There was desolation as far as the eye could see. The once lush valley was ravaged.

The sky was shrouded by clouds of ash. Fire rained down from the clouds, pelting the scorched earth. Trees were reduced to ash, and great plains of glass were left.

The carcasses of animals lied, having met their demise from the toxic air left behind. A woman dressed in ragged robes staggered through the desolate forest, a cloth held to her mouth. She was covered from head to toe in ash. Her lungs burned, as she inhaled the poisonous air, despite the cloth that she held.

This land was once brimming with life. These animals once thrived in the wilderness. And this woman once dwelt in a village. In mere moments, everything was destroyed by an unseen force. Everyone succumbed to the change of the environment, having since perished. This woman was the last one to remain, but she knew that she was not long for this world.

The woman collapsed and fell to her hands and knees on the hot earth. Her eyes burning with tears and her breathing was growing shorter. As the sound of thunder roared, the woman raised her head to the sky. The clouds of ash swirled above, as golden lightning bolts streaked across the sky. The sound of heavy beating wings could be heard. As lightning struck, the woman beheld the silhouette of a winged creature. Three serpentine heads were attached to a massive body.

The mysterious beast descended, upon the earth. A great tremor was felt through the land. The storm parted, exposing a great dragon.

The beast was colossal, with great bat-like wings that cast powerful winds with every sway. Three long necks rose up, as twin barbed tails swayed through the air.

The dragon was covered in jagged golden scales. Its heads bore sharp teeth, with two long protruding fangs . Their eyes were a hellish red. Upon the heads of the dragon sat great horns, like crowns on a king.

The dragon opened its great wings wide, causing the winds to blow from their sheer size. The dragon stood tall on its two legs and stretched its three necks high. Haunting wails and shrieks erupted from the throats of the beasts. They were followed by sounds that were like high pitched cackles.

It became clear to the woman now. The land was ravaged by what she could only describe as a God.

The golden dragon cackled, as lightning flashed around it. Bolts seemed to be cast from its wings and body. In darkness, this terrible deity was the only source of light.

The woman suddenly felt more great tremors. Each was like a single boom that echoed. She noticed a massive leg to be passing just a bit of distance away. Her gaze trailed up to the base of a powerful thick tail, then to a dark scaly body, with great maple leaf shaped dorsal plates. Short but powerful arms tucked back, with a small and flat head. Its small carnivorous teeth dripped with saliva, as its amber eyes glared at the golden dragon. This dark dragon, while shorter, bore an imposing body, like a bear. Its brows were furrowed like an eagle's, and its scales rough like a crocodile and hardened lava beds.

The new dragon slammed its tail into the earth and stomped one foot. Its dorsal plates began to flash. A neon blue light was cast. The wingless dragon gave a loud shriek resembling an elephant's cry. A low bellow like a demonic whale followed after the shriek.

By now, the woman was overcome by the ash. She collapsed, as her body gave into the cold embrace of death.
In her final moments, she was able to witness these two gods rush and slam into each other. A war was being waged for the right to rule.
