Hey, this is my first story, of many, and I will plan to update this story every two weeks, but it all depends on my schedule.
Prologue
It has been ten years since the Rotters first came, and since then all hell broke loose; but even in the darkest of times, it only takes a spark of hope, to ignite change, and in time, that spark brought humanity back from the brink.
The world was destroyed, and every government fell into anarchy, and the people, started to get overwhelmed by Rotters, which in turn created more Rotters. The world grew to be a dark place, where death and destruction was the only thing known by humans. After years of suffering human kind start to form communities. One of these communities called Decatur, faces many difficulties, but rises above from all these Challenges, and enters a time of safety and stability.
Decatur's leader was an ex. Navy seal, and extremely heroic man, named Adonis. Who after years of leading them, through the dark times, dies bravely defending a survivor, who was being surrounded by Rotters. The community accepts this survivor, whose name was Noah, as the final wish made by their deceased leader. After the death of Adonis, the community falls onto hard times, but form a council made up of the dead leader's closest friends.
Noah was tall, muscular, and had black hair, and tan skin and was an ex. Ranger. He also had pertained to a community, but the community was destroyed, because it got over run by Rotters. He was part of a group of five that managed to escape, but after months of surviving, he was the last one of the five. The Ex. special operative lost everything, including the will to live. Until one day, the sound of hundreds of Rotters coming from every direction woke Noah up. He began to fight the Rotters off, and managed to kill quiet a few of them, before realizing it was hopeless. He closed his eyes, awaiting his impending death, but after a while, he opened his eyes to see a, man with red hair, and a big bushy beard, fighting off the Rotters and shouting at Noah to get up and run. Noah helped the man fight off the dead, and there combined strength was enough to make a hole, for them to run through the Rotters. They both ran from the dead for 2 days, and the two men became friends during that time. Until the man, Adonis, who was exhausted, slipped on a rock and fell down a steep, small hill, as he fell the was a loud, crack as Adonis's leg broke, from his awkward fall. This allowed a Rotter to come and bite the Ex. Seal in the back. Noah, who had heard Adonis's leg break, ran down the hill and grabbed a nearby branch and proceeded to hit the Rotter, biting the mans back, in the head so hard that the Rotter's head exploded into large chunks. Noah then carried Adonis, in a fireman's carry. The man then directed Noah to where his community was. After 3 hours of non-stop running, The Ex. Ranger managed to get inside the walls' of Decatur. As soon as they got inside everyone surrounded Adonis.
By that time Adonis had lost a lot of blood and was dying. His breaths were short, and raspy, but he managed to stutter out " Accept Noah into the community, because I know that he will be helpful, after I am gone." After Adonis spoke these words he took a sharp and raspy breath in, and then a long and windy breath out, and did not breath again.
The community accepted Noah in, giving Noah his will to live back. Since he had the new responsibility to help his new community, get past the loss of Adonis. He soon became part of the Decatur's council, as well as the head scavenger.
