Prologue
For hundreds of years there has always been Chaos in the world. Evil had always been prominent over good, people cowered in their homes afraid of the world, homes were always brightly lit to deny the dark from seeping into the minds of sleeping, helpless civilians. Millions of lives had been lost without cause, darkness covered the land, demons plagued the world and there was nothing that could be done. Cities were fortresses, enormous stone structures surrounded by cold walls, brilliant fires lit along the walls kept the demons at bay, refusing them entry into the cold safety only the Cities could supply. The world seemed pointless. The people felt God resented them. There was no light in this cold, dark existence, people were alive, but no one truly lived.
The world hadn't changed in five hundred years. The Cities were starting to crumble, food was running scarce, riots broke out in the streets, fuelled by starving minds. The world inside the safety of the walls was ending and everyone knew.
But then hope aroused. A select few of the population were being born with abilities, powerful abilities known as The Gift that could fight the demons and the darkness they brought. These Gifted were born into a world of darkness to bring light, Magical and Physical abilities were surfacing among the people, abnormalities that could not be explained, inhuman strength, elemental prowess, mind control and many more. The people worshiped these Gifted, they praised God for the sanctuary these Gifted could create for them, they dared to hope for a future free of demons and darkness.
Fifty years later from the first Gifted birth, a training institute for the Gifted was created, this institute, named West Wind Academy was designed to train the Gifted in the arts of battle. At first the institute would train the Gifted for four months and send them out of the city to the world to face the hordes of demons surrounding the cities, at first the Gifted were dominating the battle field, but slowly they were being overwhelmed by the endurance these demons had that they never trained for, of the platoon of twenty-five Gifted that entered the battle that day, four survived with a tactical retreat.
To prevent untimely deaths of the Gifted, a four-year training period was introduced. During these four years, Gifted trained to be soldiers of the highest calibre, training with various weapons so they wouldn't have to solely rely on their own abilities, they trained their bodies endurance to indescribable levels and lastly they trained their minds. And at the end of this period, each soldier was given a rank and assigned a unit based on their abilities, these ranks were known as The Flags, The Rapids, and The Elites. Each rank had specific duties, Flags were the guards of the Cities, stationed outside the walls they held a perimeter, allowing farms to be built and sustained under their constant surveillance and protection. The Rapids were the scouts, they ventured out into the world keeping a close eye on everything that occurs. And the Elites were the attack squads, specialising in over powering all demons and destroying them with unimaginable power. These soldiers are taking the light back and destroying the dark, slowly saving the world.
