The Pacific Realm

1

In a bleak overcast December, a woman was walking through the eerie streets of London. After ten minutes of walking, she entered a deserted café, sat on a table and ordered a cup of black coffee while waiting for someone.

The woman is Elisabeth Kuradel, a Japanese researcher of a secret group who researches about unimaginable beasts,creatures, all those weird things you can think of. This group is called Hydra.It was firstly founded in Japan by Elisabeth's great grandfather, Walter Kuradel. It all started when beasts from the Japanese folk tale appeared and disturbed the peace of Japanese citizens. Her great grandfather defeated the beasts and asked the Japanese president to form a group that will protect all the people around the world. Presidents from other countries agreed to this, thus Hydra was born. And if you're still wondering about this, demons, gods, dragons,fairies are actually real. Elisabeth's group, Hydra195 is responsible of protecting England and to research about all of these creatures to protect the people and not letting them know. Each Hydra group has a leader called Libra and a head warrior. A Libra's role is to maintain the balance of a country so there isn't too much 'goodness' or 'evilness'. It is known that only those who are smart, independent, strong and have good leadership skills are allowed to be Libras. The role of a warrior is to battle demons and stuff, but recently they are lacking researchers so most of the warriors do the researching. To be sure that no one reveals this secret to the normal world, everyone who works for Hydra will be injected with a drop of hydra blood – the one William Kuradel killed – which can kill the betrayer even if him or her haven't said it out as Hydras can look into people's minds . But good things come too; they can be stronger than an elephant, faster than a cheetah, swifter than a fox, better eyesight than an eagle and everything better than an animal and human. Some special people, like Libras, are gained with immortality which makes t hem harder to kill and die. But with a pure silver stake in the heart, they will lose their powers .Half an hour later, a man came crashing in to the café with a suitcase on his right hand and apologizing to Elisabeth for being late without catching his breath.

This man is Elisabeth's friend, James Godfrey. A famous researcher and head warrior of Hydra195.With his gifted looks, body and smartness, this helped him to ascend in many different ways, especially in fame. Whenever he enters Hydra195 headquarters, his presence will be swarmed by thousands or maybe millions of researchers and warriors. And majority of them are women. The girls are always trying to flirt with him and it gets on people's nerves as their flirting skills are so bad and its very cringe. After he settled down, the both friends started sharing about what they have researched to each other quietly. Elisabeth found out that there are werewolves walking around in London and James found that fairies are hypnotizing children to create chaos around certain parts of Manhattan. James also found that drakons are making havoc in smaller countries in England near the coasts.

"The fishermen have a hard time catching fish because the drakons are eating them and they have nothing to eat and sell." James sighed. "Recently there are a lot of problematic cases, and it's hard for KOB to catch up". KOB, or Knights of the Blood, is part of Hydra which is a group of warriors who demolish monsters that create chaos. When warriors of Hydra groups aren't able to defeat the monsters, Hydra calls the KOB to kill them; they will also keep a small piece of hair, flesh, scales, anywhere that are able to research more about the creature.

As they continue our secret conversation, James suddenly touched Elisabeth's hand which made her stop talking and he looked at her with a hard expression, she nodded. They were very aware that someone might overhear their conversation, so they left the café. But little did the both secretive people know, someone behind their table heard and recorded everything that they said. The stranger grinned evilly and left the café. 

Haha...It's my first book :) Many thanks to my friend who gave me the inspiration to write this story which actually was for my English comprehension test XD. Nevertheless, enjoy Part 1 and wait for Part 2 >^< !!!
