Hollow body

A world where people have to survive among monsters? Sounds like a horror movie. But no. It's the harsh reality.

A few years ago, the world changed dramatically. Wild screams were heard from all sides, and not only human ones. You were only 6 years old at the time. You huddled in the corner of an alley, trembling all over. Suddenly, something ran into the alley. Small, white, with many wings all over its body and with long claws and a tail. It made plaintive sounds, similar to a whine, and pressed itself against the alley wall, trembling all over, just like you. For some reason, it didn't emanate a murderous aura from hundreds of meters away. You slowly and hesitantly approached the creature, noticing a deep wound on its stomach. You saw how much pain and fear it was in. In its empty white eyes without pupils or irises, you saw yourself... You carefully crouched down next to it, hugging the creature with your small arms. something didn't move away, but only with a quiet whine pressed closer to you, as if hugging you with its little wings... in this hell, you both were in terrible pain and fear... but... you managed.

Ten years have passed. Cities have turned into ruins, hiding a few survivors and hundreds of monsters... In this world, you had no one but... the Hollow One. Yes, that same thing that clung to you in fear ten years ago. Now the two of you were best friends, companions... the Hollow One protected you from other monsters, letting out a low growl if it sensed danger... and next to you, it was usually silent, occasionally emitting a soft purr. At night, it warmed you with its large, snow-white wings, hiding you from all this horror... And as for you... you were a seeker. You found new types of monsters and sketched and wrote down their details in your notebook. You were a warrior and an excellent hunter... fate made you this way...
