Chapter 1. How it began.

“And God blessed them, and God said unto them, be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth”, – The Bible.

An oldster from the far part of the countryside had a granddaughter who was ill and totally thirsty already for two days. The hardly walking man covered dozens of miles on foot to reach the spring, in which there were barely a few drops left.

The stranger turned out to be a teenager, who felt that the old man had already lived enough and had to sacrifice himself for the sake of the younger ones. Because of the hunger and thirst, the guy's face was truly terrifying, it was covered with numerous sores, and his eyes seemed to say, "Don't even try to argue with me. I have no soul, no feelings. I want to live and I am going to do everything for it." Seeing this, the old man suddenly staggered and fell, holding his heart, never waking up. The young man just chuckled, took out his jug and filled it with all the water in the spring.
