Chapter 7 - The Breaching

Vines and Forestation growing out of control!!! Huge vines and trees sprouting from the ground and concrete!! Everyone screaming, pushing and stepping on one another for a slightly better chance at survival. Then there is me, I turn to my family to look for a way out, until I see a sapling sticking out of the ground, and suddenly grow into a huge tree while piercing someone from the back and lifting them off of the ground, his blood spreading everywhere, I look at my family, all their faces are in shock with what they're witnessing, this is what the elves were talking about would happen, this was their doing. I saw how plants were still growing everywhere, but not inside the places the buildings were protecting from the rain. Just as I was about to shout to get into the buildings, I saw a vine, a big strong powerful vine, growing and strangling the building as a snake would to it's prey. Then, I saw the whole building start to slowly tilt towards the left, and then quickly falling down towards the building beside it, crushing a small convenience store near the buildings as they were starting to fall. We collapsed, the debris from the buildings was everywhere, we were surrounded by giant clouds of debris, barely visible as to what was in front of us. My family and I used our hoodies as makeshift masks to make sure we didn't inhale too much of the debris cloud surrounding us. All of us were covered with dust, concrete, and tiny pieces of glass. As we were standing up, I saw bodies that were crushed under pieces of the buildings that fell down, people coughing up blood from inhaling the debris or from injuries they received during the fall of the buildings. People screaming for their loved ones, others running without direction, and finally, some just standing or laying down while the cloud of debris began to settle, and the rain beginning to turn it into a sticky heavy mixture sent from hell meant to slow us down, to kill us. As I turned around to make sure my family was okay, I saw a creature, moving in the cloud of debris behind my grandfather, it was tall, muscular, Green, with tusks as sharp as a knife and as long as a brand new pencil. It had its hair tied in a ponytail, and wore old and rusty shoulder guards with a long cloth decorated with a skull on the center of it. Once it revealed itself from the debris cloud, you could immediately tell...it was an orc. The orc unsheathed his blade that was strapped to his back, my grandfather, still struggling to get up and run, said, [Grandpa] "Seong!!!Get Nari and Kyong and get out of here!!!NOW!!!". [Nari] "NOOOO!!!!", [Kyong] "Grandpaaa!!!", they were both running now towards Grandpa. Ever since this started, I lost my city, I lost my home, and now, even after the world took both my parents, it still hadn't felt satisfied and was now going to take the rest of family too. No, F#ck that!! I'm not going to let that happen, I CAN'T LET THAT HAPPEN!!!!!Something suddenly emerged from me, Time, had slowed down, I could tell that the orc had already been in a arching position with his arm leading the blade on the track that would cut off my grandfather's neck. I heard the ticking, in my pocket, it was the watch, and even though I couldn't see it, I could feel that this state I was in was only temporary, and that if I didn't do something. That orc would kill my grandfather. I grabbed the hammer in my backpack, I ran towards the orc, jumped, and hit him with the hammer straight to his chin, and I could feel it, I had broken something. I saw his neck ripping away from his body as time began to resume to it's usual pace. The only thing my family saw, was me crouching from six yards away, and now I was suddenly right beside my grandfather holding up high a piece of wood, while a metal object was falling, along with the orc's head. As the body of the orc fell, I felt a huge surge of energy rise up from within me. I could sense it, the energy was being passed on from the orc to me. Then all of a sudden, I felt a huge headache, as is someone was drilling from the inside of my head. [Seong] "AAAAAARGHHH!!!!", [Grandpa]"SEONG!!!!", I felt liquid coming out of my nose, I started to hold my head to try to stop the drilling. I fell to my knees, and started to see the blood dripping down towards the ground. Grandpa started coming towards me, Nari and Kyong were also starting to come towards me, crying, with snot starting to come out of their noses. My vision started to become blurry. "BLAAAAAAAAARGHHH!!!!", "AAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!", I felt the debris becoming wet and starting to weigh me down, I saw a woman running from the vines, and getting picked up from her face, and a blade cutting her straight down, and an orc grabbing and pulling out the spine while entails and blood veins still hanging from the side. I knew that if we stayed here longer we would get stuck and then we would die at the hands of the ogres. That was when I saw them... a girl and a boy riding the fallen buildings as they were falling down from the vines.
