in the distant future
a city lay dormant, no life left.
not after this war, surely...

everywhere is ruble, just dusty bricks and boulders that used to be buildings remain...

within one of the last standing walls there hides a boy. He knows nothing of the outside world, for he has been trapped there since he could remember. His physical vision is restored, and he can see more then any other human. With his control over his own physical being returns, he slowly breaks down the remainder of the wall, slowly expanding his world from his mental into the physical.
once the wall finally collapses and the dust settles...there is movement, the boy fall into the dust and it is now encased his being, entangled in his straight long hair, he slowly sits him self up into a crossed leg position. With his arms being the strongest at the moment, he started to control his breathing, and eventually sat up straight as he plays with his hair, making it knot and tangle up with the dust, "well if it's going to be a mess..." he says to him self before standing up and walking through what was once streets.
as his hair slowly takes shape he gets a sniff of death and destruction, it sickens him at first, however when it leads to the remains of what used to be organic, the smell becomes bliss as he begins to chow down on the corpse, and begins to regain a physical presence.

he made the first step into the physical realm by first of all imagining that he existed. He has many a power that mere humans can not conceive of...yet

as he finished eating what he considered to be edible, vultures, came near by to finish off what he had not picked off. setting the bones down near the vultures, he walks to the side, and meditates waiting for the vultures to show him where he must go next

This will be the main story, with my notes in lj-cuts, however additions will be added as comments, so that they can be restricted into the main story

as the vultures ripped off the remaining meat they are unaware of the dust storm forming around them. once the bones are the only thing left, and slowly turn to dust joining the rest of the storm, the vultures look around. they have become blind to there area, and take flight into the storm. they do not know exactly what will happen but are willing to take the risk.

as they near the storm, it settles as our hero gets up to follow. As the birds fly through the sky at a much higher pace then what a human can run, we find our hero jumping instead of running.
"the rocky grounds that would normally slow a human down, become the upthrust that i need to follow" i mutter to my self as i find my body performing flips, and jumps from one rock to another, instead of traveling in the perfectly straight line that the birds take, i take a more chaotic route at a faster past, allowing me to stay no more then half a mile behind the birds.

As they fly onto a desert land, i see a city in the distance, and flip from the last stone onto the desert. looking back over where i have been, i have trouble working out how far i've traveled let alone where i started from, "seeing as nothing caught my attention in that direction, i guess..."

With a mystic force pushing him, he flys backwards across the desert until he adjust his physical form into running across the desert towards the city. However it stays for ever in the distance.

slowing down i see an oasis, and slowly wonder over to it. around the oasis are trees, that seem to just reach into the heavens, they flourish because they protected the water source from the heat allowing it to gather in one location, slowly trickling over some rocks, where a girl showers from the heat, nothing on her apart from two combat belts, one around her chest, and one around her waist.

"CAN I HELP YOU?" she cries out as she catches the boy staring,
"If you do not mind, some drinking water would be nice, or maybe i can join you in a shower?"
the girl squints at the boy, and slowly swims to the side where her clothes lay. steeping out from the shelter of the trees, the reaming water just evaporates instantly before she steps back in with a leather trench coat that drops to her knees, where also a black skirt finished and socks covered by netted stockings begin. Both combat belts are only partially shown, the waist one is missing something, most likely tucked under the skirt and holding her stockings up, where as just the straps across her chest are shown through the top of the jacket.
"so whats your name then?"

the boy was confused by this question, being the only thing to have ever existed before today, he did not even have a name for the creatures that guided him to the desert let alone him self.
"I'm sorry to be a 'de moeite nemen', however even though i understand your question, i do not know the answer, because i believe i do not know it..."

i like to break down language, and part of that is by using alternative languages. if you wish to know what i am saying, i suggest you use google translate for as you can see it's what i'm using to de moeite nemen you

The girl shock her head and begin to cross the pool of water to inspect the naked boy, "i guess i was a bit defensive there, but seeing as you mean no harm at present, then i shall offer the olive branch" the boy slowly took more form, becoming more of a teenage build, he had a skinny, but tallish build, about 6ft in height, and curves from his chest to his stomach, back to his hips. He didn't look ill, just... flexible, "my names Cleo, it's nice to meet you... " she put her hand out to shake hands, "who ever you are."
The guy grabbed the girls hand in a sign of trust, before it was quickly relieved that his trust was hastily given, and she pulls him up close, lips almost touching, she throws him over her shoulder and into the body of water.

"sometimes suspicion is helpful"

The character is so new that his name does not yet exists. if you can think of one, please suggest, and i may include it.

also please feel free to post comments that are part of the story, that is what the comment section is for

"Well if i'm going to take this kid back to the city i might as well make him something to wear..." as she places a hand onto a tree, she draws a gun and fires nothing into it's foliage. with each squeeze of the trigger leaves descend around her, and the bark of the tree begin to shred off as the boy watches her do this from the oasis, she grabs a knife hidden up her skirt, and throws it behind her...

as it comes hurtling towards me i see no fear in the knife, instead it runs across the top of my head, slicing small hairs that stand out from the crowd, as it loops back, it shaves the hair from the side, before looping down the middle taking out a thin strip that stops half way down the back of his head. as it slides to the ground it starts to slice the hair on the shaved side bringing the hair to a point about mid waist length, it slices up the other side, and begins to cut the hair on the other side of his head. the knife makes several passes through his hair slowly giving it form

the girl had just finished making one leg for the trousers, it wasn't the best quality trousers she had made, but then again the material sucked. starting on the other leg, she soon changes it to more of a dress style, with a wrap around effect for the created leg. the bandages that where originally bark take form in the sun, with a meshing laid over the top of it to keep some structure to the strips that are slowly softening.

grabbing the knife, i take a look at my self in the reflectivity of the shinny blade, not even a drop of blood on the blade. As i concentrate on the blade my reflection in the body of water becomes more obvious so i take the knife and begin to shave close with it, one eye on my reflection the other on the beauty sat on the land. the knife slips and a cut is made across my jaw bone, it's deep and quickly turns the water red.

"GET THE FUCK OUT NOW" as Cleo ties the last thread into place on the clothing, she darts across the water, one hand lowered ready to grab the guy from the water. "SHIT SHIT SHIT" she gasps as her hand collides with mine, she flies straight up, just as the water disappears from around me, and several very sharp objects make them selves shown in the water.

i'm trying to leave this open so that you decide the fine details

"you never allow blood into the water..." she explains while she catches her breath back, "...theres, clothes over, there" she says as i wonder about the creature that attacked us, before i turn to the clothing, "wow... tank you... hope i can repay another time"
"yea well just get dressed, where heading into town, and naked doesn't go down too well." she regained her posture, cracked her neck, and pulled the jacket into position, "love the hair, but hurry up getting dressed" she projects before beginning to walk into the desert and towards the city

entering the city

a street merchant is the first to see the two walking into the city. He recognizes Cleo...almost everyone in the city did. She was the number one most wanted citizen of the city, and yet no-one dare risk their lives for the bounty, and those who did, soon found out why she is so wanted.

nobody really even noticed her friend, they all just tried to look away, and pretend that they hadn't seen either one of them, until the lad stopped at a store, and looked over the many bars and sheets he had for sale. The ones that interested the man was a 5 foot bar, and a foot long sheet, about 4 inches in width. The more interest he took in the objects, the more the man relaxed, and slowly and quietly the price of both pieces.
"My friend, even though i have an interest in these objects, i have nothing to barter with you..."
"Then erm..." by this point Cleo had stopped and was looking rather angry with the lad, "...you may simply take the items" the store keeper had mistaken Cleos look of frustration as aimed at him, not the customer."
"I'll tell you what, I will take them, however i promise to return to you for more, once i have molded these into something more useful, where then i will barter with you for new resources. Agreed?" the man held his hand out to show trust...
"yes yes, please take anything, just please don't hurt me..." the man was now shaking in his boots as he felt Cleos gaze burn a hole into his face. This made our hero look at Cleo, "ok i'm coming..." sliding the metal into his skirt it bends and takes shape around a leaf, where as the bar stayed in his hand and he carried it to her.

alone

"Look right, I know all this is new to you, however i have tasks to do in and around the town, so if i disappear, do not fear, i shall catch up to you later." Cleo said as she ran her finger over his scar, "looks like you need some time to your self any ways, i see you have things to keep you occupied." Cleo took off towards a tavern, "you are old enough to drink aren't you?" she asked as she opened the door to enter.
producing a fake ID from his back pocket he showed her it...
"Thats a damn good fake..." she thinks to her self before entering the bar, and walking to a crowd in a darkened corner.

walking up to the bar, i ask "can i get a drink for free? and maybe some work so that i can pay off my debt to you?"
"eye laddie, that i think i can do, you be needin a room ah well i guess?"
this new dialect threw our young hero off his train of thought, "a room did you say?"
"eye, my last sla ... 'employee' di..'left' about a month ago, and i still aint found neone willin ta work in 'ere"
"i have no better offer as to date, and i agree to work for you however, do you mind if i settle first?"
"naih lad, i'll show ya ta ya room, got any possessions?" the bar man looked at the bar in his hand, "is that all... erm.... i missed your name?"
"i do..." by now it was getting tiresome of not having a name, and thus the names "idone, ivone, iwon, ivain" all flew through his head before he threw his I.D. on the counter, which reveled him as being early 20's and having the name Silvain
"ok Sil, come with me, and i'll show you your room"

Entering the room, there is a bed with a single white sheet, and a pillow, the pillow looked comfier then the mattress, and sitting on it he soon discovers he was right. Throwing the pillow in the middle of the room, he sits crossed legged on the pillow, with the bar across his legs. as he sits there with his eyes closed he pictures nothing but the bar. it looses some length to it, and begins to take form. Some form of claw grows from both sides, on one end it slowly takes grip of something.
On the other end, the claw spreads out, standing on the ground, it digs in allowing it stabilize anyone using it for support.

The staff takes grip into the floor and the object on the top turns into the missing piece of bar. Silvain tries to remove it, however the harder he pulls the more the claw digs it's self in. The struggle between Silvain and the staff slowly starts to form a small handle. First off all small groves cut into the bar, but as Silvain gets stronger using the tools, it's soon becomes possible for him to make the handle more and more ... handle like.
once the handle is complete Silvain relies that he is only holding the handle, and the staff had some how wrapped it's self onto his back.
As the room slowly faded back into view, Silvain looks at his hands, his nails are broken, and his hands are blooded. "I guess, the new rules are more complex then I thought."

"SHIFTS STARTING"

Silvain pockets the handle, and heads down stairs to start his bar work

"the bell rings. Looking over the top of my newspaper i simply take a breath and start to sit up straight as three gentlemen enter my store. Looking at the clock i notice it's just hit midnight, and i spot the three men, each one slowly walking down individual isles, the one in the middle started to smile, before removing his right arm from the sleeve of his jacket, as it fell to the floor it slowly burned out.
Looking back down the isles, the two other men where not in there suits any more, instead one was wrapped in green flames, while the other seemed to have some sort of yellow electric wrap around.
With one more loud laugh the middle man was shot at from both sides straight, absorbing the powers he brought his face down, and looked me straight in the eyes, before unleashing something that seemed so devastating....in fact officer, i don't know how i survived."

"he reason he survived is due to evolution... not his own though. Just as the store clerk shut his eyes, someone who was thought as nothing more then a homeless bum stood in the path of the blast, "evolution is still traveling relatively slowly i see"
The four men were still stood in the same place, however there was very little left of the city, one of the boys talked, "where the fuck are we?"
"we are at your destination..."
"what the fu.." the leader cut him short, "This isn't my direction old man, i just nee..."
"we know" replied the old man, "that's why there training shall begin, and shall end with me, YOU have to escape before there bodies are discovered.

Back in the cahrgrilled store, the middle man flips a hood over his face, and his suit shifts into a lighter grey before he disappears from sight
