DAYBREAK ESTATE FALLS

As the moon cast its silvery glow over the sprawling grounds of the Daybreak estate, a sense of peace enveloped the tranquil surroundings. Inside the lavish manor, Lord and Lady daybreak, renowned adventurers and respected members of the magical community, regaled their young son, Atlas, with tales of their daring exploits and thrilling adventures, telling tales of great heroism. And there heroic allies dawning mystical arts. But the tranquility of the night was shattered in an instant when a shadowy figure emerged from the darkness, heralding the arrival of evil. With a deafening roar, the mysterious agents stormed the manor they are cloaked in darkness, their forms shrouded in billowing black robes that seem to absorb the very light around them. With hoods drawn low over their faces, only the glint of malevolent eyes pierces the shadows, sending shivers down the spines of those who dare to gaze upon them. Their movements are swift and silent, like specters haunting the night, as they move with deadly precision to carry out their sinister agenda., their sinister presence casting a pall of darkness over the once-idyllic scene.

In a desperate bid to protect their son, Lord and Lady Daybreak fought valiantly against their assailants, their swords flashing in the moonlight as they clashed with the agents of darkness. But their bravery was no match for the overwhelming force arrayed against them, and as Atlas watched in horror, he saw his parents fall before him, their lifeless bodies crumpling to the ground. With a cry of anguish, Atlas attempted to flee, but he was quickly overtaken by the facility's agents, who seized him and dragged him away from the shattered remnants of his former life.

Eight long years passed in the depths of the evil facility's underground prison, where Atlas was now 18 languished in chains, his spirit breaking by the day and his hope all but extinguished. The passage of time had left its mark on him, transforming the once-bright youth into a shadow of his former self. Alone in his cell, Atlas endured the torment of endless days and sleepless nights, his mind haunted by memories of the family he had lost and the injustice that had robbed him of his innocence. And as the facility's cruel experiments threatened to break his spirit, Atlas clung to the flickering ember of hope that still burned within his heart, a beacon of light in the darkness that surrounded him.

HEYA, author here first real try and writing a story and I’m really enjoying the thought of it, I’m a security guard and at night these not a lot of stuff to do, so I’m going to start writing. I have a general idea of where I want this story to go but if you have an idea of how to change it or anything you want to see let me know!
