God Eater: Mankind's Power

SKY

Hello. My name is Kyoka Furuki and this is how I came to be chosen as a God Eater.

I was young, too young to be left alone in the place where there monsters that could eat you at every corners out there in fact. But the earliest memories I have is that of emptiness, and then there I was with people fighting, arguing to people in uniforms, guns, and armed with weapons. I was so afraid that time, with screams of fear, anger, and agony all cooped up at a single place. It hurts my ears and it reminds me of roars of monsters. When I thought of that, I was confused. Why did I remember that? What was that roar? I don't remember... I don't remember. I don't remember! Why don't I remember?... I was questioning why I was in a loud place in the first place. But I can't remember. I think why are there people running and banging at the walls. But I don't remember.

'Think! Think! What do you remember!? You should at least remember something!?' Were my thoughts before I found myself on the floor. I felt pain on my head. I think I hit head-first, and these bruises aren't helping either.
"Ky..Kyo.... Kyo..-ka..?" I muttered under my breath before a kick knocked the wind out of me. These people didn't notice they are stepping and kicking a small child? Or maybe they just want to get away and rush to the people with uniforms with also what looks like piles and stacks white bandages.

I hated the noise. I wanted to get away. At the same time I was curious why people are rushing in like that. Was there something good in there? Does it protect them? Well the giant walls and gates made up the picture so I guess it does. That was what was on my, what I think, 10 year old mind. The walls protect, the people wanted protection, but from what? What was it that made everyone want to hide and be safe from?

And then I heard it, a loud roar fron a distance. Heard by everyone that made them panic and try to push through the guards. But they failed when the people in uniforms closed off the gates with what seems to be heavy-duty metal. Screams of terror were echoed everyone, but I was already hiding under rocks through the small opening that only a very small 10-year old like me can fit through.

The earth rumbled, the rocks shook, everybody screamed as loud roars joined in. Footsteps caused the ground to shake and was getting closer to the people. All I could do as a 10-year old was watch through the cracks as what seems like beasts approached the group and let out roars before coming in and pounced on the unfortunate victims only with it's large mouth that has a ruby tongue and large pearly teeth like a dinosaur.

Huh? What's a dinosaur? It must be scary. As a child, I seemed strangely calm to see blood an gore presented infront of my eyes. But I was a child with little to almost no memory. But that still can't be normal, right? Sigh, so many 'buts' here and there.

The monsters looked like they had finished since they stopped eating the corpses of the humans they slaughtered. Limbs with the same colored markings that looked like the same width of the white-tape thingies the people in uniform had, were dangling from their mouths before they slurped it up like noodles. Again? What are noodles?

All of the monsters were covered in blood but I could make out beige fur from their humped-backs. White skin coupled with greys were their colored pattern. Every single one the same appearance. They do not have arms but they have large feet that could pin down and crush a full grown man without even trying. And then I saw their tails. I stared at the wide and strong tails with spikes with the sharpness that could slice flesh just by lightly scratching the surface. And that's saying something. But the most noticable fact is that their tails are in a shape or have the mark of an inhumane face. 'Looks like an ogre... But what's an ogre?' I decided to stop questioning myself for now.
