Fall of Ember

He walked down the cracked street, towards the tower, today was the day. His bare feet scraped against the gravel and rumble that was scattered along the street thanks to the crash. Abby was excited he was so excited that he started running up the street even though that’s dangerous with all the destruction in the way. He leaped, jumped and slide across and over the pieces of rock, his feet and legs got scratched and scraped up but Abby didn’t care he sprinted on forward. In the distance he could see the light, the light of the bright, fiery ember flames that danced in the night sky, he grinned happily showing his fangs as he ran faster. Arriving at the tower Abby looked up at the twenty-story building, it was run down and had moss and vines clinging to its walls, The Tower or its original name Red Tribal Center was built twenty-seven years ago back in 2021 the year after the world went ballistic, the location Area 51 had been invaded by the public and the world started to demand answers, crime skyrocketed as weapons and technology that everyone thought were impossible were sold and bought and months later the countries enemies caught wind and another few months later people ditched earth and ran away to space only a handful stayed behind, a small town called UniCity, every year the current future generation holds its annual ceremony called the Fall of Ember named after the woman who started it all Ember Valery, the ceremony includes all future generation kids to gather at the top of the tower. Today was Abby’s turn he saw the staircases entrances have been torn down, he smiled and cracked his knuckles, adjusted his fingerless gloves and grabbed onto the nearest vine and started using it as a rope, all the vines had thorns but Abby didn’t mind his gloves protected his hand from most of them, he couldn’t say the same for his feet, between running down the destroyed street and now scaling up vines with thorns, Abby’s feet were a mess but he didn’t mind after all his feet were wooden. Abby continued climbing, as he climbed, he gained scratches from the thorns in his arms, some poison ivy on his legs he even got attacked by turtle dove. Once reaching the top of the tower he was greeted with a crowd of cheers and shouting, Abby smirked as he climbed up and shouted out “Hey guys, who’s ready for the Fall of Ember!” He pumped up his fists, the crowd roared in agreed pumping up their fists as well before they all dispersed off into their own activities. Abby smiled knowing this was his first time meeting his entire generation, the ones he would grow up with, defend their home with. A dark-haired girl walked over to Abby and stuck her hand out,

“Pleasure to meet you my wording is Rocket my extra is Rock.” She had dark maroon hair, piercing green eyes and pale skin, her clothing seems to consist of a dark navy blue, gray, dark blue color scheme.

“Likewise I’m Abby as you probably know.” Abby shook her hand.

“You’re gonna do great, just get in touch with yourself and let it free.” Rocket said as a blue aura glowed slightly around her. Abby looked at the girl and smiled.
