In the end long-forgotten cave that is as silent as the graveyard, a robotic voice broke that serene silence. “Systems online. Initiating boot-up sequence. Essential systems online. Initiating sensors. Error, module not available. Initiating Belatorr. Error, module not available. Initiating Servitiun. Error, module not available. Initiating Nedicus. Module available initiating store capsule open.”

The cave was illuminated by emerald stips on the walls. The time has done its job and like an experienced chef a making good meal it mixed metal, cables, and glass mixed with stone. In the center of mixed rubble one tube-like container opened and from it, a naked woman stood up. Her gaze was distant for a few moments and then her green eyes came to life like someone switched on the doll.

“Body self-diagnosis stat”, as she said that with an almost melodic voice she started touching herself all over her body almost like a doctor examining the patient. “Body working properly.”

Looking at the rubble she noticed a broken screen to her right that showed some kind of symbols and she walked to it over the rubble not even flinching because of the jagged terrain.

After she clicked on the screen a few times the robotic voice started again “Sensors module online. Initiating scanning. Scanning, scanning, scanning. Low medical capability detected in the scanned area, multiple persons with heavy and light injuries detected.”

When she heard the last sentence her eyes lit up with a sense of duty and like the wind, she grabbed from the rubble a dirty lab coat and red rucksack and started running to the exit of the cave. The passage to the exit was not illuminated but it bothers her all, like a hunter set on her prey he bolted through the narrow passage and finally reached the exit.

From the exit of the cave, she could see a village that is half in rubble, houses burning devastated by the attack from something.

In the burning village in the passage between two houses, a young boy was crying in pain with a broken left leg. A big black wolf a size of a horse with spikes on his back jumped in front of the boy. He was frozen in fear like a statue and at that moment stopped crying as the wolf slowly approached step by step and prepared to eat the boy he was hit in the head by a fireball.

Unfortunately, the fireball did not affect the big wolf and he jumped to the old man behind the boy and bite off the left shoulder together with the arm and part of the torso killing the man.

The metal disk the size of a hockey puck flew through the air hitting the wolf in the head in sticking itself to it a moment later he was struck by lightning, the half the buried body fell on the ground. The last thing the boy saw before passing out was someone white garment and black hair coming closer, he felt hope.
