Advertisement
After the incident in H-56 a sector for people to live in got overrun people are starting to wonder if Last light will stand after what happened a couple weeks ago things in the city are going to get interesting after all i think the presence of the military is becoming more common by the day i wish i could help them with there work but i need to wait 4 more weeks and then i can join.
"Richard where are you man, come out you won the game" Said someone behind the wall, Richard was hiding inside a bush "did i really win the game" as i sit here wondering or not if i won or not something clawed its way from the back of mind to remind me of something, why i wanted to join.
"yea you did, Jesus with how good you are with hiding i am starting to think the Aku-no would never find you if you went out to the lands of old" said the unknow man "yea i think same, well Jacob lets head back so i can brag about winning again" we started to both to head back so i can brag about winning for 50th time "so how are after couple weeks since the take over, it must been harsh having to leave home" Jacob trying to start a convo "yea it was hard just wondering how will my home look like"
It is hard to leave a home that you stayed in for your hole life, it hurts but when it happened i did not know what think i just followed the people running and it got me to safety you see i am the only child of my After what we call the Accident in my family it was something that made want to join the boys in black but i needed to be older which sucked when the accident happened but that is what we call life.

we walked back to the grounds in silence after what was asked.
when we reached the grounds we saw all the others look really depressed after losing to me for 50th time in 5 months they wondered how it happened how the hell did the person who always got caught first start to win something must of happened for him to starting to win.
"yay he has been found, this is what 50 times now" said on person as we come out of the forest
"yep 50 maybe you guys should start hiding better" i replayed
"maybe you should start hunting us instead of hiding" The voice of a young women chimed in we are all the same age and know each other from childhood like Jacob from earlier the young man who said i was at 50 wins was Kenneth and the young woman was Elizbeth or Liz and one other who was sleeping jack.
"JACK!" yelled Jacob "we found him"
"oh you have, finally i can go home instead of waiting for your dumbass trying to find him" he replied sourly as he was woken from his sleep. this group of friends fell like home like old times with Cody, well when he was alive that is.
i should go into that should i, Cody the person i mentioned was my younger brother before he was killed by the Aku-no no one saw how he died but he never came home after went out to old lands before the city started to be under siege and how the mutants were more common but that was years ago but about 5 months before now my parents were approached by the military to see if wanted to join the cadets and then become a solider of Last Light to fight the Aku-no and reclaim home.
now that think about this reminds me of a book i read called attack on titan good book but back on hand.

my parents said they have to give them an answer later and so they left and parents asked me do i or do i not want to join, as you may can tell i decide to join which is simple i wanted revenge for happened with to my brother but maybe i also had other reasons, when i was kid and saw the outside world with my brother and father and grandpa we all saw the world of old it was beautiful, you know i heard stories of that the old world was full of green plains and lush forests, big yellow desserts before the war of old it must have looked nicer than the green fields and forests of radiation well not much of it now it was all so nice to hear and i want to see it, like the Military.
"you know jack you could stop all the complaining about everything"
"No! it is the one thing i am good at" jack replied as i finished my sentence he good at complaining and being an ass in general but it is jack and we cant jack being jack.
after we have finished talking about jack and he complains to much another group of people we all know and somewhat hate was walking by, the group was composed of people who always talk shit about others who are lower than them.
as they pass we here them whispering about us we don't care about it but it does get annoying time to time, but you just need to get used to it. then some else passes by but they must be new as i have never seen them so they must have moved from a different sector i wonder which one but other that she looks like a blossom tree in full bloom, well the simple version she is hot and yea that's it.
still have never meet her and probably never will which sucks i always wanted to find love but i will probably never will but with how she is looking at us i think i may have a shot who knows won't find out until you try.
but off horny mind of soon to be 20 year old and back to what we are doing after i was enchanted by the looks of the new person i did not hear what they are doing then i found out as they all wanted to know what i was encapsulated with best if i don't tell them
"what's on your mind thorn looks like you have just seen some amusing" jack said trying to get a response "nothing that important just stuff on mind since i joined cadets" they look at me worryingly "scared about joining the fight soon" that hit hard i never really thought about that how would others feel if i die or leave for a while how would be i guess that's why i joined and want to join sooner so that i can make sure the same thing that happened to my younger brother does not happen again.
but i like what i have a the moment i am glad that everything is fine here and wont happen again i am sure of it not in sort time like 2 weeks i am sure it will happen in the next month or so, by then i am there to help.
but i whish that was true as the sirens sound for us to leave...

This is a high fantasy story with horror elements, featuring the map-maker and half-elf Aspen, and his friend Sekafi, a hyena-like humanoid as they are sent on a mission to map out unknown territory and encounter a monster. Soon they're involved in something larger and more dangerous than they ever wanted. What happens next, you'll find out when you read. This is the first story I'm publishing here on RoyalRoad. I wanted to try this site out since it's more geared towards fantasy. I've been at Wattpad for about 2 years under the same name, but since I'm not writing romance I haven't gotten much steam there. This is my latest story, and it's also published on Wattpad in the book called Short Stories. I wanted to start with something new and unfinished here. I'll try and update at least once every other week, sometimes more often. ~RiisingNovels
