Twenty five years ago, a meteorite hit the surface of earth. It caused mass extinction of each and every species on earth. From the space rock escaped the radiations and chemicals, which caused some of the living beings to mutate, and gave them uncanny abilities. And thus began the new age of humanity, the Mutant Age!

Chae opened her eyes. She looked around. Everyone was injured. Then she looked at her body. Two fingers of her left hand were broken. Her right foot was just clinging to her leg. Mere movements and it would fall off.
She then heard a voice -
"Why are you here?"
Looking up and around, there was no one. Only lights of different colors.
"Oh yeah? First say who are you."
"Imbecile. I am Shreegra Deva. The one who created this palace."
"And why did you?"
"It was my job. Now tell me, why are you here?"
"I am here to unravel the secrets of a rock."
"I can't let you. This place had information that is forbidden for unworthy mortals."
"Oh yeah? We have a planet on line. Can't just let this slip away. Let us do it, or we would use force.".
" How will you with that weak body of yours?"
"I- uhh. Can't you understand? We have the lives of more then 8 million people to protect. And you are just neglecting that? How can you?"
The giant stepped back. Then said -
"So you are the ones..."
"What?"
He touched her head with his finger. Chae's body healed. Then he made way for her.
"Your companions will heal too. Take this route. It will lead you all to the place you want to go - The Gates. Be careful, for there at many a beings to stop you from reaching your goal. You have to go through all of them. *His body starts turning to ash* My work is now done. I have reached the goal fow which I was made. Now, it's upon you all to do your best."
He then perished. Chae was left confused. After a while, others woke up. She then told them about what the giant told her.
*To Be Continued*
