Chat GPT prompt: 

In the dimly lit alley of an ancient city, shadows danced and secrets whispered. A lone figure, clad in a tattered, hooded cloak, moved stealthily through the cobblestone streets, clutching a small, ornate box in their gloved hand. The box, rumored to hold the key to unlocking forgotten magic, had been stolen from the city’s most powerful sorcerer, Elara the Enigmatic. The thief, known only as Nyx, was on a daring mission to uncover its secrets and, perhaps, rewrite the destiny of the realm.  

As Nyx navigated the treacherous labyrinth of the narrow alleys and winding passages, a mysterious rune etched onto the box began to glow, casting an eerie incandescent light in the surroundings.  Little did Nyx know that this stolen artifact held a power far greater than they could fathom, and the fate of the city rested in their gloved hand. The clock was ticking, and with each passing second, the line between savior and criminal grew thicker. 

 

The lights around her lit up, streetlights flashing red and blue. All of a sudden, the lone figure was no longer hidden. A helicopter flew in from above, propellers snatching up leaves and trash, suddenly twirling them into a whirlwind. As she tried to escape the lights, she came to a dead end. Nyx was trapped in the alleyway, with no way out in sight. A towering brick wall stood in front of her, a tough climb for just one hand. It was either the box or her safety. Nyx had been plotting this heist for months on end, planning out every single detail and flaw that could occur. She had not predicted this. So, she came to her ultimate conclusion and grabbed the bricks with one hand. As she hauled herself up the bricks, the helicopter pinned her down with a bright light. Elara’s guards had called down to her in a megaphone “Stop now! We forbid you to move any further. If you continue this journey, you will be executed.” Nyx ignored their calls and quickly threw herself over the top of the bricks. But what she did not know was that there was nothing on the other side of this wall. Nyx had fallen into the pit of nothing that lay outside the city. The guards, knowing the outcome, had turned the helicopter around and dimmed all the lights. As Nyx realized she was falling to her death, she opened the box, and out came a flash of black smoke. The smoke carried to the sky as she descended, engulfing every single building she could still see.
