The sky was a black like the souls under it. Their eyes hungry. Below them their prey laid on the ground. Covered in blood and mud. Hiding their face. They couldn't believe there eyes. After all this time. All those lies. This is how it would end.

"Yes, you have. You've told that I was just a man. That I was just an image. I am very much real." The man from below looked up with wide eyes. Glancing at the person next to them.

Not black or shadowy, Luke the others, but flesh like that of a real man. He couldn't be, could he.
"Please, I take it back. Please. Please." The man yelled as the shadows rushed upon him. His screams filled the air.
"You can not take back something you have already done." With that the earth around the man crumbled into ash.
