Chronicles of Rek-hovek

Chapter 1

The world officially ended on 22nd,September, 2018.(About the time I started to write this book ;-P)

This catastrophic event was later on known as the refringement. The start of the refringement was marked by a deep purple Aurora that covered the whole Earth. Soon after the appearance of the Aurora, each and every electronic device and electrical appliance was rendered useless.

The people at that time confused this as a large scale EMP burst that was caused due to a large solar flare. Exactly 3 days after this various volcanoes around the world that had laid dormant for so long, instantaneously reignited spewing out red hot magma. What was more astonishing was that these volcanoes emerged from nowhere too!

The tectonic plates on the Earth also started to change rapidly. Due to these major changes on the Earth, the geography changed completely, 3 continents namely, North and South America and Australia were wiped out in mere weeks. Most of the Southern part of the African continent was submerged underwater too. The country of China experienced major volcanic activity and most of their population was wiped out as well.

5 months after the appearance of the purple Aurora, 70% of the human population was killed. Then all the remaining land masses were attracted towards the North Pole forming a kind of circle around it. The south pole of course sunk in the sea as well. The remaining collaborative superpowers that remained were Russia, parts of Europe, the South Asian subcontinent and it’s neighbours and the Northern part of Africa.

Due to a plethora of volcanic eruptions and the purple Aurora, the Earth was covered with a deep purple smoke worldwide. The planets magnetic fields also changed. Due to these harsh changes, the world was reset into an ice age.

After people thought that the disaster was finally over, a series of consecutive earthquakes that measured above 9 on the Richter scale shook the Earth shattering the remaining buildings that survived the apocalypse.

[7000 years later]

Humanity somehow overcame this disaster. People formed separate empires assimilating the weak nations. From this lot, three major empires being the Great Indian empire, the Holy Russian empire and the Royal African empire appeared. All the knowledge of the previous Earth was slowly lost and the remaining was treasured and hidden. In all the empires, maximum area and population belonged to the Great Indian empire as they already had a large population before the refringement.

Due to unknown reasons, after the refringement, many new species of lora and fauna appeared out of nowhere. Many humans also felt a lot of change in their body. Because of the refringement, the appearance of the human species evolved as well. It was now common to have white snow skin, no matter your residence. Hair color was also very variant. Apart from the new evolved species, teamed up according to physical appearances as well.

[And this was where the real story starts]

“You little rascal!”

As dad screamed in mocking anger I didn’t turn once and fled from our house, rushing forward towards the pink forests beside our Myrad village.

“I’ll be back before dusk tommorow!”, I replied.

“Be careful!”, my dad warned, laughing in his heart.

What a carefree youth, 15 already, hmmm,I must think about his marriage soon…..

As I rushed through the stone streets of the market, I saw my brother waiting just at the start of the forest.

“You’re late Rex.”

“Nice to see you too, Grim.”

“Let’s get going.”

I then slowed down as Grim and I walked under the deep canopy of the pink forest.
