Exia paused, suddenly becoming erect at the sound of a low grumbling to his side, both hands went, fast as lightning, to the Katana, his head twitched, following his ears to the sounds source. A dog crouched behind some cans left out for garbage, the canine bared its teeth ferociously at Exia, saliva and foam dripped from the mouth. Eyes red as the moon strained, suddenly the dog let out a huge bark—scattering fellow animals far away—and dashed at Exia. Exia dropped the beast in one stroke, it was simple when the experience one gained from fighting the mutants, and especially when the rabid dog rushed in a linear line. Exia was not careful enough though; his garments were drenched in the creature’s blood, and his katana had chipped on the street’s surface, something that was rare even for a beginner. Cursing himself, cleaning himself, Exia’s head darted about just in case there was a pack and not just the loner. Seeing and hearing none, he left for the park once more.
Exia:I’m too jerky, it’s not even night yet and I’m already acting up. What would the others think?
Sweating he stopped and rested on a lamppost, his palms were clammy and pale, as though the color and warmth had been sucked from the world. His breath was heavy, Exia knew he didn’t have much time left before the Moon would appear, it happened every night after all. The Red Moons rays would cover them.
He was scared, but then again, they all were. He could see them in the park. Just standing there. Waiting for him. All of them had shown up that night.

Back-story ~
The Red Moon
The Red Moon appeared half a year ago, and with it the Red Moon was first thought to be a blessing to some ancient cultures, a sign that the world was going to change and become a paradise that humans have been dreaming for, for a long time. Common believe in modern societies diver however, the Red Moon has been nothing but a huge source of discomfort and death. With the Red Moon people have been turning into mutants with only killing on their mind, the mutants themselves gain superhuman powers of strength, agility, and cunning; smarter than your average zombie and more powerful than a handful of grizzlies. No one knows the true correlation between the mutating factor and the Red Moon yet, but there is hope that the world will not end, but first humanity must go through the scourge. Many who walked beneath the Red Moon’s gaze, or just barely scratched a tip of their skin with its glow, turn into a mutant.
The Scourge
Known as the phenomenon that causes the humans to change into mutants and their relentless attack on those unchanged.
Marhs
Individuals who have mutated along with the others, but have kept their human-like mind and are free from the relentless killing instinct. No deformations other than odd powers granted define the Marhs. They are the only hope humanity has to save them until a cure is found, if one can be found.
