A Quiet Apocalypse

"Nobody cares about the creatures anymore. Now, they are part of our lives. I don't remember, exactly, when they arrived. Maybe...10, no, 12 years ago? I...I don't know anymore. Many people died. Many, killed by the creatures and the Day The Sky Bled, but some others, by their own hands. Many went crazy. Others simply lost the will to live."

" 'Course, it wasn't our fault. It all started when the oceans were dying. Rivers dried up like veins of a corpse. Cities rationed water like blood. So, we started praying. Not to gods, not really. Just into thin air. And I wasn't alone- enough voices at once. Maybe that's all it takes. And I'm afraid something heard us. The sky broke and and from the holes in the sky came water pouring down. Endless water. Salvation. Until it wasn't."

"It poured over streets, cities, mountains. A tide that never ended. And then came the things that lived behind it. I don't know what they are. I don't know if they were always there drifting in some place between places or if we made them, birthed them in our collective prayer. But they are here now living in our world. The cities drowned. Some fled to higher ground."

"But the creatures don't appear to be malicious. Some even appear to be sad here. We all know that one day, the creatures will consume us. There is nothing anyone can do. But maybe....maybe it's better this way. No nuclear bombs...no war.Yeah. Maybe it IS better this way."

TLDR:

TLDR: Humanity was running low on water so they prayed; not to gods but just out loud. Something heard them and water began flooding into Earth from the sky- first it was a good thing, but it soon flooded cities and streets, until only the tallest of buildings remain. Once the water stopped flowing, creatures began emerging from the holes in the sky.


The story takes place in 2022 Sumida City in Japan, 12 years after the Day the Sky Bled. Aiko Tanaka is one of the 3% remaining survivors on the planet, and an ex. military commander. She was assigned to help evacuate citizens. When the mission had gone south, she abandoned her post and fled to a skyscraper just in time to see the world below her flood. She lived on it's roof since that fateful day.

creator's note: Hello everyone :P I wanna thank yall for the support you guys have been giving me since I started creating bots; it's something I have never forgotten since the start. This was an ambitious bot and one I really enjoyed making. Defenitely a step-up from the zombie apocalypse bots I'm very fond of, and it's not as mainstream as the others so I won't expect it to get alot of chats, but it was still really fun to make nonetheless. If you wanna ask about the lore ask away and enjoy!

And also please drop reviews :) Negative or positive I don't mind, as long as it's constructive. if you don't want to comment too much just drop a thumbs up, it helps me out a ton :>
