“We live because we are and we are because we live. We strive to become for the sake of being and in this we are. Aren’t we?”

Life isn’t life now a day no…Life is suffering and pain it is manifestation off of the pain of the earth and we are the cause we are the fault. We made this and it is our mistake we made this and it is in our own rights to suffer it is our fault. Ours!

“Dark. Silent. Dead.”

These three words are now in my mind as I look over the destruction left behind from the war as I look over the crumbled walls and decaying forms of bodies and flames flickering to the sky creating hell. Hell on earth.


We were warned by sources by nature itself by the past and by the future we were warned but instead we carried on and for that now we are not, We don’t exist anymore only some of us and there is very few mutated now by time mutated now by the past. Human kind is to restart our world and make a new civilization but the humans left on the earth we barely can make it we can barely live and it is our fault we are to be killed by the hands that destroyed themselves.

You will survive my daughter just live on with your closest family they will nurture you avoid all government and make it you are the key my love my lovely daughter I don’t know if you will remember me but I am watching over you
Love always,
your mother


Oni scanned the piece of paper over once more before glancing up. The sky was covered in a layer of smog the moon was barely seen shattered around the sky. The night was depressing. Oni knew this but she still found it beautiful. Though she tried every night to picture the night sky as it once was trying to picture what the stars looked like. She had only heard of these things never seen. She wondered if perhaps they were a legend she was so used to the moon’s shattered form. Trying to grasp it as full and together made her .eye brows knot. She reached over to a necklace set upon her chest and lifted it up. A locket which shined as it touched the glint from the moon and sent off a small spark in Oni’s heart. She let out a small sigh and opened it up to hear a melody playing through the quiet night it was peaceful and sent her into a different place as it played. Then a loud bang was heard making her jump she glanced back from the hill she sat on top of to a small rickety house made up of scrap wood barely holding itself up. She jumped up and ran down towards it her heart racing had they found us? The thought shot through her head as her heart pounded more then she barged into the door to see her grandfather covered in flour on the floor a bowl on top his stomach. Oni blinked “OLD MAN! What happened ”Oni asked worry and annoyance in her tone as she propped down and helped her grandpa to his feet the old man was now drunken with laughter.

Oni sat him up on a chair turning the sink on and patiently waiting for the mans laughter to come to a stop as she put a washrag to his arm cleaning off the white powder from him. Her grandpa let out a small breathes and gave her a grand smile “Well it seems I mistook a chicken for a Nanthral Scared the life outta me!” He said cheerfully Oni on the other hand who almost suffered from a heart attack herself she shook her head. She wondered why he would think it was a Nanthral they did not come around this area they prefer dark area’s and tropic forest. A Nanthral was also known as Demon bird. Its taste for flesh was incredibly scary as well as its razor sharp talons and sharp beak. It was another accident from WW3 not a good one though. “Grandpa you know they don’t come around here what put that into your mind?” Oni asked glancing around the room a bad feeling rushed over her but she shook it away. Her grandpa looked up at her from his spot his once cheerful face full with concern “Times are a’changing m’dear just the other day I saw a nanthral fly over head right when the sun Is bright maybe they are runnin’ outa there food or maybe something is drivin’ them demon chickens outta there natural environment.” Her grandpa then put back on his great cheerful face “But no worries doll your tough like your pop you would be able to take em hands down, Now will you do me a favor? I need some fresh water seeing as we are runnin’ bit low. So why don’t you take your mind off things and in the morning right when the water is fresh and new get up and perhaps take yourself a nice oll bath.” He stood up his old skin stretching over him and bones causing him to shake as he head towards his bed. Oni stood watching the old man placing the rag down and leaning back against the counter. She couldn’t stop thinking about what he had mentioned of the Nanthrals and how they where flying when the sun was out. She looked out the window the shattered moon still there and stretched out Sleep was a good idea so she would take it.

“RUN!” The echo of scream shattered through the sky piercing the soul of a man in black wardrobe running desperately from the sounds of motorcycle engines behind him revving and tearing towards him. He had something in his hand clutching onto it for dear life his heartbeat quickened as he jumped down into the opening of the forest. The motorcycles could be heard slowing down. “Don’t let him get away!” A deep mans voice was serious and could be heard through the night sky then foot steps could be heard the man in black jumped down into a grove breathing heavily heart racing. He heard voices near and footsteps coming towards him he hid down into the ground the dirt and nature against his skin and ground hot from the fires.

A light could be seen a flashlight glare towards him but not touching him he saw as the light traced just and inch away from him “DANEX!!” A voice was heard screamed and the men that where following him could be heard running away. A loud screech as if an animal dying was heard through the forest the man in black’s heart raced more clutching the item closer he saw the figure. The smell was enough to kill a man smelling of decay and rotten flesh the appearance of it was even more so repulsive teeth layered over its lips that looked like rotting flesh stretched over. Guts showing through the skin that seemed slimed over as well the hands where human like but had long claws covered in blood. The screech could be heard once more and the ground vibrated as it came towards the man it leaped up in the air the figure shadow like as its eyes glowing red and it pounced towards the man in black.”

Oni shot up from her bed eyes widened and beads of cold sweat running down her for head she let out a breathe wiping the sweat away and looked out the window the scenery was misty and you could see several crumbled buildings poking from the mist.
She stretched out and shook the nightmare out from her mind reaching over her bed post to turn the clock “Damn it’s only five well guess ill be getting the water early” She stood up and looked down to a black puff on the ground breathing it was her ancient cat who was pregnant scruffy as always and pure black. She smiled and stroked her back “Aww mama kitty getting sleep at least” The old cat glanced up a tired and cranky look on her face. Oni grimaced and backed away grabbing her jacket and sliding into It “alright, alright I get it” She shrugged and headed outside pushing her dagger into her boot and picking up the water bucket from the slope she slid down it and landed on the trail. The day was beautiful in her eyes though it was misty and things where destroyed around though she tried her best cleaning up the mess all she could. She walked down the trail leading to the clear water lake stretching out and staring up at the sky the hint of the sun shining through the clouds made her smile. It was a good sign to her seeing as she wanted to go swimming and maybe wash up. She walked more when a rustle could be heard she jumped at the noise and looked around her eyes scanning around. It was dangerous no matter where you where and the anthral story frightened her more so. The thoughts of it being and anthral made her heart jump and it didn’t help that another rustle was heard. She reached down and slid her dagger out slowly walking towards the noise. A crow flew off real fast and made her heart jump she then sighed with relief walking more towards where the crow was confused.

The sight she was made her stomach turn over and heart stop there was a corpse of a man she felt as if she would throw up at any moment his flesh hanging barely from his bones she figured the crow was picking at the body for food. That is when something twisted in her mind the black clothed man in the dream then the piece of black cloth hanging from the corpse the body was mingled torn to pieces and the mans face was in scream his arms where crossed over and his hands where clutched over something. She tilted her head and reached down to the corpse’s hand drawing back real fast. “What are you doing?” She cursed to herself but her curiosity got to her and she reached down gripping the hand and prying it open the man was holding a small tiny box she blinked and took it from his hands examining it with wonder it was made of steel a weird writing was etched into it and small a small clutch was on front she was about to open it when she heard a gunshot throughout the forest. Her eyes widened as she heard where it was coming from. Her heart pounded and she stuck the tiny box into her pocket.

Oni ran down from the trail as she ran mist crowded her eyes and she felt as if she was blind the fact her heart was beating like a jack rabbit. Did not help at all as she saw the scene In front of her and her breathe stopped there in front of her was a depressing scene. Her grandpa was being dragged out of the house her dead grandpa out. Her heart raced as she backed up and started running. NO NO! She screamed in her head over and over eyes widened and her body shaking and trembling who where they why were they there these thoughts traced in my mind over and over. She started running her heart pounding she couldn’t bare what was going on so she had to close her eyes as she ran and felt herself tremble as she went on. She felt herself falling as she opened her eyes she was heading down hill rocks and gravel heard under her shoes. She slammed down on her back and looked up at they sky she knew she needed to keep running but still she wanted to know what was going on. She slowly rose up pushing her body up and breathing out harder. She looked over her shoulder none seemed to be coming so she let out a small breathe and set off again. The day was getting darker as she walked on now confused of where she was anymore.


She stood up and let out a sigh then felt them the tears they came up and showered down her face was dry but now the moisture of the salty water was burning Her face as well as her eyes. A hollow feeling hit her heart and she breathed out gasping back and forth her head spinning she felt like she would vomit but stood herself up instead. And stared off at the world before her eyes now so lost the land seemed unwelcoming the air was fogged and she was blind to the maze she was already struggling through. She then remembered the box in her pocket and took it out she felt it with her finger tips then remembered once more the dream the men must have been looking for it she glared and held her arm back ready to throw it into the endless fog but then as she moved her arm forward she stopped. She looked down at the box why could this object make someone kill someone?

CHAPTER 1: The Box



Oni stood there staring at the box then she heard a noise her heart pounded as a figure jumped towards her then she heard a noise as if a smoke bomb she blinked and something appeared her she turned around quickly and there stood a boy. He was about her height but taller with lengthy arms and a side lopped grin his hair looked un kept and slightly fell over his face. He grinned two fangs showing over his lips his clothes was raggy and ripped up mostly she could see a cloak his eyes where of a dark brown he reached his hand out and tilted his head positioning himself into a bow then raising up his hair falling back over his face. “vhy vello I am of thee clan of thy legacy and investor of the lost souls. Vhy are you here?” he asked his grin growing and slightly tilting his head. Oni glanced at him and backed up one step never really meeting anyone but his grandpa she bit down on her lip and thought of a reply she didn’t know whether this man was bad or good but he seemed not like them men in the black. Oni opened her mouth and felt like a fish gasping for air as she closed it back. The boy grinned “Thy name is Kaden and I Vill now take your soul!” The figure disappeared an array of smoke shrouding around him and he she heard the smoke bomb noise once more and glanced up looking back to see him in the air flying towards her she fell back wincing. “Wait! No!” She cried out struggling to crawl away as the crazy boy jumped at her once more. She rolled over and felt something drop her eyes widened feeling around her neck it was her locket she went to reach for it. Before she could reach it Kaden grabbed it “aha Vhat is this?” He asked then opened it the tune started playing and the boy seemed frozen as if he had been shot his eyes glared and he looked down at Oni “Vhere? Vhere did you get this?” He seemed angry Oni sat up her hands in defense position “I got it from my mom now give it back!” Oni reached for it and grabbed it jumping back Kaden stared at her then his eyes fell soft “you survived.” her murmured reaching over to touch her cheek Oni leaped back and stared at him. Oni grinned “you look just like her.” Oni stared at him “liker her? Who do you mean?” She tilted her head
