Darkness Hides Light
=-=-=-=-=2 Aeolian Years Ago=-=-=-=-=
It happened so fast people are calling it the Mass Turn. The planet I lived on was mostly land and the water that was on the planet was owned by companies that you had to pay in order to get water. Aeolia had amazing cities full of technological advancements if you were to stand on the ground and look up you would see hover cars and people with experimental jetpacks all flying around in a controlled chaos. However when the Mass Change happened normal life would never recover. It all started when a purple star started shining on our world many thought it was a sign that something was going to happen and they were right but no one would be prepared for that day… no one was. IT started with hospitals getting swamped with people complaining about headaches and strange behavior it quickly grew out of hand and on the 15 of the 15 month The Mass Change happened. All around our world people were losing their minds and attacking other people. The military was having a hard time due to the sheer number of the "Turned" as the media called them. It was later discovered that everyone on the planet had been infected with the virus as to how everyone was infected it turned out the companies that controlled the water were the ones who were responsible for it happening.

I was gathering food in an abandoned house when I heard the shrieking of a turned nearby. Quietly I took the food I had and left but in my haste I didn't see an empty can until it was too late and I had knocked it over. I winced as the clanging sound filled the air and then I heard the screeching of more of the turned. I ran bolting through doors I didn't even know where there trying to escape the turned that were chasing me all the while praying that there weren't any of the female ones chasing me. When I got to one room that had a lock I shut the door and locked it as fast as I could then looked around for a weapon I could use. What I found would change me for the rest of my life. My eyes landed on a sword in its sheath now even if it wasn't a gun since I had better chances of living with it than without out a weapon. When I drew the sword I found it to be a plain hand-and-a-half long sword with a single clear crystal embedded into its pommel. Suddenly the door burst down behind me and I turned to face the turned that had found me. It was a newly turned I could tell because it still looked like an Aeolian. When it charged me I swung the sword at it hoping to drive it off while wishing I had fire because it was common knowledge that the turned hated fire. While swinging the sword I felt the handle get warm and saw the crystal changing colors to red suddenly the swords blade caught on fire. I don't know who was more surprised me or the turned. With a loud screech the turned ran away when it was gone I dropped the sword and immediately the fire disappeared. When I picked up the sword I knew that I would need it someday. Picking the sword up I put it back in its sheath and buckled the sword to my belt and left the building.

After that event I became a bounty hunter and earned the nickname Turned Hunter. I got it because 1 was one of the few bounty hunters that could kill the Turned and survive the battle. I was now in the last remaining city in the world that wasn't infected. There we found the cause of our salvation and ultimately… our doom.
"It's quiet… too quiet." I muttered while exploring a building in the city.
"What did you expect a welcoming party?" the man next to me chuckled his name was Paul Adverson. The leader of the city I was in.
"No its just to quiet there was turned here the other day so we should be seeing sings of them yet I'm not." I said
When we turned around the corner we found the machines that altered everything. There were instructions in a journal left behind by one of the scientists who were working here. After reading through them Paul wanted to hold a meeting with everyone in charge of the city and left me behind to guard the machines. After he left I pulled out my sword and decided to practice what I knew in swordplay which isn't much but hey you learn fast when running for your life. When they came back I was shocked to find out these 2 machines had the power to send people back in time and to another planet. Immediately Paul and the others set to work on the first machine which sent whoever used it back in time to whenever they wished. The second they didn't so much as look at since it sent whoever used it to a random planet. When they were done tinkering with the first machine Paul turned to the crowd of people that gathered. This was maybe 50 or so people.
"Now I know we are all infected but with this machine we can head back to the past and change the future so this will never happen. Even if we are the last unturned people we shall prevail in fixing this!" with that said Paul turned to me and shook my hand muttering in a voice low enough so only I could here he said the words that changed my fate forever.
"I was lying this machine can't cure us but I'm going to send us back to the week before it happened so we can all see our loved ones again before we turn."
"I will stay and activate the machine" I said to him in a whisper
With that said he turned and shouted out to the crowd
"Let us put an end to this nightmare!" with that a blue portal appeared behind him telling us that the machine was ready. When the portal appeared there was a rush to it a rush back to the past. When the last person went through I shut the portal off and activated the second portal this one was emerald green through it I could see a peaceful valley. With one last breath I left the world I was born in and traveled to a new one to start my search.
To search for my Light in the Darkness and to begin a new life.
Dof: Hey everyone thank you for reading my second chapter of this installment now if any of you are wondering what the Turned look like since here is what they look like. Take a Necromorph and an Infected from The last of us mix in a blender add in a dash of flood parasites and shake. That's what they look like.
?: Why must I go through this?
Dof: I'm the author so what I say goes and this is your backstory. Don't worry everyone we will get to our favorite purple and black dragons soon it won't always be this grim this was just to set up a backstory not the actual story. If anyone wants me to make a story involving Aeolia and my mystery character send me a PM with ideas and I'll see if I can work them into a story
May Fate Be Kind to You
