Description
Valkyrie lives in a world that stopped functioning long ago. World wars are common, and peace is not. Food is even less. Orphaned by a mysterious plague known as the Crystal Plague, she and the other Coals struggle to survive in a world that is clearly against them. The plague has five stages. Stage One: Headache, Chill, and Fever Stage Two: Vomiting and Hallucinations Stage Three: Infected bodies get patches black as coal all over them. Also, their bodies temperatures sour over 100°(F) Stage Four: Terrible pain that causes them to go insane and attack anything near them. and Finally, Stage Five: Their whole bodies turn into crystal. Is it still possible for her and the other Coals to have a normal life, or is it to late for that also?
