Chapter 1 - 1: Past and Present

Wings colliding with the air, a bird soaring through the sky, a beautiful country side covered in the suns light and filled with mountains and forests with the occasional river, eventually the bird glides down to a branch.

A few seconds later the bird is flys off because of an appearance of a young boy with brownish black hair, and black skin. running on lush grass with the boy is a dog the size of a wolf with golden fur.

Following the boy he says

"Lucky wait for me" through his breath

The dog Lucky chasing a squirrel up a hill into some soft bushes

*huff, huff*

Reaching near the top I slow down to catch my breath, then waving past the bush I go through. on the other side lucky is looking up at the squirrel: it looking back almost as if it's taunting him.

Menace squirrel

Aside from that the view of this place is amazing, it has mountains with a divot made for the sun and river, along with the beautiful breeze from the trees on each side of the river, with the sound of birds complimenting it even more.

Woahh, this view is "nice"

I walk forward reaching a tree and sit down with my back on the tree and legs wide with the ground visible. lucky reluctantly sits besides me

"I almost lost you lucky" 'I kinda did'

I smile at the warming view, switching my attention to lucky I began to pet him; head to back, almost in a rhythm, glancing back at the view. my hand suddenly becomes increasingly colder….

A large city covered in frost, every road abandoned and covered in layers of snow, it sits alone with no one other than a couple of signal towers and a dim sun.

Its very quiet unlike the usual city

The silence cut by a chopping sound. A knife? Nah a helicopter, The greenish black helicopter flying only as high as the tallest building, the tallest building being roughly 1000 ft.

The helicopter flying directly over the city..

A chopping sound is barely heard slowly becoming louder, he looks up from his legs staring up, his breath visible by the cold, his eyes widen, he naturally traces with his eyes. A cough comes from his mouth.

A gunshot from the helicopter, Instinctively flinch a little, still staring at the helicopter a body falls out just 1 seconds later after the gunshot.

The body still with gear on it, falls onto a building nearby, thinking 'I should go get that'. "well" followed by a sigh

leaning forward he grabs the ground with his right hand, simultaneously beginning to stand with his left leg while dragging his right leg towards his left he finally stands

He's covered in a thick jacket, a neck scarf, with winter pants, his shoes are a weird type of sneakers.
