Disclaimer-this is undergoing editing, so if it doesn't make sense, then oh well. Five kids born with elemental powers are ripped away from everything they know and are introduced to a world where things are much more dangerous than anyone could have known. Meeting others exactly like them and going against the very government that found them, this group of unlikely hero's must break out of their carefully crafted shells and defeat a villain that is intent on killing and retaining all their power.​ Feb 25th, 2021 - #1 Groupproject

He's damaged. He's lost. And worse of all, his memories have come to life. If he wants to find peace, he'll need to redefine what it really means to move on. -- For the first time in years, Atlas feels like he's separated himself from the misfortune in his life. He's healed, he's rented a decent apartment, he's settled into a solid-enough-for-him job working as a grunt for some scientists. Now he's (reluctantly) traveling to the spring snows of Alaska, where they plan to test the first run of their earthquake-harnessing technology. But something goes wrong. They don't harness the energy of an earthquake. No. Instead, the ground rips apart. A massive crevice forms, leading deep into the Earth. The chasm lulls him forward like a Siren, telling him tales of his mother, of her laughter, of her scent of strong sandalwood, and of his life before her death. Waking up in what he can only describe as Hell, he's confronted with every misfortune in his life. Forced to befriend mirages made from his most painful childhood memories or pay severe consequences, he travels the twisted realm in search of answers.

The synopsis on my story mostly focuses on Leah Baltazar who struggles with her past. She is guilty of a crime she can't bring herself to accept. Other than her, her brothers and her friends also have some inner conflicts of love, identity, family, and religious beliefs that they're facing. When they go on a hiking trip, Leah and her friends stumble upon an underground tower which they reluctantly explore, but the underground tower collapses and the group runs further down where they discover that they have been transported into a different world of goblins and darkness. Amidst the chaos and the confusion in the middle of a village raid, they get separated. Leah and Manu get kidnapped by goblins; Joshua, KC, and Yash get saved by the Rogue of Lilies who fight for faith, justice, and hope. During their journey, they are faced with their inner conflicts, especially Leah who is ready to give up herself to despair and to the Darkness. She allowed herself to get swallowed by a demonic creature and her brother and friends escape to a forgotten spiritual realm where they trade their life temporarily. In the real world, however, they are unconsciously in a deep sleep in the hospital while the Baltazar family reveals that Leah isn't who she thinks she is.
