1 The beginning of the Apocalypse

Driving on the road were three yellow school buses filled with kids.

The buses suddenly stopped in front of a three story building with the word "orphanage" at the top of the Gate.

A few kids came out of school buses holding bags which seemed to be stuffed and a few kids came out to hug those kids who had bags with them.

*vooum* *vooum* *vooum*

Just as the kids were hugging each other the ground below the orphanage and a few hundred meters behind the building turned black as if someone wanted shade and blocked out the sun from every angle.

*Boom*

Suddenly the ground shook and cracked, a giant building was appearing from the ground as if resurfacing like an undead.

The orphanage tilted backwards as if only the front part was being picked upwards.

*Boom!!!*

Shockwaves were sent in every direction, the kids outside were sent crushing towards the buses and the buses were pushed back a few inches.

Before the dust and debris could settle Ethen drop his bag and began to run towards the orphanage.

Ignoring the uneven ground that was hard to walk on as much as he ignored the pain Ethan's mind was in a rush .

Following the familiar path in his mind on the unfamiliar path Ethan saw an unfamiliar wall that looked to have been made of white fish scales.

Picking a direction randomly Ethan didn't even stop and just turned right running along the wall after a few minutes of running, on his left he saw giant doors made of purple wood with golden dragon seemingly embroidered on the door.

Making his way through the shattered door Ethan suddenly heard screaming.

Looking at the scene in front of him Ethan saw two men impaled on a spear one was lying on the ground and the other one seemed to only have his upper body but his arm was still reaching out to the other one.

The one person one the ground screaming was wearing a red gown with pale looking skin as if he never had never seen daylight and the other person had lifeless eyes as if he couldn't think and his skin was green.

"AHHHHH ..rl..help me"The screaming person suddenly looked at Ethan

"English-language"thought Ethan as he walked towards the two lovers who were struck by cupid.

" give me"The man in red pointed his hand at a ring that was out of his reach.

Still drunk on adrenalin Ethan gave it to him of which Ethan saw a scean that shocked him.

The man took a sword out of thin air and swung his sword beheading the already dead looking person.

*Thud*

"listen boy... the master is the only one who can save us but she needs reinforcement right now *cough* she is currently in the underground pagoda "said the man as he coughed up black blood

"take this its the best I've got" taking out a sword that was black with a grey-ish hue he gave it to Ethan along with his weird ring.

"Go and help the master and don't let these things bit you not even a nibble" said the man as he struggled to get up.

The man slowly made his way towards one of those things that were getting up "they are strong even the normal ones and the stonger one's are even fast so watch out"

"why don't you come with me"asked Ethan

"I've been bitten so my journey ends here"said the man as he stabbed himself in his chest as he bled and he also took out a red bead that looked like it was on fire and ate it.

"I suggest you run now the pagoda is that way"said the man as his skin suddenly glowed red as veins appeared on his skin.

Running towards the direction the man pointed towards Ethan suddenly heard an explosion that sent him rolling forward like crazy.

After a minute of running Ethan saw the an opening on the ceiling that was square and stretched for hundreds of metre.

Looking at the destroyed building of the orphanage Ethan notice that it was only the top part portion that was left and the bottom portion seemed to have fallen bellow a hole.

Searching through the building Ethan found dead bodies belonging to the orphans littered on the ground but it seemed as if he was looking for something or someone else.

Looking in the hole Ethan saw a red pagonda and the the bottom he saw the missing portion of the orphanage and were both surrounded by complete darkness.

Jumping onto the pagoda that almost stretched out of the hole, Ethan made his way on the outside of the pagoda layer by layer.

"The stage is set, we will end it here although were not all here we have her daughter here-" just as Ethan landed on the ground he interrupted two women speaking to each other.

Turning around Ethan saw a woman wearing a red gown.... wait it was dyed stark red with her blood, but the surprising thing was that she had no open wounds on her but had a flawless skin, her hair seemed to be dancing in the air as if it were made of fire, she was struggling to stand up

The women who was talking was also a beauty with small prepotion and also two pigtails but she looked like a strong warrior.

Both women turned too stare at Ethan seemingly in a daze and speechless "your..." both of them murmured

Ethan not Carring about them walked towards the middle were a girl was sleeping.

"ava ava wake up..." A masculine voice came out of Ethans mouth,the sleeping girl didn't even flinch.

The two women shivered " his voice it sound like his ..." they both murmured

"what's your name" Ethan was interrupted by the women with pigtails that were green mixed with black.

Ethan picked up the sleeping girl and turned around to leave but after a few steps he couldn't move his body.

"I asked you a question" said the woman with pigtails as Ethan's body turned around involuntary

"Ethan..." said Ethan as his mind raced

Suddenly Ethan's shirt started moving up on it's own, revealing his birth mark that started from his nether region and travelled on his abs to his chest as if someone tattoed a tree with no leaves on his body.

"Do you know who your mother and father are.."asked the woman with pigtails

"no" answered Ethan

"I'm your mother" both woman said simultaneously

Confused Ethan looked at both woman as his heart also raced.

"Were both your mother, biologically speaking"said the women in red with a clear voice.

"okay can you let me leave...and give me ava..please"said Ethan as he stopped struggling

"..."

"I think not" said the woman with pigtails as a painful expression Appeared on her face.

She extended her arm and the sleeping girl floated towards her shoulder.

Walking up towards Ethan she took out a bony dagger and stabbed it on Ethan's chest opening a large wound.

"Aaaaaggghh please stop!!!" as Ethan was screaming the woman sent her black-greenish blood towards his open wound.

"death is a part of life son... so live it" murmured the woman with pigtails.

"If you want her come take her from me...son" that was the only words Ethan heard before he passed out.

The woman turned to look at the other woman then at the pagonda then Ethan.

"Grow stronger" the women suddenly disappeared with the girl in her hands

The woman on the ground crawled towards Ethan who had dropped to the ground.

She also repeated what the other woman did only her blood was bright red " the only thing that can counter death is life" said the woman wearing red.

The woman took out a moon-grey medallion from her neck that was flickering like crazy and aimed it towards the pagonda which disappeared completely and placed it on Ethan's face.

"This was your father's" just as the woman said that the medallion flicked even more rapidly as it disappeared and Ethan started screaming even more painfully.

He blacked out
