Rise From The Shadows - 1 Chapter 1

“Your time has come. You shall rule and bring order to this corrupt world!” a powerful voice commanded as tens of hands dragged me away from the dark shadows and towards a shimmering bright light.

Overwhelmed by my sudden awakening, I yearned for precious air that was within my orbit, yet seemed to escape from my grasp as I constantly reached for it. I attempted to move around the empty space in hopes of relief, however, I was incapable. I couldn’t shift. I was chained to the brick wall that stood behind me by a sort of thick, titanium cuffs wrapped around my wrists and ankles.

Finally conscious of my surroundings, I recalled everything about my situation. A fire burnt in my soul. How long has it been since I was sent into a deep slumber in this dark, empty, and disgusting dungeon cell? A year? A decade? A century? I lost track of time.

Killing me, the goddess of climate change and weather would lead to the end of this world, yet they thought that me sleeping for all of eternity would keep things in order? Locking me up in an isolated space might have been a good idea at the time, but did he honestly believe that it was a permanent solution? Argenteus! I promise you will regret all the sins you have committed and a fortune you will pay.

“Titanium, disassemble,” I demanded to be released. The cuffs disbanded into tiny powdered bits almost instantly. With a skeptical expression, I mumbled, “That’s odd…”

For the most part, it takes close to a minute for my elemental powers to fulfill a given task and an instant result has never happened before, unless… CO2 levels must be higher than they should have been! Oh no! It’s true that I was more powerful than I had ever been, but at what cost? In the meantime, I knew that consuming CO2 would be the only way to regain balance in the atmosphere. Escaping this place would be a great use of energy.

“BRICKS AND OBJECTS THAT STAND IN MY ROUTE, DECONSTRUCT. UNWANTED PEOPLE, BEGONE WITH THE WIND,” I yelled, placing a curse upon the mansion. I stormed through every wall, destroying the place and everything that prevented me from my goal.

With all the commotion, I was spotted. The guard trembled in fear as they laid eyes upon the ever so powerful goddess, shaking so much that they were unable to bow in my presence. Although I was feared, respect and followers I did not have.

“O-h my! The prisoner has awoken and escaped! The prisoner has awoken escaped! Call for backup.” the guard pleaded for reinforcements from his colleagues.

With the use of intense wind, I was able to throw him across the end of the corridor. I walked towards him, with an unwavering look, I grabbed him by the collar and declared, “it’s Goddess Taes to you.”

“Catch her! Call the lord, inform him about the escape,” the reinforcements the timid guard called for arrived and were ready to fight. Although I admired their bravery, they were too dense to realize that silly humans stand no chance against a goddess.

“Out of my way,” I carelessly said, waving them away, and they went flying into a wall. I had no time for insignificant followers of Argenteus. They called him over, and that was all I needed.
