The Last Generation

Last Moment

Last Moment

Aug 04, 2021

Twelve thousand years ago... Earth was a place that we all lived once, a place that we all seek for peace. However, everything was not as what we all expected what might the future be. Earth was destroyed.. Some have theorized that it was caused by a radioactive ray and some said it was the work of God. The truth remains a mystery..

   Half of the human population were safely evacuated from the Earth meanwhile the other half was wiped out. There exists a team, they're called the "Light Adventurers". Their duty is to find a new life and a new planet where all living beings can coexist. Planets that were lived on by humans and other living creatures had recieved the same fate as Earth. That's why there are Light Adventurers. Fortunately, humans had found a place where all creatures can coexist, safely and peacefully. That planet is called "Garth", a planet that is rich with mana energy, mana spirit and others. As humans moved to this planet, humans had discovered that almost everyone is gifted. Humans can use supernatural abilities! In order to use the abilities, humans have to unlock their inner "Mana core", also know as "Myroh"by the planet's inhabitants (Garthians). This planet has a "Titan Barrier" also known as the " The Great Guardian spirit", it is a colossal sized stone statue that creates a massive barrier surrounding the three kingdoms in the Continent of Murkhan. The three kingdoms were known as Valvagard, Exyvor and lastly, Maroy. Nothing can and have passed that barrier. Well, that's what all of us were taught about by our teachers.

 First and foremost, I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Kazaki Arakishi, I'm the 26th generation from the Arakishi family. Just now, I am on my way back home from school and It is noon. As I was walking home, I saw Mr Fuguromo opened his stall so I went to greet him. He was the one who always takes care of me ever since my father stepped his foot out of the house. We had a great talk and after that he gave me a box of food in it just for free. I thanked him, I was a little bit shy because he's always caring enough to give out free food to me and my family.

  After meeting Mr Fuguromo, I continued my way back home carrying the box and suddenly I felt like someone was following me but I thought that maybe it was someone in the neighborhood who jogs around here, so I brushed off the feeling. I had finally arrived home, I placed the box on the floor so I can open the door. I was hoping for someone to greet but then suddenly I saw my little brother, Hasaki standing by the door then punched me in the stomach for no reason. I yelled in pain and walked to my room limping, I told my little brother to take the box inside. 

  I was in the bed resting and woke up to my little brother saying, "Oi Zack, come out and have a dinner already.  Mama has been waiting for you at the table". The pain hadn't fade away yet but I shrugged it off. I walked to the table and stood there for a second, "Ah, what a pleasing smell.. This smells familiar!", It was 'Sambal Udang', it is a Malaysian dish made of shrimp, stir fried in spicy sambal paste and served with rice. The smell filled up the house, the mouthwatering dish made me even more hungier. My Maya, or my mother brought a pot of rice and served it onto the plates. I sat down and I just couldn't wait to dig in. Before my hands could reach one of the prawns from the pot, Maya said, "Hey.. Hey... Zack, please at least put on a shirt before you eat". I understood and went to my room to put on a shirt.

   While eating, I striked a conversion with Maya to lighten up the atmosphere and make the dinner less boring. I asked Maya where did she learn to cook the dish and she answered,"About that.. I learned it from the internet of course!" while smiling at me, that's not what I expected. My guts are telling me that something is missing so I looked around the room. I saw my father's frame on the shelf and I felt a little bit down, I frowned trying to not think much about him then Maya hugged me from behind. I gasped. Maya said, "I know how you feel, I have the same feelings as you do. I also miss your dad ever since he left the house". I stood up and went to sink to do the dishes.

  All of the sudden, the lights went out and my little brother panicked. Maya asked me to watch over Hasaki while she goes to switch on the main switchback. After she switched on the lights, there was a man in a black robe holding a katana standing in front of us waiting to make a move. I couldn't see his face because I was terrified and so is Hasaki. When Maya came back she didn't make a noise as she felt some other mana energy, it was odd to see because no one in this family had unlocked their Myroh except for our mama. Maya tried to find the perfect opportunity to use her power against the man but as for nobody's expectation, the man suddenly vanished into the thin air and then Maya rushed to us. The following story is not what anyone would expect would happen..

 Maya was stabbed by a katana. After she had realised she was stabbed, tears start running down her cheeks and she was coughing blood. The fear in her eyes is someting I can never forget. The man was using "stealth" power. Hasaki and I were terrified, we couldn't move or think straight. Only looking at Maya panicking not knowing what to do. Maya used her last mana and energy to save us. She ordered us to "RUN, bring Hasaki and get away from here. Survive, my children..". That was her last words and her body dropped down to the floor. I still couldn't move and I broke down slowly to my knees. I could feel my heart was shattering, the cracks in my glass heart and my blurry vision from tears overflowing. 

 The assassin sprinted toward us as we were trying to escape from that man. He won't let us escape dead or alive. I still don't know what was the man's objective and why did he hunt for us or killed Maya. I have so many questions in my head. Morever, I'm still shocked over mama's death. As I stumble ahead accepting my fate, there a sudden ramming was heard *BAM* *BAM* *BAM*! Our wall got destroyed. I couldn't see who and what was ramming the wall because of the thick dust and debris but someone had grabbed me by my hands and helped me escape.

 Afterwards, I fainted without knowing who saved us..
