Chapter One: It's No Wonder the Earth Gave in to Humanity's Wrath
The world was beginning to crumble. Monsters wiped out and only few remain. Tragedy befell on humanity. The line between monsters and humans were broken and only few remain of both races were to try to save the earth. Evil has won at last and wreaked havoc, the remaining ones took refuge at random places and were scattered.
In Old Mill, families were broken. Zeke was all alone after earthquake. He found bodies scattered everywhere and all the monsters gone. He was trying to find his family if only their bodies so that he could put them to rest. Alas, the earthquake did as much, he found his family inside the house but no tear was shed. He was left to fend for himself. He buried the bodies and bid farewell. He regretted that he left them unguarded and he was at the city, hanging out with the others. Thus, he started the journey that he decided to take, to bring back peace, to help a person that were devastated and help them ease the pain and put back all that was left of the world.
Zeke left Old Mill after finding that he was the only possible survivor. He reached the city and found mayhem. People were scattered, fire was to be seen everywhere, monsters finally became visible and were chasing people. Some were mourning, crying over the dead bodies that they held so tight to their bodies. Then he saw a gruesome figure. It was riding a horse that had skeletal wings, as gruesome as the rider looked. The rider's face was that of a dead body but well preserved. It was laughing and destroying everything in its path. He didn't move, he be shocked by what he saw next, following the rider and the horse were big black dogs that had enormous figures. One by one, he could see the remaining people being devoured. The rider laughed and soon pointed at Zeke.
The dogs were quick with their master's order and ran to Zeke. Zeke gave a fast run and fell down when he tripped on one of the bodies. He was hopeless, and then all of a sudden, he came to find an axe that was being held by a dead man that tried to fend off the other dogs. He took hold of it and began bashing the dogs. He bashed their heads and an insane amount of blood splattered on him. He was crying when he finished killing them, with only few wounds. He looked at the rider and the rider reached out his hand.
"I mistook you for a human, tamer." He said in his hoarse voice.
"You tried to kill me." Zeke said. He took hold of the hand and felt his spine tingle.
"There are few tamers that survived the attack, unlike you; they died at another rider's hand." He explained. He called for another batch of dogs that came behind him.
"What are you?" Zeke asked.
"I'm a tortured soul that was left to wander in Limbo. The master saved me. He and his followers took me into their legion." The rider answered.
"A tortured soul that had its flesh come rotting back, how disgusting." Zeke said. "Who is this master of yours?" He asked.
"His name as his generals said was lord Ifrit. He has unmatchable powers that he decided to rid the world of its impurities." The rider explained.
"By impurities you mean innocent people?" Zeke asked.
"We all have our little sins. Even the young ones had to die, yes. The few that survived the earthquake were to be eaten or taken as prisoners. But on the other hand, if we find a tamer such as you, we take them to our generals; there they are given ranks, higher than ours." The Rider said.
"What is your name, we have been talking but we have not exchanged our names." Zeke asked.
"My name is Asgaroth; I am leader of the third party army that was sent out to seek out tamers." He addressed himself, giving a slight bow.
"Zeke, Ezekiel Zeke." He said. He gave him a slight nod.
"Well, Ezekiel, as a rider, I must bring you to the generals, there you will be tested and when proved, will take side with us to make a change in the world, and do you accept?" Asgaroth offered. He smiled. Zeke just accepted the offer.
