Refugees Stories

Once, in a land very far away, there was a tyrant. The tyrant's name was called the Wind Lord. He was said to rule his people with an iron fist, and he led them into war with the lands below his kingdom in the sky. The lands joined together, electing the Golden Plains as their capital until the war could be won. The land was in chaos for many years. Eventually, an ancient prophecy began to unfurl. A hero arose, ready to accept the challenge of defeating the Wind Lord and bringing prosperity to the Golden Plains and the rest of the land. Her name was Avian. Join Avian and Nor on an adventure that might just save the world. That is, if they can stay alive long enough to even realize that they're supposed to. Racheljjk and SummerSnow0 will take turns writing every other chapter and Ikabana7 will write about every ten chapters. We hope you enjoy!

**Old story, collecting dust on my shelf, and looking for some fresh eyes :) ** If the world wasn't falling apart, 17-year old Dani Clarke would be living a normal life as a teenager on Manitoulin Island. But years of savage storms have done a lot to change things. They've left most plant life and water sources dried up in the drought that's followed. They've decimated the world's populations, first with famine, then with global and civil wars fought over dwindling resources. They've made people like Dani refugees within their own countries. And according to Canada's new Sponsored Cities Act, refugees have to earn their chance to survive. When she and her family seek asylum in London, Ontario, Dani learns the price she has to pay for her family's safety and her own: a two-year term of service as a Sentry, one of the scouts deployed with the military supply convoys that travel between government-sponsored cities through the treacherous No Man's Land that separates them. Alongside fellow Sentries and allies among their convoy's soldiers, Dani struggles against brutality on both sides of the city walls, hoping to live to see things come back from the brink. What none of them realize is that this is only the beginning. The people living in No Man's Land, known as outliers, aren't as scattered and helpless as they're believed to be. They've organized, and they have their own plans to survive. Even if it means shattering what's left of the country to do it.

This is a story I wrote after I read the news about the refugee crisis Europe has been dealing with. "What is at stake is nothing less than the survival and well-being of a generation of innocents" -Antonio Guterres, UNHCR This story is about the journey refugees are being forced to take. I wrote this story after a lot of days of research and I can assure you that the political situation I describe as well as the paths taken by the refugees (and the time it takes to get from one place to another) are true. You must have in mind that we live in a very crazy world, and political positions (specially when they are related to war and economy) can change very fast. This story was written on October 10th, 2015. -If you don't know much about what is going on in Europe and about the refugee crisis I am talking about, read this little summary (that I wrote based on a BBC's article): Europe has been recently dealing with a migration crisis, asylum applications in Europe have surged this year. The numbers for Germany and Hungary already exceed their 2014 totals. By the end of July, 438,000 refugees had applied for asylum. Last year’s number was 571,000. According to the UNHCR, Germany is the most popular destination for migrants arriving in Europe; it has received the highest number of applications, more than 188,00 by the end of July 2015. (15,416 more than in the whole of 2014.) The IOM estimates that more than 350,000 migrants were detected at the EU’s borders between January and August 2015. The biggest driver of this migration has been the conflict in Syria followed by the violence in Afghanistan and abuses in Eritrea. Oh, and English isn't my first language so bear with me, please :)
