The tension in the room had reached its breaking point. "Are you sure about this? Do you really want to kill the baby?" the father pleaded, his eyes searching hers for even a flicker of hesitation. She didn't waver. Her bloodshot eyes glared ahead, fixed on the path she had chosen. "It's a demon, not a baby!" she snapped, her voice sharp with conviction. "I will have an abortion and be free of this burden....a monster!" This was a world consumed by chaos. The year was 5036, an age that had come to be known as the Apocalypse. It had all begun thirty-six years prior, in the year 5000, when the Iratheons, who were vicious unrelenting demons, invaded Earth. Their motives were clear: world domination. The Iratheons' powers varied with their strength; some could manipulate elements, summon storms, or even strike the planet with meteorites. Beyond their raw might, they possessed the unique ability to inhabit any living being but ones without special abilities, which is the reason why they favour reptiles and beasts. They also tend to use these creatures to be their hosts for their speed, strength, and resilience. For decades, humanity fought back with all their strength, but the Iratheons' supernatural powers made victory nearly impossible. Still, humanity adapted. Within ten years of the invasion, they used genomic technology to decode the demons' genetic makeup and replicate fragments of their power. Slowly, the tide of war began to turn.
Victory, however, was fleeting. The Iratheons, recognizing the growing threat, unleashed their elite soldiers....the Defolions. In a single catastrophic strike, the Defolions summoned a massive meteor, annihilating nearly all of humanity, making survivability close to impossible. Before they knew it....the world had been plunged into an era of pure darkness.
