The golden light of Dawnbreak City had returned, but for Pam, Kevin, and Liam, the world still seemed shrouded in the strange, unreal haze that had enveloped them during the battle. The partial eclipse had caused widespread confusion, but only they had seen the true nature of the fight that had taken place in the remote outskirts of the city.
For a few minutes, none of them moved. Each was lost in their own thoughts, still processing the incredible battle between the masked figure on the flying skateboard and the three-headed shadow creature. The adrenaline rush was starting to fade, replaced by an overwhelming sense of shock and disbelief.
Pam, still clutching her camera, felt her hands trembling. She had been sent to Dawnbreak to document the creativity and innovation of the city. Instead, she had captured something far beyond what she could have ever imagined. Kevin, crouched behind a tree, let out a long, shaky breath as he finally stopped recording. His camera hung loosely around his neck, but the footage he had captured was still burning in his mind. And Liam, the travel vlogger, stood frozen on the hill, staring at his camera's screen in disbelief.
It was only when the three of them glanced around and saw that the eclipse had passed, and the city was returning to normal, that they realized the full extent of what they had witnessed. In the distance, they could hear the faint hum of life in Dawnbreak resuming-people going about their daily routines, completely unaware of the battle that had just taken place.
The three exchanged glances from their separate locations, not yet aware of each other's presence, but sharing the same thought: "Should I tell the world about this?"

Pam was the first to act. Still in a daze, she took a deep breath and turned her camera over in her hands, looking at the photos she had just taken. They were remarkable, each one capturing the intensity of the battle with stunning clarity. The golden energy from the masked figure's attacks, the dark tendrils of the three-headed creature, the eerie contrast of the partial eclipse-she had documented it all.
Her fingers hesitated over her phone as she thought about uploading the images to her social media account. She had a decent following, mostly from her photography portfolio and a few art-related posts. But this-this was something completely different. Her teachers had asked her to capture the creativity of Dawnbreak, and in a way, she had, but this was no simple art scene or musician performing on the streets.
"Should I post this?" she wondered, her thumb hovering over the "upload" button.
Before she could second-guess herself, she hit the button. Within moments, the photos were live on her profile. She wasn't prepared for what would come next.

Across the city, Kevin leaned back against the tree, still trying to process what he had seen. His fingers were shaking, and his heart was pounding, but he knew he had captured something extraordinary. He glanced down at his camera, his mind racing. The deadline for his online contest was still looming, but this footage was far too important to keep to himself.
With a deep breath, he pulled out his phone, transferring the video clips he had recorded. He hesitated for a moment, wondering if anyone would even believe what they were seeing. After all, a flying skateboard and a three-headed monster seemed like something out of a fantasy novel, not real life. But the footage didn't lie. It was there, clear as day, in his camera.
Kevin uploaded the video to his social media account, captioning it simply:
"This just happened in Dawnbreak."

Liam, standing on the hill, had already uploaded his footage by the time the others were still debating. As a travel vlogger, he was used to sharing spontaneous and sometimes unexpected moments from his trips, but this was on an entirely different level. He wasn't sure if his audience would even believe what they were about to see. But he didn't care. He knew what he had captured, and he was certain this footage would go viral.
