The Ball Of Timberpoint

The world has ended, illness spread, a war started and every day was another hundred funerals. Now everyone is dead, but there is this one little town in England where there is food, water, people. Timberpoint. So people would call it a miracle, some would call it a coincidence and some people would say they would rather be dead. Because the truth is Timberpoint isn't a normal town it survives on magic. Magic provided by the Eligere, a group of immortal creatures that feed off a human's life force.

They have kept the town safe for centuries and all they ask in return is that every five years twelve fifteen year old children are sent to the Timberpoint Ball. In this ball the children's life forces are take and whatever has gone wrong in the town will get better and things will go back to normal.

The Timberpoint ball is this year, and I've been invited.
