In the middle of a clearing, surrounded by vegetation and lurking predators with eyes are gleaming in the shadows stands a being.
First glimpse of this being it looks extremely humanoid but with a closer look, its grin shows two pointy teeth similar to the fantasies of vampires.
Eyes golden as the purest gold and pupils as slits.
Hair more black than an abyss.
The humanoids body is all hidden behind scales it has probably gathered from prey.
But one thing which is noticeable is by its curves.
It is a female.
The predators finally take their slow steps out of the vegetation as the revelation of these creatures would greatly put any human to shock.
There is no need asking about it, they are dinosaurs known as velociraptors.
Now after observing the vegetation around the clearing again you would clearly describe it as a huge jungle with higher trees and larger plants.
This scene would definitely make you think you were in the same age the dinosaurs lived.
Indeed, this is just that.
The female is unmoving and the raptors have made a circle around it.
Without any warnings of the sort all raptors dashes with a frightening speed almost immediately closes the whole gap between them and their “prey”.
Before their jaws sinks in the flesh of the female it makes its move.
With speed so fast it looks like teleportation the female now again stands on the same place unmoving surrounded by lying raptors with their hearts impaled by the female’s blood dripping hand.
With a grin now gone the female or she shows now a tired expression it walks towards one of the raptor corpses but instantly stops after two steps.
With huge earthquakes she balances herself on all fours and looks up to the sky and is filled with despair.
This day is come to known as the day when almost all life got obliterated by a meteor fall.
While ignoring the corpses nearby she instantly reacts and dashes through the jungle keeping herself over the ground as much as possible to make sure the earthquake does not affect her as much as possible.
With her rush she sprints down into a hole.
As the tunnel underground gets broader it finally shows quite some space.
Objects lying around which have probably been moved from place by the huge earthquake makes her only in a instant in a sour mood but after she moves to the corner to the room.
There lies an open box similar to a coffin which by the look of it seems to have been created naturally.
She jumps inside and put on cover and everything becomes dark.
Sometime afterwards several ear exploding sounds occurs and shaking making the earlier earthquakes before a joke compared.
After what seems a very long time and with drowsy movements she pushes her hands against the cover only finding it not opening!
She panics a bit and starts to push with full force and the cover flies off colliding to the ceiling and ironically stays there.
She immediately tries to stand up only falling down and hit her head on the hard ground.
Holding her hands on her forehead and a little shaky she finally manages to stand up.
She starts to feel extremely dry in her throat and walks off to the tunnel were she came in.
After relentlessly digging through the collapsed tunnel she finally gets embraced by daylight and takes a deep breath with closed eyes.
After some time passed she opens her eyes and gets a shock.
Far away in the distance she can make out what she later comes to known as a civilization.
Flabbergasted she starts to think, (last thing I remember I was taking shelter from what seemed to be my demise and afterwards… everything I remembered has changed!)
After finally collected her thoughts she became a bit curious and at the same time scared, she went back into her “shelter” and started formulating plans.
Planning ahead and be cautious have always proved to leave out better results for her.
Thinking about that reminds her of her past when she strolled into a nest full of scary creatures, she ran that time for several hours.
Chuckling at the thought that compared to now she really was a clumsy one back then.
Thinking back to the present she picks up one object which is similarly formed as a sword from the ground and walk out towards the extremely numerous amounts of tall and less tall constructions called a city.
After one hour of walking with caution on max and a sword in right hand she looks out from the edge of the forest and gets to see for the first time creatures similar to her in masses… humans.
A flood of unheard sounds attack her ears, by listening to the sounds and looking at the same time she realizes, they are communicating!
They understand each other and their tongues and mouths are moving… After looking and listening for a while she tries out herself.
“F-f-fooddd.. Food...!”
Realization struck her. She can too, communicate but there is one slight problem, she doesn’t understand what she just said.
She doesn’t understand but with this she has already set a new goal, communication!

*Several years later*
“Hi, goodbye, how are you? Night, day, laugh, cry….”
Talking to herself and finally understand what she says she is happy.
After several years of observing from rooftops always hidden from the others she has come to understand a lot.
New words and new things which didn’t exist before, their system of determine time, how a human live and even months, weeks, day and years.
Today is Thursday 2th of May.
There are some more conclusions, humans wear clothes while she does not, and she is naked yes. They also need nutrition while she does not pretty much every day and the food they eat is super delicious!
She stole from time to time. But eating ends up needing to the needs of the bathroom, privacy here.
One thing she wants to do is going to this so called school.
She has compared herself with others and has come to understand that her looks is similar to people at the age of sixteen to twenty.
At that age there is this school called high school.
She wants to go there and learn about everything so much that she almost got caught in sight. Depressed she went to the outskirts of Tokyo and walks aimlessly.
“Well hello there miss, do you mind some tea?”
!! She immediately turns herself around and sees an old man with a cane as support 3 meters behind her.
Greatly surprised that she didn’t notice this old man she staggers backwards away from him.
But!
She wants to speak with someone, seeing people laughing and conversing with each other made her feel lonely.
Taking a firm step forward she says her first word to someone else;
“I-I would gladly… Sorry for intruding”
After accepting she noticed that she had intruded into this man home, and by the looks of it, it seems to be a shrine.
Following the old man who seems to be in a good mood they walk inside.
After being offered a seat at one side of a low round table she gets her tea and the old man sits on the opposite side looking at her.
“It was quite some time ago I last saw a naked woman gihohohohoho!” said the old man.
Anyone who saw this would immediately scream; Pervert! But this girl blankly stared back.
“Is that so… I did try wearing clothes but it felt so stuffy and uncomfortable…” she answered shyly.
Perplexed the old man stared at her for some seconds and said with a grin;
“I wish every woman thought like you hohoho… but I can somewhat understand, you are not normal are you?
Panicked she stood up and said;
“How did you now!?”
Taking a sip from the tea the old man said;
“Oi oi, a beautiful naked woman walks around and feels better that way than being dressed nicely, what about that is normal? Oh yeah wait here I think I got something that you would like to wear.”
Walking away into another room she stood still and confused. ( So it was not normal…) She thought…
Coming back with what seemed to be a kimono, white with snow stars on it the old man hold it up and said seriously;
“I think this would suit you nicely!”
Without feeling the need to resist she let the old man put on the kimono, while of course licking her body with his eyes. Pervert!
Stepping away he takes a good look and nods firmly.
“Nnn! This is it! Gihohohoho! ” He laughed.
Feeling comfortable with the clothing surprisingly the old man brings a mirror to take a look at herself.
Staring expressionless, she smiles after some seconds with a smile that could take any heart out there!
Both feeling satisfied he puts away the mirror and they both sits down opposite of each other.
“Oh! My apologies I forgot to introduce myself! My name is Kirugane Yoshino, but you can call me gramps! What should I call you?” Gramps said with a bright smile.
“I…” A bit unsure how she should answer that gramps interrupts her.
“I take it that you have no home or relatives?”
“y..Yes...” She says looking down. (How can this man know that...) She thinks to herself depressed.
“Then you can live here. “ Gramps said making her look up at him immediately surprised by the sudden turn of events.
“It is fine you know? I am quite lonely here, of course you will have to do chores, can’t have you freeloading here can we?” Gramps smiled.
Sympathy of feeling lonely and Joy fills her heart and she smiles brightly but she mutters quietly;
“But I don’t know anything; I got no education or general knowledge… I don’t even have a name...”
A bit surprised gramps laughs shortly afterwards and says;
“Then I will teach you! And about a name, I got one I know would suit you.”
With big eyes she looked at him, you could almost even see tears coming out of the corner of her eyes.
Gramps after this took an incredibly liking to this girl, and surprising himself not in the perverted way. He said;
“What do you think of the name, Alice? “
