"The world was never chaotic as its become, what happened exactly? No one knows for sure but when the year reached 2025 another blood moon appeared; creatures then started flooding New York and Vegas and the list goes on, but on the news it showed buildings falling one after the other as if they were trying to get away.
And then after that children started to be born with "gifts" as the doctors label it, the gifts can be anything really simple or complex to even try to understand. "
"My name is Harper, and I wish you well if you find this recording."
Harper walks up to the camera and presses pause, he waits for it to save.
He puts the camera in his pocket after turning it off, walking around the open apartment room, a single light bulb on, the ceiling fan hanging by its power cable.
Harper walks towards the apartments' balcony door and slides it open, he steps outside and stands on the railing, a breeze picks up his long brown hair, it flows as if it were the ocean waves.
He steps out and falls, he flips himself over in the air while he falls and looks up into the murky gray sky.
"Is this all I lived for?" Harper says
"What the **** was the point of surviving all this time."
Droplets lift off his face as he continues to fall faster, his eyes blacken before having a red iris become visible.
He hits the ground, his blood splatters the broken-mossy pavement, his arm twisted and deranged.
A violent blue flame erupts from beneath him, his lifeless corpse raises from the pavement and starts to take its original shape, the flames become purple and form into wings, his boots touch the ground, and he snaps back to life.
"And I'm back, woo…" mutters Harper
The flames slowly go to blue then orange before returning to the center of Harper's back.
Soldiers storm from all around towards Harper, surrounding him to ensure he cannot get away.
"Harper, We can do this peacefully, all you have to do is come with us, and we can have a normal world again." one of the soldiers says through a mega phone.
The soldiers leap over fences with one arm still aiming the guns on Harper.
"But why, this world is rotten inside and out, all I did was use my gift to make it holy once more!" yells Harper.
Flames burst from his eye sockets and burst from his back, the flames dance around his head before turning into a small halo above him, it's colors changing to a particular magma looking style.
Harper sprints towards the soldiers, jumping over a fence, he reaches his arm out and points to one of the soldiers, the soldier screams and drops to the ground rolling as flames start to pour out of the gaps in the armor.
Harper laughs as his flames turn into a devilish red shade before lifting off into the air, the soldiers scattered to nearby ruins of what used to be buildings.
"This will never end, I will rule this new world with my power." Shrieks Harper.
End. ch 1

Snowflakes float in the icy wind across the beach, the ocean water black and murky, bashes the shoreline as if it were trying to drag itself upon the land.
The sand, gray and red, looking like the devil had spread ashes on it, the sand crumples has something walks on it, the ocean waves covering any noise that could be made as it releases thunderous crashes on the beach.
The forest behind the shoreline sways with the frosty wind, snow falls with each sway.
"Fólkvangr…is this what it must be for thee?" says Vex, as she walks out of the forest frost.
Vex wanders onto the beach, the ocean water beats at her shins as it raises and retreats, She continues to look around at her surroundings and scopes over the ridge.
"Ah I found it Allfather, 'tis be Fólkvangr, yes" She says excitedly.
Tree's collapsed, fire spread along the battlefield, corpse's fill the burning forestry war grounds.
Vex enters what were the ancient battlefield, her feet blister from the ashes on the soil, she continues to walk before resulting to crawling on all fours.
A green mist leaks from a warriors eyes, Vex notices it up ahead of her and stares, she approaches it slowly, sniffing the corpse.
The green mist thickens, becoming a humanoid shape, it let's out a bellowing Shrieking cry before wrapping itself around the body it came from.
The Corpse's eyes glow Blue, it starts to stand all while pulling out the spear that had lodged it stuck to the ground, it Shrieks once more.
The other corpses as if been reanimated start to stand, one other the other, picking up scattered weaponry to battle.
"I am beast nay prey, I am hunter nay prey, SKEMTILIGR!" shouts Vex.
Her head starts to twitch, antlers pierce from her forehead, her skin blackens.
Finger nails grow long and rugged, the front of her face ruptures, skin and flesh fall to the burning ground, an animal skull remaining.
It roars, shaking the forest outside the battlefield, rushing to a dead warrior vex picks it up with little effort and rips it into two halves before sprinting to the next.
Teeth breaking the armor and sinking into rotting flesh, Vex tears the arm off and shreds the remaining armor on it before eating the dead tissue and muscle.
"I command you to STOP!" a dooming voice yells.
The warriors body's fall to the ground lifelessly once more, Vex crawls looking for the dooming character while holding the arm tightly still.
"This is not your land traitor, I know what you did and so does everybody else in the hierarchy above the savagery classification." it says.
a rough outlined figure starts to become more visible through the snow fall as it gets closer
"My name is Alex." the person says.
Vex merely stares watching Alex's movements through the now thickened snow storm, Vex drops onto all fours, head hung low, blood drips from the eyeholes of the animal skull, her ribs becoming more visible.
"Your Gift is a curse, don't you see that? It does more harm than good" Alex says coming to view from the snow.
Alex's hair flows freely in the wild wind, her eyes yellow and orange.
"I protect this old battlefield from intruders, so do not see me fit for a fight, what is your reasoning for being on this land" She says calmly.
Vex slowly stands up, the sound of a whistle can be heard through the animal skulls hollowed out eyes as the wind whips in and out.
She puts a hand onto the front of the skull and raises it, the skull falls from her head, as it falls it fades away into tiny cyan particles.
Vex's skin starts to spread across her face and the blackened coloring disappears, her hair starts to grow back rapidly, a silky gray asymmetrical pixie cut waved in the snow breeze, Her eyes glow green with a hint of blue.
They stand staring at each other, the forest shaking around them, the fire still burning.
"I come, for this be Fólkvangr." Vex says coldly.
"What be if this does not be Fólkvangr?" Alex responds.
"Then thy leave, go far, far away from tis and continue on journey." Vex says.
Alex shakes her head.
" This is not Fólkvangr."
"What is this Fólkvangr which you speak of?" Alex asks.
"It do not need to be spread around, I alone must find it." says Vex walking away, her feet burning from the flames.
Alex watches as Vex leaves the battlegrounds before walking back into the storming snow, the snow continues to thicken before long covering the grounds.
Clouds spread across the sky, dark and gloomy they move with the wind.
A blimp busts its way through the clouds, the city below becomes cloaked by its shadow, eating away at the light that shines down.
The people aboard look down while muttering comments about the cityscape, the city built on hovering machinery to keep it safe from the black mist that leaks beneath it, lights scatter on the surface of the mist, keeping it from climbing up.
"Do you know why it have lights?" one asks another.
"it be said that there lurks a beast within the mist, without light it would drag the city down with minimal effort my lady" someone replied.
The blimp slowly began its fall as it reached a landing bay upon the city, thunder crackles above.
Wakasa sat in the large open hallway, greeting and bidding farewell to the guest that had been aboard, turbulence striking randomly assuring that the descent was at rapid speeds.
The blimp after a few more minutes finished its fall and successfully landed, guest made their exit as the crew bid them farewells, Wakasa took a deep breath before exiting onto the long steel walkway, they pulled out a radar and watched it before putting on a gas mask and adjusting it.
Wakasa pulls an air filter out of their carry on bag and inserting it to the front of the mask.
They reach the end of the walkway and step onto the platform, walking towards the massive city towers.
Two guards stood ahead.
"State your status and reasoning of being here" says a guard.
The other stares and raises their gun
"Bit cocky aren't you, you ****" Wakasa mutters
"I am a high classification of royalty, I am here for inspections of this city."
The guards exchange glances, suddenly becoming nervous.
"Well…go ahead, enjoy your stay..." the guard says taking a step out of the way.
Wakasa pushes past, entering the city streets, people crowding the pathways and cars occupy the roads.
City floodlights flicker across the street before dancing around the buildings and sky.
Wakasa jogs along with the crowd, Their bag bouncing with each step, They walk down a nearby alleyway and flick their wrist.
A purple holographic map appears before their eyes, they move the map till it centers on a singular tower.
"Sanity fall's...interesting target name" Wakasa whispers.
"The **** you think you're doing in our territory, you masked cunt" says a figure.
Wakasa taps their wrist quickly and looks to their side, Wakasa blocks an incoming fist but still gets knocked off their feet, the figure once more approaches fast.
"You chose the wrong person to **** with yeah? Look at ya, don't stand a chance haha, once weak fucking worm" the figure says before once more landing a strike.
"You are in my way" says Wakasa muffled by the mask, standing and charging towards the now visible thug.
The thug throws another punch but Wakasa merely jumps and walks across the wall before being behind the threat, pulling a kukri knife out of the air and hacking the thugs' calf's, the thug fall's to the ground having that his legs tendons destroyed, Wakasa throws the kukri into the air, it becomes a purple rain before completely disappearing.
"How weak you are" the thug says, standing once more.
"I have regeneration and super strength, what are you going to do about that?"
Sirens sound outside the alleyway, people peering in.
Wakasa grabs the air again, for this time a Scythe appears.
"You're not the first of your kind I've killed." Wakasa says coldly.
The thug breaks a hole into the alleyways wall, rushing through it.
Police can be seen at the end of the alleyway, shield units crouched with gunmen standing behind.
Wakasa throws their hand up, a rope and anchor appears, gliding up between the opening above before propelling upwards and landing on the open building rooftop.
"Police are easily notified, that's interesting." Wakasa says.
