12. the birth of death 7:07 PM
12.
Dark clouds gathered in the sky despite the air being as still as ever. For eons this land has been the concentration of great evil and is said to be the darkest and most unexplored region of the world. For decades mankind has always tried to understand to mystery surrounding this place but to much disappointment, man's curiosity just led to more disasters and deaths.
Some know this place as the Bermuda Triangle, some call it the Devil's Triangle, others just refer to it as 'the graveyard of the Atlantic'. Ships and planes have flown into this area without ever being seen again. Whole fleets of battleships have been known to disappear within seconds of losing contact with the outside world.
Maybe its all just a big understanding, no one knows for sure.
Maybe its just a huge concentration of electromagnetic energy as they say, for that could explain the bizarre disappearance, no one knows for sure.
Maybe there's just more to it...
Maybe there's Pandora... a creation of Zeus to bring misery to mankind and to punish us for the sins we never did make. The myth says Pandora was a woman, but some really think Pandora is mankind as we create problems for ourselves. We, ourselves, destroy our own world. The myth says Pandora opened a box containing the evil of the world, some say its us who opened our hearts to the evil of the world that was always there.
No one knows for sure.

Deep within the centre of the Triangle lies an island and on that island lies a box. Fully opened. This was the birth of death and the death of birth. Metres from the box stands a boy. Did he open the box? What is his name? What is he doing there? No one knows for sure.
He looked up at the dark grey sky, sorrow filled his eyes, death in his heart. The boy stood as if a great burden was thrust against his shoulders. The burden of the world. To clean it or to destroy it, no one knows for sure.
This pain quickly changed. Full of anger, full of hate, he cursed at the dark sky as if screaming to the heavens, the heavens which created him.
Flexing his arms, wings burst out from his back spanning over 4 times his size, feathers as black as his immortal heart. He recognized his place in this world quickly and flew into the sky.
Flew into the sky toward the nearest land.
Flew into the sky towards the city of Miami.
