The Legend of Pistl

The Date is May 17th... The year is 2542... It's been half a century since the experiments got loose and destroyed nearly everything resulting in a global nuclear destruction.. With nuclear winter setting in, the remaining survivors started to die off, one by one, not including the brutal killings those hell spawn did.




June 10th.. It's been nearly a month and there are only a few of us left. None of us are sure how much longer we'll last without some sort of miracle/hero. I thought to myself "We have to coordinate some sort of resistance to these wretched things". That's when I decided that enough is enough. So I, along with my mutated flesh eating friend, Kun, set out on a journey to fight as many of these creatures as we could and possibly find the Queen and kill it. So I grabbed a mysterious sword that was lying on the ground and decided to head out on this journey. Not long after we started walking, we encountered one of those beasts, it lunged at me and with one quick and clean swing of my blade, I sliced right through its neck and off went its head rolling on the ground, black blood then sprayed all over the snow... It was my first kill.. I felt some satisfaction in it.. then.. something very strange happened.. not long after I slayed that beast, my sword started to glow.. then a Whitish Blue aura started to emit from the sword.. little did I know this particular blade was an enchanted ice blade; wielded by a god that had bestowed mystical and powerful icy properties onto it. Who ever possessed the sword gained partial immortality, enhanced senses, enhanced physical strength, and many other useful skills, as well as being able to partially control the ice element. While Kun was gnawing the dead corpse, another one of those things came out of nowhere and lunged at me bearing its claws and fangs, it nearly got me but the enhanced reflexes kicked in and I turned right away and elegantly swung my blade and this time.. I didn't cut the thing.. my sword.. it slammed into its skin and it completely froze and shattered right in front of me. By this time I was in utter shock and in awe at what had just happened. I just stood there, jaw dropped, eyes wide open for a few minutes. 5 minutes later while I was still in shock and awe, yet another one of those damned things tried to jump me, luckily I had just regained my composure and I gave a mighty swing downwards, but the little s**t dodged it, my blade made a loud bang as it hit the ground, but then.. another odd thing happened.. as my blade hit the ground it shot out an icy wave and froze the b*****d and again, shattered him. I was in utter shock and in awe for the second time within 10 minutes. But this time I regained my composure much faster then before. 10 seconds later I snapped out of it. Then I whistled for Kun, he came, blood covered his jaw and I asked him; "Did you enjoy your meal?" and he simply replied with a "meork" and we went on our way.




June 25th.. I'm starting to run low on water and Kun here has been going nuts because he hasn't had a meal in over 2 weeks and he's been looking at me with a hungry eye. So I decide to stop and look for a water hole and just my luck I found a fresh spring not to far away. So, me and Kun stopped for a bit to get a drink, once Kun had his fill I asked him if he would like to go on patrol and I told he he is free to eat anything he sees, as long as its not me. Naturally he jumped at the opportunity, so while I rested for a bit he went around fiending for flesh and blood, then maybe like.. 5 minutes while resting I heard growls and yelps, I then knew Kun found some food. So after about 10 more minutes, I decided I had rested enough so I decided to go looking for Kun, I yelled "KUUUNNN, HERE BOY!" then whistle for him, only to be answered by silence.. so I walked around a bit more then I yelled again "KUUUUUUUNNNNNNN!!, COMERE BOY!", again to be answered with silence. So by this time I'm starting to get a little worried, so I see Kun's paw prints in the snow, I start to follow them, I then find a big steaming pile of chewed up body parts and the smell and sight is horrid so naturally I gag and cover my nose and say "Yup.. Kun was here..", I then walk a little ways past the body part pile and I find Kun eating another one of those things, then I say, "You ate 53 of those things in 15 minutes?! Jesus Kun.." he simply replies "meork", I say "I know you were hungry but damn... Don't you think you over did it a little?" and he replies with a "meork meork", and I say, "Okay, okay, Lets just get out of here.. the stench is killing my nose..". So me and Kun are back on our journey to find the Queen.
