❝We were built on beams of lies and glass, and we were bound to shatter❞

No one knew why or how the world ended.

We've been lead to believe that we're one of the last civilizations on the planet.

And of course, the city of Novia wouldn't allow you to find that out.

They say that this kind of information is crucial to the society we live in. How it could destroy our purity and balance.

But I don't think that's why they keep it from us. I think that over those mountains is something they don't want anyone to see.

Something golden,
and beautiful.

Something that would show us the truth behind our world's dying.

But who am I to guess.

I don't know anything real about this world, same as everyone outside the wall Novia pushed us beyond.

* * *

A scarred yet undeniably beautiful city.

A wall that kept them separated.

A girl who's father was taken without reason.

And a boy who would do anything to keep his friends and family alive.

Welcome to Novia,
the last known city on planet Earth.

This is an original story.
