Chapter 1

Kai…

That was my name

I don't know if it's my first or my last. It is practically all I remember as a child. I don't remember my parents. Do I even have any? I was so young I didn't know who I was or where to go.

Till I met him

He raised me all on his own. His name was Oz.

He was my teacher, my mentor

My friend…

He taught me everything I know. From learning how to read to learning how to fight. Everything I know now is because of him. He wanted me to be strong so that I can be strong for others. To protect those I wish to protect. From the grimm, they are evil monsters driven by fear killing all those they see.

They were strong but Oz trained me to be stronger. He also taught me how to use my power, my semblance. Evolution as he and I call it, it's simple but yet very very powerful. I evolve and adapt faster than a normal human except for aging. No matter what, I'll always get stronger, faster, and tougher. I'll adapt to anything thrown at me.

I'll always evolve

No matter what

It sounds great talking about it but realizing what that means. I sometimes ask myself why did i receive this power. I can't turn it off, it probably evolved past that. I could've handled this a lot better before.

Before? Before what you might be asking yourself.

I can't even answer that. Because I don't know what happened. The last thing I remember is that it was cold and snowing. Snowing a little too hard on that day. The village was scared and feared the worst. And you know what's drawn to their fear? Grimm, so even though the weather was harsh they didn't care. They still came for us, and Oz and I are the only fighters our village had.

So we did what we were trained to do. Protect our village and kill the grimm. Even if the weather wasn't on our side we persisted. But the situation kept getting worse. It was getting cold and hard to see. And the horde never ended.

Then darkness

I don't know what happened

To Oz, the village

Or me…

First it was dark and cold. Then at some point it stopped being cold and then it wasn't dark anymore. My body must've evolved to protect me from the cold and so I could see in the dark. But even so I saw nothing. I couldn't move as if my body was frozen. I don't know how long it's been or what day it is.

Or even if I'm still alive. I could still hear my heartbeat.

Wait, I can hear my own heartbeat? Is that normal?

That doesn't matter

It will never matter. Because I'm not going anywhere.

I'll be here for the rest o-

*Crack*
