People don't really believe in fairytales, super powers, or gods and spirits. It's too unreal, right? People always want an explanation to everything so they have science to back it up. If science doesn't explain it then it's not real. Well…I don't believe or rather, I know that's not the case.
It's the 23rd century now but back then things have been…chaotic.
Some say it started with the cell called Cynthia, the first synthetic cell, created somewhere in the 21st century. The news of Cynthia spread like wild fire and several countries wanted to get their hands on it to help humanity and its problems but that wasn't the case.
You see, when people start playing with something they barely scratched the surface on, they can experience pro…no. More like…. I'll just say something really bad happened.
Year 2063. A new creature was created to act as a killing machine for World War 3 but, as expected, the creature got out of control and went loose destroying the lab it was created in by scientists. The creature also released hundreds of the other creature experiments. One thing that bugged the scientists was that somewhere in the development of creating the said 'killing machine' something unexplained happened.
The creature.
Similar to the human in every way except they had these strange, almost ancient looking, markings on different parts of their bodies. These markings where commonly placed around the area of the forehead, neck, or arm. We believe that these markings were branded on them by God to show that they were not like the rest of the living creatures on Earth.
The creatures were originally designed to have remarkable fighting/counterattack abilities, capability to survive in harsh weather conditions, and fast healing. In short, they were the ultimate war weapon. If you put this creature next to a human being you could say they were of the same, but they weren't. They were and were not humans at the same time. They could look like a little girl to a scary giant and/or ugly to drop dead gorgeous. Deceiving the enemy. That is what makes them so powerful and feared.
The creatures were called Daímonas.
They got their names after the killing spree they unleashed on the human beings after they escaped from the lab. This killing spree, as some people would say, was a good thing because they killed the enemy they were suppose to kill but then they started to kill the humans they were fighting for. Then the war started with the humans and Daímonas, 'The Human Race' war.
During the war the humans notice something unusual with the Daímonas. Whentheir eyes first change color they were able to do the unexplained and superpower thing I was talking about. They were able to do things, like control water or defy gravity but those abilities were like two trees in a forest.
There were many more abilities they had but each Daímonas seem to have only one. Then, when the markings began to glow on the Daímonas, they were able to channel their element into a weapon.
Their abilities couldn't be explained. The scientists were baffled by this display of their powers and many of the humans too.
These abilities seem to be a gift and curse because the Daímonas were, and still are, shunned for their unique abilities.
The war lasted for 4 years and the winners were the humans.
The humans were able to create this disease that killed off the Daímonas. They called it the 'Demon Disease'. Very uncreative, I say, but very fitting. The aftermath of the war was awful. Torn cities, clouded skies, people filled with despair with the loss of their loved ones, and so on but things got better in a couple of years. The Cynthia Cell was disposed of and places improved like never before. Cities turned green and the use of fossil fuels was no more. There were still conflicts between countries (no surprise) and things were like before the whole creation of the Daímonas.
Even though things were peaceful…ish there were a few survivors of the 'Demon Disease'. The 8 survivors were, of course the most powerful and more civilized. They were called the 'Survivors of Daímonas'
The Daímonas didn't look old and in fact they look like they were in their mid/late-20s.
Anyway, Daímonas are like humans except for their abilities, powers, ageing, and stigma. They wanted to co-exist with the humans. The humans, of course, objected to this idea but the Daímonas came with a compromise for the humans. They were to live beside with the humans peacefully allowing them to be treated like any other human but if the Daímonas used their powers to hurt the humans they were to be killed with no questions asked. The humans reluctantly approved of this.
The Daímonas were treated poorly because of what they did in the past but the Daímonas figured that they would hide their markings so they wouldn't be treated as they were at that time.The plan worked but they had to be careful not to use their powers for if they were discovered they had to move far away to start anew.
But one of the Daímonas turned bad and became a criminal using their abilities to do crimes. The Daímonas set free the hundreds locked up Daímonas from the lab they were locked up in after the 'Human Race War' and had them follow his path that he chosen.
To rid the world of humans.
Most were captured and killed but some were good enough to get away.
From what my sources say Manzo, the said Elder Daímonas, isthe one who stirred up the shaky truce between Daímonas and humans. Now the Daímonas are treated as enemies if they were discovered.
I guess this is where we are now. Daímonas are hard to come by these days.
Year 2228.
When Manzo started this mess someone had to help clean it up. My great-grandmother Yuki Tsukishiro, an Elder Daímonas, started an organization called 'Niveus' that consisted of Daímonas and powerful humans that could help defeat Manzo and his followers since now most humans don't stand a chance against Manzo's heir and his Daímonas followers.
I run a similar thing except most people might call us a vigilante group.
The 'Aνεμοδαρμένος'. (Pronounced: Anemodarménos)
And so begins my story…10 years into the future of the current story line.
