Null chapter 1" past memory

((A null chapter is a memory of a character, and the reader can hide out the name, but the hashtags  I will be using to put the name. No image will be used to show who or how they look like as they will be shown later in the story, but as a null chapter happens, it also affects the story to move forward. So I hope you enjoyed it and can find out who this chapter is meant for.

Let's continue our story within the past now

"I remembered four years ago....the runes..the place where many struggle due to homelessness..running from war..and wanting to leave a law-free life. The runes were home to hundreds if not thousands of lives..living within the old world. Nearly a quarter of the United States  was runes of the old world as for the rest.. was the new world.."

"I opened my eyes to another day. I got up and yawned, then turned to my side to see someone who I was able to call dad.."

Echo "I see you finally  awakened  come I made us some food"

"I got up and walked over to a small fire and pot heating a pair of mres.." thanks ...

Echo: "No problem, my boy, heh...I shame still..someone as young as you being put into that war..you must have it rough being human.. not that there's a problem with it"

"I just nodded in agreement. A kid..no less than 13, was raised in war. I was taught at the age of 10 to weld a gun and shoot..but never at one exactly and ran away from a fight..and stayed here in the runes with an anthro..'

Echo lifts a mre from the pot and hands it to him and pops open his little bag processing to hand me a spoon as I grabbed it and opened my bag and smelled  the beans and rice cooked.. as I began to eat"

Echo: eat up. Well, we have a big day today. I hope you can walk far like me, heh.

"I groaned a bit like any child would with hard work.." do we have to go far There's a store  near us..why don't we -

"Echo cuts me off immediately." Never, we don't go in there...never I told you we mustn't try breaking in there... it's too risky..and dangerous.

I went quiet as I looked down and nodded" Yes, sir.

Echo "Good..now let's go.. "he lifts himself and holds his little bag close as he puts on his hat putting his horns  through first"

"I ate the rest of my food and put out the fire using a Moist cover as we heard the hiss of the fire dying out. We both walk out of the ruined tower and out into the trash-filled streets with cars growing life as they are all empty, doors open, and hoods propped open as the cars are aged and rusted.

"I walked following Echo close, looking around at the old buildings as I saw the store again... The parking lot was empty...doors  open..food just, they're good for the taking for any survivor.."

Echo grabs my arm, pulls me over gently, and keeps walking. I look up at him as his face looks worried..."

"Twenty minutes later, as we are in an old furniture store,  an echo puts a blindfold over my eyes, and I hear  objects around me being moved." ...

Echo, okay..now take it off, heh.

"I take off the blindfold as I see a nice, clean little fort made out of pillows, couches, and covers there's a small bag of chips on the ground within the fort next to a bottle of clean water.
