UNGEZÄHMT CITY WAS a place that had magical beings inhabited in, they were part human but because of their bloodthirst that seemed to never end, no one could call them people as much as they could. The name of the city completely translates to what these creatures are described: untamed.
Ever since she was a little girl, her father had protected the city, it bothered her but Rebekah knew not to bugger her father unless need to be. Her father didn't tell her why he protected the city when they were anything but good. He didn't tell her why until she was fourteen, she understood.
She vowed to protect the city like her father, it was to become her duty, she was not to fail her father, he would be fairly disappointed in her if she does so.
Five years after she was born was the start of her training, she was supposed to be unstoppable, heartless and cruel. And that's what she became.
Her father applauded her for being who she was, who she was trained to be. He was proud, and that was all she wanted.
At age sixteen, she became what she was destined to be: a nightmare. She was a monster.
With her heart gone and her mind controlling her, she destroyed all that was in her way of her success.
She wasn't alive, she wasn't living. And she was okay with that. Her heart was taken away, still beating until now, but she was breathing. That set her apart from everyone else, it was unheard of, living without a heart, it was incredulous.
Protecting the city was no easy task, plenty have came to retrieve it, offered her promises, bribery was one of their techniques, unfortunately for them, they came across the unknown legend.
Kings, emperors, people with plenty of titles to come along with their names travelled far to claim the city. None came back to where they had come from.
It was no surprise when different kinds of species started to approach her, she did not care that they had only wanted to set the creatures free. They were to remain there.
Years have passed by and nothing changed, she had still hovered over the city, protecting it like it was her children.
This was her city, and she was not going to let anyone have it. However, she did not know just how important Ungezähmt city was, but she will soon, with a price to pay.
