Description
The year is 2071.
It has been 50 years since Immortals came out of hiding. 50 years since the already bizarre world I came to know became even more insane then I could have ever thought it could be again. Long, long ago it was like this. Way back in the Middle Ages, when slaughters where a daily occurrence and magic filled the world. I had forgotten how brutal humanity was. Now I’ve been thrust back into the hell of human versus Immortal.
Except this time, humans were more advanced. After the Outing, a war broke out. When humans where relieved of their ignorance, they became scared. Stupid. Not only did they come after us, but started waging battle against each other. Protesters starting fighting for our rights across the world and like many freedom wars before it, some countries agreed and made new laws. Laws that others didn’t like. The war quickly blossomed throughout the world, humans blasting each other with gunfire and bombs until not much was left by the time the ‘60s came rolling back around.
Plants regained the land we took from them, clean water was hard to come by, and food was caught the old fashion way. Where old state lines used to be now were boundaries for different “combs” of Immortal clans. Humans usually wander in the in-between areas of unclaimed territory to keep out of trouble. I’m not sure how it is in other countries at this point; Phones went down in the 50’s, ten years after Internet. Now we rely on word of mouth from travelers.
New York City and the surrounding areas are home to the Vampire race; now the city truly never sleeps. California is claimed by the Walkers with their Queen Wadjet, the Egyptian snake woman that started the entire shifter race. Down in the south, Disney World has been overtaken by none other than the Fae folk. On the surface, they are the sweetest of the Immortals, but when you’re on their bad side? Fairies are ruthless. Sirens live along various coastlines, but stay content with themselves. They’re mostly enjoying Hawaii to themselves. I’ve been bouncing since the beginning. As one of the Originals, most don’t pay attention to me. Unless they’re needing a job done, that is.
You see, I’m an assassin. Being so old, I know just about every Immortal walking on this earth at this very moment. Well, as long as they haven’t been killed since I last heard of them. This gives me an advantage within my line of work. If I know everyone, everyone knows me; meaning everyone comes to me for work. Think of me as… a repo man. I come in and clean up people’s messes when they have debts with the higher ups.
And I'm damn good at what I do.
Yash, I'm still here. I know I haven't posted since July with my semi-introduction of Kayne, but I wanted to get everything ready. And now I think it is~<3
This is just a rough draft of the prologue, but it's definitely the direction I want to go in. So please, thoughts and opinions!
