Parallel

The world had been in an undisturbed peace ever since 'the selected' had saved and reshaped it into a much better place. But now, concerns are highlighted, as unforeseen happenings begin to unfold.
As regular humans go about their daily and normal lives, those with more knowledge prepare for the worst, as they silently hope 'the selected' would rise again and once more save them all from what was about to come.

Sneak Peak:

The sky was unusually dark and gloomy, as if it knew what was about to come. Edward and the others had trained for what seemed like a long time and finally, their day of reckoning had arrived. Tomorrow would be the fight of their lives, the fight for their world and their families, if they still had any. But it didn't matter, they would put an end to all of this, even if it cost them their lives.
Edward gazed at the stars with a heavy heart, he was deep in thought as his mind rummaged through all that had happened so far. A lot had changed and he missed school, he missed his parents, he missed being am ordinary normal kid.
He was lost in thought and was oblivious to his surroundings until he felt someone touch him from behind, coming back to the present, he turned around to meet Sonya staring at him.
"Can't sleep either?" She asked him in a somber tone
He averted his eyes from her and once more stared at the stars, then he looked back at the way she had come and replied;
"I doubt if any of us can sleep, this will be very different from training drills" he said solemnly
"Yeah" she replied as she also looked away with her own thoughts clouding her mind
"Never thought I could go from being a regular high school kid to some kind of weird warrior magician" Edward commented as he tried to ease the tension in the air a bit.

"We will make it out alive, right?" Sonya asked with deep concern as she wasn't sure if she had just made a sentence or asked a question.
"Yeah, we will, we have to" he replied
