Chasing Suma

Our once beautiful and futile world, Kreyta, can now only be described as... gloomy destruction. Not subtle at all in the post-apocalyptic appearance of being barren and desolate. During the last four years, I have been on the run from the 'Locket Hunters'. Thus, I am the most unobtainable and wanted person in Kreyta. This has resulted in our world experiencing an apocalyptic age during an attempt to find me. Millions of innocent people have died during the manhunt. The events have been unfortunate and depressing. Furthermore, my name is Suma, like the season Summer. I am also the first-born locket in over three centuries, and to be honest scary. My family was killed as a result of hiding me and the legacy I hold. When they smashed their way into our family home four years ago, murdering everyone in sight. The bloodcurdling screams and bullets ricocheting throughout the house were terrifying. A memory that will be hard to repress. I was forced to run to keep my ancestor's secrets and to stay alive. A gift that was bestowed upon me before I was born, was a heart-shaped locket tattoo that is present on my left bicep. This is to identify I am a locket, and I am in danger.
