Chapter 1

ZENO Chronicles

.

In 2030 the world as we knew it perished before our eyes. What started off as a quest to save the world ended up destroying it. In 2020, scientist decided to make a serum named Roth in order to enhance our senses touch, sight, smell, hearing and taste. The serum caused havoc when greedy people decided they were going to use it to make human biological weapons. Over a hundred thousand boys and men were forcefully drafted for testing Roth. Two years later a disaster struck earth when Roth mutated causing a disease the elders now call Rothian. It is air born and it presents its self in three stages, first stage is a high fever, second stage is ringing ears and third stage is bleeding ears then immediate death. Seven continents were reduced to three continents the elders named Zaive, Evoir and Luna. The world has been in turmoil ever since looking for an antidote. People were segregated according to who got Roth before it mutated. Those who had complete mutation were called the Lunares and they now reside in Luna. Those that were born with half mutation were called the Zaivenors and lastly the humans that did not get any mutation were called the Evoiry.The drafted men were never heard of again, rumor has it that they the live underground away from prying eyes.

Zeno!! How many times should I call you before I grow grey hairs? called Aunt Joe standing in the doorway.

Aunt Joe I was just reading up on our history, I said rushing to wear my white dirty vans

Yeah in a couple of years they will be reading about your dreadful death if we don’t get a move on. Come on spot the hover will be here in a couple of minutes she said completely closing the door.

Ok I`m coming jeez! I said as I packed the last of my belongings and my favorite book named the Tales of Roth. Books became extinct in 2035 when King Lee the 4th from the Luna continent decided to burn all the books. People speculate that he is possessed by the devil.

Aunt Joe and me are moving to Zaive she has just been contracted as an in house nurse for one of the war Lord`s Eric Nam, apparently his son Luke has contracted Rothian. The Evoiry have a status that is equal to that of a slave since we do not poses any powers like the Lunares or have strength like the Zaivenors. We are only contracted if we have skills these two continents do not have, and health workers have become extinct trying to care for people with Rothian.

The hover arrived and two men dressed in black overalls came to up to the plane.

  Hello Miss Joe! Captain Rosewood reporting from headquarters. One of the men said with his hands in a salutation position.

Oh my, please lose the formality you are making me look old said Aunt Joe waving him off.

 The hover took off a soon as we scanned our identity chips that are on our wrists.

 Aunt Joe, I found myself calling out!

 Yes pumpkin! she shouted back.

Are you not scared? I asked looking down from the window.

 Me no I am not scared, I`m terrified answered Aunt Joe!
