Wyvern
Chapter 1: all good stories must begin.
My name is Goerno Wyvern. I am 21, have black hair, brown eyes, and, until I was sixteen, a normal everyday guy. or so I thought. I tell you this story now, because someone needs to know. know how the world fell into this hell driven shit hole named New Gaia.
It started innocently enough. I was in my youth, age sixteen. I had the good things of life. A good family; a mother and a father.gone. and a sister, around the age 7 at the time, now, a young woman of 12. a dog named Mongrel, who is who knows where now.
I had awoken at the sound of my silent alarm at about 5:00. The sun was barely peeking on this crisp fall day, and I silently got outta bed, careful not to stir Mongrel.
It was routine. I got outta bed and took my attic/room key from my bedside table, avoided the creaky floorboard, tripped over Mongrel, locked my door, went to my closet, and clicked it's light on. I grabbed my school uniform, a blue long sleeve shirt with matching dress pants and a white tie. Instead of putting them on over my boxers, I instead put them in my backpack, which leaned against the sidewall of the closet. I then took down my martial arts suit, a light yellow ki (natural color, not because of its stains) with a black tier for my waist, and attached my Kitana's hoist to my waist.
You may have been wondering why any teen in their right mind would get up an hour earlier than most teens, and this is the answer. I was studying Jijutsuan, a harsh form of martial arts that only few have mastered.
I paced over to the window and slid it open. I looked down the three floors of which I was about to jump. I realize it meant nothing to me, but when I started my practices, it took me a whole minute to build up the nerve to jump.
When I did hit the ground, I stood up instantly. I couldn't quite put my finger on it at the time, but I knew something was going down. I looked through the deserted streets, but could see nothing out of the ordinary. I looked up at the fading stars and only one was left. I figured it was Venus, the 'Morning star' of the Earth. or so I thought. I thought nothing of it and continued to a meadow in the Forbade Forest (* means editors note, now stated as EN from now on) *(EN: I know the name not that original, but what else would I call it? Wrong woods, jaunting jungle? Whatever)
A-Hem! AS I WAS SAYING before being rudely interrupted by the creator of this sorry piece of literature, I continued to that particular meadow in the terribly named woods.
It was a hidden place on a cliff face near Tokyo actually. The cliff had become so overgrown, though, it was like trying to walk through a jungle of metal rods. I had finally come to its hiding place, a hole in a rock I had found on of my adventures when I was about 7. It was an odd place, full of trees that totally covered the sky. I could tell there had been a fire here at least once in its existence for the plant life I found. There was also a small creek near the side, usually flowing with clear water, but this time of year, it was frozen over. I couldn't figure it out, but it was as if this place was made for this training. It bounced with jijutsuinian vibes. I started my basic training, with meditation, for ten minutes. After meditating and then losing the vast knowledge I had achieved by doing so, I found a descent tree to study on. I took the Jijutsuan basic ready position, and laid my onslaught. It was an hour before I realized it was getting warm, and I found myself to be perspiring profoundly. I took a drink of water from the bottle I had brought in my backpack.
I was onto the middle of the bottle when it hit me. I wasn't just warm and perspiring from the training. I was HOT! The weather had become extremely hot, in fact, that it instantly evaporated the stream! To this day I guess I only survived because of the training, which helps protect against heat, and the canopy of trees that repelled the rays.
The explosion was deafening. I later learned impact was actually continents away, in the Atlantic Ocean. When I had awoken because I had been knocked unconscious, the whole forest was ablaze. I quickly grabbed my shit, and bolted then and there. I had of course practiced magic because that's another part of training in Jijutsuan, however, my Aqua technique wouldn't clear a forest fire.
I ran until I reached the end of the forest and stopped, horror struck at what I had witnessed.
