Schools for powers are sanctuaries for those possessing the "right gift" for the area. Heaven help anyone who has the wrong power in the wrong area.  Most businesses are destroyed and the peaceful Grenton tribes in New Kansas and New China provide every drop of food. This is the world now, a huge series of events and wars all thanks to the "Vaccine for Cancer" also known as project Savior. It did do well by curing all disease but it made it so the immune system was all but destroyed making poisons twice as deadly. Hence a tribe of people called the Sepsis Tribe is deadly with cures, poisons, and mind control agents that they create from energy. All those who were unaffected by the cure in a way that granted them powers became scientists in New Russia, New Japan, and New Manhattan. These places are empires now for the half of the human race that wishes to run by the laws of physics and not be out alone in an isolated area like New Canada, which is owned and protected by the scientists any way. The tribes of mages control the rest of the world in countries of their own.

 Lucky huh? I am, Aero leader of a tribe of Arial Maligns,  by the way Malign is what the scientists first deemed us. This name is given to any type of creature deemed evil by the scientists. The technical definition would be "To make evil, harmful, and often untrue statements about; speak evil of."

Unfortunately the scientists take Maligns and use them for energy sources and food supplies. Most tribes are unable to stop them, as the tribes are all secretive and hating of each other. Some of the tribes allied with the scientists and are considered equals because their ability does not deform them like others.

Most tribes take an area were they have their heritage and protect it ferociously in the seclusion of schools and capitals. Schools now are all sanctuaries and are similar to olden day collages except they train a malign to become skilled and defend their tribe from the science and the tribes allied with them. My tribe is highly revered and feared, as we are the main reason the world is not dead. The Arial Maligns summon storms and create air currents to provide massive amounts of wind energy once a day for all the tribes.

Capitals are where other tribes travel to discuss sanctuary and boundaries. The only people aloud to enter any tribes area is a Grenton, which are welcomed. Scientists are always the problem however making up boundaries and always attempting to take entire tribes. They have even kidnapped wandering Maligns in the neutral lands or Aria territory, which are protected by the Solaria, Astral, and Roctoret Tribes who are the most powerful and feared Divine Maligns each with a devastating power. Solaria are the guardians of sunlight and protect us by living on the sun and controlling it to protect us as well as having one representative in an ancient shrine to protect us as well, two other representatives from Astral and Roctoret stay in the shrine, playing guardian to the area as well.  Astral who are the great shield tribe are considered the white mages of the world who provide aid to anyone stricken with disaster or poison, They are also able to kill any being on earth by summoning their all powerful freezing white light which is said to burn and freeze at the same moment and can last for eternity. They also act as police for tribes by using this light as a cell. Lastly the Roctoret are considered the malign version of telepaths since the telepath tribe of malign call themselves human. They are similar to telephones between tribes and are also able to kill and being with a thought also they can teleport between areas that certain stones are placed, so they play mailmen as well.

Their are some other tribes I have had the pleasure of running into, these tribes i consider divine because I believe if provoked they could destroy entire areas. These are Echo's which can copy any power, Servants of Song which are three tribes combined they have various powers generated by music, and Lastly GeoFea which control the temple of earth in Sacramento.

            Well Newcomer it is time for you to share with us where you are from

The newcomer fiddles with a pendant on her neck and stares blankly at Aero.

Aero: Well do you have a name?

Azumi: My name is Azumi, I don't know where I am from or what kind of malign I am.

Aero looks gravely at Azumi, for an instant his eyes twinkle as if hope has returned to his light brown eyes. The glimmer of hope is quickly shook out and his short brown hair is blown drastically by a huge gust of wind from the open doorway. He realizes he was staring and begins looking at her kindly with an amused look.

Aero: Well well, you CAN talk, interesting...

Azumi: well it did not seem important before. So... you have Grenton here... May I meet them?   They sound interesting...

She had said this as sweetly as possible and Aero could not resist especially an adorable little twenty year old with a beautiful shade of dark skin and midnight black curly hair done with a single pony tail hanging above the rest of the hair over her back. He shook his head again and another sudden breeze blew through.

Aero: Well why do you want to meet a Grenton? Why not an Arial Malign or an Ariala bird?                  By the way Ariala birds are our pets here they're lovely, with soft skin and they can fly             normal people, why not them?

Azumi: Well... They were the first maligns you talked about. Is their any Malign that can read             minds that is not evil or violent I am curious to find out what I am.

Aero: What do you mean you don't know what you are?

Azumi: Well I don't remember anything LIKE I SAID BEFORE. The only reason I really             remember is my name because... Because I saw it on a silver bracelet that is right here.

She produces a small silver bracelet and holds it out in front of Aero. Aero grabs the bracelet and reads the inscription:

 Project: 1492 Name: Azumi Starfate

Triniti Sageling Hybrid

Project Leader: Dunka Malkiasha

Aero goes wide-eyed and looks directly at Azumi with a different attitude. He sits down and appears to be trying to calm down. Azumi stared helplessly in her chair. Outside the curtain door of the room the outside grew dark. She noticed several people holding their hands up as if to stop the storm. Aero saw her eyes as they gazed out at the coming storm. He realized what he was doing and began calming down, and the holes the people were trying to make in the clouds began to appear. Seconds later they dissipated the storm and it was sunny again. Azumi looked relieved and sat calmly in her chair. Aero looked on at Azumi again...

Aero: So what kind of project are you.

            I thought you were a person from an ignorant tribe of hill Malign like the Mellian             Illusionists, so I shared the current situation with you but no, you are a project. So what is                    your purpose?

Azumi: I do not know what you are talking about...

            Is that what it meant by Project?

The startled look in her eyes pierced him and he knew she was telling the truth. She appeared more befuddled than before however. He was annoyed so he decided Aries would explain it.

Aero: Aeris please come in

A small girl around seventeen appeared at the doorway nearest the fireplace. She appeared adorable in a pink dress with her hair in a long braid. She approached Aero and he began whispering the situation to her. Azumi nervously awaited the sudden break in the silence. Aero rose from his chair and began putting on magnificent black armor with a white trim at the edges. Aries replaced him in the chair and smiled gingerly with a gleaming pair of bright blue eyes.

She proceeded speaking softly.

Aeris: Hello, Welcome to the City of the Storm the capital of the Arial Tribe

Azumi: Thank you, I'm honored.

Aeris: well aren't we polite... well Aero is a Guardian of the Ariel Tribe.

            He is angry because you are a project

Azumi: A Project?.?

Aeris: yes it means you belong to the Scientists he does not like them.

Because he was born in the neutral city of Narshe which was in a cavernous area in the edge of Aria. His parents were kidnapped and he was fitted with project GeneBerserk a special piece of metal that makes Maligns go crazy and obey the first person they see. He obeyed them from five to sixteen. He was one of seven great disasters that plagued the earth until fairly recently. Then he used his natural powers and protected his parents homeland since.

Azumi: wow that is sad...

            What do you mean by seven great disasters?

Aeris: Well seven children were taken from Narshe, Which is has a secret school for prodigies or people with unbelievably high amounts of power... well with GeneBerserk him and seven others were destroying the world. He was The Hurricane of Hatred. Celes Frost, was The Blizzard of Eternal Rest, which froze anyone caught in it. Terra Cole, was The Ray of Dark Hope, the scientist counter to god, she obliterated anything in her ray that surrounded her. Gogo, was The Mimic Draven Barrage, He returned all attacks aimed at him back by copying them. A group of Singers called Cait Sith's Crew that was Cait Sith, Selphie, and Siren, who were The Song of Death. A girl named Tifa Grotto who was The Shatter Stone, she made massive earthquakes that shattered mountains. Relm Miragia, who was the Miragia Giant, her illusions could destroy anything magic generated magic example a city made of magic vines. Lastly their leader Vincent, The Vampire of Fate who drained the masses with his words.

Azumi: That sounds horrible...

            How did you stop Aero if he was so powerful though?

Aeris: yeah, several Grenton bound him. One being me... and since then I have followed him       ever since

Azumi: so can you make remembrance pods?

Aries: of course, that is what Aero asked me to do anyway.

Azumi: really?

Aries: but, unfortunately we will move you to Aria specifically AuniMataya so the council can             decide if you're a threat...The council is made up of three Divine Maligns one Solaria                   Malign one Roctoret and one Astral. The Roctorets are all children because of their             ability so do not stare or you will be teleported to the moon. They're very touchy. Well             let's go get you into a bath.

Azumi: OK... But why do we need to wait to get my memory back?

Aries: Oh because Aero feels you could be a disaster waiting to happen and if your memory             returns you'll go berserk.

Azumi: All right I guess that seems like a good reason.

Aries: Here take this rose and spread the petals in your bath. The fumes smell nice and I added a                        calming weed into the mixture. You will feel better after this.

Azumi: Thank you very much.
