We were what was left after the fire. The ashes. Scattered around, lost, vulnerable. We were the last of our kind... sadly. There weren't many of us left either. We were once a city of thousands... now there was only 77 of us left. 42 of us headed north, to look for high ground and the other 35 headed east. We vowed to see each other again soon, but soon turned into way too many years to handle. The other group was lead by an immortal man named J.Seph and co leaded by a skin changing woman called Raina.

My group was also lead by an immortal man, but he was called T.O.P and a young girl named Solji, who was faster than the speed of light, was the co leader. J.Seph and T.O.P were the only immortals in the city. There were a lot of people who had the same gifts but those two were the only ones with that one.

T.O.P had taken on board a lot of the younger ones, he had been around for over a thousand years and had a lot of knowledge up in his noggin. He only looked as if he was in his twenties though, he didn't look as ancient as he really was.

We eventually found ourselves standing at the foot of a large cliff, that was where we would be for the next fifteen years. A girl named Wendy, who had telekinesis, organised rocks into a suitable shelter for us. Over time it became more homely. We dug into the cliff itself and made rooms and labyrinths for us to hide in. We found local sheep and took their wool to make new clothes and carpets, and then took their meat for food. We had become quite a civilized household, we had three meals a day, at the same time every day, we had our little household deeds and chores to do and we washed every day. We used to wash in an underground lake that we found deep inside the cliff, but one of the boys found a way to dig a plumbing system. We had a "hunting rota" which we used every morning. We all knew each others skills, and we knew when we were going to eat well depending on who's turn it was. For instance:

Jungkook+V+Crossbow+Hunting=Good meal.

J-Hope+Jimin+Crossbow+Hunting=Go Hungry

V was the best shooter, he could see anything from miles away- this was because he could see everything.

I almost forgot to introduce myself! My name is Mina, my gift only comes in handy at certain times. I could see Auras, you see and I could tell everything about a person depending on their aura.

This bliss and tranquility that we had been submerged in all these years wouldn't be around for much longer, fifteen years, we had been living in the rocks, all of us were adults now and we didn't need T.O.P's guidance any more. We all respected him, but we wanted to leave and see what was out there. But when we did... We wished that we hadn't.
