Ch 3 already....if you read my last story you might be surprised, I'm not useing Soap and JO, I know it's probably not relieving, but I might use them in my next story...just to let you know...
War.... Before and After....
year 2045
People sat watching thier TV, it was too horrible to believe. It was a third world war that the USA was now going to enter. Yeah, we got out alive with the other two, but this is different. We and the other countries joining the war now had advanced nuclear weapons, if one country uses them, the other countries will use them.
Chaos swarmed the streets when the news got out. People were buying bombshelters and buying supplies for the next years. Streets and highways were crowded with families in their vehicles, traveling to see their families, or going to find safty and shelters. Nobody knew what to really do....it had been almost forty-five years after the last war, and the last war didn't leave the other half of the globe in ruins. And what if this does get even worse...the supply of oil was growing shorter and alternative fuels were still being researched. This was truly scary now...
Rainforest were disappearing, skies were murky from polution, and half of the coral reef was now gone from water polution. The natural wonders of the world were no longer interesting to the childrens, they chose to stay in thier rooms and play on thier computers or playing video games. Today was different though...kids sat in shelters with all they could carry.
It was slow though, but not slow enough...after about a month of being in war, the bombs started here in the US. People were bing killed no matter what shelter they had. Most families had lost contact with others and most people didn't even have acess to a radio...since they had gone out with new technoligies...
After Years of war...it ended...the surviving people left thier shelters to see what was left of thier homes..thier lives. It was horror down to every remaining blade of grass. Large cities were ruins, smalls towns were ruins, everything was in ruins.
People would travel to where the large cities used to be. They would gather their food they had left and clothes and blankets that they still had and traveled. They really didn't know where they were going. They'd just stop at areas that looked useful found supplies in the ruins of old buildings, a few people would be seen, finally after weeks of traveling, the small group found a lush green area. It looked like it had never even been populated. They all stopped and started work on a new home for everyone...
These were not the only survivors, this was not the only group. There were eight main groups or "Tribes" of people. There's the 'Great Tribe', the one you have followed. They are the most practical..they believe in a general education and have a monarchy at the moment.
There are the "fighters", the war bound tribe. Men and women were meant to be strong and the tribe was power hungry. They have always wanted to be the leaders of the country...but they are a lot smaller than the Great tribe and wouldn't be able to take them on...so they keep training.
Then the Healer tribes and other tribes are travelers. They travel to teach methods of doctoring and teaching and a variety of things to help the country redevolp, but at the moment, it seemed impossible.
Unity was low inbetween the tribes, they all maintained individual unofficial government. It was truly liek the US, wasn't the US anymore...really it wasn't....
Ok, I'm sorry if I am taking a while and I'm sure this is boring, but it would get really confusing if I didn't explain this beforehand....The next chapter or two will give a background on the two amin characters, I'm so sorry, please r&r, I'll update as soon as possible...bye!
