Traitor

Andromeda, a dystopian world in which society was segregated into four factions. Iphanthei was at the top tier of ranking. They consist of individuals who were much more judgmental and intellectual than Kelleians. Thus having more special advantages. Crucially they resolve conflict by recognizing knowledge is of great value.

Kelleia was below Iphanthei, yet they are the second strongest amongst others. They believe in harmony and compassion.

Eurynome secretly believes in overthrowing the other factions. Members in Eurynome were troublesome due to constant fights and their lack of fear.

Terenei were selfless. However, they have a reputation of being carefree. Known as the lowest in hierarchy, they are often seen as the weakest link in society.

Every four years, the ceremony occurs in the dome. Eligible eighteen year olds have the option to leave the factionless sanctuary and take the risk and choose a faction. However once they have chosen, they can not change their decision.

There are several who have pleaded and refused to accept their fate. Yet, they were never heard from again.

Almost everyone dreaded the ceremony. Though the initiation was much worse. If one fails to successfully complete the task, you are punished, making you wish you were better off dead.

No one knows the origin of the system except it was created to establish peace and unity for future generations.

While the history of the late founding father, Kurt Sorenson, is unknown. His biography continues to be a mystery. No one dared to research his background. It was forbidden.

The Sorensons dynasty was powerful. But, it was mostly Albert Sorenson, who was always in the spotlight. Unsurprisingly, the background of his family is also hidden from the public.

Although lately, a rumour about him has rapidly spread. Specifically, he was passing his position to one of his children. Truly shocking news to many.

Sang

It was an exhausting day for all the factions. Although the ceremony was still two months away, everyone was busy preparing.

However, an usual sight with dozens of security being deployed, limited supplies being distributed to the lower faction and only certain personnel having access to confidential information was suspicious.

Luckily for healers in Kelleia, it is not as hectic unlike peacekeepers and gatherers.

Rarely do we get patients with severe sickness. With Advanced technology an advantage to us, we could easily cure them.

Sadly, it's not the same for Eurynome and Terenei. Healers get to witness occasionally the ugly aspect outside our own faction. Every so often, we tend to help the outsiders.

Truly a horrifying and upsetting truth between the rich and poor.

While organizing the large boxes of medicines, someone barged into the room. Just as I was about to yell at the person that they were not allowed to be in here, I stopped myself.

Maybe there was a reason as to why they were acting suspicious and behaved in a very peculiar way.

They abruptly looked around the room before conversing with one another.

Fortunately my small frame was hidden behind the boxes. Only a small hole between the box, their backs facing towards me.

"So doc, did you find out why the ceremony is starting earlier this year?"

"Not yet. But, something is bothering me. There was a folder called Project Eden." a new voice replied.

"Shit." a third voice added.

The flashing of red lights near the door catches all our attention.

"Let's just discuss this later at the meeting. Someone might see us here."

Once the sound of the door closed quietly. I was still crouched down uncomfortably.

Who are they?

What is Project Eden?

More importantly, could they be the Defiants?

Surely my father did not have to know about this for now.
