⚰︎ Chapter 0:
Everyone was living their normal day in the city full of modern conveniences until they weren't. What was initially reported as, and believed to be a freak earthquake in a city typically devoid of those, made international news when an entire downtown was lifted into the sky and suddenly disappeared, leaving a gravitational disruption in its wake.
When their chunk of the university town came crashing back down onto the plane, massive tsunami waves rose to meet those that survived. Everyone scrambled to higher ground, the fragments of law enforcement and EMT that were absconded with this section of the city desperately tried to keep up with the stranded citizens and help them through the disaster. Power, water, internet, gas, and supply lines were completely shut off. Food and medical commodities were depleted from the few restaurants and stores that survived within mere hours. The mayor is gone, no one knows what to do next.
Being the middle in advancement, they're now introduced by magic from Io Dagda and never before seen technology from Zan'notic.
Meanwhile, all the regions are suffering from food shortages. Diners are keeping up with all they can, hunters are trying their best to keep the sources from dying out but killing enough to feed their family. Regions are getting possessive of their resources. Who's to blame them? However, somehow, during these struggles, a Waffle House appeared. It did offer waffles, but it was a battleground for the strongest warrior.
Pride Month was here, and the citizens are already on their feet decorating the city. Balloons, flags, festivities, all coming to life.
The frat house remains in denial, the restaurants get ready for their limited editions, and the beach resort gets ready for their parties. It looks like everyone is ready to run the streets with all their gayness. Nothing new, let's be honest, but they're here for a good time - not a long time. After all, most who live in Aelthaz are human.
Until recently, when the college started to see an increase in animal-aligned students and professors. They got confused, seeing an influx in what they thought were furries. But, the college doesn't discriminate, and signed them up for their classes. New professors to teach the history lessons, new students in each class, and new stars on the basketball team.
