Time. Such a simple yet complex subject. The years have gone by since the first and one of the most destructive of wars. World War III. Since that dreadful war began the world has been in a most deadly sorrow. The world even went to enough lengths to destroy a whole continent with barely even any survivors. South America. Yet not one being knows why such a ridiculed place was destroyed.

'Why not Europe or Asia?' People would ask in a respectful manner. But the talk was lost over many years, as World War III went on for an astonishing thirty-four thousand years.

As the one thousand thirty-four years passed on of pure war, people began to question authority. Why was th war even happening, settlements and agreements had been made years ago around the time of 2078. Yet the war that destroyed so much went on.

Yet Mankind went to even more lengths besides war. Due to war however, Mankind ended up destroying a whole continent. Near 2209 new weapons had been made, more destructive weapons, that could be the ultimate nightmare. Out of disagreement, western parts of Asia sent the ultimate nightmare toward South America. The nightmare the people had was fatal. The whole continent blew, ending lives of so many. The continent was a waste land from that time forth.

And even another of few Nations was destroyed by Mankind. China, and Korea blew up, and literally too. North Korea signed a Treaty saying that they would no longer use force-based tactics, but a major accident turned the worst to a walk along the population. All of China, North, and South Korea were lost in a multiple Nuclear Bomb explosion. It was said the bangs could be heard in London, England. Now the Human population was so decreased that no one dare go to another continent.

So, so much more has happened to Earth by the time of 2500. One thing that impacted Monarchy's was the New Coming, as it was called. Most Countries of the 'Newly Ages' became whole Kingdoms for protection to the people and the country. The most famous of Monarchy exchanges was the Europe Utopia Exchange. Europe signed off a document that stated that only seven Leaders were to represent the country. And most, if not all of the western original countries people were moved east. Many of Africa's tribes were forced by the new African Leader program, to move east of the continent as well. The African Leader was meant to be a Leadership that was held by five of Africa's greatest Leaders of the time of 2520. The war apparently changed Africa the most, though many died, much of African culture deceased. But not all, which was much luck.

Much of past, if not all records of past events were not found any where. Only few documents were found from Old World time. Which made things hard for the people of the New World to understand how many of the old times would work.

Now, since I tell you this, about the political world, let me tell you of what disasters Mother Nature brought to the world during and some what after the world.

Many unexpected incidences came to the Earth. Global Warming for some reason had not stopped, even though smoking and drugs, and other human polluting disgusts, were either demolished, or forever banned. And gas was not a factor for transportation anymore. Many of pollutions were destroyed to restore Earth's balance of atmosphere.

One of the most unexpected of Global Warming incidence, was connected to Australia. The Pacific drowned the continent out from the slowly melting Antarctic. Just about all the population died from the floods that crashed through, two continents were now lost forever. And now Australia is almost completely underwater, but no one lives on the slowly drowning isle.

Yes Mother Nature showed her power in an immense way that day. Antarctica is now just a small island of ice, and is still melting even now. It's a sad thing the losing of much of earth. New Zealand and Fiji were soon after the flood evacuated. Along with the rest of the islands that neighbored Australia.

Canada somehow cut off from America during a mass earthquake, and is now just another place on the map. But people do not call it another continent since originally it was not as stated by the world Leaders. The earthquake caused an even greater decrease in Human Population, on both sides, Canada and North America. Mother Nature showed her furious side that fateful day.

And…Oh! You want to know about our Beloved North America you say?!…Let us just say it has changed drastically. And so we go back into politics, I had almost, but not nearly forgotten about North America.

After World War III ended, many small and big wars continued. America was still part of the War in Iraq and became involved in many other wars somehow. America's Delegates (or rather the 2089 Leaders of America, they were merely representatives) decided a new measure of action should be brought into North America. Many if not all of Americans opposed of this new change, it was not the American way as many said. From the very center States of America, she split into four Kingdom based States that usually had up to four to eight VERY large cities

From Maine and down to Michigan, Illinois, and around Kentucky to Washington D.C, the "Kingdom" was known as Pelenson. Pelenson was the most famous, yet the smallest of Kingdoms. And one of the most historic. I will only go into detail about Pelenson, for it is my favorite Kingdom. And to understand, all other major old cities of America,are in ruins. Such as New York City. No one goes to the ruins though, they are far to close to collapsing. And they are covered in a canopy of vegetation. Nearly invisible due to the forest. Though still it can be seen from the Empire State Building, since it is not completely covered.

So now that the summary of some of New North America has been summarized. Let me tell you of what was born there in Pelenson, supposedly. The Protector as it was called.

You see, the Year of the Amulet and Stone means well. The Stone is meant to be the Protector, as it was said to be the new Protector of the world. And the Stone has only been seen once, by one person. This person was told by the Stone, to gain special guards that would help him or her protect the world. Namely, helpers to the Protector. Along with the Protector came a even newer Earth. Portals to places people could never imagine opened. As the newcomers came, so did new technology. So the world could now travel to different times as well. And the time limit( or license) was accepted by those who could prove themselves worthy to vacation to different worlds, and times. This started to help the year 3000 A.D. understand what events happened in the past. Earth now has people from different dimensions living in homage. Which helps to much needed.

Soon, however things began to change,people began to come up missing, and would not return at all. It was soon found out that the Protector accidentally traveled to...somewhere. And now the travel is becoming unbalanced. Around 3013, helpers were trained very strictly to come up to standards with the Protectors. Only few made it to become Guard Protectors, which is the master form of the helpers. Now they protect not just help. Guard Protectors are the only beings able to travel to different worlds and times. The number of Guards has dropped though. Why? It's not that they quit, it's that they went missing. And no one knows where to directly look for the missing Guards, so they are honored, yet forgotten.

Not even Leaders can go on missions for The Protector. For their safety, and the world needs the Leaders greatly.

Now The Amulets are the symbols that are given to Guard Protectors before missions. So that they will not forget who they are. Each is unique, and each represents that they, the Guards, an do just about anything while on missions.

Guard Protectors as well get Helpers, or Merchants. They to get Amulets, yet theirs are smaller. Much smaller. Merchants usually take care of the Ships that are given to Guards, and many are from the world that helps earth most. Ivalice.

So now you know what life is like in the year 3046. Life still expands, and well you just have to wait and see. (or rather read)
