The sky shined greatly with abandon, highlighting the nostalgia and peaceful setting as the weak leaves of trees fell before being swept away from the wind. Noises of vehicles, traffic signals and lastly, people around the streets filled with joy, laughter and liveliness. Hong Kong, a country that had once almost fallen twice from the catastrophe events now looked strong and advanced probably by the hard work they juggled with.
People on the streets continued to walk on their own ways, the path they took determined to find a purpose in their life. Some took the hard road while others took the easy way when another took both to see wisdom.
"Hong Kong is now peaceful and lively as usual! Especially when a great catastrophe happened prior years ago that we have almost forgotten its tragedy and sacrifices, we are glad to be here for those who gave us a fighting chance."
The news blared loudly as the passer by took notice, "It's almost like what? 20 to 25 years since then?" An elderly said while their partner chuckled, "Honey, don't mind those records of a year. We should be happy that we are given a chance to live this peacefully."
The old man agreed before an explosion happened not too far from them. Some civilians immediately scattered and ran away in panic while policemen scouted the premises before evacuating others that we almost trapped. "Requesting immediate action! Rogue Sorcerer! We need-" before the officer could continue a black shadowy like tendrils snatched him out of the way in time when the individual appeared out of the ruckus.
"It's him! Let's get out of here!" The masked individual said to his companion before running as fast as possible except they were already captured when their own shadows immediately trapped them with tendrils all over them, securing them in place before a tall individual landed next to them as they put handcuffs over their wrists.
All the civilians looked in awe towards the blacked clothed individual as they immediately approached the officer, probably informing them regarding the situation before getting themselves out of the area as a long black tendril immediately grabbed itself in the pole. The individual uses the momentum to fly up before swinging away by using its shadow like whips.
The reporter on the news now had a live feed back of the individual while they were still reporting, "Would you look at that! The sorcerer dressed in black is back on his feet! He went from the lowest ranking ever since that fateful day and now he is now in the top 3!"
If anyone would ask who he is, they would only call him an enigma of a person. Others would call him a hero or an inspiration of who they want to become.
Who was he? A legend? A myth or an ordinary man?
The black dressed male stood up off the roof, seemingly watching over Hong Kong as he touched his earpiece to report. "Hong Kong to Eternum. The situation has been handled" he said before pulling down his mask, a burnt scar running down from his left side of the face up to the cheek.
His bicolour eyes looked sharp and filled with hope, a unique combination of a red on his right and a blue on the left. His hair running wild from the wind that kept on breezing over him probably from how high he was standing from. His black outfit and overall appearance except for his skin made him look like a villain with how bright the day was. A face of a seasoned veteran that is still continuing their duty to serve the country despite how kind and humble he looks.
So, who exactly is he?
Let's say that he is just an ordinary human who works as a sorcerer.
Hong Kong wasn't always this peaceful but it was chaotic from the dark ages. Even other countries suffered the same way from before until now ever since the impossible was achieved by not just one individual but a group of people who worked together to achieve the peace the world needed.
Let us tell you a story, a story of how one becomes the greatest.
No doubt about them.
No lies. No exaggerations.
Their life is never in all colours nor being black and grey.
Happiness, Peace, Love, Loneliness, Depression and Tragedy.
However, it is a life that we all live despite our differences in mindset and living environments.
This is their story and this is how it all started.
