Chapter 2: 002. The Spread of the Unknown Virus

Jahl Mey, the farmer of Amryl, who fought an unknown creature when he was working in his farm this unfortunate morning, it was a Sunday, I guess. He was unable to identify which type of animal it was, perhaps alien from another creature. But he was damn sure it wasn't human, through its physique.

"Wwwhhho are youu?"

The farmer surprisingly and scarily, while his voice showed how little scared he was.

He awaited a response for about some minutes, but silent prevailed for that moment, while Jahl was trying to silently figure out who the creature really is, as an experienced farmer, he has never encountered such a creature before nor heard about it.

He broke silence..

"I said, Who are you?"

This time, he raised his voice a little, showing that he wasn't as scared as the other time. He has planned for the worst.

The creature, instead of responding, was busy grunting and panting, like one who has chased or been chased by something or someone.

It wasn't as big as human. The creature was somewhat like a turtle, but taller. It was reported that it could live in all the conditions of the world. It could fly, walk, and even swim. It has a big pooped out eyes, a tiny two legs and two hands that looks like feathers of an Eagle. His head couldn't be described, as it changes almost all time. It basically and logically has no formal shape nor a descriptive in nature, but it has a physical tongue and its teeth could be easily noticed. Its teeth like that of a

After some minutes of silence, the farmer is now ready to fight it, as it looks unwilling to leave nor willing to respond.

Jahl, who has been an experienced farmer, was startled when he found out the dynamic nature of the creature. It wasn't funny when he noticed that it could easily fly and ran faster, although wasn't strong enough.

When it reaches a moment when Jahl was getting too exhausted to continue with this creature, and already got wounded on about three spots on his body. Probably that's what got him exhausted as the wound, although not easily noticeable but poisonous, unknown to Jahl.

And opportunity came for Jahl, who was able to meet with the creature with one of his sharp farming tools, perhaps Spade or something. Although he has sophisticated tools he used for farming, but none was close to him for the shot. He left them at the entrance of his farm, since it wasn't a raining season, so his job on the farm is pretty little and limited, perhaps to clear weed and leave.

The creature got hooked on his long neck, which made it unconscious and consequently died before Jahl could take it home for proper experiment, after the one he had done while fighting the creature.

Nevertheless, it was taken home and upon discovery and the continuous tiredness of Jahl, it was found that the creature had bitten Jahl and its poisonous.

No one is aware yet of what would happen to Jahl, and also none is aware if the virus is contagious, but fear has gripped Jahl's wife and those he had met and greeted before this incident.

Sunni Mey, Jahl's wife who has helped his husband cleansed the wound has probably contacted the virus from him. Jahl has also played jokingly with his only child, Sammy Mey.

Sammy, who happened to be a secondary school student, probably in his 2nd years in school, and being a very social and lively young boy, he had a lot of friends, even from the senior classes who loved being with him, and thus, unknowingly spread the virus among peers who took it home unfortunately.

The virus started to spread beforehand, steadily but not quickly, as the it can be contacted through blood to blood, infected person's sneeze and spits, among other ways. Unfortunately the symptoms of the virus made it possible to spread steadily, coughing and incessant sneezing.

Many people were not aware of this, some treating different sickness, taking it for malaria or similar infections.

Since it was Alyn working on the creature, he has discovered the problem, and now, solution.

He discovered that the virus kills slowly, and it takes a time for an infected person to be aware of it, except the person who meet with the creature or got bitten by the creature can quickly suffer the virus.

"It might take a month for the one bitten by the unknown creature to die, but live in severe pain, while those contacted the virus could spent 5 months, first 2 month without so much pain, and about first two weeks without notice of the virus."

Written by Alyn Berj, for the report of his discovery which was to be sent to the authority of the state.

Alyn, also in the report explained it'll take time to find the cure to the disease, but then he could made prevention which could be used to prevent severe pain for a victim, and he also suggested quarantine for noticeable affected people.

Alyn successful made a tablet like medicine which was used to relief victims from severe pain, upon the approval of the authority.

The tablet medicine was only effective for a very short period of time, as within hours it gets expired and victims started feeling pain again, and thus must be taking the medicine almost every couple of hours.

This is probably the downside of the medicine.

It took about couple of weeks to receive update on the virus from Alyn, and the progress of the antidote to the unknown virus.
