A Dark Fantasy
EXT. CITY DOCS — NIGHTFALL (CONT’D)
His massive dragonish wings break the line of sight of the moon. Autumn’s monster form levitates in the sky.
Connor steps forward, ready to face his elder brother and make up for his mistakes in the past. His eyes radiate with a center purple.
Autumn roars into his brother’s direction, raising his massive claw shortly after. In the palm of its hand, the creature gathers a massive orb of dark energy.
The darkened purple orb of destruction is slung out of the obelisk’s hand, drowning the air around it as it comes towards Connor and Jolyn with full force. Jolyn readies her black flames, but Connor uses his powers instead to turn into a thickened black form of mist.
Swirls of what used to be Connor, meet the large orb of dark energy. The black mist quickly expands around the orb, creating a vortex that pushes the orb and itself into the large fiend. A short explosion goes off, creating large waves of destructive winds in the process.
Jolyn braces for the strong aftermath, as she bends her legs and guards her face with her arms. The fire that was once ignited on her, is now gone.
Two images descend from the sky, these figures being Connor and Autumn. They exchange shots as they fall headfirst, with Connor landing a strong double punch to Autumn’s face, before belches out a dark energy stream that hits Connor in the chest, launching him yards away from Autumn before the two slam into the city’s river.
Shrouds of swirling black mist break out of the large body of water, meeting Autumn just as he catapults out the water and back into the air. Autumn grows a set of demonic black wings without having to fully transform this time, choosing to slam himself right into the black mist upon seeing it.
The mist quickly converts back into the physical form of Connor, with Connor coming out of his mist form, right into a punch in the face. Autumn follows this up with an instant dark orb to the chest, breaking Connor back through the air and sending him crashing into the doc’s housing unit, behind Jolyn.
Jolyn screams for him.
JOLYN: Connor!!
She runs into his direction, but is stopped when a dark orb speeds into the small housing unit before she can reach him. The orb explodes on impact, destroying the unit and launching Jolyn backwards through the night air.
Autumn catches her just as he descends back on the docks, grabbing her back with one hand, only to revert and slam her into the ground, back first. He then places his foot on her neck, as the hard surface around her, suffers from a series of cracks.
Autumn cocks his right hand back in the air, allowing it to extend with massive fiend-like claws. He looks down at his target, watching as she struggles to removes his foot from her throat as she is now nearly planted into the ground.
AUTUMN: I won’t allow some girl to come in between me and my younger brother.
Autumn’s tone doesn’t change. He still is nearly emotionless when he speaks, giving off a soft-spoken voice in the process.
AUTUMN: I’ll straighten him out after this, just as I have done before. You’ll simply be another memory for us to have to deal with.
Jolyn struggles to the point of forming tears in her eyes. She quickly ignites her powers, readying flames that she was uncertain would do anything. But before either of them could make the next move, a fast spear shoots through the air and takes a chunk out of Autumn’s chest, nearly hitting his heart.
Author’s Notes: This is going to be the first episodic series that I actually launch. It’s going to be 6 episodes deep, with each episode being 30 pages a piece.
It will be launched across multiple publishing platforms (Apple Books, Barnes & Noble and Kobo, to name a few). These episodes will be free for all readers, no strings attached. The goal is to give readers an actual choice, as a compilation edition will be released afterwards, with an option of purchase.
The compilation edition will be all the episodes in one physical copy, plus more book content that can only be obtained in the compilation edition. Again, this will truly be the choice of the reader, as not gaining the compilation edition, will not hinder you from future seasons.
The compilation edition is mainly for those who are truly immersed into the universe of the series and want more before the next season’s rollout.
