Chapter 1: The Girl and the Dog
The sun came out in the morning, the ruins of the old city meet the sun once again, it was a shame that the buildings were in such a state... Abandoned, left to rot, to decay. Vegetation took over must of those building and cover them with green, the streets were cover with dirt and dust. The city in the middle of nowhere was a little jungle now, compared to what it used to by in the past. In the entrance of one of the buildings, a girl was standing there, looking around, smelling the air of the morning. She was a little different from the normal human being. She had a white horn on the left side of her head, her right arm was monstrous, it was like an Aragami arm and her left arm was cover in scales. Besides all that, the rest of her body was completely normal.
Murasaki Sakaki yawn and scratch her hair a little, she used to have brown hair, but for some reason, it was starting to change colors. It was now white. She was wearing a black sleeveless shirt and black pants, Murasaki keeps smelling the air until she suddenly stops and looks to the north, she then smiles and runs toward the smell without a doubt. She was running faster than any human being, even faster than any of the God Eaters she has ever known. Murasaki jumps at the wall of a building and climbs it with her bare hands. Her finger stabs the concrete and she quickly gets to the top. Once on the rooftop, she looks from the edge, there was her prey. She saw a Vajra and a little group of Ogretails, they weren't attacking each other, so they were cooperating. Murasaki was salivating, she cleans her mouth and then let herself fall from the edge of the building. She landed on top of a car, destroying it in the process and run toward her prey without showing any signs of slowing down.
The Vajra saw her and roar at her, the Ogretails get closer to the Vajra, to protect him, but it was useless. Murasaki got to them and she kills all the Ogretails in a matter of seconds thanks to the skeletal wings that came out of her back, just like the Dyaus Pita. The Ogretails were massacred and the Vajra was the only Aragami that was standing. Murasaki look at him in the eyes, never looking away, the Vajra did the same. Murasaki take a step closer and her wings spread in the air, she was truly threatening. The Vajra roar again and take a couple of steps back, he was afraid of her. The blood and organs from the Ogretails were in her wings, she smiles and with one, precise, move she cut the Vajra's head off. The body was still standing for at least four seconds before falling to the ground. Murasaki's wing go back inside her back, making a sound of crushing bones in the process. Once she was done, she walks to the body and with her bare hands open the beast's stomach, she searches and there it was, The Core. She grabs it and eats it savagely. Like all manners she once had didn't exist at all, she wasn't the same person she once was, it's even debatable if she's even a person anymore.
Murasaki finishes eating the core, but she wasn't satisfied. She keeps eating the corpse but stopped when she heard something behind her. She turns around and in the middle of the street, there was a dog, a black dog. Murasaki looks at the animal for a moment and then go back eating. The dog walks toward her with curiosity in his eyes. The dog gets closer to her and smells her feets nervously. Murasaki looks at the canine again, this time she moves away from him, but the dog follows her. She takes a piece of meat from the Aragami and throws it next to the dog. As soon the meat falls to the ground, the dog jump at the meat and start eating. Murasaki's eyes were focused on the dog, she was wondering how it was possible for him to be alive outside, in this world of giant monsters killing each other and everything that stands in their way. The dog wasn't that big, it was small, a puppy. She knew that race of dogs, they grow up quite large. Murasaki left the Vajra's body and sit in front of the dog, just like him, she was starting to get curious. The dog leaves the meat on the ground and looks at her, she touches the dog in the head and pats him. The dog not only let her touch him, but he was enjoying it. Murasaki smile at the little animal. She looks around before standing up again.
"You look kinda lonely," She said. "You want to come with me? I can take care of you... If you want" The dog bark at her while moving his tail. Murasaki grabs the dog and takes him with her...
It was dark outside. The night takes over the world for the next hours and the Aragamis start to get more active. In the last floor of a tall building, a little light could be seen. Inside, Murasaki was looking outside the window for a moment. She didn't look tired... Because she wasn't. She can't sleep, not because she is making an effort to remain awake, but because she is unable to sleep. From time to time, she gets tired and can take a little nap, but the rest of the year she's wide awake. She saw the candle next to her and then to the little dog she "adopts". She put her hand on his head and stroke it gently. She then turns to the desk, the diary on top of it was open. She grabs a pen and writes once again.
"Today I find a dog... It was really odd. I wasn't expecting to be one in the wild, especially a puppy. If I let it outside, he won't last a day, not even hours. I've decided to take it with me, mostly because I want some company... even if it is a dog, I need someone or something to talk. So much silence is driving me crazy... The Aragamis start to move in groups, big groups. I encounter a group today, but it wasn't that big, compared to the ones I saw a week ago, it was nothing but there's a possibility that something is happening. Lately, I'm seeing big Aragamis being protected by smaller Aragamis, mostly Ogretails, Zygotes, and some Cocoon Maidens. There are also new Aragamis around. Who knows how Fenrir is calling them, for now, I don't name them I just kill them or avoid them if they look dangerous... Like the Ouroboros. I can kill one, but there's no need for me to go after one"
"Anyway, I'm planning to move out to another area tomorrow. This building is actually a good hiding, but I prefer something with bigger doors and walls. Maybe something underground would be nice this time... I'll go south for now. I think I know a perfect place to hide... I only have to wait and see... Oh, and the name of the dog... I don't know... Isaac looks like a good name, isn't it?"
Murasaki closes the diary and sighs. She goes back to the window and stares at the outside world, like waiting for something to happen... She then turns around for a moment and walks to the bag she had near her bed. She grabs it and takes out a little box, inside there was a broken walkman, she smiles at it for a moment and grabs it. It was torn apart, even the cassette is useless now. She grabs the headphones and pretends to listen to music. She whispers the lyrics of a song...
This is a tricky situation
I've only got myself to blame
It's just a simple fact of life
It can happen to anyone
You win, you lose
It's a chance you have to take with love
Oh yeah, I fell in love
But now you say it's over and I'm falling apart
I'm falling apart... I'm falling apart...?
She repeated the same lyrics for a while, like she completely forgot the rest of the song or simply couldn't like singing because of the strong feeling of nostalgia she felt. Murasaki takes out her headphones and put them back in the box alongside the broken walkman. She put all back in the bag and just stay in the bed looking at the wall. A single tear came out of her left eye, she didn't notice it, she didn't feel it... She just stays there, thinking about her life before she became this... When her life was simpler... When she had people around her who she could trust and rely on... Friends, family... But now all that is gone... She can't go back, there was no turning back now, it was too late.
