Slithered From Eden

Once upon a time, there was a world filled with people, who lived their lives in comfort and convenience. When they needed to eat quickly, they could get in their car from their comfortable homes and go to a place called a fast food restaurant and order food. Even the poorest could have plumbing in their homes and they would have running water to shower in, use the bathroom, and drink from.
Their children knew nothing of work, but were able to play, with small objects they called toys. They had electronic devices they used for entertainment. They felt like their lives were over when their little phones were broken or lost. They knew nothing of true despair. Their comfort and convenience kept them blind from the truth.
The truth that there was a war going on in the Underworld. One that was being fought for over a millennium. The rulers of the Underworld wanted control of the world so they created creatures that could shift and others that could drain blood. The gods would not allow that to happen, so they created an advanced race of humans meant to hunt and destroy these creatures. They were created to be wise beautiful hunters, taking attributes of the goddesses.
For a time, these hunters were successful at keeping the monsters of the underworld subdued, but something happened. That something still a mystery, but the hunters lost. The world that the humans knew was over. A world I've never known. I was born after the chaos. I was born to hunters who retreated in defeat. Hiding our people from the creatures that sought our destruction.
