The whole area is dark. No shapes or shades can be made out. Everything is in shadows. If it's alive or moves at all it is as shadows passing through shadows. Then from within the shadows a male voice laced with power and dripping with venom and pure utter hatred spoke.

" Have you found him?"

Next came a female voice from somewhere within the shadows, strong despite the power felt when the male spoke.

" No sir, we have not found him. Not yet. But he will be found soon enough."

" Well hurry the fucking hell up and find him!" the male voice roars.

" The longer you take to locate him the stronger he gets. The stronger he gets the closer to fulfilling the prophecy he gets which dooms us all and every living thing. We must stop him before he remembers this time and achieves his goal. You remember what he said he's going to do to us if he achieves that." the male voice exclaims with a shudder.

" Yes sir." was the only response the female voice gave. If there was anyone or anything else present, nothing showed signs. 

Even the shadows had stopped moving when the male had spoken. It was like time itself had died. Like a black hole had suddenly appeared out of nowhere and swallowed everything.
