'Well this is awkward. Should I just pretend like nothing happened and step out?' wondered Drake.Drake did not have anything in particular against any group of people. He respected people's hobbies and interests. These two before him were simply two lonely hearts who might have fallen in love with each other but had no place to release their pent up carnal desire for each other.Although Drake's mind was filled with such thoughts, his body was quick to act. Reversing his grip on his knife. He rushed forward to attack the closer guard.. the female. The guard was unable to react in time, and as she fumbled to draw her gun, Drake went for the kill. Unfortunately, the second guard kicked her to safety. Drake's surprise attack had failed, but he was not disheartened. Twirling his knife in his hand, he switched back to a standard grip and stabbed the second guard in his abdomen, followed by striking his neck with his free hand. The guard collapsed to the ground.. lifeless.«Ding!Overwhelm

Alex's eyes fluttered open, groggily taking in their surroundings. A hospital room. Beeping machines. A faint smell of antiseptic. A figure stood beside the bed, watching them with a mix of curiosity and concern."Welcome back, Alex," Dr. Lee said, smiling warmly. "You've been in a coma for a few days. We were starting to worry we might lose you."Alex's memories came flooding back, like a tidal wave crashing against the shore. The apocalypse. The screams. The betrayal. Death.But something was off. The apocalypse hadn't happened yet. Alex was five years younger. Confusion etched on their face, they tried to speak, but their throat was dry and parched.Dr. Lee handed Alex a glass of water. "Here, drink this. You need to rehydrate."Alex sipped the water, feeling it trickle down their throat. "What...what happened?" they croaked, their voice barely above a whisper."You were brought in with severe injuries," Dr. Lee explained. "We're still not entirely sure what happened, but it looks

Agent Thompson pulled out a device from his pocket and pressed a button. The room was filled with a blinding light, and Alex felt themselves being lifted off the ground."Sarah!" Alex screamed, trying to reach out to their friend.But Sarah was nowhere to be seen. Agent Kim was fighting off Agent Thompson's agents, but she was outnumbered."Alex, get out of here!" Agent Kim yelled, as she took down another agent.Alex tried to move, but they were frozen in place. The device was emitting some kind of energy field, trapping them."No!" Alex screamed, trying to break free.But it was too late. Agent Thompson had already escaped, taking Sarah with him."Alex, I'm sorry," Agent Kim said, rushing over to them. "I didn't mean for this to happen."Alex's eyes blazed with anger. "Where did he take her?"Agent Kim hesitated. "I don't know, but we have to find out. We have to rescue Sarah."Alex nodded, determination burning within them."Let's do it," Alex said, their voice cold and hard.And w

Thompson raised his gun, and Alex knew they had to act fast. They launched themselves at Thompson, determined to stop him once and for all.The two of them crashed to the ground, fighting for control of the gun. Alex's heart raced with fear, but they refused to give up.Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, Alex managed to wrestle the gun away from Thompson. They stood up, panting, and pointed the gun at Thompson."It's over," Alex said, their voice cold.Thompson smiled, a manic glint in his eye. "Not yet, Alex. Not yet."And with that, he pulled out a small device and pressed a button.The ground began to shake, and Alex stumbled. What was happening?"What have you done?" Alex demanded, trying to keep their balance.Thompson laughed. "I've triggered a temporal earthquake. And now, the very fabric of time itself is unraveling."Sarah stumbled forward, her eyes wide with fear. "What does that mean?"Thompson's smile grew wider. "It means that soon, nothing will be certain. The

Alex and the older Sarah emerged from the library, gasping for air. They knew they had to keep moving, to find a way to stop the Queen once and for all."We need to find the Lost City," the older Sarah said, her eyes scanning the horizon.Alex's eyes widened in surprise. "The Lost City? But that's just a myth."The older Sarah shook her head. "It's real, Alex. And it's our only hope. The city holds the secrets of the ancient ones, the knowledge we need to defeat the Queen."Alex nodded, determination burning within them. "Let's do it."They set off across the desert, braving treacherous sandstorms and deadly creatures. Finally, after days of travel, they saw it - the Lost City, shining like a beacon in the sun.As they entered the city, they were struck by its beauty. Towering spires and grand architecture stretched towards the sky, covered in intricate carvings and mysterious symbols.But they knew they couldn't afford to be distracted. They had to find the knowledge they needed, and
