Capítulo 1: prologue
A drop of rain makes no significant impact when put in an ocean however an ocean isn't an ocean without those droplets.
A large landscape vast, diverse and filled with aquatic life. Reinhard is a city that never stops receiving rain year in year out, this constant precipitation forms ocean like structures in this city that's filled with life, a city submerged in water, it's people who don't know the feel of land are forced to take canoes to every destination, a dream in a dream it envelopes them, however it's neighbouring city Arkhill isn't as fortunate as Reinhard, Arkhill is a desert, a lifeless piece of land filled with prickly plants, sand storms, silent days, loud nights, heat and deadily night whispers.
Night whispers are the demons in exile banished by the holy God of rain, who is this God? We shall find out soon enough, Arkhill, the line where the sky meets the land is all desert, only the toughest of animals species live there, a hell in sand storms and a place of Death for all of set foot there.
A stormy night, a cold night as the wind blows on Reinhard the city of rain, loud sounds of thunder that can be heard 100 Meters away from the source increase in magnitude, near the source is a gigantic settlement "Reinhard" this place receives an unimaginable amount of rainfall but this year was different, it would change one person, is it for good or for evil? I do not know we will find that out later.
Albert Gustav, a deranged scientist obsessed with the rain, he tirelessly tries to find a way to control when it rains, how much it rains and how long it rains. He has dedicated his entire 18 years desperately searching for answers, isolated for so long. He has been in the laboratory for 18 years only occasionally going out for food supplies and earth elements.
One day after thousands of failed experiments he nearly gives up, when his lab coat gets caught in the mineral processor he tries to free himself from death's clutches in this dubious struggle two elements accidentally combine. A combination Albert hasn't thought of, it makes a toxic and highly radioactive vapour that evaporates Into the atmosphere burning everything in it's path it leaves his laboratory half destroyed as he chuckles.
"I almost died didn't I?" He mutters slowly catching his breath.
As the radioactive vapour reaches the clouds it diffuses and forms a nimbus cloud ready for a down pour.
Jack stones, an average tall guy with blue eyes, they say jack's eyes symbolize water, is it a coincidence? I don't think so. He grew up with only his grandmother unfortunately she dies just as Jack gets accepted into college, he has to be strong for his first year trials, he makes it through into second year nearly a year since his grandmother passed, he has a part time job at a Cafè near his boarding house. One day as he was heading out on a canoe a heavy grey cloud forms.
"It usually rains here this shouldn't be a bother, I'll just get a little drenched" he reassured himself
But what Jack didn't know was that this cloud was polluted with the radioactive vapour that escaped Professor Albert's lab. The clouds thundered, the lightning flashed and the winds blew as his canoe wiggled left and right his canoe almost toppled over because of the waves, at that very moment only a drop of rain came from that cloud, it then proceeded to fall on his face and absorbed by his skin.
"That's it?? What the hell, I was expecting more of a storm and all I get is a drop huh-"
What Jack didn't know was that this drop would make a big difference and change his path forever.
As the vapour slowly dissolved inside him it attached itself to his red blood cells mutating his Y chromosomes at the same time accelerating his B.M.R (Basal metabolic rate), his heart rate slowed down to the point of almost becoming non existent, 0.5bps it pounded, he fell sick and collapsed into his canoe, a gigantic wave struck his vessel and toppled him and the canoe over, jack and the canoe sunk into the river with no sound whatsoever, his lungs are filled with water, he couldn't breathe he slowly dies as the oxygen levels in his brain decrease by the second until his heart finally stops.
