The air itself was thick with negative emotions, seeping into the hearts of the weaker survivors, twisting their courage into fear.
In the distance, the group of survivors squinted at the approaching storm. Countless dots moved beneath the roiling dark clouds. As they focused, their faces turned ashen.

Angus's jaw clenched. His voice cut through the rising panic like steel.
"Don't lose hope! I am the Crown Prince of the Everlasting Kingdom! Our family has guarded this land for thousands of years! We have devices and strategies to counter these vile creatures! We can do this!"
