Prologue~
The air heavy with ash and smoke.
The faint hum of drones echoes in the distance.
A woman walk through the ruins
Gripping a blade tightly in her hand.
She’s muttering to herself.. glaring at the horizon
Nyra Asher
Just a lil farther…. they’ll lose my trail soon
The sound of shifting metals make her freeze.
There…a silhouette in the distance
With a faint glow of a core pulsing between his shoulders..
He stood motionless.. as if she doesn’t exist..
Nyra Asher
I’m talking to you! U hybrid!
The figure doesn’t turn, doesn’t move..
Her anger flares, as she steps closer..
Nyra Asher
What’s wrong? Ur core glitching out??
Finally, he tilts his head slightly, his voice low and cold..
Hybrid
Do you always talk this much before you die, or is today special?
The hybrid slowly turns back to face her..
His glowing sharp eyes locking onto hers
His smirk is sharp… almost mocking
Hybrid
Careful, scientist..
Hybrid
You’re scratching the surface of things you don’t understand..
Nyra Asher
I understand plenty
Nyra Asher
Like how hybrids are just cowards behind metal, coz they couldn’t handle being human…
A dark humourless sound tht sends chills down her spine..
Hybrid
Funny coming from someone who built weapons like me…
But her expression hardens
The hum of drones grows louder
Their searchlights sweeping closer
Calmly.. almost lazily.. he speaks
Hybrid
You should run.. uk..
Nyra Asher
*Snarls* run?? I’d rather fight u than run!!
The hybrid stops mid-step
Glancing over his shoulder with an amused smirk..
Hybrid
You couldn’t scratch me.
Hybrid
But hey if you’re feeling suicidal… I’m happy to help..
Blade slashing towards his exposed back
But before it can connect
Catching her wrist effortlessly
His expression one of sheer disdain..
Hybrid
You think this is a game?
Hybrid
That you can beat hybrids wi th anger and scraps of steel?
She struggles against his grip
Her teeth gritted in fury..
Hybrid
You’ll… cry abt it?
The drones searchlights sweep dangerously close
Their mechanical hum now deafening
Her eyes now dart towards the sky as panic begins to set in
Suddenly he releases her wrist
But well he doesn’t seem to care..
Hybrid
You’re lucky I’m not in the mood to watch you die today..
Nyra Asher
*snaps* you think I need your help?!
Hybrid
(Shrugs, turning away)
Hybrid
I think you’re an idiot..
Hybrid
But you’ll follow me anyways…
Her voice shaking with frustration
Nyra Asher
I’d rather die than owe u anything !
Turns his head, just enough to flash her a sharp, mocking grin.
Hybrid
Then I hope you run faster than they shoot…
Their weapons clicking into place
With no other choice, she curses under her breath and sprints after him.
The hybrid doesn’t look back
His steps are steady as he leads her deeper into the ruins
Every instinct screamed at her to stop, to turn back, but survival won out.
As she followed him into the abyss, she couldn’t shake the thought
“This wasn’t a partnership.”
“This was the beginning of a war”
