Post-Apocaliptic AU with ask-jaune-and-firion
It had been months since the defences of the Kingdom of Vale had fallen during the Vytal Festival and the territory had stopped being a safe haven from the Creatures of Grimm. Chaos had ensued and Sakikiku had lost contact with both of his parents, finding himself on his own once more.
At the beginning, the population has tried to stay behind what once had been the city walls, believing the buildings to be capable of providing some sort of refuge from the Grimm that now run wild on the streets. And, while Sakikiku had known better, he had too stayed behind, partly in hopes that staying around the area his home was would make it easier for his family to track him down (if they were alive and trying to find him) and due to the availability of food in the commercial district of the city being greater than it would ever be in the wild. But now, all stores had been looted and no more resources were left, so it was time to move.
As far as he knew, he had been the only person in the area for weeks now, most people had fled or died at the hands of Grimm trying to. The question was where to go. There had been no signs of contact from foreign kingdoms nor from any sort of authority from the Kingdom of Vale itself. Should he head to the south and try to cross the wild to Vacuo? Or should he give up and resign to the idea of living in the wild? In such a case, he was familiar enough with Forever Fall.
He closed the bag of supplies he had spent several days now preparing. He was carrying all the water and canned food he had been able to stock, alongside with as much Dust as he had been able to save from when, naturally, his mother's store had been looted. He waited for it to dawn completely before he made his way out to the streets, one of his katanas in hand, he would give the town one last tour and then decide where to head for.
