Choices

The Cruntis. That is where I live. I know it sounds like a really weird place, and it is if I'm honest. But the reason why you've never heard of it is because it is a distant world, where everything is different, and I do mean everything. In this world we have tribes, the Oculas, the Menders, and the Seekers. The Oculas see your outcome. No, not your future, your outcome. How you turn out, why you turn out like that, and lastly how you die. They are enemies with the Menders. The Menders...well, they don't always mend. They can erase your memories, and either contaminate them or make them the best things you have ever known, even if they aren't true. They're supposed to be the guardians of the world, but...that hasn't been happening much lately. Ah yes, the Seekers. They didn't always exist, you know.

They were created.

Ever heard of the classic, Romeo and Juliet? If you have, you know that there were two rivaling families, the Montagues and the Capulets. And Romeo and Juliet had a forbidden love. Think of the Oculas and the Menders as the two rivaling families. We have a Romeo and Juliet too, and they created the Seekers. The Seekers have all the powers of the Oculas and Menders combined. They are for the good of the people.

Dawn was an Ocula in training, but just like every other child with her, she had learned about the Seekers in her books, and was warned to never disobey the tribe or there would be dire consequences. Dawn was different...she knew how to think for herself. She was a Dreamer, and she didn't even know it. No one did. A Dreamer was unheard of; it was the start of a new life. Dawn always wondered why she was so different, why she wanted to be a Seeker and be good instead of being a part of her corrupted community. Little did she know that she would be leading more Dreamers into battle. Would she take the leap, or would she stay tethered to disaster?
