"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.
Our current Mother, Ravenia, has been to hell and back for the safety of our Lands. Her and the warriors who protect us have faced death numerous times. These past five years for us have not been easy. We’ve lost loved ones and we’ve had to rebuild the walls that have protected us for hundreds of years. However, don’t let the blood that’s spilt on our grounds these past few years scare you. The Paradise Lands have stood for hundreds upon hundreds of years. They will continue to stand. Our history and our 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.”
