Narrator: In the dark, deep space, there was a man floating there, looking towards the Moon. His name was Eldrin
Eldrin POV: A beautiful sight indeed, thought Eldrin with awe, but then paused as if remembering something. I remember of a theory that the royal family of the Inhumans lives in a city called Attilan, which was rumored to be on the dark side of the moon. Perhaps it may be true i said while getting a shocking visual feedback from the Dark side of the moon
After a few moments of observing a certain futuristic floating city on the moon i turned back my gaze towards Earth and smiled, you look so beautiful from far away i thought, while looking at Earth, you would look even more beautiful without a certain wicked organisation, but worry not, they will be annihilated very soon.
I will fight in the dark to protect the light. This is my purpose
I will not let anyone take that away from me, not some wicked organisation nor a mad titan
I will fight them to the death if I must, whatever it takes, because that's what a protector does
FOR THE LIGHT
Narrator: The World will face many threats, some that it can survive, some that it cannot, but worry not, he WILL be there to fight, he WILL be there to protect, even if he has to sacrifice his life, he WILL, purpose is much more important than life itself for a being like him, Hes a protector made of Darkness His Eldrin The Darkling.

3 days before the Start of Hydras Annihilation
Even at night, New York citys streets were bustling with people club and restaurants where full of activity, and strangely, for some unexplainable reason peoples faces didn't have even a shred of worry or sadness; they were full of life with seemingly boundless energy, it was as if there was no war going on at all, the darkness of the night which was usually feared now felt comforting like being covered by a warm blanked in the winter
In one of those crowded streets, two tall people were walking while holding hands; it was none other than Steve and Carter on a date
While walking, Steve looked around the bustling street full of people, and there was not even a shred of worry on their faces
Strange isn,t it? said Carter smilling, it almost feels like there's no war whatsoever
Steve said while looking at Carter with a smile, maybe it's because of Mr. Eldrin, he has single-handedly destroyed dozens of Hydra facilities and saved hundreds of men, that brings hope to people and makes them feel safe and protected. After a pause, he said while pointing at a newspaper on the ground
Breaking News: The military has reported that the hero known as the Darkling has destroyed an important German facility and saved more than 350 captured soldiers.
If you are reading this, Darking, the families of those soldiers send you their gratitude.
After reading the headline, Carter said, confused yet gratefull he really is a strange man; he could conquer the whole world with his power if he wanted to, yet he uses it to help others
Steve answered with admiration. He's a Hero he sees his strength as a responsibility and uses it to save those in need.
Carter then said mischievously, as to remind Steve that they are on a date, We are still on a date, you know, but I believe I deserve a dance now
Steve answered with a smile, of course
While those two love Birds went along on their date, on the underground base called SHIELD, there were two men talking in an office
Those Snakes are building something, said Colonel Philips, worried, and continued i don,t know what it is, but i don,t like my men said it was some kind of shield made of energy
Dr. Abrahams' eyes widened when he heard that and asked shocked, you mean to say they are building force fields!? But how!? The concept of force fields was purely theoretical; they require an immense amount of energy just to maintain them, and it's simply not possible to build them with current technology.
Yet here they are pulling impossible shit out of their asses like usual, he said, angry, then said with a serious tone i suspect they have come into contact with extraterrestrial technology
Not far from the truth Mr Colonel Philips said, a man who seemed to appear out of nowhere, he was Eldrin
Although surprised by Eldrin's sudden appearance, they were used to it, but when they heard Eldrin's confirmation, they were shocked
Colonel Philips asked grimly Mr Eldrin, do you know about extraterrestrial technology?
Eldrin answered with a nod and said, I am aware Hydra is currently in possession of an ancient relic called the tesseract. It is said that the tesseract was used by other ancient civilizations way before us, until it reached the hands of the Asgardians.
When Colonel Philips heard about the Asgardians, he said hesitantly
Mr. Eldrin, you mean the Asgardians from mythology.
Not Mythology but history corrected Eldrin.
Colonel Philips' eyes widened to the point they almost fell out. He then said with disbelief
You mean to tell me that they all exist, too, all those myths were actually events that happened in the past!?
Indeed, confirmed Eldrin
But then Colonel Philips said skeptically
I'm sorry, but I find this too hard to believe
I can show something even more unbelievable if you want, said Eldrin with a smile
Exactly like what Colonel Philips said, intrigued
The moment he said that, two cocoons made of darkness materialised
Get on, we are about to go on a quick trip to the moon. You may tag along if you wish, Dr.Abrahams
The two men were shocked to their core when they heard him, but hesitantly got on the cocoons
After a few minutes, 1 men and two cocoons could be seen floating on the moon, watching a huge floating futuristic city. The man said, you have roughly 10 minutes to observe before the oxygen stored in your cocoons runs out tell me when you are ready to depart.
But the two men in the cocoons could not answer due to their collapsing worldview. Even though they were inside the cocoons, they could still observe the outside world just fine, including the grand floating city before them.
12 minutes later back in the underground base, 1 man was sipping coffee, and the other 2 were staring into the void, dazed as if they saw something so unbelievable that their narrowed minds could not comprehend it.
Better to find out now than later, at least they will be more prepared for the future, thought Eldrin
