. The roar of a giant creature can be heard in the distance. The sky was red with a black hole full of nothingness. Down in the streets below, conflict was brewing.

A winged-reptilian creature the size of a car slammed into a wall. It got back up and roared at its attacker. It was swiftly stabbed in the heart in a blue-blur of speed by a magnificent golden sword. The beast roared in agony before going limp and silent. Its lifeless corpse fell to the ground.

She held her flag upright as she stood over the wyvern. The polearm itself was dark blue with silver flanges. The flag was white with gold trim that split towards the end. It was emblazoned with a Fleur-de-Lis, a prominent symbol of her homeland. The woman whispered:
