Exodus Prime

Prologue
Nightfall had come and blanketed the area below suggesting sleep and rest. In the sky above the  illumination of the moon sought to bathe the lock village below in it's dim embrace. The moon rested in the sky taking over for the sun which had already served it's shift and had moved on after fulfilling it's duties. The sound of silence filled the village below, few of it's inhabitants were awake or active at this time of night. Amid the silence one indivdual stalked and sauntered around the village dressed in all black like the reaper of death himself. Black gloves, black outfit, black hair and shades as dark as the night itself. The glare of his eyes could be seen escaping on each side of his shades as he came to the center of the village and stood still for a moment before placing his hands together in unison before him. Muttering something at a the decibal of a low whipser behind the figure a eerie dark figured slowly emerged from the ground itself, having looked as if it was growing from the depths of the soil itself. This figure possessed a wicked grin, razor sharp teeth and concentric patterned eyes that followed it's iris, purple flames released upon it's summoning. It's mouth was zipped up quickly unfastened as masses of black shadows emerged from it's mouth and fired out into the village in all directions laughing manically, tortured faces writhed in pain engraved onto the shadows which were being released into the village, spreading like the plague itself harming no structures but going directly for the villagers themselves. The one's who were sleeping were taken quietly their souls removed from it's physical container while those who were awake screamed and cried for help i the face of such a silent ambush. Yet all that answered would be the spirits that doggedly pursued the villagers, relentlessly chasing those who ran outside looking to escape or find a place of solace from their would be pursuers, yet were caught and quelled. Bodies numbered in the triple digits laid strawn all out on the ground both outside and within their homes. Now void of their life essence,it was removed from them. Their bodies were left unharmed but the spirtual damage was done. Once having absorbed the souls from the villagers each of the spirtual entities retreated back to the call from the entity whose mouth remained open, he who transported them. Each of them sailing back into the depths of it's open mouth. After it's completion and even thicker silence swept over the area broken only by the breathing and voice of the man dressed in black who remained.... "Trial Run complete. Revelation Begins". He said quietly amongst the stilness of a village void of life.
