Tales Before The Storm —Prologue
Well, guess what, this IS the big project of mine. This is just my things, this universe has 4 damn parts its divided into, and this is the 2nd part, and my favorite.
Quick context:
My story is set in 2023, and for plot convenience, Covid didn’t happen, cus this is my universe and that shit didn’t happen here.
This is just the prologue and ofc it’s short, the next chapters are way longer than this.
I only write for myself most of the time, and writing this, with the purpose of sharing it with the world makes me a bit of a perfectionist, so, that’s why I’ll probably take some time writing every chapter. I just want to show my characters to the world, I want to show everyone the world I’ve been building for the last 2 years (not so much ehhhhh) and if anyone ACTUALLY likes my story pls leave an ask I love asks sm

It's weird isn't it?
How everyone here lives cooped inside a small city, no one willing to leave. Not many can come, just to avoid the risks. We are avoiding and avoiding, it's the better option in this world.
There isn't any chance of survival out there, outside a city with security, fatality is the only fate. But if the city itself thinks it’ll always be safe… If that happens, they’ll all join the deceased. The monsters don’t see any difference, most would die, only a few unfortunate souls survive, to be haunted with that traumatizing night.
Inside here, Tsavorite, the security is fair, not hyper secure, but not dangerous, people do care about the possibility of an invasion from Shifters, but others don’t, ignoring the news, ignoring how they could be the next ones. The chances are low, but never zero. Ignorants.
Ignorants are some pieces of shit, I can remember their horrendous talking every time.
…
“Man, this classes are just extra effort…” Someone says
“Yeah, only useful for you men, girls won’t go to the army for 1 year!” Another one says “Oh yeah? And what if a Shifter camouflages here and kills you? You won’t know how to defend yourself~!” Mocking and mocking and mocking.
“Oh so NOW you care about that?” Jokes, I hate that.
Those are the usual talking from the personal defense classes, mandatory for every student, learning how to defend oneself, weapons, guns, all fake of course, again, more risks. All we had to do was land good on a dummy, easy after certain time. Some do it for the extra grade, others don’t care, some do actually care and took this seriously, only to be mocked by all those ignorants.
No one is safe here, no one even knows how to kill them, that’s why everyone prefers to ignore the possibilities. There are legends of those people that found out and never saw light again, was it a curse? Other of those monsters? Did they turn into one of them for finding forbidden knowledge? Choose to believe in what you want.
If they attack in mass, there is no escape.
That’s how everyone’s been living for a good while. Maybe since forever.
And maybe we’ll continue like this, until the end, or maybe not, I just hope that.
