"Would you like to hear a story children? About the fall of our governments, our civilizations, and finally our Earth?
Well you see, it started over hundreds of years ago when the great men who led the past nations wanted to play 'Who's got the biggest cock?' It started as bluffs, men threatening others with their nuclear warheads. Then the day came when the bluffing stopped. It is said from stories passed down that it didn't take long. It was over in a matter of hours. As soon as one missile was launched, all the others played follow the leader. Everybody wanted to create great pain on others, for they knew that their people would feel it. No man should have had that much power in their hands. Our fate was sealed that day, thanks to a handful of men on a power trip. Reactors exploded, the bombs took out many cities and great populations. A good portion of life was wiped out in almost one day. Radiation levels spiked, choking out life and hopes of new life.
Many, many years had passed after the warheads had been fired. Unfortunately, the Earth was not getting better. The Earth was sick it seemed, rotting away on the inside. Wildlife withered, water evaporated, life itself was slowly slipping away. It was during this time that the first generation of 'Blessed Ones' were born. Humans, with fascinating abilities and powers that none thought were possible. However, it was a single Blessed One that seemed to give hope to others. They called her Mother of Water; you see, her power was the ability to pull water from midair. She was known far and wide and many flocked to her, asking for her help. She always willingly helped others, never questioning.
This was the time that the Paradise Land was created. It was a great fortress built to house people and provide them with the needs of life. It also came in handy as a means of protection when the Dead began to arrive. Men, women, and children alike were beginning to arise from their graves and were on a hunt for the flesh of the living. They were slow, dumb creatures that ran on the most simple of instincts. To feed. The Blessed Ones and human warriors alike fought bravely against every wave of Dead that came their way. Always thriving, fighting to continue on living.
Now, today, our Paradise Lands have seen many hard times. We have fought both mean and the dead, alike, to keep our people alive. About five years ago, our current Mother, faced her greatest foe yet. A man named Cypher, with him he brought a group of zealots. These people were devoted to him until their dying breaths. He caused great hard times for our people, his own people had claimed the lives of some of our very own during their siege. I’ll never forget the day that he arrived at our gates. Claiming himself the new King of the Paradise Lands. Mother, with her band of fiercest warriors stood atop the walls of our fortress and faced down the threat.
That was the time that the 3 Day War happened. It is a crucial point in our history, children. During that time much of our beautiful city was destroyed. The people grew scared and hope was slowly becoming lost. At that time, we all thought that the Paradise Lands had been lost, many had blamed Mother for that. However, she proved her stuff and calmed the nerves of her children and they all began the rebuilding of our Lands.
We’ve since expanded outwards. It was almost like the Lands were reborn. We’ve closed our gates to most outsiders but we aren’t completely heartless. We created the Safe Grounds to allow people refuge who come wandering in from the Red Waste. This is where we allow them to go through a trial period to see if they may allow them into the Lands. We have also created the High Tops. These high vantage points are littered all around the Lands, creating a life above us all. This is where our sharpest eyes are set up so as they might be easily able to detect any threats that may be wandering in from the Red Wastes.
The Paradise Lands have stood for hundreds of years. They will continue to stand. Our history and out future have been carved in stone, much like the great walls that surround us and fortify our city. No matter what force may come knocking at the metal doors of our Lands, our warriors and whatever Mother we have will always face it with no fear in their eyes. Humans and Blessed Ones alike will fight to keep our Lands in Paradise. Be proud of your history children, for you are our future.”
This is a rough draft, or maybe the actual thing. I don't know yet. I feel like I'm too focused on Mother. Once I know all the other stories I may revamp it.
