The year is 2297. Earth is in a state of ruin after world war 3 in 2024 very few normal humans remain alive and are living in a renaissance age with no clue as to how to use what was once modern technology except for car and medical equipment. There are however other beings such as myself that do know and remember how to use it. Oh me? I'm a Werewolf. An ancient one at that, for I'm 2000 years old and contrary to the belief that humans made the first guns. I'm actually the one that developed and passed my knowledge on to the man that " on " invented them. But the knowledge that I passed on was that of archaic flintlock guns and archaic cannons. My name is John by the way. Also a lot of the world's technology wasn't made or invented by humans but was developed and shared by other monsters such as myself. The other monster/Mythical beings are Minotaurs, Llamia's (snake like beings that have the torso of a human and the lower body and tail of a snake), Viper kin (similarly to the Llamia's they have the torso of a human, but they have legs like a human but have the head of a Cobra and venomous fangs, and venomous range spit), Gorgans (Gorgans are the same species as Medusa), Vampires (unlike in the movies, Vampires can survive in sunlight but only for a little while without very powerful sunscreen, when the sunscreen where's off the vampire starts to burn badly and eventually the sunburn reaches there core and kills them with what could only be described as 6th degree burns), Dragon kin (Dragon kin almost human except they're covered in scales and have sharp claws on their fingers, they also have the abilities of a dragon such as being able to breath fire and shrug of most small arms like hand guns and arrows, but are susceptible to hand to hand combat with melee weapons and large caliber weapons, along with ice magic/ temps), merefolk (I don't think I need to explain what merefolk are), birdkin (bings that look like humans but have feathers on their arms and have the characteristics of different birds), goblins, Orks. Elves used to exist along with dwarves but mankind exterminated both races before the rise of human empires and kingdoms. Similarly if I personally hadn't passed the most basic knowledge of firearms my kind and a lot of other races wouldn't be having to hide our existence from humans even though there are only 200,000 humans in the world, the number of monster kin such as myself only reach about 35,000 to be honest there's only 5,000 werewolves left in the world and I know 7 others. there's around 2,500 vampires in the world and I know 2 of them, there's about 500 dragon kin, about 2,000 bird kin, about 10,000 goblins, about 5,000 merefolk, and 500 viper kin, 9,250 Llamia, and 250 Gorgans. Due to our numbers being so low we have to remain in the shadows as to not be discovered and eradicated. Even though each species has their own unique magic and abilities, and the fact that mankind doesn't have most of modern technology anymore to rely on, humans would still render us extinct in less than 2 years due to their sheer numbers. As for how we've remained hidden and shrouded in folk lore and legends, well that's just how people saw us as when they stopped being able to hunt and find us. In my case however, I live among them and can control when and where I change into my wolf form. My wolf form stands around 7 feet tall with black and silver fur, my eyes both as a human and in my wolf form are a pail blue like that of a husky and I think you can put the rest of it together and how I look in wolf form.
In my human form I stand around 6 feet tall, I have shoulder length raven black hair with a few dark brown streaks going through it. As for what I'm doing right now I'm on my way to a human hospital as a "special consultant" for a bite wound on a woman that's in her early twenties. The reason I'm the special consultant in this case is due to how she described what happened to her, and the fact that the doctor overseeing her treatment is a friend of mine, one of the only humans I trust with the knowledge of what I am and the existence of other monster kin like me. As I entered the hospital my friend Clark was waiting for me.
John! Over here! Clark yelled as I started walking to the front desk.
Oh hey Clark! So how bad is she. I replied as I got within 6 feet of him.
She's already starting to show signs of being turned into something, but as to what I don't know, Clark whispered to me. So please follow me, we're going to have to use a few short cuts that aren't really approved of. Clark stated and started running to one of the restricted areas of the hospital. I followed Clark through multiple different areas of the hospital until we got to the ICU except the room we were running to was quarantined off to all except the doctor in charge of the patient and those he/she gives access to. We were two yards away when a nurse yelled hold it right there! no one is allowed in there except-. She then realized the doctor that was trying to enter was allowed in and quickly apologized to both me and Clark and went back to whatever it was she was doing. Clark then turned to me and began to talk. Now I have no idea what type of person this young lady is or will be but when I last spoke to her she was both confused and was scared of something that happened to her. I then looked at Clark and nodded then replied well if she is infected and is turning, I need to see her so that I can either try and prevent her from turning or prepare her for a new secret life that will be vastly different from human life.
As I said this Clark nodded and opened the door so I could go in and ushered me in. What I saw when I walked in was a woman with long amber red hair, brown eyes, and caramel colored skin. She also looked like was around 5 foot 3 but it's hard to tell due to her being in a hospital bed laying down sleeping. Upon closer examination I noticed that her skin looked like that of a snake about to shed. I then looked at Clark and said: it's too late for me to prevent what comes next. Clark slumped forward a bit, sighed and said how long until she changes? As I looked back at the woman who is now waking up from sleep I braced myself for her to lash out in surprise, but to my surprise she didn't. The woman just looked at me and said: So who are you? and what do you mean by start to change? I then sighed heavily and then asked her what attacked cause depending on what she tells me I'll be able to better inform her what will happen. She then Proceeded to tell me how she was following up on strange rumors of monsters that look like a snake and a human down in a couple of the old and abandoned tunnels. Of course I knew what tunnels she was referring to and that was the old subway tunnels, I also now knew what attacked her and could inform her what was going to happen to her before she even described the attack. I then turned to Clark who was standing by the door waiting for me to tell him what needed to be done, and said: Well looks like we're going to need to have you wipe her name and medical records as well as the footage from her arrival here. Clark just nodded and left the room so I could fill the woman in as to what's going to happen. After about 20 minutes of me explaining what happened to her and what is going to happen to her, the woman just scoffed at me and said I was a lunatic. Well that was until I took on my Werewolf form right in front of her and said: This should clear up any of your doubts about what I've told you, but now we must leave for if anyone other than me and Clark see you after your transformation they will kill you, and let's be honest seeing a Llamia would make most normal people freak out and go ballistic. The woman just looks at me stunned as everything she thought she knew to be just folk tales and good stories, where now proven to be mostly true in some cases. I then lightly shook her to regain her attention and said: We must leave now! As more of her skin starts to flake and peel off revealing Blue ish pink florescent scales on her shoulders. As I was trying to get the women to listen Clark came bursting through the door pale as snow like he had just seen something horrifying. What wrong Clark I asked. Clark slowly turned his head and said: He's here! Clark then pointed at the woman then said: And is looking for her!
