He was a small child when he learned of the legend behind the wall. He was told that it held great fortunes for anyone that could live behind it. He once heard a story from his grandfather about how he ventured into the wall and made it out alive but scarred for the rest of his life. He was 18 and ready to face his biggest challenge yet... the wall. He grabbed all the supplies he thought he would need and went out into the village square and looked for people who would face it with him. Two hours went by and no one as approached him. Then out of the blue 3 people came to him. A small conversation broke out and soon many more joined in. Most of them were just young men looking for a thrill some were old and wanted another shot. Latter on it was a group of 20 people mostly people around 18 years old. The group leader Jason the one who's idea for the group was to put the experienced people in charge. The plan was that night they would go out and venture into the old wall.

Everyone met up in the square it was silent throughout the whole village not a single foot step to be heard. Everyone looked at each other with fear in there eyes. Jason was nervous. Just like most of these people he's never been in the wall before. They set off for a crevasse in the wall were a old gate use to be but was covered up with rubble from past attempts to get in. When they got to the crevasse they saw what looked like a person on top of the wall when the person noticed them he vanished. The group all started to get there gear ready to climb the wall. They have heard story's from the people who made it out of the wall but never into the kingdom. Story's of 8 headed figures and all sorts of traps inside of the maze in the wall. They shot up grappling hooks to the top of the wall. Then they got ready for the 7 story climb. They started to climb up the wall when they heard a loud clicking noise coming from the other side of the wall. All of them started to look at one another and got worried. The group leaders told them to just keep climbing and that it was a call for morning is soon. They eventually got about 5 story's high when day light started to brake over the wall. All of them paused for a brake on the side of the wall. As they looked out over the vas fields of grain and corn they saw what looked like huge birds in the sky, but what was weird about this was that they had som sort of trail coming from behind them. A hour went by then all of them started to climb on. When they got over the top they found a huge crossing for the wall. It turns out the wall is about half a mile thick. The top of the wall was covered with trees and grass (mostly grass) and a building here and there. Still no person in sight. They set off to the other side. They were all excited to get there. When they got to the edge they peered over to see a vas bustling city they also saw a way down the wall. They found a stair way down the side onto the streets of the city only these parts were mostly empty. But they were fine with this because they were in the city. They moved onto the crowded streets of the city and looked for a place to stay. Only thing being they didn't have any money when they came apon a worn down building they went inside they found a person behind a counter and asked if they could stay the person said how many rooms would they want and they only said 3. They asked if there would be a way if they could get money to pay and they said only pay u can do is help work here for an hour each they agreed and went on there way to there rooms. When they got to their rooms they started to unpack their gear. They met back up in the hall and went off deeper into the city more they walked around for hours looking to see what life was like behind the wall. When dusk was starting to creep up on the walls the streets started to get less crowded the group found the city square it was a massive circle filled with stands of people selling food and all sorts of other goods. The group were looking at different goods when there was a soft hum in the background. It was slowly getting louder but no one payed attention to it.

All of a sudden loud overpowering sirens started to screech across the city. People started to run in different directions as signs started to light up saying reach safety bunkers. The group did not know what to do. They started to get split up they tried to regroup together Jason yelled to everyone he could see to go to the bunkers and follow him. Everyone started passing that along and sooner than latter they were on their way to a bunker. The sound of roaring engines over head Jason looked over head to see what looked like massive birds in the sky and a air ship that looked that size of the whole city. The sky was filling with black dots from the city's defenses kicking into action. The group was running to the only bunker that they could find. When they got in sight of it the doors were starting to close. Everyone started to run as fast as they could screaming to hold the doors open. When suddenly a loud horn blared over head from the airship. Hangers under the airship started to open revealing people getting into smaller aircraft. One by one they started to detach from the airship. Falling to earth at fast speeds, hitting the ground then releasing people from the sides of them. The group barely made it into the bunker. All of them were worried they left their gear at the inn. People were in the bunker. Lots were crying and scared. Some were faceless because of a loved one being unable to make it in time. Others were decimated blank with fear and loss. The night was upon them everything was silent other than the hum of the airship and the engine for the bunkers power. Every now and then there would be a faint sound of screaming or someone outside the bunker. What seemed like hours went by when all of a sudden it felt like the earth started to shake as the city above them started to be bombed and shelled from artillery. A faint boom in the distance followed by a loud erupting sound of ordnance going off seconds later. The group was scared that the village was destroyed. All of there loved ones may have been captured or worse killed. Jason talked with the group trying to keep them focused on what has happening with them. They came up with a plan to get out by going through the wall. They started to ask around and look for people who would help start a way out of the city. Jason found a command booth in the bunker and asked the people if there is a way to communicate to other bunkers. There was. He asked if a message could be sent out to see if any are still running and if people in the bunkers could meet up on the south side of the wall that their at. Te message was sent out and replies started to come rushing in on a plan to get people out of the city. There was also another idea too. A defense plan started to rise. Jason and the rest of the group became leaders a escape plan and also a revolt. The next night the plan was to send out scout teams to gather supplies and weapons to make it through the wall. When the time came around Jason's group and another five man team was sent out to look for supplies and other bunkers also weapons. When Jason's group got out the soon realized that this was going to be hard. Most of the city has been carpet bombed. Jason radioed to the other group leader Carmen. He told them to look to the make a half circle and the 2 groups would take half of that half circle. Jason's group headed off to inn where they were at. And the other shifted from street to street watching for patrols from the invaders. When Jason's group got to the inn they were all relived it was still standing only part of the building was still intact. They went inside and got their gear and met back in the torn apart lobby. Jason looked down the street and saw a patrol coming down the street. Jason looked back to the group and said there's a patrol of 4 people coming down the street, all were armed with weapons of some sort. The group shifted over to the building on the right of the in. There they set up a trap and waited. Jason's group threw a grappling hook across the street to create a trip wire that would set off a bell and warn them they were right outside. 3 minutes later the bell went off. Jason's group spring into action throwing rocks and shooting arrows at them with cross bows. The patrol was quickly dealt with. The group quickly looted them and took their weapons then set on their way. Carmen's group was walking down a alley when they heard a approaching aircraft. They scattered in different directions into blown up or burnt down buildings. The aircraft landed in the middle of the street and unhooked a box from below it then took off. And wasn't seen again. The group was reluctant to coming out of the shadows. Clint one of the people in the group was the first one to come out of hiding. He approached the box cautiously walking around it to figure out what it was. The rest of the group followed soon after. A small ticking sound was coming off of the box. Carmen found a lock on the side of it. He turned to the others and asked if they have a key. They all shrugged and said no. He asked people to help lift it up. They lifted it and found a key under it. Carmen took the key and put it into the lock and turned it. The boxes top popped open and showed a small stash of weapons. And also some explosives also grenades. Carmen Radioed to Jason saying they found a weapons stash and are going to take it back to the bunker. Jason gave word that they found some supplies and told they they would meet them back in 3 hours. Jason's group moved out and started looking for supplies and other groups. Because of Carmen's group pulling back they had to look out in a larger area. They have the radios from the people they looted they all set them to different frequencies and started to broadcast and asking if people could hear them during that they also moved up to the top of a building that was still intact. This put them in a open position but also gave them a better way to look for people. Using the catwalks on top of buildings still intact to get around faster. Three hours had gone by and the group started to head back to base camp. They came across a scouting group from a different bunker.
