Roleplaying

After Elyon bandaged his face, Archer grabbed his bag and his bow then walked off into the woods. Elyon didn't rule him and he needed to hunt anyways. There were so many new kids he'd have to go catch a bunch of stuff. Archer was about halfway to Hare Hill and it was already mid-day. Maybe I should just give up and go check the fish traps. he thought to himself, but just then he caught sight of a deer, an nice young buck to be exact. Archer stood stock still, he silently notched an arrow to his bow, the deer had its head up and was checking for predators. Archer stood and waited his breath a mere whisper, then the deer lowered its head back down to nibble some grass, and Twang! went his bow when the arrow was released, the deer looked up and scrambled to bolt but it was too late, the arrow struck it right behind the shoulder which wasa perfect kill zone. The deer went down and kicked about, when the deer stopped kicking Archer got out a piece of rope and tied it up by its hooves. Then, finding a high up tree branch he tied it up so that it was dangling and would be safe from predators until he came back to retrieve it later.

Ava walked up to a tree with Darrin. There were two new girls sitting under it, and Ava waved at them. "Hi! I'm Ava, but you can call me Calypso if you like, and this is Darrin," When he was introduced Darrin flashed a them a smile. "You guys must be new, follow us to the Center and hang out for a while!" he said and sauntered off. Ava followed after Darrin waving at Ronu and Joanne to follow. When they got to the Center Darrin dashed off to get snacks and Ava directed them to a wooden ping pong table, a stack of board games, and some notebooks, pencils, and colored pencils. "Its not much but that's just because we're all usually busy with jobs, monsters, or exploring, but feel free to play or whatever. Until orientation tonight you're pretty much free, though you can't leave the camp, If you have any questions just ask me or D!" With that Ava walked away a few feet to practice on a training dummy. She kicked and slashed at it with her sai knives. Darrin came back with a woven basket that help, apples, oranges, some type of exotic looking fruit, grapes and muffins. "Help yourselves!" he said, but then frowned when he saw their shoked expresions, following their gaze he rested his eyes on the sight of Ava fighting a practice dummy. Darrin laughed, "Don't be intimidated, she's really a big softy!" he said loud enough for her to hear. Ava looked over her shoulder and rolled her eyes at Darrin, "Whatever!" she said with a playful smile. Darrin took some grapes out of the basket and grabbed one of the board games, "Anyone wanna play? I must warn you though I'm a champion!" he said popping a grape in his mouth.

(P.S when people start posting again and when they all get back to camp, and when Archer gets back with the meat they're all gonna have a feast then the Sign Cerimony then everyone gets their rooms and they get to do a little unpacking and customization then It'll be nightfall then they'll get their teams like Hunting, Patrols ect. Then there's gonna be training like power training and combat training then adventures in the forest and in the city and whatever else this RP has planned! *takes a breath*)

As confused as she was, Ronu followed Ava and Darrin. They had appeared out of nowhere and it seemed that Leo had climbed from the tree and went somewhere else without either her or Joanne noticing. Ava and Darrin rambled on until they got to what they called the center and led them inside to find a variety of board games, tables, and other stuff of the sorts. Ava went to train on a beat up dummy and Darrin offered food and to play a board game. "Oh, no thank you." Ronu politely waved the fruit off. "I just ate a little while ago. She looked at the board game that Darrin was setting out. Hmm...board games? It says Candy Land. Wonder how you play?she thought. She didnt get to play any because she didnt have anybody to play with. Curiosity got the best of her and she walked up to him. "I'd like to play....If youd teach me how?"

I saw the older girl, Eylon, bandage the guy with cut across his cheek. She asked if we needed help. "Are you from the Children of the Stars?" I asked suspiciously. She nodded, so I told her I could probably get back by myself fine. Imagining a raven, I focused hard about all the details, such as the black feathers and characteristic beak. I got a clear image of the bird in my mind, and I felt the tingly sensation again. I felt myself shrink, feathers sprouting from everywhere, then my legs grew tiny and scaly, my arms felt as though they were being turned inside out. The weird feeling finnaly stopped, and Aapek suddenly looked pretty big, and I could see evrything around me, but oddly only a little in front big carof me. I flapped my wings hard, but flight became easier as I flapped higher, the cool thermals flowing underneath me. I flew in wide circles, looking for the lion that had once been Leo.  I finnaly found him, and followed the big cat's progress, until I saw the camp, so I dove down and landed with a thwump on the ground. I focused on my human self, and I was tall again, with proper-sized arms. I stepped towards the clearing, slightly jumpy, but focused on looking for Eylon. Whe I couldn't find her, I sighed and sat down in the shade of the building.

When Jylani and Mayra were hefted upon his back Leo pawed the ground impatiently. Finnaly after gathering everyone up and telling them to follow, Elyon gave the okay to start heading for camp. It wasn't too far away but Elyon kept trying to make sure Leo didn't go too fast or let Jylani and Mayra get whacked by branches.

Elyon dashed through the forest like a graceful spring doe. She leaped over rocks and logs, using her long, lithe legs. After a while she took to the trees and quickly got ahead of them. Dropping down next to Shelilla Elyon turned and waited for the others.

Following Leo the Children came to camp. They looked around at the large limestone carved camp that was their new home. Leo took Jylani and Mayra into the infirmary to be cared for but after his last accident, the on duty Cancers made him wait outside. Everyone else was told to follow Elyon to the Center.

Elyon left the Children with Ava, Darrin, Ronu, and Joanne in the Center to hang out untill Archer got back. I don't know why he likes to hunt without a team, but as long as he gets the job done. Elyon thought as she went to her room. She grabbed her Cerimonial outfit, some soap a towel and washcloth and a brush and hair ribbons. Then Elyon headed to the Shireking Falls to wash up and get dressed.

After tying up the deer Archer continued to Hare Hill, and just like Elyon said the rabbits were hopping about like it was easter! (winkies!) Archer nailed three then stopped along with the deer and the fish he wouldn't need much more meat and he didn't want to kill for no reason. Tying the rabbits up and attatching them to his belt Archer put away his bow and arrows then began the treck to the shallowest part of the Winding River. It was almost sundown, and the sky was getting darker, so Archer quickly gathered the fish and reset the traps. Then he cloned up a second one of his to carry the deer and walked back to camp just as the sun was going down and Elyon was coming back.

Elyon washed off all the days dirt and grime then washed her hair. She braided it up and tied it tight, before putting on her cerimonial clothes. She wore a long, silky, dress that had beautiful beads of amber and gold. On her wrists were brilliant hand crafted bracelets with priceless jewels imbedded into them. She also wore an amulet that seemed to glow in the fading sunlight. By the time she was dressed her hair was dry, undoing the braid her brown wavy hair hung in rippling waves down her back she fixed it with bejeweled combs, slid on her golden gladiator sandals and alas was ready. Elyon walked back to camp, going the long way to avoid the forest and finnaly came to camp. She walked to the large campfire and ordered everyone to it for the Festivities.

Jylani flinched back as her arm was treated. She was very frightened and had never liked doctors. They did something that numbed her arm, she didn't know what because her eyes were closed the whole time, and her arm was quickly taken care of. Her arm was braced and hung in a sling. She opened her eyes and gave a sigh of relief that it was over. Gladly she got up from where she was seated and rushed out the door. She was informed that there was a celebration at a large campfire and was directed to it. . .

Mayra was looking around the infirmary from where she was sitting. While she was busy looking around she felt her leg go numb, they must have already done something to it while she was looking around. They rubbed some sort of medicine on her leg. She watched as they started to stitch her leg closed. She couldn't feel any of the pain which only furthermore proved they had done something to it. One of the people who were treating her said there was going to be a celebration at a large campfire. "Thank you," Mayra got to her feet and walked to find wherever this large campfire was. That shouldn't be too hard.

Leo had dissapeared from the infirmary and went to his room. Today was one of the days that Elyon made him wear actual clothes. He harumphed and laked though his wild, messy looking room. He stalked over to his bead where Elyon had layed out what she wanted him to wear. Leo pulled on the fine, silk clothing rubbed a wet washcloth over his face and ran a comb through his hair. When he was done he looked acutally normal, though he didn't see it. Leo then stalked to the campfire sulkily. When the scent of all of the roasting meat reached his nose he instantly brigtened up and took his seat on a carved marble seat that was infront of the pit that was where the campfire was to be. He didn't feel the warmth and wondered where Elyon was.

Archer dropped off the meat at the cooking area, and went to his room. He quickly washed off then changed into his Cerimonial outfit, it wasn't a regal as Elyon's because he wasnt into that stuff but it was still amazing. Most of it was made of a shimmery, night black fabric. He slicked back his jet black hair then walked to the Campfire and sat down in a marble chair. He looked around and saw that people were showing up and the Campfire still wasn't lit. Where is Elyon! He thought.

( And now I will post on Elyon! Suspense..... )

Joanne sat in the imfirmary, looking at her necklace. "This would have been easier for my life if grandma was alive," She said to her self. She rubbed her hand over the plushie, silver necklace. It glowed with admiration. She had left the others because she just didn't feel in place (and she didn't have a room :D ) Joanne finally just stood up and left the room and started to count as many places, items and people as she could,cause that is what she does wehn she is filled with sadness, madness, and confusion. (I'll post Mark when I get the chance sorry its not much)

Mark sat Quietly on a log, hopless and a bit upset. After a while, he started to talk to himself. "Lets se, there are three choices that I have," Mark said. "One, I can get off this log." A small rustle came from a bush, but Mark didn't hear it. "Two, I can find somthing to eat," All the sudden, a whole bunch of speed demons popped out the bush. Mark jumped up off his log. "Or three, attack the monsters," He said very panickly. He grabbed the log and swung it at the speed demons, but they were gone! Mark gasped, stepping back from the location. Then he felt a cold bony finger on his shoulder. Mark shouted Whoa! and swung the log, hitting a black figure, which landed into another black figure. Mark finally was able to find out where the speed demons were. He Swung his log, taking out most of them. Then more came. One ran past Mark, breaking his log. Mark couldn't do nothing but.....run, and thats what he did.

As everyone was settling down into seats or standing in spots around the campfire, Elyon made her grand entrance. There were bursts of fire and lightning crackling and whizzing through the air. It was like watching a fireworks display on the fourth of July. Elyon stepped up in front of the campfire walking through what seemed to be an arch of fire. She smiled a dazzling smile, her eyes reflecting the flames like a blazing inferno, her dressed shimmered and shinned and danced like the fire. She smiled and opened her arms wide, "Let the Ceremony begin!" she said merrily. Elyon then cupped her hands and closed her eyes, she reached deep down into her soul and thought of happiness and joy and love her hands filled with a warm glowing heat and a single flame pulsed like a heartbeat. She opened her eyes and threw the flame into the pit it leapt and grew into a blazing ball of fire that felt like a warm embrace and put a smile on everyone's face.

Leo smiled and clapped "That was AMAZING!" he shouted. Archer gave a nod of approval before standing up with a scroll that contained the History of the Stars and the Order of the Children. Elyon went and sat in the center marble chair and listened to Archer read the scroll. When he was done Leo stood up, "If all newcomers would please line up in front of the fire." he said. When they were all lined up, Leo stood in front of each of them. His eyes looked even more unusual in the firelight they seemed to have an unearthly glow about them. Leo asked them to hold their hands out. He then went to the fire and dipped his hands in, it didn't burn him instead it felt cool in his hands, the flame turned gold and he walked to each of them putting some of the fire in their hands. When they touched the fire it turned a different color depending on their signs. "Now, the flame that you are holding is your heart flame, it should be the color that represents your sign with the stars." Leo then read off a list of each of the signs, the powers associated with them, the information about them and the color. "By now you should know what your sign is and therefore it is time for you to introduce yourselves and say the pledge. Then after you have done that you shall throw your flame back into the fire."  "I will start, My name is Leo, I am a leo, I am a Child of the Stars,  I was chosen to rebuild humanity and show that we as humans are worthy to live on this earth. I will do my best to fulfill my destiny and use every power and breath in me to be what I was meant to be, and like the Stars in the sky, my heart's eternal flame shall never die." Leo the threw his flame into the fire and it exploded into a dazzling display of gold sparks. Archer went, then Elyon followed.  She turned to the kid that was first in the row and said, "You're up!" with a smile, her hazel eyes dancing like the fire.

(Next poster can be the kid, you don't have to post much just their point of view and their flame color, what they think of the outfits or the ceremony or whatever. XD this post was 583 words!)

She and the other children that arrived earlier followed Ava and Darrin to the large campfire. There were lots of people there and an entire table set up with all kinds of yummy smelling food. I wonder where they got it all!When Ava and Darrin got them all settled and went to go sit in some seats a little ways away, Ronu sat in her own and looked around some more. The campfire wasnt lit yet and right now looked like a tall pile of sticks that had to be one or two feet taller than her. Behind it there were three marble chairs. Perched upon the two outer ones were Archer and Leo. I wonder who the middle one is for. Just then fire and electricity burst through the air and a girl that she hadnt met yet walked through an arch of fire. She announced the start of the ceremony and put on a fire show that lit up the campfire in the end. The now blazing fire seemed to dance with all sorts of shades of oranges and yellows. As she went to sit in the center marble chair, Archer stood up and spoke from a scroll that talked about the history of the Children of the Stars. Then when he was done, Leo stood up and asked for the newcomers to come to the fire. As soon as everyone was lined up he took part of the fire and gave it to everyone. Ronu, not ever seeing fire you could hold without burning yourself, was a little scarred when he handed her some of the bit of fire but then settled down when it didnt hurt. Her flame seemed to turn pink and when she looked at everyone else's flames, they had changed a different color as well. Leo gave them instructions on what to do then threw his flame back into the fire followed by Archer and the girl who introduced herself as Elyon. Then Elyon turned to Ronu and called her out to be next. "M-My name is Ronu. I'm a Cancer." Not thinking there was anything else she needed to say, she threw her flame into the fire where it exploded like the others.

 

(wow! that was like 376 words! XD)

~ The Forest ~
The forest is a large, dense, pine forest that is located just off the city. There is lots of undergrowth, and the floor is carpeted with a soft blanket of pine needles. There are no foot trails in the forest, and hardly anyone went in there for at least 20 years before the apocalypse, as there was a freak accident in a quarry in the forest, and people who go in there are said to never come out, taken by the ghosts of the quarry workers who died all those years ago.





~ Camp ~
'Camp' as they like to call it, is the Children of the Star's base. It is where they sleep, eat and generally live. It is a very large dip in the ground with very steep limestone sides. It is built in the old quarry, and is about the size of two, two floor houses put together side-by-side, in height and width. There are only two ways out and in. One: The main entrance. It is a narrow winding path that slopes gently around the side of the quarry. It has been carved into the stone, and is smooth so gets very slippery when wet. The second entrance is the emergency exit. It is a narrow tunnel, just big enough to crawl through, in the back of the camp. It floods when it rains, as it goes down and then back up to the surface. The entrance in the forest is covered up with leaves and foliage incase any monsters happen to stumble across it. It is not to be used apart from the case of an emergency. The camp is a rough, rounded rectangle shape, and has three main sections to it. The main entrance comes out into the first section: The main clearing. This is where the Children gather every day to eat, talk and generally socialize. The hard stone floor is blanketed in pine needles to make it soft to sit on, and there are may rings of stones in cleared spaces which are used to light fires. Some of them have logs to serve as benches around them, and others have pots and pans hanging over them on small wooden structures. Some have barriers around then to that they can be lit in wind and rain. Small fold-up tables and chairs are dotted around the clearing, and there are three caves leading into the cliff-face at the base of the cliff. These caves are used for emergencies incase of an attack form the monsters. The children have brought metal gates up from the city, and attached them to make doors at the front of the caves. Inside, there small tunnels, just big enough to walk through with your head bent a bit, thoguh some only have crawl space. They are half way up the walls that connect all the caves together. These tunnels can also be shut off with small metal hatchways. Each cave can comfortably hold around 10 or so people, and inside each cave there are supplies to last ten people a week. There is food, water, a fire ring, some pots, torches, two walkie-talkies, and some blankets.





The second section is to the left of the main clearing, and is called the 'storage section'. This is where all the supplies are stored, including food, water, blankets, sheets and pillows, batteries, weapons and armor and anything else that the children bring from the city. It is sectioned off from the main clearing with a wall about feet high made from boxes and crates covered in plastic sheeting to stop them disintegrating. The entrance is a small hole, big enough to crawl through. This can be blocked from inside if anyone gets stuck in there during a monster attack, and is only big enough to let one person through at a time. Tight plastic sheets spread from the cliff face (Hammered into the stone with bolts) to the boxes, and keeps rain out of the storage section. The roof is at the same level as the boxes (8ft).



The third and final section is the sleeping quarters. This section is bigger than the storage area, but smaller than the main clearing. It can comfortably hold several people, and is sectioned off in the same way as the storage area, with a sun-tinted roof structure and clear plastic windows. However, inside this section, people have sectioned themselves off rooms, leading off of the two main corridors. These rooms are around 8ft, and can hold a bed and some room for personal belongings such as clothes, etc. The beds are circular, and are made up of ferns and bracken woven together, with sheets (Taken from the abandoned Wal-Mart in the city along with the blankets and pillows) covering them, and blankets and a pillow on top.



~ The shrieking falls ~
This beautiful waterfall is located not far from the camp. It is not very big, about 22ft high, and gets it's name from the noise it makes if the wind blows over it in a certain direction, a terribly loud shrieking noise. The large plunge-pool at it's base is around 9ft deep in the middle, and around 1ft at the very edge, is used for washing. The children have made a barrier of woven materials that sections off part of it for doing things like brushing teeth and washing hands, where the current is not as strong and the dirty water does not mix with the bathing water while someone is having a bath. But the most remarkable thing about the waterfall is that the water is warmer than most river water, even in winter, as the source of the river is just half a mile up from the waterfall. It is a hot spring source. If you go behind the waterfall, there is a small cave which is not used for anything, so people usually go up there for some peace and quiet. You do have to get quite wet to get there though. Inside, it is layered with thick moss all over the floor and walls, and is also used for collecting moss for bedding.



~ Fern forest ~
This large dip in the ground is full of ferns. Many a child has walked into it, thinking it is just another stretch of land, but actually it is about 19ft deep, and full of ferns growing from the sides into the middle until you get to the very bottom, where there is a 5ft gap, and then mossy floor. It's sides are not very steep, but are covered in moss. They are easy to climb when dry, but when it is wet, however, they get very slippery and are almost impossible to climb. At the bottom, it is around 9ft wide and is very dark. It is used for fighting practice, due to it's difficult conditions, and it is a useful trap to lead the monsters into. The children always bring a rope ladder incase it starts to rain half-way-through a training session and they find that they can't get out. Beware of ticks and falling down it!


~ Hare Hill ~
Hare Hill is a huge, tree-covered hill in the center of the forest. You can see the whole forest and most of the city from the top, so it is used for lookout. The children have built a treehouse-type structure in the tallest tree at the top, which is accessed by a rope ladder, and is a platform made of wooden planks encircling the trunk with a radius of around 3ft The platform is sheltered with yet more plastic sheeting, and has a small but steady barrier around the edge. On the platform, there is a telescope, some ropes, a first aid kit, survial pack and climbing harnesses, incase the platform gives way. The hill got it's name from the fact that there is a wide tunnel leading all the way through the hill, half way up, that branches off into the unknown at many points. But if you follow the main tunnel, it will lead out the other side of the hill. Legend has it that hundreds of years ago, a huge hare came and dug the tunnel. It is dark and wet in the tunnel, and home to many animals such as rabbits which the Children of the Stars can hunt.


~ Winding River ~
The river that runs through the forest. I starts at a hot source at the base of Hare Hill, and quickly grows into a steaming hot river. By the time it gets to the Shrieking Waterfall, it's about the temperature of bath water. It flows all the way through the center of the forest, passing right by Camp, and flows out into the city. It is called the 'Winding' River, because there are some white water rapids just past the waterfall, and it is very winding, going miles out of it's way before getting back on corse again. You have to cross it several times before you can get to the city, and the children have found a route where the water is shallow enough to wade across. Most of the time, it is about 6ft deep and 32ft wide at widest, but mostly around 13ft wide. The children use the boiling hot water at the source to cook food and to wash their clothes. But be careful, it'll burn you very badly if you fall in!


(More places to come when I think of them!)

_{This role play is about a post-apocalyptic world. It is set in the year 2012, and the only survivors , only as old as 18, have been given a task. The biggest task anyone has ever been given. All of them have been given what some call 'gifts' to save the human race. How? They don't know. But mystic beings who call themselves 'the Stars' are always watching them, ready for them to fail, and to see all humanity lost to the mists of time. The stars did this to the world, as the human race was at the beginning of something evil, which had to be stopped. What, nobody knows. All that they know is that the future of the world lies in their hands. Each gift they have been given corresponds with their star sign, or zodiac sign. This won't be a walk in the park for the Children of the Stars. They will be faced with the challenges of survival to the extreme, the feeling of want and love fogging their minds on their goal and mission that they will have to achieve if they want to see the coming day. Monsters that were once human lurk in the shadows, ready to kill. They will show no mercy, and if they win... There is no chance. For anyone. Can the young generation save what is left of humanity, and re-populate the world? Nothing is clear yet, not even to the stars. Only time, and courage, can tell...}

_Enemies

<sub>These creatures are the enemy that the Children of the Stars have to face. They will kill if they get the chance, so you must always kill them first. Do not fool for their seemingly stupid or wimpish ways. You never know, it may be a trick...

Name: Beasts
Appearance:Beasts look like a cross between a wolf and a zombie. They walk on four legs with a hunched up back and scraggly tails that can hurt when hit by one. They havemangy fur and their skin isyellowish with grey spots here and there with blood pus filled sores making them look sickly when they're an animal you don't want to mess with. Their eyes are pitch black with no white. They have long, razor sharp claws that can tear through skin like paper and jaws that can lock themselves in. Though, they aren't the smartest monster.
Personality: They are probably one of the more common monsters found lurking around. They usually travel in packs like wolves but they don't target animals, they target kids with a star sign. They aren't smart at all really but when they get a good grip on a kid they will tear them apart.
Special abilities: Have a high screech that can deafen someone temporarily.
Danger level: 5
Things to watch out for: Listen for small yips and stuff and if you hear a low howl it would be best to run.

Name: Blood Suckers
Appearance: Bloodies, as some will call them, look almost enchanting. Though their touch to the skin is cold and their skin is pale white some will think of them as the most gorgeous creatures and the most human looking. They have long, elegant, sharp claws on their fingers. They have tattoos all over them that are black, stenciling into their skin. Their eyes are a bright red and their mouth usually a purple, blue, or ruby red with their fangs sticking out just a bit. Their hair is usually black, females end at the waste and males end at the ears.
Personality: They are probably one of the smarter monsters in the world. They're blood thirsty needing to drink blood for food. Usually isolate themselves from others and waits for a victim that's alone.
Special abilities: They have heightened senses easily finding their next meal. Their strength is above normal. Female Bloodies can sing to lure boys into her fangs and males will usually entice girls to come with them. Don't look into their eyes because if you do your memory could easily be altered or wiped. They can also put subconscious thoughts into their victims to single them out in a group. They can also control the minds of the weak-minded.
Danger level: 9
Things to watch out for: A weeping person alone in the forest, someone with bright red eyes that almost seemed to glow, your comrade beginning to act strange as if following commands from something.

Name: Speed Demons
Appearance: Speed Demons, also known as Speeds, are pitch black creatures, almost like a shadow, though they don't have one themselves. Their eyes are a glowing yellow and their teeth, which are also black, are razor sharp.
Personality: They love to cause pain, screaming is like music to their ears. They will torture their victims if they get the chance.

You run through the forest, not daring to look back over your shoulder. You know they're behind you, you can hear them. They're catching up, and you can't run for much longer. Suddenly, you feel yourself being grabbed from behind. Something pulls you into a hedge. You're too scared to speak or scream or do anything. they've got me. This is the end. you're forced to the ground, and you see a kid around with streaks of mud covering their face. They put a finger to their lips, indicating that they want silence. You hear the monsters pass a few meters away from the hedge, and don't even dare to breath. A few minutes after the noise is gone, the kid pins you to the ground. "Open your mouth." They say, giving you a hard glare. Scared, you do as they ask. The kid looks inside. "No fangs. That's a start. But how do I know your not a Shade? Well, I've never seen you before, and we're the only humans left, so it's very unlikely that you could be a shade... Looks like I'll just have to trust you." The kid looks out through a crack in the hedge. 'Stay here.' They say, and standing up, careful not to make a noise. The kid returns a minute later and sits down in front of you. "They're gone, but they'll be back. They always are... Don't worry, you're safe for now. I'm a child of the stars. I'm taking it you are too, or you wouldn't be alive." You have no idea what they're talking about, but right now you're just glad to see another human being. "Come on, we'd better get back to the camp now." They stand up and check that the coast is clear before stepping out of the hedge and brushing themself off. You do the same. They start to walk off, deeper into the woods, and you follow them helplessly.

Soon, you enter a steep dip in the ground. Logs are piled up most of the sides of the hollow, and many people sit on the ground or around camp fires. There are beds made out of blankets and pillows in one corner, containers and tins of food in another and various fold up tables and chairs scattered around the place. The kid walks over to one of the many campfires and sits down. They beckon you to sit oposite of them. "So, I take it you're from he city? Those monsters don't normally wander this far into the forest on their own. You've got to be careful nowadays. You never know when one of them will jump out at you..." They poke the fire with a metal stick."what's your star sign?" The kid asks eventually. You look at them, confused. "Okay, maybe I should explain what happened first." "We never thought it would come, but it did. The turning of the year, the turning of reality. Nobody thought that it would ever happen, science proved that it would never happen. But it did. The apocalypse came, and destroyed humanity. Just as they foretold. And now it's only us. Those who were saved. We are the children of the stars, chosen to stay alive. The fresh generation with a chance to put right all that humanity has done wrong. And it's a fight for survival in the world we used to call home. With the powers of the stars on our side, we have a small chance to get things back to the way they were. To rebuild humanity."At The turning of the year from 2011 to 2012, hardly anyone took the apocalypse seriously. There had been people who had predicted how the world would end, in the form of strange new planets flipping The earth upside down, ancient calendars turning over, and a new age of the zodiac. But only one persons predicted what would really happen. An old woman, who had been chosen by the stars to pass on a prophecy. We found her, and she told us everything I'm telling you now. She told us about The stars, and about what we had to do. Then, on her deathbed, she gave us the prophecy.

"The human race was destroyed, but can yet be saved. It is up to you to prove that humanity is worthy of living. Show us this, and the earth shall be populated once more. Fail, and humanity shall be lost forever in the mists of time. You shall be faced with things darker than you could possibly imagine......"

"How did the world end? On new years day, there was a meteor shower. But not just an ordinary meteor shower. A radioactive meteor shower that covered the entire world, destroying almost everything. We are the children who have been chosen, and we have been given powers to help us prove our worth.

"At first, we didn't know what these powers were for, but as the prophecy said, we were to be tested. When the meteors hit, most of the population died. However, some survived, but mutated into things that were only thought to exsist in horror films. These creatures are intelligent, and have found ways of cloning themselves. Their aim is to destroy anything that seems a threat to them. In this case, us."What's that? you want to hear more about our powers? Well, every human has a star sign. They are Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio and Sagittarius. Each one of us has been given the power of our star sign. Our powers protect us from the radioactivity of the meteors, and help us fight the monsters the people have become. "There's only a few of us here at the moment, but more are coming. the meteors didn't touch the forest, so we made our camp here because there's not enough radiation to destroy the plants and animals which we eat. The stars guide us here, so more of us should be coming." After they had finished, the kid let's out a little laugh. "I can tell that you don't believe any of this." thier face becoming serious. "But it's true, and It's a dangerous world out there. Believe it or not, you've been guided here because you're special. And unless you want to get killed, you've got no choice but to stay...."
