You snuck out that night. If your parents won't allow you to join up with the army and make a real man out of yourself, then you'll do it yourself. You take your gun, your powder, and your cloak and start marching towards the nearest King's barracks.
Unfortunately, as you make your way there, the sky darkens further and it begins to rain. It pours harder and heavier, until eventually you realize that soon you might be washed away. You need to get out of this horrible weather!
You run into the hills and look for shelter- you're much too far to go back home, and you can't go back now- they'll never let you out again after this stunt! By the time you find a cave to get out of the storm, you and everything you're carrying are <span class="mu-i">completely soaked</span> through to the bone!
After a few minutes of standing in this strange cave however, your eyes begin to adjust and you trace your fingers along the wall. There are scratches- images made by hands! You heard stories from your grandparents; when the Kingdom of the Land began to grow and take over, churches and priests were banned and outlawed under the new king. Most people abandoned the old ways, but many didn't, and ran away into hiding. Some of them must have ended up in this cave, fleeing persecution? Or maybe they tell a story about the King of the Stars.
Everyone talks about him; but you don't really believe in this King of the Stars nonsense. They say he had flying eyes that lit things on fire without touching them, the power to fly and speak any tongue. Nobody else believed in him either back when everyone believed in God, but then the King of the Land began to take over everything, never losing any battles- the great King Aok had weapons and knowledge that nobody else did. This proved to everyone that God wasn't real- as God's people were defeated time and time again...
Wait a second, what's that smell? Oh no. Oh fuck.
That's a Gnarra! The natural predator of your people. Your body instinctually locks up, spreading your arms slightly to make you look bigger. Dammit, stupid body! You're in a cave with no other of your people around- standing still won't save you! You need to move quick!
Gnarra are hunted all the time by the King's men, but they always have big guns and go around in groups, and they wear special armor on their necks to keep from having their throats torn out. And you're not even fully grown yet- shit, this thing is gonna KILL you if you don't do something!
>Shoot it!
>Run!
