Flames of War

All that Athan heard was loud explosions and a myriad of roars and screams that crashed his ears, enough to deafen him so badly.

Upon opening his eyes, it became a nightmare he couldn't wake up.

In the bloody red patches in the sky, now filled dark smears from the pillars of smoke, and the creatures flew, roaring and battling amidst the heights until their very last breaths.

Alongside it found several infrastructures and towering edifices showing cracks before it collapsed to the craggy path, trembling the ground no different from high magnitudes and aftershocks came with it.

Even every single asset therein costs a thousand riches, but now fell, tainted with the blood of the deceased.

The ground he stood filled with fallen comrades and enemies one after another, staining with rancid death.

Athan stood, almost on the verge of despair, as everything he held dear crumbled, one after another, before his eyes.
