Chapter One: Into the Fire

Prologue: One Of The Fallen
I opened my eyes. Everything was blurry, and my mind could barely form a coherent thought. Around me lay the bodies of five humans other than myself. They were messed up pretty badly. Throats slit, disemboweled, and one was even decapitated. I could immediately see...

Prologue: Strange Mad Man

Prologue: Twins
A black as night BMW sedan drove down the front path to Beacon Academy. Nobody knew how it got there, or what a BMW even was, as Remnant never had a car manufacturer know as BMW, but sure enough, the silver on the grill was very much BMW's logo. The engine was smooth and quiet...
