*!This is A fictional story based off the Vocaloid song "World's End Umbrella" composed by Hachi and The Southern Research Institute©
'The great umbrella covering World's End.
A tower is built in the center, a mass of machinery that props it up.
As one would expect, the villages below get no sun
and are tormented by leaks called 'Rain'.
But the people do not question.
For it is common.
It means nothing.
It is simply ' Law'.
*~*~*Chapter 1*~*~
A fake paradise – That's what we lived in.
Paradise isn't even the right word; it's more like a fake promise, one that was all along supposed to be broken.
Our parents came to this world after the great attacks on all the other villages, because there was nowhere else to go, but the cursed, strange, small town everyone called, 'World's End'. The place where the sun didn't exist, a place where it never stops raining or at least drizzling, a place where the clouds are constantly hovering above Kasa for miles. I have never seen the sun, or stars, or the moon, or the bright blue sky my mother talked so often about. Nor have I ever seen any clouds either then dark and light gray emotionless ones.
Everyone blames it on Kasa. The Umbrella in the center of World's End. Kasa is what blocks out everything. A huge tower of machinery made out of gears, pipes and twisting stair cases holds Kasa up at the top. She covers everything for miles, promising all of us no hope of escape.
Though few people live here, the enemy doesn't dare try to attack such a deeply cursed place, and for that reason, at least I am grateful for her protection.
It's the war that took my father, and left my mother bed ridden to the point where she joined him. I could see an image of them waiting for me, I wanted to join them too and see their warming smiles again, but I couldn't leave yet, knowing that there is still something inside of me that I need to do.
Before mother passed away she told me, 'Shyla, I want you to find our world again. You'll be known forever as the girl who brought peace to a place of fear.' When I told her such a place didn't exist, she gave me a picture book. A book full of colors and joy and a sun and flowers! She said, 'There can't be something as beautiful as this only in story books. Where do you think the artist got his ideas to paint it? Where do you think he got his colors?' She was right. In World's End all our colors where bland, simple, dark and faded, but the colors in this book where bright, vivid and carried so much zeal energy. And that's when I begin to memorize the pictures in that book, that's when I started asking questions.
Everyone in World's End never questioned, never wondered and never thought 'What If?'. We follow 'laws' without knowing who gave them. Who was in charge? Why do we have to follow these laws? No one ever thinks that way. No one besides me and my best friend Kapo.
Kapo lived next door to me ever since we were born here at World's End. His parents knew my parents before they both passed and there all like family to me. Being an orphan they had asked to take me in, but I declined knowing another mouth to feed would be a bother. So I was offered by the widow Mrs. Liana to work on her farm, as pay I would get food and a warm place to sleep. Mrs. Liana spoke much of the life before World's End and would sometimes tell me secrets or about events that they would have. It made me wish I could have been there to see it. I would ask her some of my questions, like, 'Why can no one leave World's End?'. She told me many people had tried to run away or escape, but no one has ever seen them again. And every time a person left you could tell, because a huge storm would come, causing everyone in World's End to suffer a famine. She told me how they once all wanted to leave all together, but then word got out that the enemy had taken over all the land and we would never be safe anywhere else. But almost always her answer to me was 'Because it is Law' and without any reason, we HAD to follow it. She was a nice older woman, with a good head on her shoulders, so I could always take her word for it.
Working on the farm was tough. There was a whole 14 hours work of things to do every day, and that's without braking for meals.
I imagined it would be a lot easier if our village wasn't so unpopulated, but I got to work with Kapo everyday out in the fields and with the animals so I guess it wasn't all that bad. Mrs. Liana's farm was the only one at World's End, it was are only food supply, so I was proud to help out along with all the others.
After words Kapo and I would sit around the camp fire with his parents, or we would sneak off and read my picture story book and he'd tell me his ideas and what he thought about the world before ours. We would both ask questions and try to give our best answers, though in the end none of us knew more than the other.
But Kapo believed in my mother's destiny for me. He told me that one day I would bring a new light to this world, and at that point I believed in him also. One day we would both go to Kasa's tower, To the World's End umbrella, and we would find the place that existed only in story books, because that's what we believed, that's what we looked forward to - The paradise we were truly promised.
