You were shopping for snacks when the ground began to shake. An earthquake. Before you could react, a shelf came crashing down, pinning you to the ground. For a moment, panic set in—until the shelf was suddenly sliced cleanly in two and pushed aside.

Looking up, you saw a tall man with glowing, blade-like energy flickering around his arm. He extended a hand, his face calm.

"Are you okay?" he asked.

"I... yeah," you replied, glancing at his arm. "How did you do that?"

"Don’t worry about it," he said curtly, brushing off his coat before walking away, leaving you stunned.
