With an eerie silence hanging over the ShadowHart clan's residence. Jayden stands before the closed door, still haunted by the memories of the Night of the Moonlit Massacre. Alex, filled with a mix of fear and curiosity, anxiously awaits Jayden's revelation
"Behind that door, the shadows of the Night of the Moonlit Massacre cast a darkness that eclipsed any birthday celebration. As I turned the knob, the weight of the unknown pressed upon me. The door creaked open, revealing a scene that would forever change the course of my life" Jayden said to Alex softly
The room is described in a chilling silence, with a single source of dim light flickering
JAYDEN (looking at the sky) The day after the massacre was my birthday. There was nothing left to celebrate.
The room darkens as Jayden's expression turns somber.
"Alex, behind that door, I wish... I really wish I saw my parents, your mom, your brother — just a 4-year-old back then — happily chatting, enjoying, waiting for me. So we could celebrate my birthday together. Instead, I saw an empty house", Jayden sighs.
Jayden's voice trembles, and tears start streaming down his cheeks.
"I rushed in just to find everyone brutally murdered. A piece of paper lay beside their corpses. It said, "Happy birthday, Jayden ShadowHart" , probably written using my family's blood"
Alex, deeply moved, tears welling up in his eyes, listens to his father's tragic past
Jayden continues with a trembling voice
"I came out of the house, mentally and physically exhausted, didn't know what to do. Knocked on every single house, only to find all my clan members slaughtered. A mysterious figure, a black shadow, tried to kill me. Suddenly, a surge of power, a huge figure defending me. They seemed to have a conversation, and the assailant flew away. Exhausted, drained of all energy, I passed out"
The room is shrouded in a heavy silence as Jayden continues his harrowing tale.
"I woke up in a place that was unfamiliar, a royal residence of sorts. I don't know who treated me, who carried me there. Everything happened too quickly, and I was still trying to process the events of that night."
Jayden, lying in a treatment bed, still weak and disoriented. The door opens, revealing the same towering figure that defended him, (calmly) "Jayden, are you okay?"
Jayden, cautious, assumes a defense pose, but his weakened state betrays him, and he falls. The huge figure catches him with surprising ease
"Easy there. You've been through a lot" The Figure said.
The figure, still in the shadows, starts to reveal his identity.
"My name is Luke Imperia, one of the four Imperials who run the world."
"I pay my respects to Mr. Luke Imperia, can you please tell me what happened last night?" Jayden said in a very unpleasant tone
LUKE IMPERIA with a serious yet silent tone
" The top three clans disappeared overnight "
Jayden, confused and shocked, listens intently as Luke explains the disappearance of the top three clans and the power vacuum it created.
What happened to the Ember-legion and the rest of the Nightshade clan??, Jayden asked him shockingly
LUKE IMPERIA continues to tell what happened
The nightshade clan members were also murdered in the same mysterious way as the ShadowHart clan, We are investigating everything and the Ember legion's residence suffered a lotta damage and alll the members just disappeared , it looked like none of them existed in the first place ,The Imperials will take charge, but I need a favor from you, especially you. I can't think of anyone better.
Jayden said with in an expression that conveys hopelessness, someone who is in deep pain
" What is it? "
The room is filled with suspense as Jayden, uncertain of what favor Luke Imperia is about to ask, braces himself for the revelation
