Welcome to Trench.

In the lowest reaches of a barren world of grey and neon, there is a city called Dema, surrounded by walls and controlled by nine Bishops. There, children and adults of all ages are taught to perform with efficiency and obedience. There is no way out - but why would they want to leave? They have shelter, food, clothes, and most importantly, consistency. 

Two young men dream of something outside of Dema. They are forced to keep quiet about their dreams and dim the light in their eyes, for if they are caught with thoughts like these, they will surely be published. It would be easier to stay and conform, like everyone else. But still, myths of a land outside of Dema and a mysterious band called the Banditos occupy their minds until they know they must escape.

---

A fairly literal and entirely fictional interpretation of the music videos and some lyrics from Twenty Øne Piløts' new album Trench, as well as Clancy's journal.

Trigger warnings: depression, suicide, self-harm, etc. 
Stay safe.

"There will be Three, kin of your kin, who hold the power to reshape the world and defy the shadows." Only Skeletons Remain follows the intertwined stories of three generations bound by the oppressive grip of DEMA, a city of neon lights and despair. Miguel, a Bandito rebel and former Lorekeeper, struggles to free his family from the tyrannical rule of the DEMA High Council. After escaping and discovering his father's grave in the Neon Graveyard, he becomes embroiled in a war for survival, ultimately forced to lead the Banditos after the death of their leader. Haunted by his transformation into a bishop, Miguel's journey is one of sacrifice, rebellion, and self-redemption as he battles to dismantle DEMA's control over their world. Years later, Javier took on the role of Lorekeeper, tasked with preserving the history of those lost to DEMA's cruelty. His path leads him into the secrets of the council and the power of forbidden knowledge, putting him at odds with the rulers of the city. His quiet defiance and cunning stewardship of the Lorekeeper's archives laid the foundation for the Banditos' future uprising. Years later, Harper, Javier's daughter, embarks on her own journey to break free from DEMA's brainwashing, leading her siblings and allies in a fight for freedom. Corrupted and manipulated by the High Council, she must face the darkness within and around her as she unravels the mysteries of her family's past and takes up the torch to destroy DEMA once and for all. DISCLAIMER: this is purely fictional, and I made this just for fun! All of it is made up! :) Rights to the DEMA universe belong to Twenty One Pilots.

I am just picking a name since I prefer to write characters with a name and not (y/n) thanks everyone!❤️ Also, time and time-lines are important in this story like in real life. I tried to make this story as realistic as possible. Also! Some strong language!

You and a friend camp out all day to get a stop close up to Josh's drums. All is normal until the end... I got a prompt idea from an Instagram post which I will show in the 1st chapter.
