Cure for a Nation
In the wild lands of Aurora, from the frozen seas in the north to the dusty peaks in the south, a war was raged. The war was between two great powers. In the western forests rested the Steel Imperium that relied on the brute strength of its advanced mechanical engineering and weapon systems while the Warriors of Technology in the east fought with precise devices and guerrilla tactics. The Imperium wanted to unite the territories of Aurora under one leader while the Warriors wanted to keep to tradition and let the territories govern themselves. The war was a long and bloody one that lasted for seventy years until the Imperium broke through the Warrior's lines and razed their capitol. At the same time, however, the Warriors slipped by and decimated the Steel Imperium's factories and destroyed their own cities. The factions fought until the bitter end, leaving nothing but wastelands and empty cities on both sides. Now seven years have passed and a disease has arisen from the ruins of Aurora and threatens to decimate the remaining population. Out of the sick and ever shrinking population, there is but one woman who has the means to find the cure. This is the story of Claire and her search for answers. Commenting encouraged.

Her mother sends her to Nevermore, a school for outcasts, claiming it will help with Aurora's "sickness"-her delayed wolf-shifting ability.

Isadora Capri is a 34-year-old music teacher at Nevermore and a lone wolf. Though she has no pack, she carries the strength and independence of an alpha, tempered by a quiet anxiety that comes from always relying on herself. She is skilled, love and respected by many, but beneath her composed exterior, she struggles with loneliness and the weight of her own unspoken fears. Music has long been her sanctuary-a way to process emotions and unspoken struggles. ''I believe that music can heal the wounds that medicine can't touch.'' ''And I believe dancing can heal the parts of us that music touches only halfway.''
