String Lights

Our story begins with the birth of a child. It is the year 2101, the start of the 22nd century. Chronicles, the land home to the smartest people in the universe, has been colonized by its neighbor country and placed under the oppressive dictatorship of a ruler who possesses a cruelty beyond imaginable. This dictator is the only known human in the universe to possess magical powers. Using his strengths, he has sucked out all of the light and warmth in the world of Chronicles, leaving it empty and cold.

But just as the citizens of Chronicles begin to lose hope, a glowing, powerful force is born into their midst. This source of strength comes from a young Chronicle girl. While she seems to be only a small, unremarkable ember now, what the people don't know is that she will later grow up to ignite and spread one of the wildest and fiercest figurative fires in the entire history of their country.

Our narrator has been born with a strong sense of patriotism, a definite will to fight for what she believes. But in a world gone both figuratively and literally dark and cold, in a world where all acts of rebellion are extinguished and shut down by the government, is it possible to survive as a patriot? Will it prove to be possible for just one individual to guide a nation's fate into the right direction?

And when the world is in such darkness, will there be light at the end of the tunnel?
