*Note: This is based off an old and discontinued story that had its outline scrapped and reworked to fit the prompts for the ONC. Essentially, a new book for this competition. Only the core concept, title and the protagonist's name are kept the same.* ----- A ribbon, a hair-clip, a pen, a notebook and a radio, held in the arms of a sixteen year old girl... ... It's been four hundred of years since The Rot ravaged the world and sent people downward with its decaying touch, four hundred years since humanity has inhaled even a breath of fresh air and twenty years since the first fifth-generation child was born in the shelters deep underground. And now, beneath the poisoned earth at the edge of the world, only six of them remain living in the last surviving shelter, the last surviving Lifelight illuminating a darkened board. For the rest were claimed by The Rot. Protected at all costs, older generations shields the worst of the consequences, the worst of the panic, but truth cannot be hidden forever. With increasing tensions and increasing crime, it becomes clear that there are only two outcomes: to die in strife or to die in silence. That is, until an inexplicable hope presents itself in the form of a radio transmission originating from the single most uninhabitable place on Earth, the surface. But it's too late, too late for most, other than the most protected, the youngest, the fifth generation. The waiting game is over and now it's a race against time. Before The Rot reaches them, before they run out of supplies, the handful of survivors must reach out and find the source of the transmission. From this, there are only two possible results: death or a secured future. *Cover done by the amazing @toruinagod*

Cyra is trying to escape from her luxurious prison of a life. Rin is trying to escape from all the people trying to kill him. The only way they can be free is to escape the planet Candalis-to make it from Austral City, the enormous polar metropolis, to the starport at the burning equator. To do so, they will have to survive everything a murderous government can throw at them as well as the harsh environment of Candalis itself. And they will have to trust each other, which is harder than it sounds. Because Rin has a power that is whispered about in legends, and the legends say that it makes a person into evil incarnate. This book is the first part of a trilogy that I will probably never finish, but the ending is just enough of a resolution that I thought I should post it here anyway. It was originally conceived as a sort of cyberpunk Star Wars.

Imma let this keep a mystery factor to it. When I have enough of my storys posted things should make sense, so furst off a maanlup is a Canid being that can stand and move in both feral and humanoid ways. The Maanlup also have electrical and magnetic abilitys. Kyohi is from a race of a collective hivemind called the Ecus, he was recently disconnected from the collective and now is exploring the world of freewill. The female in the story is Sovno, I never refer her by her name because I don't like calling a character by their name unless they have been addressed by it. Sovno is a mutant in the sense she doesn't have a strong magnetic field and her the plazma she creates is dramatically stronger than normal Maanlup plazma. Also keep in mind im not happy with my weighting in this at all, thats why im practicing. Im thinking of putting this in the novel when i have a more polished version but as of now this definitely isn't something im proud of other then it being the birth of Amber who is my favorite character to write by far.
