The wind was cold that night .
A lone figure stood on a barren hill, emerald eyes looking at the sky as the wind whistled across the barren fields around her .
She couldn't remember the last time she saw the twinkle of stars in that vast expanse of black .
Those stars that once lit up the night sky, were now for forever dark .
They had been each consumed, one by one, until only one remained .
She turned her head to where the sun was in the sky .
Only half of the once bright star remained, it's light almost completely gone .
The dim glow could barely illuminate the ground where she stood .
Across the surface she could see black veins sprawled like some obscene disease, reducing the star's former splendor to a dull red glow .
It was only a matter of time before the last star would be consumed like the others were, plunging everything into darkness .
Who was responsible?
They did not have a name .
They once did, but none remain who remember .
She is the only one left, and to her they are simply the enemy .
The enemy was responsible for the missing stars, and the extinction of every living thing that once bathed in their light .
Soon, they would be back for her as well .
She did not remember how long she has fought them .
Countless times they came, and each time she was victorious .
But what does victory matter if there is nothing to fight for?
She no longer remembered the faces of the people she once fought to protect .
But she still fought, driven by a single instinct .
Survive .
Across the plains she heard a sound .
The enemy was coming for her again .
She lowered her eyes to the dark field stretching before her .
There they were, stretching horizon to horizon like a black tide sweeping towards her with one purpose; extermination .
Looking closer, you would see creatures that surpass every nightmare .
Twisted flesh and bone conjoined in such a manner that made the mind quake .
Hollow eye sockets in faces twisted by unimaginable horror .
They moved with uncanny grace and speed across the ground, yet eerily silent .
The lone figure watched their approach, her emerald eyes showed no emotion .
She could already feel her survival instinct awakening once again .
Her conscious mind slowly began sinking into darkness as the enemy drew closer .
She knew that she would wake up after it was over, and not a single enemy would survive .
