In the year 2100, a scientist discovered how to create genetically advanced humans. By inserting certain chemicals into them, these humans obtained advanced skills such as X-Ray Vision, Super Speed, and could even have weapons emerge from their body. This was hailed as the development of the millenium. Thirty years later, the Hybrid Humans overthrew regular humans. Chemicals were now in their genes, which meant that babies could be born with natural genetic advancements, and were thus more powerful than ordinary humans. Those who didn't have the chance to get injected, called mortals, were driven to near extinction. The survivors now hide in the jungles outside the glamorous cities. In these jungles, there exists a young girl, burning with hate, longing for revenge...

"Before I show you who I am, I want you to remember what you're fighting for," Aide replied cautiously and gave them all a piercing stare. "Keep an open mind." "Just tell us, lad," Hanke snarled impatiently and bobbed his sword. "Brace yourselves," Aide said as he slowly reached for his hood. Emaia's heart pounded vigorously in her chest, so loudly, she feared people could hear. This was it. She would finally see the face of her rescuer, the face she had so longed to see. Aide gave them all one last lingering look before he closed his eyes. "Your whole world is about to change." He punctuated his sentence by pulling off his hood. The entire crowd gasped and all readied their weapons, as long silver hair burst free from the cloak and long slender ears appeared. It was impossible, Emaia thought. They had been extinct for decades. But there was no denying it. She looked at the man who had rescued her a few nights ago, and remembered him as charming and valiant. It all made so much sense now-why he could do, what he could do. He was an elf. And not just any elf. - A Northern Elf.
