Chapter OneA Chapter by MartaChapter One: Kamra looked at her two small children.
The small Metisse, who was only six years old, was sleeping on a timeworn wool
blanket and four year old Del who was sleeping in his father’s arms. Metisse’s
face was that of a tender baby girl and her thin teardrop blue hair was braided
in a very long fish tail braid. Del’s navy blue hair and lavender skin was reflecting
perfectly in the moonlight. Her children were so seamless and innocent. Kamra
sighed; she just witnessed her city being destroyed by two atomic bombs.
Luckily, she was able to get her family out of the city and deep into a forest
when she first heard of the bomb threat. However, now her family was sleeping
on the unfriendly, cold and gloomy forest floor. They were on the very outskirt
of the forest where the wind moaned and the trees crackled, the surroundings
were very uninviting and Kamra was on a relentless watch, protecting her precious
children. Zasee was a very large city, one of the
largest in the region. It was mostly
populated by a type of species of human that evolved to quickly, called Saakri.
Unfortunately, because of the large population of Saakri, many would have
nowhere to go. Even though most Saakri are very intelligent
they are considered the lowest form of human life. Four fingers, lavender skin,
unusually big eyes, and very long legs. Their hair colors ranging from jet black
and blonde too many shades of spring green and blue. It was no surprise that
many other species and life forms considered Saakri to be one of the lowest on
the hierarchy. Zasee was constantly under threat from
Alokabara; a smaller town, that had plenty of resources and thrived greatly.
Alokabara constantly threatened Zasee because of different lifelong feuds
between the two governments, but the biggest feud was between an uninhabited
strip of land called Everly. Everly had the biggest spring water reserve in the
Region and both Zasee and Alokabara desired it. Today, Alokabara destroyed Zasee with two
atomic bombs killing everybody who still inhabited Zasee. This came as a huge
shock to everyone. Kamra lowered her head; where would her
family live now? What should she do? How can she tell her children to be strong
when she felt weak? Will her family be
accepted, even if they are Saakri? A once perfect life would now turn into
devastating search. She decided that she would leave the next morning, and by
foot her family would walk to the nearest city and decide from there. She woke
up Kilos, her husband, and told him the plan. Kilos was 7 feet tall, and very
muscular. He was well liked back in Zasee and admired by many. Back at home, he
was a civil engineer and developed great buildings and structures. When the
atomic bomb hit, he was shattered; all his great accomplishments were gone. He
was afraid that no one would ever accept a Saakri as a civil engineer in
another town. However, he was strong and Kamra appreciated that. Without him
she would have never been able to deal with all the stress of losing their life
and starting a new one. Kilos was supportive and always looked at the world
with a clear mind and positive spirit. Kilos was the perfect role model. Kamra and Kilos held each other tightly
as they devised a plan. Kilos drew a map in the dirt; they would go north, away
from Zasee and work their way into different towns, cities and regions until
they found a suitable home to live in. Kamra brushed Del’s hair, he mumbled
something but it was too hard to make it out. They gathered their supplies and
decided that tomorrow they would leave Zasee forever. This was a permanent
change and the biggest challenge of their lives. © 2012 MartaAuthor's Note
