There was a strange ache in the back of his head as he sat up, like someone had thrown stones repeatedly against his skull. His eyes snapped open, but what he saw was nothing like the normally pale tan walls of his bedroom. Miles upon miles of barren land (or what seemed to be) stretched before him, the ground covered in thick layers of black and gray ash.
His heart slammed against his chest, and he wondered briefly if he was dreaming. But it felt to vivid to be a dream; and he could feel pain in the back of his head. You didn't feel pain in dreams, he remembered his mother telling him once.
He stood, blinking. Gray clouds hung heavy over the land, rapidly turning darker and darker. Where was he?
He took several tentatively steps forward, looking around wildly. There, a sign of life! He could see people not to far away, and he took off toward where they were, ignoring the pain in his head. "Hey!" He called as he neared them. "Do you know..." He drew off suddenly, a shudder spreading through his body. There were ten girls, standing hand in hand around something burning. But nothing about the sight was normal, even if girls standing around fire was odd enough. The girls eyes were solid white, no pupil or sign of life, reminding him of the full moon. Their faces were bruised, bleeding, rotted, hands malformed and fingers broken, wrists laying limp in another girls hand.
The flames roared, the faint shapes of large cats leaping inside the flames, flickering in and out. The girls chanted under their breathes, their skipping ceased, and their heads lowered, eyes flickering shut. Promptly, they fell, the flames burning out, leaving only smoking embers behind, and the girls themselves rose again, eyes now black instead of white.
One staggered to her feet, turning to him, her head twisted at a scarily abnormal angle, as if her neck had been snapped.
She advanced on him, slowly, a leg dragging behind her. Panic struck his chest, and he bolted, ash rising in thick clouds around him. He coughed, racing blindly. Anything to get away from those...creatures. He knew they were following him, he could hear their footsteps, their bloodthirsty shrieks.
He wondered, briefly, if he had been thrown into another dimension, where zombies existed. Was he in a zombie apocalypse, he wondered, as he burst into a clearing. The sky was pitch black, except for the full moon, hanging heavy in the sky. Wasn't it daylight minutes before? Where did the zombie girls go?
A snarl filled his ear, and he had a feeling something was behind him. He whipped around, his heart stopping for more beats then normal. A wolf, or what resembled a, stood behind him. But it was massive, about seven feet tall. It stood on it's hind legs, it's back hunched and front legs drawn into it's chest. It's face was longer then that of a normal wolf, eyes glittering a feral amber. Blood and saliva dripped from it's jaws, lips pulled back to reveal sharp fangs. It's fur was a gorgeous silver, but torn and bleeding.
His throat went dry, and he couldn't make a noise. Then he turned, and bolted. Would he make it out alive? Probably not, but it was worth a chance. He ran faster then he ever had before, and somehow his speed almost felt inhuman. A building loomed not to far away, and his heart soared. Maybe he would make it out alive after all.
He heard the slamming of paws, and the howls from the wolf, but he pushed onward. The door of the building flung open, a pale-haired girl standing in the doorway. "Get in!" She shrieked. And he did so, skidding into the building, the door closing inches from where his foot had been.
The wolf creature flung itself at the door, clawing and biting, but it couldn't get in, somehow.
"W-what is that? W-who are y-you?" He stammered.
"Werewolf." She replied grimly. "I'm Christina, you?"
"J-Jackson. W-what is this p-place?"
She gave a grim smile, her eyes darkening. "Well, Jackson. Welcome to the Burning World."
Summary: Those between the ages of twelve and twenty six will awaken to a different world then anything they have ever seen. Wild cats made of fire, moon and shadow eyed zombies, raging werewolves, bloodthirsty vampires and vanishing ghosts are just a few of the creatures you'll meet when you wake.
If you manage to get to the Homebase without getting killed by any of these creatures, you'll find a sanctuary. But not without a price. You and the people you will meet in this Homebase have been infected by one of these five creatures: Werebat, Weretiger, Siren, Vampire, or Werewolf. Every full moon you will transform into these creatures against your will.
Work with your allies at the Homebase, search for clues, and find a way out of the alternate dimension. Oh, and watch out for the Moonshadow's on your way out the door.
CREATURES THAT LIVE IN THE BURNING WORLD
Moonshadow's: Essentially, Zombies. They are drawn to fire, and only once a certain ritual is complete will they become harmful. Hunt in packs.
Pixie: Deceitful tricksters. Smaller then the average human, only around two feet tall, or less. Dragonfly like wings, and they only speak in rhymes or riddles. Following one of these creatures could make or break your life, so take caution.
Unicorn: Massive horses, larger then the biggest Shire. Silver, gold, white or black, with glowing, star-specked horns and pelts. Alluring creatures, living in herbs. Foals and Mares will lure you in, and then the lead Stallion will kill you, and eventually, eat you.
Centaur: One of the few creatures you can trust in the Burning World. Half human, half horse, often living in herds, and are the 'Guardian's' of the Burning World. Rare to see, but if they find you in danger, they will safe you.
Chimera: A three headed, fire-breathing creature. Lion body, and lion head, a goat head, and a snake-headed tail, with the wings of a hawk. Deadly if you cross paths. Loners.
Harpy: Hawk-winged people, with the legs of a bird-of pray, and moon like eyes, similar to the Moonshadow's. Hunt in flocks.
Medusa: The queen of all Creatures, and the only one of her kind. From the waist up, she is a woman. From the waist down, she is a snake. Snakes replace her hair, and her stare is deadly, and will turn you to stone.
CREATURES THAT YOUR CHARACTER WILL BE INFECTED AS
Note: Your character will ONLY be transformed on the night of the FULL MOON, and no other time. Transformations are painful, and you have no control over it at all.
Werebat: The moment the full moon touches the edge of the sky, you will be transformed into a massive bat-like creature, though with large fangs. You will completely lose your human mind, taken over by the bloodthirsty instincts of the Werebat. Transformations are painful, and you may be killed by another creatures. Go carefully, Werebat, and control the beast inside you before it consumes you and every human instinct you have completely.
Weretiger: Almost the same as the Werebat. The moment the full moon touches the sky, you will be transformed into a raging tiger, with no control over the flesh-hungry beast. Go careful.
Siren: Half human, half fish. Scales are midnight black, navy blue or bright silver in color. Shape-shifters, often looking like a very pretty mermaid or handsome merman to lure other humans in with their song, but their true form in a fanged, flesh-eating, clawed Siren.
Vampire: Translucent, red-eyed, pale-skinned, blood-sucking humanoids. Often drinks the blood of were-creatures, humans, unicorns or centaurs.
Werewolf: 7-8 foot tall wolf. Often their face in malformed, their back hunched, front legs normally drawn into its chest and walking on their hind legs. Incredibly fast runners.
