Today We Rise

Chapter 1 -

I sat up and looked around. There I was, sitting on the beach in nothing but my underwear and… what is that? I looked at my arm to see a strange diamond shaped thing. I scratched it, it was so itchy. I carefully stood up, my joints felt stiff and numb. After struggling to my feet I pressed the strange diamond. It began to glow a pearlescent blue color, scrolling through the menu in front of me I learned that my name is Lexi. Being that I was completely alone, I couldn’t help feeling happy. I'm not the kind of person that requires attention.

(3 Hours Later…)

I’ve noticed that there are strange things wandering around here on this sandy beach. They are large and scaly, well not all of them. Maybe I should attempt to tame something? I don’t know anymore. This cute little bird-like thing might be a nice companion, they don't seem very bright though. One of them ate a rock… still they could be a very good source of… I don’t know… protection? I walked casually to a bush and began collecting berries to feed it, assuming it eats berries… Running up to the bird I realized that I don't know how to tame one of these beautiful creatures. Whatever… I ran to the bird and held out my berries. The bird watched me for a second before greedily gobbling up the sweet fruits. It licked it's beak and waited. After staring at the bird for 10 minutes I finally realized it had wanted more food. God am I stupid, I now understand why I am choosing this creature as a friend. It will be nice to have something dumber than me around. I fed that stupid little bird for a while before the thing on my wrist began to glow that blue color again. This time a bubble that read “Name Your Dinosaur” popped up with a little rectangle.

I looked at the bird, “How does this thing work?” I asked her. She tilted her head.

“Alright guess i'm figuring this out by myself then,” I grumbled. I thought for a long moment.

“I'll name you… Chicken,” I smiled proudly. The rectangle began to fill with the word “Chicken” before disappearing.

“What the…?” I didn’t have time, a green blob hit Chicken, knocking her off of her feet. She squawked and flapped her wings widely.

“HOLD ON!” I shouted, grabbing the bird and running away from our attacker.
