"Hey you!" Ivy called out to the figure. He appeared to be punching rocks for some moronic reason. "Where is everyone?"

Shalun was working in the fields when the blast hit and woke up finding his world completely changed from what it was a minute ago. "By the creators! What happened?" He said, his mind replied "I told you so Shalun" "You said 'Your life would change forever!' I thought you meant I would have a good harvest!" Said a angry Shalun "should have listened" sighed his mind "well what should I do know!?" said Shalun, "Whatever you like" his mind said back "Great" Shalun said sarcastically

Guy looked over the the girl behind him and shouted
"I don't know town I guess" he said shrugging before punching at the rock again, his breaking it in half. Most people would noticed she was new, but he himself did not care to talk to people, and knew no one in turn as punishment.

"To be honest, I'm not quite sure what happened. All I remember was the feeling of a huge concussion wave, so I put up a barrier to protect myself. After that it all went blank." Nahite said as he guided Arabella through the warehouse door. Those words echoed in Nahite's head, bringing upon many questions. "What could have done this?" he wondered. "This place is a barren wasteland now, and I fear life is going to be rough from here on out." he said to Arabella. Curious as to what was in town, Nahite walked outside to see if anyone was there. Upon seeing nothing he said, "Hey Arabella, I'm going to check out the town. Do you want to come with me?"

Shalun, awfully confused about everything, decided that it would probably be safest if he went back to his home, so he gathered as much food as he could find in the field, where he worked, and set off to his home. Shalun lived in derelict old warehouse, which was ignored by passing strangers or seemed abandoned to more observant ones for it was in constant need of repair which Shalun never had enough money to do. As he reached closer to his home he noticed that the strange looking cat that was opposite his home was gone. His mind then abruptly said "Be ready" and to Shaluns annoyance said no more.

Arabella felt her hand brush against the door frame and she knew they were in a building. Her feline ears twitched as she looked in the direction his voice was coming from and nodded. "Yes, please." She said, not really wanting to be left alone in an unfamiliar place.

Shalun, never sure about what exactly his mind means, grabbed a stick of derelict metal roughly shaped like a sword and hid behind a ruin of building, where the odd looking cat previously housed itself, and awaited whatever danger awaited for him.

"You two go ahead, I am going to take a nap" Kaleel said. He then went to the mattress and went to sleep almost immediately, not listening to whatever they said, if they said anything.

Shalun impatient about waiting for what ever was supposed to come, poked his head around the corner to see two people, in HIS warehouse at that! Shalun decided it would be best to stay where he was and knock them out when he could get behind them.

Ivy started walking across the street towards the boy punching rocks. "Why don't you know anyone?" A smile creeped across Ivy's face "Are you from out of town as well? How did you survive the blast? Do you know what caused it? Why are you punching rocks? Where are you from? Why are you so short?" The questions tumbled out of her mouth, and she was sure all of her questions were incomprehensible, except maybe the last one. "What are you doing?" Ivy asked again, "And do you know if there's any good place to stay for the night? Like a hotel or something? All the buildings look the same." Ivy shrugged and awkwardly readjusted her belt. It's probably not the best night to stay outside after everything that's happened...

Guy stopped punching the rock and turned to her with an angry face.
"who you callin short,your just real big that's all" he said sternly
"as for the blast, I don't have the slightest clue, and I survived it by toughing it out.

Shalun eventually GOT BORED WAITING FOR SOMETHING TO HAPPEN (!!!!!) when his mind said "A lonely miner beats the rock not with hammer but win his soul while a young lady see more to herself than there actually is". Shalun was intrigued by this and went in search of these people for surely the people invading his home would not do anything more to it while he was away?

Ivy looked around the barren wasteland. "You toughed this out?" She was slightly less skeptical of his ability to punch rocks with his bare hands now, and decided this guy was probably not the best person to piss off. "I'm really sorry about your...uhm...height...but it's not like I'm that tall either?" Ivy put a hand on top of her head just to make sure she hadn't morphed into a giant in the last five minutes. She laughed then collapsed to the ground. crap crap crap her vision was flooded full of images of the events of the previous day. One showed the giant blast, and then the two boys kneeling over the cat girl, the boy who was in front of her a second ago, then people she hadn't seen yet started flashing by. A mysterious man in black armor, a slender girl who appeared to be healing herself, a messy looking boy sitting in an orphanage, a snake man seeking cover just as the blast hits, then the explosion plays backwards showing Ivy something she hadn't noticed before, the blast exploded...outwards...which means the reason Torens wasn't obliterated was because it was the eye of the storm. Ivy gasped and opened her eyes again.

Guy looked at the girl confused now.
"hey buddy you ok? most people don't just fall to the floor" he said putting a hand out to help
he was a gentleman, even if she called him a pipsqueak. He back kick the rock, and it finally broke in half, making his day at work officially over.
"hey lady you ok? Maybe you should get some rest, I live just outside town, more the survivors should be coming there soon "
He really didn't want to bring her home, and would be hassled by everyone the next day, but he knew it was the right thing to do, and maybe someone would come and pick her up for him.

His mind ended up leading him to a mine where a man presumably the rock beater, for his hand was bloody was standing over a woman on the ground.

Guy looked up at the man and put his hands up to show his innocents.
"hey hey hey I swear it's not what it looks like, she just feel over, I swear"

He mind ticked over, what was this man doing? Was he a sinister one or a truthful man? His mind spoke "He has as much temper as stone in the mine and a roughness bred only from neglect and hardship" And what should I do then? he asked his mind "..." It said back, Asshole, Shalun thought.. He looked at the man "What happened?"

Guy slowly put his hand down and pointed at the girl.
"she just held her head and fell over" he knew it sounded like a terrible lie, but it was the truth, he didn't want to lie
"maybe she had a concussion?" he said

A killer and a lier Shalun thought. Shalun felt for the sword like object he found and luckily he still had it and walked closer to the man "walk back from the body" he said calmly.

Guy put his hands back up and stepped away from ivy, he noticed the man pat a weapon, and despite his martial art training, he'd rather not dance with death.
"there's a town nearby, maybe take her there" he said his hands still high
