Understanding the Old World

V kept her word for the rest of the night. She kept watch alongside Alex, and he could not really complain after all. Being by his lonesome for half of the night, keeping watch was a dreadfully boring task. With the vampire nearby, her mere presence warded the area from any unwanted individuals. Even if one of those other bosses showed up in which she referred to, they would have to think twice before engaging in combat with someone of her power. 

Sometime during the night, the two had much to discuss as they were from different worlds thrown together by the hand of fate in this cruel world. V eventually asked Alex what life was like before the fracture.

"So how was it? Life on this world before the fracture?"

Alex did not know how to answer that; life on Earth was complicated, to say the least; different regions lived in different degrees of wealth, prosperity, and security. So he answered her question to the best of his ability.
