Chapter 1. Hate Vs Triumph and Love
The year was 2074; the world is in current chaos. Great wars are being fought and peoples' lives ending as a pulse came and spilt into their body. Great evil has taken the world. From this point on what man has caused cannot be reversed. In due time the world will eventually destroy itself with mans greed and hate. Groups of people following the religion Akren believe they have the answer to the world's problems. A utopian society must be made. But is this possible? Do the people of earth have anything to lose at this point? They may never know until they try.
The religion of Akren has been about since the fall of Christianity. That happened around 2040, and that's when all broke loose. People turned their backs on all the believed in just for some more power and money. It seemed like no one really cared anymore, that life itself was just to get more than your neighbor could get before you die. Everyone ignored religion and education. Most people were just about money and war. All except the people who followed Akren.
The Akren are Catholics, Christens, Jews, Muslims, and most other major religions that once lived. But these people combined themselves to believe the same things. Though their existence is short they have several followers, whom are all loyal. Since the beginning there have been several maryts dieing for religious causes. It is truly unfortunate.
The Akren had a plan. They knew that the world would eventually destroy itself, like most educated men, but they weren't planning on going with it. Their idea was to gain control of the world once they out numbered evil itself. They would then construct their utopian communities. They would set out a list of laws that follow Akren. One of the more important laws was the one of memories. Through the ways of Akren and selected few could receive memories from people. These people would eventually forget all about that memory and it would be vanished form their life forever. This is what they were going to build their community around. The fact that no one knew evil means they could destroy it completely.
People keep dieing day in and day out for believing in Akren. It has been several years since the last Calm, time with no war, was in place. But, they knew their time was soon to come. They would wait for the next Calm, which was due in time. That day came in the year 2074. This Calm was the last for the Akren people.
Their numbers were up and their time was now. The Akren people met in Old America where war has come and gone. The population was once highest in the world, now it is hard to find birds flying happily anymore. The several thousand Akren members joined each other in the middle of Old America and one by one lost all their memories to the chosen receiver. As this happened one by one the people moved to the selected area in which they were to take claim.
The area selected was not to big but not to small; a rushing river and a lake tributary in the middle surrounded it. There were ways to get the recourses they needed. It was a pretty perfect place to live and build. No hills, and nothing but sunny weather. Here winter, fall, and summer did not exist.
The Akren people began building the city in 2074 and finished in 2093. The head council was selected as the elders of the community, those with the most knowledge. Jobs were assigned to each person, their abilities helped decide this. The first generation of Akren's were very primitive to the current ones. They had wives and kids; everyone loved each other in their family. This soon changed for the worse. The elders laid out their rules; one of them saying that once your parents and wives die you must see the receiver. No one knew what the rule meant; they just assumed it was something to help them coop when a loved one of theirs died. What they didn't know is that the receiver was assigned to take the memory of love away from them.
By around 3082 most people had been vanished of love. But, their remaining knowledge and courage had come to them to believe that this place they lived in was turning for the obvious worse. They tried to escape, and several did. The people never knew what happened to these people. They believed they went to Elsewhere, also know has Heaven to the Akren people. The Elders knew that there was no Elsewhere out there. They were furious with the people's lack of loyalty to them so they called a town meeting mandatory to everyone, including new borns.
At the assembly they had each person one by one come to the receiver and transmit their memoirs of courage to him. People didn't know what was going on, they just assumed it was for the good of the community. Well, that's what the elders said at least. From this point on the elders have told nothing but blunt lies to everyone. They no longer believed in Akren or any of that stuff. For they like their ancestors have become greedy and hateful.
The community it self was in a downfall. People started to hate each other and people were staring relationships that weren't good. This couldn't be any longer. Again the elders called upon the receiver to take these memories away from them. Again, the assembly gathered. Only one problem was the receiver couldn't receive all their willingness to be with one another in the kind of way that was unacceptable. This worried the elders; they made their scientist go hard to work on this and eventually found a pill to calm the stirrings.
