Intro: When the heavy door creaked open the small girl gasped at the cold air that hit her bare legs. The air that now filled her lungs, was quick to leave in a small laugh as she saw the view ahead of her. A thick blanket of fluffy snow covered every branch, rock, and building in sight. It sparkled under the bright sun. The girl didn't know how lucky she was to see the outdoors under these weather circumstances. The sky was usually painted in a sea of gray clouds that snowed endless white powder onto the kingdom 11 months out of the year. The brunette couldn't contain her smile as she peered out of the doors. It didn't matter that she could see her breath, or that goosebumps littered her skin, her feet stinging against the cold stone. She hadn't been outside- ever. ~~~~~~~~ A Knight saves her and then he leaves her. A broken hearted Nymph in a brand new world. Will he come back for her? ~~~~~ All pictures are from Pinterest!

Essence... spirit... that which gives meaning to life. It isn't the soul which is necessary for life. Even when a mortal has a soul, without essence... the mortal becomes an empty shell existing for nothing. Our father, he created us pure and perfect. He doesn't want us to soil our bodies and so he never gave us body parts for procreation. When we rebelled against him because we wanted to have relationships with our own kind, he had no choice but to allow. But with his decision, we are no longer perfect... but we are still pure. Is it because we were jealous of his other creation that we wished to love and procreate? No that's not the only reason. Perfection can be achieve through completeness. Right now we are like mannequins. I thought that this was the only problem amongst our brethren. Then, some of us requested our father about experiencing rebirth so that they can change erase the accumulated memories from specific essences collected from mortals. The Rebirth System... the main reason for the first war where we fell apart and the second reason why this story exists...

Earth, 20 October 2120 Today, I'm flying to Singapore to visit my brother. But something changed. Midway through the flight, our plane was attacked. Red snow began to fall, the sky darkened, and creatures from myth stirred in the clouds-watching, whispering nameless fears. Now, I can't tell who I'm supposed to save first... or if any of us can still be saved at all.

People exposed to those spore turned into living corpses in less than a minute, instinctively preying over the healthy ones with unsatiable hunger. Quickly overwhelmed by the situation, world governments lost control of the majority of their national territories. Whether by pragmatism or pure selfishness, millions of individuals were abandoned by those who swore to protect them. Authoritarian governments were established to protect the new elites and those useful to their cause. Fortune settlements were built all around the world by those who were abandonned, fighting for the meager resources left behind. Mysterious organizations rose in prominence, aiming to become the leader of this new world order. Amidst of this madness, a man going by the name of Aether unlocked the military system, a mysterious technology capable of changing the fate of the entire world.

The year is 2372, Humanity has been at war with an unnatural enemy known only as the Dark Forces. Nearly the entire western hemisphere is in ruin, billions dead within the first weeks of conflict. In the wake of this global threat, humanity united under one banner, their military force being formed into the Earth Defense Task Force. Despite holding back the Dark Forces from completely eradicating the human race, the EDTF is severely outmatched against such a powerful foe. Many Decades after the western hemisphere became a draconic wasteland, the EDTF had begun development of Project Firebreak, a hand-picked set of individuals to become humanity's best warriors. I become the leader of this team. This is my story, should I live to one day tell it.

A father scared of losing his peace choses control the bored. And the Collapse that forced all their fragments together. Waking up with no memory, Tait is thrown into a world of uncertainty. Possessing strange powers from another realm and haunted by a terrifying feeling that he's forgotten something crucial-possibly everything that truly matters-his forgotten but still felt agony sharpens his instinct for conflict. Although he starts utterly lost, slowly the fragments come together, revealing a clearer picture. The life he was torn from resurfaces with a chilling realization: this time, restoring his world could cost him everything-unless he can convince the gods, whose presence shafted his world to disembark. Joined by his family, Tait fights against corrupted factions that shattered his childhood and extinguished the light in many others. But are they fighting the real enemy, or is there someone controlling them all behind the scenes? The picture grows clearer, having Tait wonder if any of his actions were truly his own. This story will have something for everyone. You will find a piece of yourself within the words, or perhaps between them. Dare to look yourself in the mirror? If you are curious Act 16 may make the picture a little clearer before diving head in. c:
