I have started a journal to tell the events that transpires through my life. My name is Garet Matthew Ikatashi and I have gone through a series of twisted and horrifying turn of events the last few days. The city I live in is known as Titan City, named after the moon we live on. Titan is one of Saturn's moons that was terraformed and colonized over a millennia ago. What I learned in school was that the moon was toxic and unlivable. So they threw asteroids and comets into it to make the Chemicals easier to control. Then they colonized and grew plants back from Earth so that the atmosphere would be breathable. Once the air was breathable they began to create settlements to allow more people to live in. After some time our city was born.

About 500 years ago people began to have effects that would cause their body to not work. Apparently the DNA in our body was not working correctly. A group of scientists decided to use animal DNA to help our DNA to function normally. It was an ingenious idea but to a radical group they thought it was not normal and thus had to be stopped. This group is known today as "The Executioners". Anyone who is caught with animal DNA was to be executed. I wish that these people would stop killing. There's too much pain and suffering now. I feel I may be targeted soon.

My apologies for the blood spots on the pages as I tell my story. When I was born I was diagnosed with Angel syndrome. The tear ducts secrete blood instead of saline when I cry of sadness or joy. My parents went to EVO Central to cure me of this misfortune. The doctors told them when I was five years old I could have my DNA modified. When the time came I was put into a large vessel where cables, tubes and a breathing apparatus were hooked up to me. They filled the container with a gooey liquid like honey. For days they injected DNA from different animals into me until they found the right combination to stop the blood. My parents still have to administer treatments mostly to ease the burden of my suffering. Whenever I cried too much I would need to get blood to put back in me. My parents never wanted me to feel miserable. Dad would tell me of strong people who rarely cried from being strong for too long. Once I turned ten I had no need for the treatments. I still cry blood once in a while but not as much. A few days ago I use to have a normal family who would live their days through life as usual. I have or should say I had a mother and a father. My twin sister, Eris, is still alive barely. Also I have another sibling upon waking up from the accident that occurred.

We heard the streets were becoming even more dangerous. The Executioners were hunting people even more than usual. In the news it was reported that people were being killed by poisons, traps, and explosions. One day my sister and I were going to school after getting out of our parent's car. Suddenly, I heard an explosion. Quickly I turned toward the sound and saw my sister being flung into me. The lower part of her arms was charred by the flames and a piece of shrapnel shredded through the left side of her abdomen. All I saw was the piece coming at me as I ducked. I wasn't quick enough as my left eye was wounded. Blood began to gush out as I screamed in pain. Disoriented I grabbed my sister and took my jacket off to cover her arms. Then I looked back at the wreckage that my parents were in. I assumed the worst as it hit me. The target was really me. This suffering was my fault as I was the one who had animal DNA. Soon a group of men and women surrounded my sister and I. Was this really the end for us both? "Do you wish for strength to protect those you hold dear?" as a voice spoke. I looked around and said "Yes, please help me. I don't want it to end like this. I still have much to do in this world." Soon the Executioner started to back up in shock. It was my shadow that speaks. "Do not fear me for my name is Ragnarok, Demon Lord of Shadows. I will lend you my strength, but you must help in purifying these tainted souls." Soon he, my shadow, changed form and started to coat me in darkness. At that instant pillars of bones stuck out of the ground around us. Skeletons began to form and fend off The Executioners, until all was dark.

I found myself in the dark abyss with candles lit around me and what looked like a tombstone with strange writing etched into it. Soon I saw a skeletal figure with three eyes, two protruding horns, a gray robe and a scythe with three skulls and what look like ribs and fingers covering the blade. He looked at me with a slumped stance. His hand waved over the tombstone. Soon the lettering peeled off and started circling us both. To my amazement my soul came out of my chest and hovered over the stone. He waved again and skeletons of different shapes and sizes in robes appeared around us and began to kneel and speak in a strange language similar to Latin. These figures sounded like they were chanting a spell of sort. The lettering circled my soul and was absorbed by it. My soul lowered itself into the stone and the lettering changed. I could finally read it.

The stone read as follows:

A soul that suffers must weep.

A heart that beats must love.

A mind that thinks must learn.

A body that aches must heal.

A shadow that follows must guide.

The communion of all creates life.

This life is a flame that casts a shadow.

It is done.

Soon everything around me faded away. The shadow that cover me receded. The Executioners around me were consumed by their shadows and began to attach to mine. Slowly their shadows drug their bodies towards mine. "These Souls were filled with tainted ideals." said Ragnarok. Soon they were no more. My shadow let out a burp. I asked "Are you satisfied Ragnarok?" "Indeed I am. You will come to understand who I am. I understand you more than you do young one." Soon the world began to blur. I had forgotten I lost a lot of blood as I collapsed on my sibling.

I awoke startled. Was that a dream or did it just happen. Quickly I realized I was in a different location. I remember some of the items placed around me. It was EVO Central that I was in. Looking around I saw my sister lying in a chair next to my bed. "Eris, Eris wake up!" It dawned on me that her arms were replaced with mechanical ones. "Oh Eris, why did this happen?" as I began to cry tears of blood. She woke up dazed, then looked at me and frowned. "Oh Bubby don't cry I'm here!" as she grabbed a tissue to wipe my tears away. She hugged me and cried. "I can't believe what happened to them. They're gone. There's nothing left but skeletons." she exclaimed.

"Oh good you're awake. I was worried the treatment wouldn't work." as a doctor in a lab coat walked in. "What treatment?" as I asked. Eris pointed at my left eye. I place my left hand on my bandages and clenched my bed sheets with the other. "I'm going to take it off now. Your new eye that we grew should be better than the old one. What a mess it was. Any deeper and it would have hit your brain and killed you. Good thing you didn't remove the piece of metal or you would have bled out. Where did you learn that from? "Our grandma, she's a healer of such!" Eris replied happily.

The doctor began to unbind the bandages that covered my eye. As soon as it was off, another person walked in. He looked a few years older than my sister and I. "Pretty sweet eye dude!" he said in a suave tone. "Oreci I told you not to come in here yet!" the doctor replied. "Jeez dad I wanted to check out my bro," as he leered at his father. "What the what?!?" I barked as I was trying to see things through my eye. After a few seconds things started to become focused. "Yeah we all have the same mom but different dads. I'm your half-brother The old fart over there is my dad." As Oreci crossed his arms while leaning on the doorway. Eris handed me a mirror as I look at my eye. "Watch your mouth boy!" as his father scolded with a finger pointed at him. The mirror fell and shattered "What is this? This is not a normal eye it's... it's, what is this?!" as I yelled. "Oh that is a wolf's eye. Thought it might help alleviate your condition" chuckled as the doctor put his hand on my shoulder. "This is not a normal eye that wolves would have. As you can see, you still see in color. Plus this allows you to have a heightened sense of smell and hearing."

More to come...
