Man running wildly in the woods. There is no sign of light as moon hide itself in deep dark aura. Rain is pouring out like mother nature herself crying. Only pitter patter sound of rain is echoing in the woods. Long bang and crack sound of thunder lighting once in a while leave only light to giving view of this never-ending forest.
The man is completely worn out by running, with a trace his exhausted body bumped into a log, he trembled down and fall flat on the ground with a loud thud. But he kept his both hands on his mouth to not leave a single sound. Leaving his one hand on his mouth to not skip any painful whimper he reached his other hand to touch his ankle which is seem broken and bleeding as he touched. He tried to get up by putting his weight on the other ankle but failed terribly. Before he could tired:
A group of masked men appeared drenching in the unceasing rain and he flinched and felt a knot in his throat leaving him at a state unable to breathe or utter a single word. The group of masked men started to take small steps towards him enchanting some spells. He is trying his best to run with all the remaining straight he has but all he doing is, slide his weight with his palms. All the mask man made a circle around him standing one by one at a handful distance and a man step out from the group and lower himself down to match other's level. He's gazing with his black irise on his others eyes which now filled with tears of horror. The masked man took something from his side pocket in his palm and forwarded in front of other man and blow dust cloud in his face. As the dust hit the man's face, he passed out.
The masked group raucous the spell and made a magical halo effect circle above the ground, moving in lighting speed and everyone evaporate from there in thin air.
