Utopia

Chapter 1 - The Meeting

Hi guys!!! It's my first time writing a story so I'm sorry if it's slow or if it's boring :/ But I sure hope you all continue to support Utopia!

---           

        When the Great Ruler XIV was slain by the Zephyrs during the Revolution, chaos descended on Utopia under the authoritarian rule of Shu, the leader of the Zephyrs. The Banshees, known in the whole of Utopia to be the most impartial, coupled with their ability to predict the future, had a long history of being the Great Rulers' advisors. They were also tasked to select a successor from the four great tribes to ascend the throne. However, this time, before the next successor was even chosen, the Banshees were mercilessly wiped out by the Zephyrs, as part of The Revolution.

        The other three tribes, the Pyros, the Mystics as well as the Terras could not remain in their seats knowing that the Zephyrs are trying to take over the world. However, all attempts to stop The Revolution failed as the Zephyrs, known for their wits, had already foreseen those thoughts and silenced them by killing off their leaders.

Dark ages fell upon Utopia and many prayed for a miracle; the emergence of a Banshee as well as the next Great Ruler.

        Thunder and lightning ruled the skies tonight as rain fell on Charcoal, capital for the Pyros, before The Revolution. Many stayed in their houses for fear of the Zephyrs and the creatures that lurked when the sun is down.

        What used to be a prosperous safe haven turned into a bloodshed land.

        'Knock knock,' someone was pounding on the door.

        Silence.

        'Knock knock knock,' the pounding grew louder.

        When a teenage boy, Ignito, opened the door, a young maiden collapsed into his arms. Touching her forehead, he quickly realised she was having a high fever and immediately brought her to an empty bed with the help of his mother. The two then rotated shifts throughout the night to take care of her.

        Next morning, when Ignito and his mum woke up, the bed was empty. They searched the entire house for the girl. Ignito found her sitting on the porch outside their house, staring intensely into the sunrise. Concerned, Ignito sat down beside her. The two of them spent the next few moments in silence.

        She finally turned to him, let loose and sigh, and said, 'I am the last Banshee, and you are chosen to be the next Great Ruler.'
