Chapter one: the boy with the golden eyes

Eiran a bright teenager, with beautiful bright golden eyes,stood above a building in the middle of the "levarge town" a town created by a group of humans survivors,Eiran golden eyes are scanning the horizon,his white hair whiter than snow,the snow he will never get to see duo to the nuclear fallout...the land outside of the village wall filled with grotesque creatures... monsters born from the nuclear radiation that destroyed the earth, roaming the wasteland mindless... seeking only to kill anything that move for the sake of it.

"Eiran my boy!it seems to me you have visited our small village again in this month"a playful yet sneaky voice said behind Eiran

"shut up Kimble...I am here just to trade some junk and when I Finish I will leave your stupid town" Eiran said in a cold tone to the man named Kimble

"you really should stop with this "lone wolf act" do you realise how stupid it is to travel alone in this wasteland... look the town isn't perfect but...but at least we can protect you from the 6 factions and maybe even from the mutants...you should trust us" Kimble voice is gentle and caring towards the lone teenager

"trusting people always end up badly... either end up with a betrayal or end up with someone dying...I appreciate your offer Kimble...but I am a loner...still I'll stick for some time here until tomorrow"Erian said clearly remembering some memories from his past

As both of them started walking in the town, Kimble suddenly said "my parents always used to tell me stories about humanity before everything happened....the flashing lights everyone...the music... everything was beautiful back then" Kimble voice is gentle as always remembering his parents,as Erian answered "yet everything got ruined because of a war...humanity is really doomed to fail"

"I really believe in the otherwise... it's part of the human spirit to fail...a human will always fail only to success at the end it's what make us humans... it's what separate is from those mutants outside" Kimble said in a hopeful voice,the voice of a men who really believe in humanity

"not really honestly...I mean a bunch of freaks are playing collosum just outside of the town,and of course we have the 6 factions who are all a bunch of sadistic nihilists who want to control eachother" Eiran answered as both of them finally reached Kimble office in the middle of the town

IN THE OFFICE

"mr Kimble!I have been waiting for you there is a big problem you.. you really should see" dihya the female assistant of Kimble said running towards him and Erian

"what is it dihya" Kimble answered in a nervous tone

"...the brotherhood of future has... kidnapped a child from our town..."dihya voice scared and shaky

"the brotherhood of future?!?!god what should we do those bastards really want us to get involved in the war between factions...what should we do to help this poor kid"kimble whispered clearly thinking about a plan

Suddenly Erian answered

"i will get this kid back"erian didn't say anything else as he started walking outside of the town towards the settlement of the brotherhood of future soldiers

"mr.kimble are you sure this stranger can handle it?" dihya asked Kimble

"i trust him in this...but I guess only time will answer" Kimble answered

"this is going to be a long day"

Eiran through to himself outside of the town wall... facing the multiple mutants he will have to fight to reach the brotherhood of future settlement

To be continued....
