Prologue


The world is not like it used to be. You know, once - a long, long time ago - humans ruled the world. They were the dominant beings; the top of the food chain. There are stories about how humans used to live in towering cities, clustered together like bees in a hive. There were many types of governments and countries. It was a time of advancement. Things called electronics were popular and everyone had some.

But something happened. Something decided that humans shouldn't be on top anymore. Almost out of nowhere all sorts of monsters were. Humans were no longer the top of the food chain. There was a new force in the world and it endangered every human on the face of the world. The only choice was to run. The humans had weapons, but they were no match for the monsters. Those who ran survived and those who didn't… The ones who ran away formed small communities called Civies. They built walls around the civies to keep the monsters out. With the walls the monsters just avoided the civies, not needing the struggle.

As years passed, governments started to form back up. At first there were many smaller governments, but soon they came together to form larger, stronger governments. Three to be precise; the Kingdom of Tu, the Commonwealth of Shui, and the Monarchy of Huo. Each one has a bundle of civies underneath making them equally strong.

The Kingdom of Tu rules the eastern part of the land, stretching along the coast. They are led by their royal family. King Roche and Queen Glacia rule the land, soon to be followed by their only child, Prince Reynard. The Royal Family of Tu are known for their strength and stern ruling. They lead a strong, well-equipped army and navy.

The Commonwealth of Shui is found to the north. They lay in the mountains. Their leader is King Isaac. He currently has no family, thus no heir. It doesn't matter much as he is young, so there is no true chance of him leaving without any heir. He instead focuses on his nation, trying to unite all underneath him. Many call him a fair leader, while some call him soft.

And the Monarchy of Huo lies to the west. Their kingdom is definitely unique when it comes to the others. The top half of the land is comprised of swamps, while the lower half is comprised of deserts. Both halves are ruled equally over by the empress, Kaihau. Her father was the emperor before her, ruling with an iron fist. But he, along with Kaihau's mom, died during a plague. She was left as the eldest of the three royal children of Huo to become ruler. She is still young, only just hitting the ripe age of thirteen this year. She tries to be cool and calculating like her father, but does show kindness towards people at times.

There is land to the south, but it is considered unpopulated. There was a kingdom that ruled over it a while ago, but it fell to the monsters. It has now been considered uninhabitable and no one dares enter it.

The world isn't like it used to be. It is split up; broken. Only a single purpose can bring it back together. But one must find the purpose and that is easier said than done.


The beginning of my new story, The Struggle of the Fiends. I based it on Miss Anglais' Wars Amongst Us. I don't know which way she was going to with her story, seeing how she hasn't been on since 2013, but I have an idea of which way I want to go. The "monsters" are Pokemon, but I haven't introduced that yet.

The SYOC portion of this story is CLOSED!
