Zaria Dove Shield
Then we rhymed together, the weight of the world seemed to lift just a little. “The clouds are dark, The storm's quite stark.It's then you see, Night will be.But skies will clear, Chirps you'll hear.Flowers will bloom, Spring will resumes.The sun will glow, Joy will grow.The greatest year, Without a fear.When night does fall, Light covers all.”Finally, I caught sight of him gesturing next to me. I quickly glanced to my left and noticed a tiny sapling sprouting amidst the flowing river of my blood."Dad, is that a sapling?" I exclaimed, my eyes widening in surprise. I turned my head back to him, only to see his image fading away like ashes in the wind.Glancing to my right, I noticed the city, where a small group of our army was being pressurized by the army of the creepers.They were retreating and fighting simultaneously, and it seemed like they were on the verge of losing.Gripping the sword's handle tightly, I pulled it out of my body, feeling the burning sensation
Zaria Dove Aftermath
I can't even begin to express how grateful I am!" Tears welled up in his eyes. Despite the relief, my heart still felt heavy. We had lost so many lives, and I couldn't shake off the guilt of not being able to save Nina. Shifting my focus back to the city and its current state, Jackallion had disappeared after the battle. I know this because we discovered countless bodies, but there was no trace of him, his mask, or whatever he was wearing. The drill machine in the center of the city continued to operate relentlessly, causing damage to nearby houses and trapping unsuspecting soldiers and civilians injuring and killing few in the process. Four hook-like appendages emerged from the machine, firmly anchoring it to the ground. Our attempts to shoot it down proved futile as our fires only bounced off. The city was unrecognizable from its former self, but thankfully, we had managed to relocate the citizens to a safer location. Veronica rushed towards us after a few minutes, whispering
Zaria Dove Snake in The Sleeve
It was like an underground tunnel, well-built and secure, but it felt as if a storm had passed through it. The right path of the tunnel was destroyed, but the left path led us to a control room with another door inside. Inside the control room, the control panel had been sabotaged. And there were two lifeless bodies of soldiers sitting in front of that panel. "Do you think the creepers did this?" Kai asked. "Definitely, but there's someone working with them!" I replied, staring at the destroyed cameras in the corners, with no data stored in the computers. “How can you be so sure?” He asked. I raised my eyebrows while my gaze stuck on the camera “Creepers don’t give a damn about who’s watching them.” "Who could it be?" Kai muttered, turning towards the door. "Kai, can I ask you something?" I turned to him and he nodded. "How did the creepers come into existence?" I asked. "They were created by Asher and William. They came to be after a failed experiment!" He answered confiden
Zaria Dove A New Problem
"I need two teams of experts to begin preparations for the burial of the deceased. Get ready for a small memorial service," I instructed. “We can’t leave our dead like that!” "But... but... what about the city?" Caleb inquired. "We may have to consider starting anew, somewhere else," I replied, my gaze falling downward. A soldier spoke up, "Are you suggesting that we abandon our home?" "Come here," I beckoned him over. As he approached, I led him to the corner of the Whisper's Oasis. "Take a look," I pointed towards the city, now reduced to ruins. "The power station has been destroyed, the humidity is increasing, and who knows for what purpose creepers enter the city, maybe they planted bombs everywhere, or maybe they have spreaded all across the city spreading virus everywhere. What then? More suffering? Sickness? Pain? More death? And let's not forget, even if you manage to survive all of that..." I paused, allowing the weight of my words to sink in. "One day, you could be sl
Zaria Dove Rain
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, feeling a rush of emotions overwhelm me. Tears streamed down my face, a mixture of sadness, relief, and guilt. Kai rushed over to me, sensing my distress. I let out a cry, "They snatched my son from me and I can understand whether to mourn his death or the fact that I was responsible the one who killed him." As I wiped away my tears, Kai spoke softly, "Tell me, what else is troubling you?" "She has forgiven me for killing Nina!, but I can't bring myself to accept that forgiveness." I believed I didn't deserve it. Kai embraced me, "You are punishing yourself unnecessarily. What happened was not your fault and you didn't had any intention to kill them! She did a right thing forgiving you, and so should you!" He embrace me. "I've brought nothing but pure suffering for them, they'd been better off without me." I blamed myself for the destruction that had befallen the city. But Kai urged "Look closely at the people's faces, see the joy and won
Zaria Dove Twisted Valley
"I am sorry!" I apologized once more in the normal volume, but she continued to stare at me, prompting me to whisper, "Alright, alright!" "What's going on here?" I whispered this time. "This has been the situation here for as long as I can remember," she remarked, referring to the city. "I'm sorry," she added, "but if I hadn't instructed you to remain silent, we would all be in trouble." She grabbed a glass and poured water into it, while the glass tilted. Confused, I gazed at her. "If I hadn't done it this way, it would have made noise," she explained. "What exactly are you all afraid of? Have the creepers invaded this place?" I inquired. "Creepers?" She looked at me puzzled. "Yes, those pale-skinned creatures," I clarified. "No, we've been eliminating them for as long as we can remember. That's not what we fear," she responded. "Then what is it that you fear?" I insisted to know, just as we heard a woman calling out for someone. "Angus?" she called out, her voice filled w
Zaria Dove The Lost Group
"The immortals you mentioned must have come about much later.When Asher successfully turned us into immortals and immune beings, he had already realized William's true intentions. When he sent us away, he claimed that we had died," she revealed."But how did you end up here?" I inquired. "And why didn't you turn out to be as violent as the creepers and the immortals?""We weren't forcefully revived like the others. We were already alive, but we were a group of sick individuals. As for your first question, there was a bus full of us.We were ambushed during our journey, and our bus tumbled down the mountainside, leaving us with severe injuries.A kind woman offered us refuge in this place.Time went by, and we discovered that there were individuals hired to kill us.The mastermind behind this plot remains unknown to us.Despite the circumstances, we accepted the new life here, situated at the crossroads of two cities.When the nuclear disaster struck, this area wasn't affected directl
Zaria Dove Mother Matriarch
We were aware that this disturbing vision was produced by our own minds, a result of the strange frequency released through her scream, which made it challenging to maintain focus.Once I regained my vision, I surveyed my surroundings and noticed the woman standing beside a pile of lifeless bodies."Do you know where Angus is?" she inquired, her gaze fixed upon me.Her eyes were filled with tears, causing my heart to be overwhelmed with sorrow. "He was playing right there!" She pointed toward the entrance of the caves."I prepared a salad for him, but he didn't like it. I scolded him, and he became upset!Please, find him and let him know that I will roast a turkey for him!" She sat down and pleaded with her hands clasped together."Please, I beg you, find him and tell him that I will never cook salad again." She wiped away her tears and scanned the area, shouting at the top of her lungs, "Angus! Please return, I promise there will be no more salad!" Her cries weighed heavily on our h

Crazy Theory
Ella was lying on the floor in the corner of the room, her face contorted in pain, her hands gripping the sides of the sheet under her. Her breaths came in labored gasps, her body trembling with the effort. Jennifer and a few others stood around her, their faces tight with worry. The air was thick with tension, the sound of Ella’s cries filling the space.Kai rushed to her side, dropping to his knees beside her. He took her hand in his, his heart breaking at the sight of her in so much pain. “I’m here, Ella. I’m right here,” he whispered, his voice thick with emotion.Ella turned her head toward him, her eyes glistening with tears. “Kai,” she gasped, her voice weak but filled with relief. “I…I thought you wouldn’t make it.”“I’m here, love,” he reassured her, squeezing her hand. “I’m not going anywhere.”Jennifer moved closer, her expression serious. “She’s in active labor, Kai. The baby is coming, and we don’t have much time.”Kai nodded, his mind spinning as he tried to focus. He co
What no one expected
As Jennifer struggled to reach Enzo, the tension was visible. When she finally succeeded in connecting with me, her voice brimmed with a mix of joy and nervous energy. “We’re finally connected to the system!” she exclaimed, her excitement spilling through the static of our communication line.A grin spread across my face, and I turned to Kai, who immediately understood what had happened without needing an explanation. My expression said it all.“Enzo?” I called out, trying to connect with him directly. The line was dead silent. My smile vanished as quickly as it had spread, and an uneasy weight settled in my chest. My pulse quickened, each beat echoing in my ears as I glanced nervously at Kai. “He’ll be alright,” he reassured me, his voice steady but strained. Before either of us could take action, a deep, echoing hum filled the air, overpowering even the sound of our racing hearts. The noise was overwhelming, drawing our attention toward the city gates. With the restored power, the
Wrecking Paradise
He pressed himself against the wall, trying to steady his breathing. The ground beneath him groaned, a sharp reminder of the fragile state of the entire building. He couldn’t afford to stop now—not when so much was at stake.Pushing forward, Enzo reached a junction where the stairs split into multiple paths. Consulting his mental map of the city’s layout, he chose the left corridor, knowing it led directly to the control room.As he advanced, the air grew colder, and the flickering lights overhead cast dark shadows.Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through his side. Enzo stumbled, clutching his rib as he gasped for breath. He had hit a loose beam that swung down unexpectedly, narrowly missing his head but cutting through his torso.Blood trickled from a small cut, staining his shirt. Ignoring the pain, he pressed on, his strong will fueling his determination.The corridor opened into a vast, open space—the control room. The room was a chaotic mess of shattered consoles, broken screens, and
A Chance of Survival
“No, we can’t retreat!” I shot back, my mind racing. “If we fall back now, we’ll just be leading them to the survivors! Who knows what these things are capable of if they breach the bunker?”The immortal army was unstoppable, their unsettling faces and wide-open mouths still screaming as they marched forward. The situation was dire, and every second felt like we were inching closer to doom. Then, an idea struck me. “We’ll lead them somewhere else instead! Somewhere they won’t follow the others!” Without waiting for a response, I took off running toward the right, motioning for the others to follow.“There are plenty of ruined buildings to the east,” Kai called after me, sprinting to catch up. “We can find cover there, maybe even set a trap!”"Exactly! We just need to buy the rest of the team some time to regroup and bring the right equipment,” I agreed as we bolted toward the Ferric Burg, a place that had once been a bustling district but was now reduced to crumbling ruins after the a
Caught in the Tide
I yelled for everyone to move. "Run!" I shouted, leading the charge as we turned and sprinted away from the impending disaster. But we were too close. The ground shook violently beneath us, the force of the lab’s landing sending a powerful jolt through the battlefield. The shockwave hit us hard, like a giant hand swatting us aside. We flew, bodies tossed into the air like ragdolls, crashing to the ground in a brutal cascade.I groaned, feeling the sharp sting of pain from the fall. My vision blurred for a moment as I pushed myself up, dirt and debris filling the air around me. Many of us survived the impact, but not everyone was so lucky. As I looked around, the grim reality hit me. The number of those who fell, the martyrs—was far greater than the survivors.I pushed myself up from the debris, my body aching as I limped up to my feet. Dust and rubble filled the air, and the sight before me was nothing short of devastating. Those who hadn’t made it halfway to the bunker were crushed,
A Twisted Anomaly
The battlefield was chaos. Screams, explosions, and the endless rain of arrows and bullets filled the air. Bodies fell, and for every enemy I took down, two more seemed to replace them.As soon as Kai entered the control room, Veronica—rushing toward Kai. Her face was pale, eyes wide with panic, clearly overwhelmed by the chaos. She knelt beside him, but he waved her off, his voice hoarse but steady. "I'm not important right now! Get the guns in position, switch their directions, now!"He delivered my message without caring for his own condition.He gripped her shoulders firmly, but not harshly, guiding her to sit down on the seat. His eyes were intense, but his voice softened as he leaned in close, whispering in her ear. "I know this is overwhelming, but you’ve got this. You can do this."Veronica’s hands trembled as she began to adjust the machine gun controls, rotating the turrets to face the incoming enemy forces. It wasn't the first time she was facing a situation of war, but see
An Unseen Threat
"This thing has a heartbeat!" she exclaimed, her voice trembling with unease, her eyes fixed on the screen.I felt my stomach knot, the tension rising with every second. "What if it’s a human? Someone innocent?" My voice cracked, panic creeping into my words."No!" she snapped, her gaze darting between readings. "The heartbeat is… off. Abnormal. It's clocking in at 250 beats per minute. No human, even with a severe condition, could sustain that while moving this fast. This... this is something beyond what we’re ready for." Her fingers hovered over the screen, absorbing more data.Then she froze, her eyes widening. "It’s six feet tall, and only an inch from the barrier!" Her voice wavered. "It... it looks like a plane."I leaned closer, trying to make sense of the silhouette on the display. "A plane? But at that size? Who the hell would build a plane so small?" The shape on the screen did resemble an aircraft, but it was no larger than a child’s toy. Something was very, very wrong.Pan
No Time to Grief
“No, Zaria! It all happened right before our eyes,” Kai said, his voice thick with disbelief. The weight of the moment pulled us together in a tight group hug, but the shock left me frozen. How could this be real? Why would anyone kill Bella? She wouldn’t hurt a soul."No..." I whispered, the denial clawing at my throat. "This can't be happening!" My voice broke into a yell. "How could they kill her? How could—" But my words faded, leaving me breathless, my mind spinning as if the very air had been stolen from me.I pulled away from them, my body trembling. “Prepare! Prepare for battle. We’re going to make him pay!” I demanded, wiping my tear-streaked face with the back of my hand. My rage boosting my strength with every second. I nodded, more to myself than anyone else, as the reality of the situation sank in.“Zaria!” Ella’s voice was soft, her steps cautious as she approached, concern evident on her face. But I reached out first, gripping her shoulders, forcing her to look into my
A new discovery
I dropped everything I was doing and bolted after her, my heart racing. Something had to be wrong. Jennifer was tough, not the type to panic easily. I followed her down the winding path to the bunker, the cool, damp air filling my lungs. As we reached the entrance, a crowd of people had gathered, making a path for me to pass through.“Zaria!” A familiar voice rang out. My dad. He stood there, cleaned up and looking far better than the last time I’d seen him, though his face was still covered with worry. “Thank goodness you’re alright,” he said, pulling me into a quick embrace before stepping aside to let Jennifer lead me deeper inside.“This way,” Jennifer urged, her voice low as she guided me toward a dimly lit corner of the bunker. She stopped in front of a large, rusted wheel embedded in the circular wall—a giant mechanism that looked like it belonged to an old bank vault.“I don’t think Veronica knows anything about this,” Jennifer whispered, her gaze fixed on the wheel. “But it’s
