She looked at them, making sure she had their attention. Of course she did. Even though they were surrounded by a beautiful scenery, -a mystical forest that charmed anyone that happened to traverse it- she was the only thing that they paid attention to. She wasn't their leader for no reason ; she had the qualifications for it. The rest of them knew that and respected her and her decisions for it.
She and them consisted a group of five. Five of the most skillful and brilliant minds of their society. All in peak physical and mental condition , the oldest one not a day after twenty. They were a team of "specials" was what they were called when they were mustered. They were a secret weapon. Specially trained for a purpose. To defeat the Heads.
The Heads were a group consisted of the most cruel, rich, powerful and dangerous people of the Empire- it wasn't a real empire, the Heads named it that way. Or perhaps, it was.
They were dangerous in more ways than one; They were deceitful, disingenuous and sharp. This combination was a very destructive one. They ruled an industrial empire, that was based on lies and back stabbing. Through this empire they could control everything ; from what people ate, to what people thought. Literally. They brain- washed an entire nation into submission, just because they wanted to, just because they could .
But enough with the rant. The reason I'm telling you this, is because even though all these people were pawns of a bunch of stuck up snakes, there is always an exception to the rule.
Upon realizing the truth, a group of teenagers rebelled against them, causing chaos. These innocent kids, were exiled.
Hopeless and alone, stuck in a unknown territory, they crawled their way to survival. The impact was hard on them, leaving scars behind.
At the end of the day, they were just kids who were messing with fire. The problem was that they were not aware of it. And as the days passed by, they learned the harsh truth; Truth, love and peace and all that jazz, apparently is not the way to success, but deception is.
