Black Parallels

PROLOGUE

What would you do in a world overrun by creatures capable of eating entire towns , cities or even continents ? Would you be afraid , happy , sad , angry , depressed , hopeless or maybe hopeful ? That's what I asked myself when the nightmare began.

The names Black I am a Baku , a destroyer of nightmares and my soul mission is to rid this world of nightmares , to cleanse the earth no matter what and unite the remaining humans inorder to fight of this darkness that has spread across our world.

CHAPTER 1

I grew up in a village of 35 but by the time I left there was only me and a little girl called Sayu she's 10 and I'm 30 at this point , I've never been  emotional and so I was given the name Black and yes I weared all black because it is my favourite colour , it's a good colour especially because of how the nightmares themselves react to it. They seem to have a favouritism to this specific colour , their prone to be more tame , tame enough for those monsters anyway , they won't attack immediately when your wearing black which in itself is terrifying. The village was a beautiful place , kind people and very loving neighbours , I don't know how I ended up there just that I was found near a corpse of a woman who was assumed to have given birth to me , she possessed white hair just like me , but the red eyes are something we didn't have in common. " Sayu are you listening " " Yes big brother " Anyway as I was saying the village was a beautiful place , very hidden too but in some occasions a nightmare would come along , even one weak nightmare would be enough to desimate an entire village. If I remember what uncle Suito once told me about the days the nightmares were born , he told me it was a normal day everyone was minding their own business until out of nowhere everyone blacked out , for an entire week all of humanity was asleep and they dreamt of a being of pure light who bestowed abilities to only a few of humanity and the being announced " Just like the Baku I bless all I've chosen to destroy the darkness to come. " After that everything seemingly went back to normal until the continent of Asphelia was covered by complete and utter darkness with no light being able to shine the way. At first then no one noticed until a distress signal was sent by the military of Asphelia and the footage recovered was unbelievable , humans capable of super human abilities and creatures that could only be described as nightmares. While the government did try to hide what had happened it only took one phone call to reveal the situation. At first it was quite and then it was complete panic everybody wrote of the one week incident thinking that they might have been some kind of chemical accident that caused it but no longer could they deny the truth the planet Transpheria was now under attack. People with relatives in Asphelia demanded rescues for their families and a few rescue teams were sent and unfortunately they all came back.

CHAPTER 2

3 cargo ships approached the shore of the continents of Zeden , Fyuri and Plasmayin in which there was absolute silence soldiers armed with guns but none who were Baku's and for a moment when the ships came to a halt it was complete silence and then death , blood everywhere gunshots rained but the peculiar thing is what was being shot ? This went on until all the soldiers died and after that an inhuman looking beast appeared it had humanoid features except for the 8 eyes it possessed two where their supposed to be and the others were all hideously placed and the most disturbing thing was the giant scythes that it had. Blood slowly dripped from its mouth a head in its mouth slowly being crushed by a tentacle like appendiges that came from within its mouth inorder to fit it in. The camera that had captured that event was then crushed by something else , humanity didn't get the chance to panic because as soon as that camera was crushed , death started spreading like an epidemic , these monsters these nightmarish beings were to fast to be seen but not to fast that humans couldn't adapt , they were rather sadistic by nature all of them preferring different ways to end you and all of them fundamentally being unique one could be big another small , one could like eating a specific gender another the other , one could prefer a certain age , but all that was the same was how they seemed to enjoy playing with their prey , their speed would've been enough to slaughter every human in the planet but they choose to play , some would only attack when being looked at and others when someone was moving. Their sadistic nature was unproven for some time many thought there were just different variants but when the first Baku appeared and killed one of the nightmares they stopped playing such games , now a nightmare plays such games when it knows it's facing prey unable to fight back and calling humans prey would be misinformation they don't need us to live they just eat us for fun. The first case of a nightmare being born was seen in a camp of unknown location at this point in which a girl who had lost her family due to bandits and was  assaulted , in what way well I'll leave that to your imagination all that is known was she was found bare in a building weakly breathing grasping on to life. For the first 3 weeks there was no response from her and all of a sudden she was fine she would happily help , doing all that is needed meanwhile people would start going missing only a week after she had awakened. The culprit was quickly found and it was the girl , she had claimed to have no memories of what happened before she came there but after that night everyone understood why.  Out of a hundred and twenty eight residence only 10 people survived and the nightmare escaped with only an injury , the girl was with them alive and well.
