PROLOGUE
The world used to be very different – or so I was told – but not anymore. It all started with an explosion in New York City; a devastating blast that killed thousands, a terrible bomb that obliterated 5 city blocks. From the ruin – arose Deviant, a freak, an abnormal – Conduit; and with it, apocalypse. A city locked up, the strong stomped on the weak, a terrible plague spread far and wide – killing thousands in mere days.
Then, when you thought things couldn't get any worse, it did. An emergence of deadly Conduit called the Beast was the final nail in the coffin. With a single blow, the world as we knew it vanished. The destruction of the East Coast was accounted for not only millions of lives – but with it – gone everything we loved and cherished. The complicate interconnected global systems that support the way of our lives were no more.
It started with bank failure and economic collapse, people lost their jobs and here came hunger. You would be amazed at how far people would go in desperation. Crime skyrocketed, stores were looted, riots broke out on every corner; the Crown lost its grip in just few months and went swiftly down the hole. The country was overran by chaos.
That was when they came.
The Nationalist had been around for as long as one could remember, but it wasn't until after the crisis they became a force to be reckoned with; when you shouted loud enough, heads would turn. In the time of need, you would want something to rely on, to believe in; someone to tell you what to do, who to hate.
It didn't take long before the League – the Nationalist's paramilitary – started hitting street stomping off any opposition and rounding up anyone the Nationalist deemed unwanted.
That was the world I lived, the world I knew, the world after the Blast, the world after the Beast.
My name was Thomasina Isherwood. I was a Conduit.
Hi, everyone this is my first submitted story on FanFiction. I have written many stories, both in English and my mother tongue, both original story and fan fiction, but yet haven't finish any (my bad). Hope that I would be able to finish this one.
For inFAMOUS Black Torch, I have change something form the cannon story. I use New York City instead of Empire City. I decide to do this because I will use real places in my story, so, using of real places that inspired locations of cannon story sounded reasonable to me, hence, any reference to Empire City and New Marais would be NYC and New Orleans.
English is my second language, so, my English might be wrong in places, if anyone could point out any wrong in my story, I'll be greatly appreciate.
The story will set in UK, and obviously, I'm not British, so, if you can point out any un-Britishness, please feel free to do.
Thank you very much, hope you enjoy my story.
