A Seal

Prologue

<<Before starting, I want to put a "crude language warning" and a "gore warning" as well. Even if some chapters may not depict any of these, other chapters will. Reader discretion is advised>>

"A mere worm will never comprehend the infinite sky..." T.I.

Everything is so subtle now, so faint, so gray. Its been years, maybe decades, and everyone is still as hopeless as the first day. Its surprising on how a near-apocalypse takes a toll on morale. On both ways. Morale can shift easily by events or actions. Its bipolar, Gwen always says. She might be right there. Its extremely fragile, delicate. Yet it can rebuild itself easily. Not hope, though. Its tough and persistent but once it breaks it will never come back...

Im pretty sure no one remembers when it happened. But everyone knows what happened. The air was still as if time itself stopped, to take a moment for the dead. Gwen told me she heard an explosion, when we were children she heard a roar. We should've taken that as a warning that the beast was coming. A towering dragon standing over the corpse of humanity. The dead had already out numbered the living. You can just imagine the catastrophe of what happened next. I can. I wasn't there, I don't remember anything after Gwen's roar. Neither did Gwen either. But people did. Almost everyone, almost too vividly. And the bloodshed stained man's heart and resorted to fear and cruelty. It was only natural, hope was too far gone.

People here say 'change will come' like a prophecy. Its pathetic. I wont wait for change 'to come'. I want to grab change by the wrists and bring it with me.
