Prologue: War Prelude

It was the middle of last year when indications began to show that something was wrong in the town.

First came cattle, cows, horses, and farm life gradually disappeared under strange circumstances. The animals woke up with cuts and died sick within a few days.

Then there were the crops, the land, once fertile, became arid to such an extent that it could not have conceived any kind of fruit. Even the most persistent brush, once a plague, perished without a trace.

The months leading up to this were the hardest.

People were starving, and violence increased unprecedentedly. A short time later, people, like animals, began to get sick and die after presenting strange wounds on the body.

The city, once prosperous, now suffered an unprecedented crisis.

Within a few weeks the first generation of "Irregulars" would be born.
Babies immune to the plague.

While normal people suffered unusual injuries and died of fever and seizures, the children born in that month all survived. People believed it to be a miracle and an indication that difficult times would soon pass.

But the long-awaited deathless season never came.

However, very soon that became everyday life and people got used to seeing their peers die, and there was a time when they even accepted that hell as their new reality.

At the beginning of this year, babies born in November, now known as Irregulars, started talking at just 2 months old.
By March they were all walking.
People started to freak out.

There were some who said that they were cursed, and that only by taking them out of the city would people stop dying, while there were others who argued that they were destined to save humanity from the plague and that is why they needed them nearby.

But people kept dying, and despair leads people to make bad decisions.

When the king died of the plague, most of the people pressured the new regent to exile the Irregulars, and he agreed to calm the crowd.

The royal army apprehended the parents and families of Irregular children (those who had not died from the disease) and escorted them out of the city gates along with their children and any orphaned children born in November.

But this did not stop the deaths. On the contrary, as soon as the irregular children left the city, it collapsed due to the disease, which without the children around, seemed to hit the town harder than before, until nothing was left.

The irregular children and the people of the city that followed them settled in a neighboring kingdom, also a victim of the plague, where their legend would begin, marking a new era, where future generations would forever remember those special children , and the story they have to tell ...
