Infinity

I lived in the nature district. There were five districts in my city; the fire district, the nature district, the water district, the sorcery district, and the capitol district. The Capitol district consists of shops, the school, the courthouse, a few small restaurants, and the town square which contained the Infinity Torch. There are other cities, villages and towns, of course. There are Elven villages, cities filled with Morphs (animal-human hybrids), even towns full of sorcerers and sorceresses. But all of them have an Infinity Torch. Every city in the country does.

Now, that's exactly why today was so special. Today was the lighting of the Infinity Torch. Every winter the Infinity Torch would be relit. And yes, that may sound contradicting to the name, but it isn't. You see, as time goes on, the Infinity Torch dims. And to keep it bright, they choose two 7th grade children, a boy and a girl, to walk into the center of the city and light the torch. 7th grade was at age 16, and it was the last year of school.
