In the year 2591, the world population suffered an outbreak of an unknown disease that infected the entire population, killing 70% of the whole world over the course of 8 months. Those who survived however began to notice that they had developed strange abilities. Over the next hundred years, they used their abilities to rebuild the world and start a new era of peace. But that was until

3831

That was the year it happened. The world was engulfed in flames by a being more powerful then any weapon the human race could throw at it. City’s were destroyed. Countries burned. But how this being came into the world was the question that the W.D.P (World Defence Program) continued to ask themselves, even as the world around them began to crumble. The answer lied, however, in the ashes of one individual who was one of the first to perish. This is the story of how Chaos was born…..

Year 3830

---

Tall buildings, typical of a large city, stretched up from the ground alike to giants made from stone and glass, the streets between them like thick ribbons of black bordered by grey, marking the roads and paths. As the sun followed its path through the sky, it reflected off the glass windows of the buildings, creating sparkling patches of blinding light across the windows, further illuminating the surfaces around them. The city wasn't all just buildings, however, there were more peaceful areas, such as parks with bright, emerald green, grass, sparkling as the sun reflects off the small dew drops across the blades of grass. Some of these parks contained trees, trees with large, strong wooden trunks that have been rooted in their place for years, constantly growing, being used to provide shade when things were too warm and bright, or to provide shelter for smaller creatures throughout the year. There weren't that many people out at the parks today, and despite the sun shining as bright as ever, the day was still cool in temperature, with a cold biting wind blowing by occasionally. Though the parks and other places commonly used for relaxation were quiet, the city itself was still busy and full of life. People walking this way and that trying to get to places, whether to go to the shops for groceries or clothes or other such things, or to go to their jobs, or even just to take the family's pet dog for a walk. With the movement of people taken into consideration, the streets could be considered quite crowded - especially in the busiest times of the day where it can be quite difficult to manoeuvre around people to get around the city.

Amongst this movement of people was a rather small child - she was around 12 years old, but could easily pass for a couple of years younger with her smaller than average size. She was wearing a crimson red jacket with the hood up, covering her brown cat ears and black horns that were, in shape, similar to that of a ram. She had a pair of feathered wings folded tightly to her back, trying to take up as little space as possible, with each feather being a smooth gradient from a medium-light brown to black at the end, just like her hair. As she moved between people, trying to avoid running into anyone or getting hit by anything they may have been carrying, as it was rather easy for people to not even realise she was there with her size, she looked around. She didn't really know where she was going, she just knew she was going somewhere, unless she was somehow accidentally walking in circles - which was definitely a possibility in such a large place. Her black, scaled, dragon-like tail flicked as she walked, trying to be careful not to accidentally trip someone up with her tail, which was always a possibility even if she was trying to be careful.

*As the girl walked down the street, she came across a group of people who had weird haircuts and clothing. But one thing they all had in common were tattoos that glew neon colors. While walking however, she accidentally bumped into one lady of the group, who looked as physically imposing as she spoke. She had a neon tattoo that glew a bright neon green, but changed to a red when she saw the girl.* Watch it kid! *The girl didn't turn her head, but the woman watched her for a moment as she chewed bright green bubble gum. She turned to her buddy next to her.* I'll be right back Lionel! Gotta deal with that kid! *Lionel laughed and stuck with the group* You do you Talla! Meet you back at Richard's house!

The kid carried on walking, more lost in a world of her own than anything else - practically oblivious to anything going on around her. She couldn't help it sometimes, just thinking of different things and situations, wondering what something would've been like if something different happened, things such as that could easily get her distracted from reality. Currently she found herself wondering what it'd be like to fly, stretching her wings out the slightest bit as she walked and thought of the wind ruffling her feathers from high in the air. She was so lost in thought that she nearly tripped over, quickly trying to catch her balance again as she suddenly found herself dragged back to reality.

*Talla followed the girl for alittle while until she saw the girl stretch beginning to stretch out her wings. For a moment, Talla thought to herself, but then shook her head and walked backwards away from the girl. A few minutes later, she saw her friends outside of a building with loud music blasting from within.* Hey Talla! Where you been? *Talla looked up and smiled* Didn't Lionel tell you? I went to follow that little prick who bumped into me. *The guy shook his head* Naw, Lionel split couple minutes ago with that girl he's been hangin' with. Said he was finally gonna get lucky. *The whole group laughed and Talla shook her head* Knowing Lionel, we'll see him in a garbage can half naked on Wednesday. *The group continued to laugh but Talla couldn't get her mind off something. There was just something about that girl, she sensed it. And although she could feel and hear her friends talking to her, she just couldn't get out of her own head until one of them shook her vigorously* Talla? What's going on with you? *Talla looked at them and lied* Just thinking of that guy from last night, the hot one who I took back to my place last night. *One of Talla's friends mockingly "oohed" and Talla smiled* But screw it, let's get into the club!

The girl stopped for a moment, looking around herself as if nervous, or was it just embarrassment from nearly falling over, and quietly hoping nobody saw it? She quickly turned off of the main streets to walk down an alleyway, putting her hands in her pockets as she walked, mostly out of habit. She walked out onto a different street entirely, looking around curiously. A part of her was still trying to map out some parts of the city mentally, just to make it easier for her to wander around, which she does quite frequently. She walked down the street, trying to see if there was anything of interest, something to mark this place as different from any other street in the city. Then she paused for a moment as her stomach growled. Food. She almost forgot about that. The biggest issue was that she didn't exactly have any money to buy something to eat. She hadn't even realised how hungry she was until that moment, in fact, but now she had realised she was having trouble ignoring the fact that she was hungry. That's when her priorities changed from mentally mapping out the area, to seeing if she could grab something to eat, which she knew would be a bit of a struggle without money but she wasn't just going to let herself starve.

*Inside the club, bright lights were flashing along with techno music that was blasting incredibly loud. And while her friends were dancing, Talla's mind was somewhere else. While her body was in the club, her spirit was following the girl. She could see the unsureness in her steps. She heard her belly rumble as she walked through crowds. Talla pulled herself out of her trance and began to walk out of the club, much to the surprise of her friends.* Talla, where are you going?! *Talla turned around* Taking care of something! I'll meet you back at the house!

She walked around, trying to think of some plan to get something to eat. If worst came to worst she could try to steal something to eat, but she wasn't sure how well that would go down, 'probably not very.' She thought. Her tail flicked with every step as she thought more and more. She had to get food somehow, but how? Maybe stealing food was her best option, but with how wrong it could go.. She didn't want to literally go digging through trash for food, as much as she was hungry was she that desperate? No, not yet anyway. She continued walking, hoping that maybe some opportunity would present itself that wouldn't put her in any harms way. 'I should just, go ahead and do it, consequences be damned, if i'm hungry, i'm hungry, it's not my fault.' She thought for a moment 'But... what if those consequences are too much, i'm still just a kid..' Torn between two separate ideas she looked around, not entirely knowing which idea was better - waiting for an opportunity that might never come, or just taking what she needed with potential consequences she couldn't deal with.

**Talla ran out of the club and began teleporting around the city, looking for the girl. And then, she found her and began to run after her* Hey kid!

"H-huh?" She turned around, her tail curling around herself as she partly assumed that she had done something wrong, even if nothing came to mind on what that something could've been. Her wings folded tightly against her back, to a point where it was almost uncomfortable and her cat ears flattened slightly as she tried to think, what to do or say, what was going to happen, she wasn't entirely sure and that is what made her as nervous as she was.
