Identification

Note! Character names will be used later, for now they will only have identification numbers, I'm sorry it's a bit complex but it helps the story build purpose.

Mathias: .1.19-.5.18

Tino: -..14.5.14

Berwald: .1.12.4-..18.14.1

Lukas: .19-.

Emil: -.

Generally however I will make it pretty well known as to who the story would be referring to at the time being. Enjoy!

Preface

It was never supposed to be like this. Curiosity took control and we wanted to know if we were able to do it. It wasn't long ago that human beings were conceived this way. Through touches and conception within the mother. We were almost positive that we ourselves would be sterile, seeing that we were bred into this life like every other being known to us. When we discovered that we had actually conceived, conceived a living breathing child, we were frightened. Termination of the unborn was the only option ... At the time. A feeling began to build within ourselves, an emotion that we couldn't completely place, but because of this feeling... This emotion... This damnation, we chose life for the small abomination. Secretly we preformed a surgery, removing the fetus from ourselves and into its only hope of survival. A pod. As intelligents, this gave us the access, the power. That is until what we thought was the perfect plan, was destroyed by our superior, bringing forth our inevitable deaths.

I take in a lasting breath; then I let it out. I don't know where I really am but I do know however that I am. There is a pressure building around my body and it's almost comforting. I am unable to hear much that is going on around me, but I could care less. I am comfortable. Protected.

My eyes flicker open and I am able to see for the first time. I am floating in a substance unknown to myself. I am surrounded by substances unknown to myself. I look down and see a long cord, bunching in different areas puncturing my abdomen. However this does not alarm me because I feel like it is supposed to be there. I blink a couple more times to get my new eyes adjusted to this newly found light.

What look like to be veins, capillaries and other blood vessels, are surrounding my shelled casing. My surroundings look soft and are red and are dark shades of are objects outside of my soft casing moving around, casting different shadows upon my face and new found body.

The first emotion I feel is peace. The second is confusion.

Suddenly a crack of light explodes into the only world that I've known for the five minutes of my conscious lifetime, threatening to expose me to a white light world made of sterile darkness.

Cold. That is the first thing that hits me. Only at the time I am unable to grasp what cold is, but I knew that I didn't like it. The second thing that hits me is the grasping of latexed hands on my soft plasma soaked arms. Two plastic fingers are placed in my mouth and the scoop out the remaining droplets of plasma.

The beings are making sounds, sounds in which I've never heard before. They're all different though I can tell they speak of the same tongues.

They take me out of my forgiving encasing and place my newly found large body on a sterile table.

I felt a rush of air escape into my body, leaving chills and goosebumps on my skin. The sensation hurt in a small way yet... The feeling of the gasses filling up my body was almost needed. The taking in of air and releasing it was becoming second nature to me, as if it already wasn't.

"6.5.66,number 338, pod 17" A figure stated, it was dressed in a long white fabric, contrasting against my own naked new born skin.

"Identification number .1.19-.5.18" A shorter figure declared in a softer tone opposing to the first maker of the noise.

A bright light flashed in both of my eyes, causing a sound to cry out of my body.

"Pupils dilating," Spoke the second figure again. They then put two small gloved fingers into my mouth again, swiping over the solid objects connecting to the insides of my mouth. "Teeth in tact," Satisfied, they pulled their fingers out.

The first figure dressed in white looked me in the eyes with his tired own and said, "Welcome to Heimlr number .1.9,"

I was then encased once again in a blanket of solitudious darkness.

I looked in the mirror and lazily pushed back my golden blonde locks. Cerulean eyes met my own and slowly took in my appearance. My torso was dressed in a long sleeved white t-shirt, my legs dressed in similar fabrics of white.

It had been 365 days since my birth. Some told me that in the old days this was my "birthday" and that people used to celebrate these days with festivities, though on Heimlr, celebrations such as these were nonexistent.

Slowly I made my way over to my bed, which was covered in stereotypical white coarse sheets and a sad depleted pillow. I crawled under the sheets and glanced at the only poster in the small room I could call my own. It said contained information on Heimlr and information on the different places throughout the multitudes of buildings.

Slowly I rolled over and faced the wall, trying to focus on the sleep that threatened to almost not come naturally.

Heimlr, the place only known to myself. It was where I was conceived by the doctors in the Sjautan Lab.

On Heimlr there are eighteen labs, each lab containing one pod capable of supporting from one to two embryos. The eighteen labs are broken down into associations of three. Each association supervising over the DNA of the embryos within their pods, and each association is assigned different groups within the genetic coding.

The first association is called Alteration, where you may have telekinetic or illusionistic abilities, or may even be able to plant thoughts into other people's heads.

The second association is called Intelligence, Intelligence breeds the doctors, the embryonic researchers and the scientists.

The third association is Gangavarr (meaning "Extended Awareness") the abilities associated with Gangavarr includes: Abilities to sense when something's wrong, sense decisions being made, sense the future, and even sense the thoughts around you.

The fourth association is called the Childbaring Association. The select members born into this association are bred to give perfect genetic information to the embryonic researchers to the other associations, keeping the cycle of birthing into the different associations alive.

The fifth association is called Likamiskipan (meaning "Body Changer"). The people born into this association are able to change their bodies to an extent, meaning that they are able to change their shape but are unable to loose or gain any mass.

The last association, also the sixth is called the Heightened Physical Abilities Association, the members of this association have extended physical abilities such as superior eyesight as well as "super strength".

Each association has a different rank of importance, where Alteration is the most important and Heightened Physical Abilities is the least. Each association strives to create the most perfect, pure person, based on their looks and abilities.

Within the first year of our birth we are expected to learn to read, write and speak, as well as the members of the Childbaring association are expected to teach their pupils these life skills. The child barer that I ended up getting stuck with was a man whose Identification Number was -..14.5.14. He had eyes that emitted a deep purple and his hair shone of white blonde. His skin was a healthy, soft glow of the fairest of paled skins, making him look almost as if he was made of the most perfect porcelain. It was natural for the people who associated with Childbering to be the most beautiful out of all the associations, seeing that it would be their genetics to push forward into the next generation.

Though the man was only about a year older than I, he taught me how to speak, read and write. He was very kind and gracious and instantly we formed a bond. Even after he had taught me all that he could, we still remained close and friendly towards each other, in contrast to many others whose teachers had left without much else to say.

Childbarers and Intelligents work close together, helping and pushing the ones under their care closer to success. A student Intelligent, had been assigned to myself. He was a very tall man who wore a halo of golden hair and a stern look tattooed across his face as if he was always scowling. His Identification Number was .1.12.4-..18.14.1. He along with the shorter man soon became my friend.

The taller man as an Intelligent training to be a Doctor and an Embryonic Researcher, had access to many other subjects in different associations, though with this access, he only made a few select friends, careful as to who to befriend. Because friends were tricky in Heimlr and step on the wrong crack would break a chain of events leading to your almost imminent death, but with his position he did manage to befriend two others. Twins to be exact. Twins that were born from the same embryo and then split to form two different fetus'.

The firstborn out of the two was a talented Gangevarr, as well as my closest friend. He was neatly kept, always brushing his hair to the side, out of his eyes, and groomed to perfection. His eyes were perfect shades of indigo that seemed to see through every particle of your body, taking you apart molecule by molecule. He had a slim figure and very much kept to himself.

His brother on the other hand, though they were twins, their DNA was changed and edited in different ways. His skills were lacking, which his brother had covered for him, and his hair white as snow and skin almost as fair. His eyes, almost the same shade as the childbarer's but looked more like delicate, precious stones, flecked different vibrant shades of violet.

The first born's Identification Number was .19-. and his brother's was -..

Though the year had gone by fast for myself, I couldn't stop this feeling of imminent dread that spread across my own body for what seemed to be for no apparent reason. Seeing that I was a Heightened Physical Abilities Associate, I didn't pay much heed, knowing that this feeling was probably something to ignore.

Probably.

Sleep soon washed over my body and I felt a heaviness take over. That night I dreamt many nightmares, all of which I would have no semblance of a memory in the morning that was inevitable to come.

EDIT: I don't know why it's not letting me type out the full identification numbers? I'm sorry I don't know why it won't save them as that! Man I spent so much time figuring out eveyone's individual code too.

Heh, I feel like I'm overloading you guys with information. A big shout out to Em, who sat with me and helped me build a plot for this story, I couldn't do this without you bro.

So what do you guys think so far? I would really like reviews... Since this is my first attempt at anything sci-fi ish or anything like... With a huge plot like this. This will probably be 10 chapters and I swear to Jesus Christ almighty I will finish those other ficts, this just came to mind and I had to write it!

This story will be written in 3rd person, but will for the most part, be told from Mathias' point of view. I'm sorry this chapter is so short I just didn't want to overwhelm you all with information and I felt like I was so... I promise chapters will be longer and you will get explanations for everything and I swear to god everything will make sense!

Oh and some characters will briefly get names next chapter, (this may seem weird but it shall be explained!)

Also note! Some words used in this are not English (duh) and they originate from Old Norse. Throughout this fict there will be some Old Norse or words that I make up that contain Old Norse but I will always tell you guys what they mean and stuff.

Heimlr: The article "Heim" in old norse means "home" so basically this place is named "home".

Gangavarr: I literally made this word up using the Old Norse words "Extend" and "Aware".

Likamiskipan: Again I literally made this word up using the Old Norse words "Body" and "Change".

Oh and the name of the lab isn't really significant, though that also is Old Norse for the word "seventeen"

So uh, thanks for reading and remember to leave a review, I reall want to know your thoughts and feelings!
