The world as we know it has been reduced to nothing but
rubble and dirt since their war began. No one really knows how it started but
we all know that what is left of the human race are the losers of this war.
Rumours say that the demon army first appeared in pockets across of
Europe. They destroyed everything in
their path. Those who were not obliterated by the demonic beasts were converted
into hideous mutations that were the demon foot-soldiers of the war. No longer
human, these things had extremely thin hair, almost invisible to the eye if not
seen in the correct light. Their eyes became black signifying to us all that
the poor bastards’ souls had been stolen from them. They also have needle-like
teeth which can either shred your skin from the bone or secrete what I guess is
a poison or virus into you, creating another soulless warrior in their quest
for complete dominance over us all. Even though they transformed into creatures
as if they were zombies, these fuckers were fast and surprisingly quite smart,
but only if the hunger for our meat wasn’t too overbearing. They are known as Locusts since they come in
swarms, picking and devouring every piece of life presented to them. They
quickly spread across the whole of Europe, Asia, Africa and eventually America,
consuming or converting nearly everyone and everything. Although we were the
first targets of what already seemed to be Armageddon, we weren’t their main
priority.
As more and more people got converted into these beasts, it
attracted the attention of the ‘Enlightened ones ’. Angel-like creatures with
four pure white feathery wings protruding proudly from each of the Enlightened
ones’ backs. They effectively looked like beautiful men and women, more destined
to be ripped supermodels than warriors. Fuck was I wrong. These bastards are
fighters all right. Battalions of them patrol the sky, firing pulses of
electricity and some form of light onto the masses of Locusts that prowl the
streets below. Even if you get one of the Enlightened ones grounded, you’re
still pretty fucked when you face them. Being armed with what I believe to be
two platinum blades, each wielded with extreme accuracy and power, allows the Enlightened
ones to cut through hundreds of the demonic grunts within minutes. Now you
would think that as these are angelic creatures they are here to save humanity,
they are not. They are here to keep the Earth under the control of The Almighty
One. Everyone has their own opinion of what the higher power is. Some think
it’s God, whereas others believe it could be some sort of alien. I have simply
decided that it could be anything, considering how fucked up everything is at
the moment. No one has ever seen who or what this higher power is, well no one
alive anyway.
Like with the demons, the angel-like warriors also convert
people to their army. The only difference is that it’s ‘voluntary’. Well I say
voluntary. If you decide you don’t want to join up with them it’s almost
guaranteed that you’ll be obliterated into nothing more than a handful of ash.
These bastards are smart though. They separate the ones who don’t want to be
converted from the fools who do. As the willing participants are being blessed
(a hypnotic state at the beginning of the conversion) the others are wiped off
the face of the planet simply because the Enlightened ones think that they’re potential
Locusts waiting to be transformed. The converted gain new powers but nothing as
extravagant or dangerous as the ones with pure blood. They are faster and
stronger than us but they cannot fly. They do not have the ability to shoot
light or electricity, but do seem to have healing properties. Well that’s the
only power I know they have. What I do know is that they are simply known as ‘the
blessed’.
So as well as these two supernatural sides there’s us. We
are the human resistance. Bands of men, women and children all joined forces in
an attempt to either survive this war or to fight for this planet. I am part of
the latter group. My name is Jack Franco, aged 31. I am a former policeman,
forensic scientist, bouncer and former addict to everything going. My life has
let me encounter people from all across the country, all under different
circumstances. For instance, at this very moment I am leading a group of five
very different people on a small gathering mission to my old apartment.
Hoep you enjoy it!!
Please comment if you think of anything that could have been done better.
