*please I wrote this story at 16/17. I'm 28 and I crying because I would rewrite this in a heartbeat especially coz I sound crazy* so read with caution* I fell in love. I fell in love with a fairytale. Oh Yes I did. You know that one story that gives every little girl hope out there that good things comes to those who wait even in rare but simple gems like a glass slipper. This hope carried me far and beyond. It's a fairytale that is relatable to any prospect of life. There will be your evil stepmother and evil stepsisters, your fairy godmother and your one true prince. It is a fairytale that understands the element of surprise: That what we seek can sometimes appear right in front of us without knocking on our doors. Most especially, it's a fairytale that understand the importance of love: A true prince may not come in shape of perfection but regardless of the imperfections and flaws, he would still remain perfect in your eyes. Regardless of its flaws, Africa was my father and Nigeria was my prince. Africa was my birthplace, born to the greatest warriors on the planet: Shaka Zulu, Nelson Mandela, Cleopatra, Kofi Annan even Didier Drogba the famous footballer. Most especially it was my home. It was the place I learnt to walk, talk, run and now 200000 feet above the ground I look down at my home. Little lights flickering everywhere like fireflies contrasting with the dark night. Maybe one day I will come back to my father. My prince. My Ile.

The Claxion government created the eugenics program with the promise of a brighter future. It started as a voluntary program, but failed to reach the sixty-five percent that was needed to improve future generations. Voluntary turned to legal requirement and legal requirement turned to force. Any Claxion that continued to refuse to be altered at the genetic level was tortured into submission. When torture failed to persuade, the executions started. It was that moment when the Rangers arrived and quickly devastated the government and military structures and left no eugenicist in power. The Claxion people had their day in court and all involved were sentenced to death for their crimes. The first generation following the eugenicists discovered a frightening reality. Space sickness was a death sentence for all who left the planet. The second generation lost most to the sickness, but others due to a softening of the bones. The third generation fared the same as the second. Trax'l was part of the fourth generation. He survived the sickness and received training to prevent the falls from killing him. He found work as ships security and is given an offer by the first Ranger he has ever met. Go through their training and become a Ranger. Trax'l owed the rangers everything and joining their ranks would mean he can repay them in some small way. Will Trax'l survive training and join their ranks?
