Through all, smile. Through the worst, smirk.
The years had seemed to slow and the nights growing colder as time passes. The earth was at a stand still ,lost between innovation and the dust of the past.
People usually stayed in what few cities there where. They were large places full of lights and sounds, a mixture of pleasure and pain.
Outside the walls of those cities though were the danger lands. Areas over run by creatures that long ago had just been stories. Now they roamed like haunted nightmares throughout the lands.
The landscape was vast with lush greens and tall trees in areas where they could thrive then in others it was sand and unbearable heat.
It was said that this creature controlled the land outside the cities and it was death to any human. A king of sorts. All rumors but then again the creatures were just rumors before too.
Over the years humans stayed to their cities and the creatures to their land but as all things, peace never lasts.

Racina Sli had grown up with the imagination of most children but with the horror stories of what lay outside the walls. Still it never seemed to stop her from sneaking away from her privileged parents to explore.
Her small frame allowed her to hide easier than most as she darted through the crowds of people to get to the wall.
She barely stood five feet and her black hair had to be kept on a braid to keep out of her way. Her eyes were a soft brown and though she was close to seventeen, she appeared much younger.
Once she reached the place in the wall where long ago she had found a hole big enough for her, she wiggled her way along it darkness.
Out the other side, she looked around carefully, taking in every detail before standing up. Her soft blue dress dirty from crawling but she didn't mind or care.
