The Ascendant Cycle

In a world ravaged by war and destruction, there were four people who were born into a society that was surrounded by walls and raised in a small community within the walls, never knowing what lay beyond. Their lives were strictly controlled by the government, with rules and regulations dictating every aspect of their existence.

As they grew up, the four individuals were taught to fear the outside world and to obey the government's strict laws. They were trained in basic survival skills and were told that their purpose in life was to serve the city and its rulers.

However, as they approached their 14th birthdays, something strange began to happen. Each of them started having vivid dreams where they were standing outside the walls, gazing at a vast and desolate landscape. And in these dreams, they were filled with a sense of longing and curiosity, a desire to explore the world beyond their sheltered existence.
