In the world of Remnant

On the plains of an open farm land, a group of four stand in the middle of a diverging walkway. One of them was a browned hair girl pinned with an arrow in the back of her side, and was held down by two other individuals, a boy with mercury colored hair, and a girl with emerald colored hair.

In front of her was a woman that had black hair which covered her left eye. She wore a red and gold dress, and two shoulder less red gloves. Digging into a pocket, she smiles down at the injured girl.

"...Mercury, Emerald, keep her still." Taking a white glove out, she slips it onto her right hand. On the back of it was a red symbol. The girl seemed to recognize it, and began to chatter in fear.

"N-No, stay away..." She mutters as she tries to squirm out. Mercury and Emerald hold in her place as the gloved woman holds her palm out in front of her face.

"Amber, the Fall Maiden..." She mumbles. From the palm of her hand, a red void spawns a white insect like parasite, causing her eyes to contract in horror.

"Please...don't...!" The woman responds with a smile as the insect explodes into a webbing of black. Splattering itself on her face, Amber screams in pain as her eye begins to radiate an orange aura.

It does so for a moment, but the orange light begins to travel its way through the black substance, and into the woman's arm. Eventually surrounding her body, it was then that her right eye garnered the glow instead.

"...Make way for Cinder the Fall Maiden!" Cinder smiles as she attempts to drain the rest of Amber's energy.

Just as she was going to though, from above, the sky turned dark. It was past noon so they had plenty of sunlight for hours. A hole in the world shatters open, revealing a magenta luster of light. Cinder and company, as well as another individual that was about to come in, cease their activities to stare at the hole in the sky. The light began to condense into a small black sphere, which then grew into a bigger sphere of many colors.

The ground below them began to quake and the sphere sparked electricity everywhere. A bolt grazed Cinder's arm, but she didn't react to it much.

"GAGYAGYAAH!!!"

Before they could react to it, an unknown creature appeared with a roar that sounded unnaturally alien. Everyone's eyes widen as it begins to hurl itself right into them. Cinder grunts and detaches the webbing, and stands up.

"Move!" She yells. By now, Amber had fallen unconscious, so Emerald and Mercury had to pick her up and move her out of the way. The person nearby also did so, but not before clicking his tongue.

"...Ugh, is this because of my Semblance..." He groans.

He had spiky black hair and red eyes, and was quite tall. With a red, tattered cloak, he wore a gray dress shirt with a long tail, black dress pants, and black dress shoes.

He and the others watched as the creature crashed down into the earth, creating a tremor that erupted a mass of dirt and stone. Cinder and company laid a fair distance away, and once they came to a halt, walked back towards the site. The cloak man decided to hide behind a tree in order to wait. The hole in the sky did not dissipate, red lightning shooting out of it.

The dust cleared and they got a good look at what it was that crashed.
