Before We Were Heroes

THE BREAKING OF THE WORLD

THE BREAKING OF THE WORLD

Apr 14, 2022


THE BREAKING OF THE WORLD

Mountains shook, the ground split open, and the sun burned all beneath as our shield fell. What remained of the waters rose and entered into the land as our world revolted after eons of damage. As the world ended, the Eranr; demons from the dark side of the moon, invaded subtly and released the airborne moon virus into our atmosphere.

On October eleven, 2076. Eleven days after this subtle invasion, the entire world fell asleep for exactly 18.2 seconds. Some woke unchanged, some more woke changed in ways they didn't yet know, others woke only to become warped monsters as their minds buckled under the weight of trans-dimensional forces, most did not wake at all.

In our darkest hour, the Rohiren came. More beautiful than we could comprehend, savage, and powerful enough to vanquish the Eranr invaders. They built safe zones for us to live in, protected from the dangers of our world. Natural and unnatural.

Outside the safe zones, the humans that refused the conditional help of the Rohiren tried to survive in a changing world. Those that became monsters were warped in mind body and soul, they were mad with hunger, not for flesh or food but for the power that dwelled in those that became changed in ways they didn't yet know. The monsters were called The Ardent.

Those that were changed in ways they didn't yet know soon began to display wondrous abilities that increased the odds of their survival in a new violent world. They were called the moon blessed, and the twelve distinct gifts that were recorded by the Primary prophetess Consuela as as follows;


A January is as swift as swift goes
A February flies without reason
A March is a friend to terra's simpler folk
An April always heals whatever ails are given

That May might pull your strings
This June can cause new bloom
A July cares not with which form it sings
There is always an August in the room

A September storm is ominous
Nothing is too hard for October to reason
Novembers are rare, mysterious, and dangerous
A December will be coming for you soon.


A brief history of the new world

This is interesting setup. The world itself sound creative and makes me intrigued - especially the month categories. This isn't entirely my jam in terms of genre but really cutie to see what you can extrapolate out of it!

Dear future me. If you are reading this, pay attention.

In your time, I, and all those that fought alongside me will be lauded as the heroes of humanity by some. Unrelenting Rebels by others. Because by our actions, we gave you the greatest gift anyone ever could; the hope that one day, we would win against our true enemy. But not everyone wanted humanity to have this hope.

As well know by now, hope does not keep our children safe or put food on the table. And that is where you come in, future me. We only gave them hope but You need to do what we couldn't and win against the Dark once and for all.

For you to do that, you need to know how we succeeded the first time, you need to know the story of what happened before we were heroes.

If you are alive to read this right now, then we succeeded somehow. This is how we did it.
