In an instant, centered on Sirin, the sky above Salt Lake City's outskirts was torn apart. A massive black rift appeared, like a gateway leading into the abyss.
Whether they were soldiers locked in fierce battle with the air elemental legion or citizens cowering and trembling in their homes throughout Salt Lake City, an unprecedented sense of danger rose in their hearts.
It was the fear of and resistance to death born from intelligent beings' instinct to survive.
