Ep01. The elders and the little girl.

In a small house in the living room. An old woman is sitting in a reclining chair carving a little doll with a piece of wood. The piece of work is beautiful and full of details. By her side in the armchair a frail man is sitting holding a cane in his hands and happily telling a story for a little girl.

"My dear granddaughter when grandpa was young, grandpa traveled the world with your grandma. Well that time the world hadn't changed yet. That time is a very safe time, we could travel whatever we wanted. I work in restaurants around the world trying to learn different types of cuisine."

After hearing by the site the grandma lift his head and with a mocking face she said:

"Don't listen to the nonsense that skinny old bones are saying. All he knows is bragging all the time. If your grandpa says he is the second man who washes the most plates in the world no one dares to claim the first place. HA HA HA."

The truth is grandma is a super talented artisan and travels around the world exposing her arts, but after an old age the body can respond accordingly anymore.

"Old hag, stop staining my image in front of the kid", gramps respond.

The little girl just giggles, seems to be used to the bickering.

After some time of bickering the old woman decided to return carving and ignore the old man. Grandpa, frustrated, looks for his granddaughter and after thinking for some time he says:

"My dear tell Grandpa what you know about The Bright Day".

The girl adorably tilted her head to the side and put her on her chin like a little adult.

"Uhm… The Bright Day is the day the whole world shines like the stars.

And then… then… um… what happened next Grampa I forgot".

"Oh, after the world shines, the world expands to 10 times the normal size, the world starts to gain vitality. In the beginning humanity just discovered the increase of the size, but after some time the animals and vegetation are the first to suffer mutation. Everything in the world changes and humanity seems to stay the same, gradually chaos starts to descend, the humans who always stay in the top of the food chain start to suffer the mutated animal attacks, the cities do not have walls to defend and small cities are destroyed overnight.

Until one day nobody knows how some special people start to emerge in the world. In our region the Dragon Overlord, that bast…. ahem bad man. He claims to be the Dragon of the havens, he awakens his Dragon form and he can awaken the Dragon power for his subordinates. In order regions emerge others awakeners, bestowners, messengers of the gods or whatever they claim to be, every one of them gains special powers and the rights to bestow power for others, whew no one says how the bestow happen and the conditions for someone be select to gain the privilege to gain powers, but the thing we know is the for example the Dragon Overlord he can bestow the power of the family of dragons for his subordinates and family. Us commoners don't have a chance to be recognized and gain power just to try to survive in this world.

In the same house on the second floor in a dark room a man lays in the bed. His complexion seems to be pale and very skinny, he appears to be in coma.

The only sound in the room is the equipaments monitoring the vital sign.

At the side of the bed a metallic cub lay on top of the small table. Suddenly the small cube starts to slowly float in the direction on the top of the head of the man, the next moment the cube starts to emit electric sparks and rotates illuminating all the room.
