Kira had a difficult start in life, unlike other children. She was only given bits and pieces about her early years. One stormy night, as the wind howled and the trees swayed, a firefighter stepped outside his station for a smoke. It was then that he heard the faint sound of a baby crying, coming from a small cardboard box. Upon investigation, he discovered a newborn baby girl wrapped in a dirty, torn blanket; the blanket barely provided any warmth.
The memory of the day she was found will forever be etched in the firefighter's mind. Pinned to the blanket was a note that read, "She will only bring trouble and misery; she is better off with someone else." The firefighter was shocked and saddened by the note, wondering how anybody could abandon such a helpless little soul like that.
The firefighter swiftly scooped up the fragile baby, cradling her protectively in his strong arms. He rushed inside and called for medical assistance. While waiting for help to arrive, the kind-hearted rescuer gently bathed the little one with warm water, soothing her cries and providing comfort in her distress. After the bath, he tenderly wrapped her in a fresh, clean blanket, ensuring that she was kept warm and snug until the medical professionals could take over.
It broke his heart to think about all the love and care the little girl had missed out on since she was born. Therefore, during the short time he had her in his care, he made sure to provide her with the warmth and affection she deserved. The man took the initiative to give her a name, and he made a conscious decision to name her after his beloved wife. By doing so, he aimed to replace the negative and painful connotations with pure, unconditional love.
As the years went by, the tough life of the young girl did not come to an end. The day the firefighter took her into his arms, she had to go to an orphanage. She spent several years there, hoping for a family of her own. She dreamt of having a mom, a dad, and maybe a sibling or two. Though her childhood dreams did not come true, she had a good outcome in life despite all the hardships. On the day that was supposed to be her 16th birthday, though it was unknown as to when her actual birthday was, her birthday was to become 2 days before the fire station incident. Fast forward 15 years and 363 days; she had been in foster care for a while.
The people who took care of her were not necessarily good, but not bad either. To supplement her income, she had taken up a job at a cozy coffee shop nestled in a bustling street corner. It was a quaint little place that was always brimming with the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the chatter of happy customers. One day, while serving a cup of coffee to a regular customer, she met a man who instantly caught her attention. They struck up a conversation that soon became an intellectual exchange of ideas, and they discovered a mutual interest in literature and philosophy. Their conversations became a regular occurrence, and they gradually developed a deep bond of friendship that was founded on respect and thought-provoking discussions.
Kira, a young girl who had been through a lot in her life, finally found an unexpected source of kindness in the man. He took her under his wing and went the extra mile to become an approved foster care family to take her in. This act of compassion was something Kira had never experienced before, and it made her feel like someone was finally fighting for her worth.
He was a renowned sword master, and he saw potential in Kira. Despite her bad eye, he taught her everything he knew about the ways of the blade. Kira was a quick learner and soon became skilled in sword fighting. With the money she earned from winning performances and competitions, Kira decided to do something for other children who were like her - children who had never experienced stability, understanding, and love. She wanted to give them the same chance she had been given - a chance to feel valued and cared for.
With her unwavering determination and hard work, she managed to save a considerable amount of money in a short time, which allowed her to fulfill her lifelong dream of starting her own orphanage. She opened her doors to all children who had lost their parents due to various reasons, including abandonment or war, and welcomed them with open arms, giving them a warm and loving home.
During the day, she dedicated her time to teaching them swordplay, knowing that it was not only a skill that could be useful but also a way to empower them and show them that they were worth fighting for. She instilled in them a sense of confidence that they could defend themselves if needed and that they could stand up for themselves and their beliefs.
But her love and compassion for the children went beyond the swordplay lessons. She showered them with genuine affection, making sure they felt like they were her own children. She treated each child with the same level of care, attention, and kindness, regardless of their background or circumstances. To her, they were all unique individuals who deserved to be loved and valued, and she made sure that they knew that.
Though they were not her biological children, she loved them all equally and unconditionally, and her orphanage became a place of hope and healing for many children who had nowhere else to turn.
It started as a typical day, just like any other. She went about her daily routine, unaware of the impending doom that was about to unfold. Suddenly, the world as she knew it came crashing down, and chaos ensued. It was the apocalypse, and she found herself caught up in a brutal battle for survival.
Despite the grim circumstances, she refused to give up hope. Her immediate goal was to protect a group of children from the Infected, risking her own life to ensure their escape to safety. She got a new purpose in life that day: to locate and rescue the children she now considered her own, no matter the cost.
As she set out on her mission, she was struck by the harsh reality of the new world that she found herself in. Everywhere she looked, there was only destruction and despair. The streets were overrun with the Infected, and resources were scarce. The task ahead seemed daunting, but she remained determined to fulfill her duty and find a way to navigate this dangerous new world. With every step, she was forced to make difficult decisions and sacrifices. She battled her own fears and doubts but refused to waver in her resolve. She knew that the only way to survive was to keep moving forward, to keep fighting, and to never give up hope.
