Imagine a time of war and death. Every turn you'd make would be filled with despair and suffering. No escape from the violence around you. And you had to make a choice. Peace and love or Betrayal and revenge. That was the start of 2172, seven hundred and twenty eight years ago. Everyone had to make a choice no matter their age or gender. Regardless of anything a choice was expected of you and that choice would determine where your stance was. The world never knew it was going into war. No one know what the future holds, so the earth never knew the chaos that was about to unfold. Let go back to the day it started. The day that has only been recorded in one history book. The day everyone lost something our normal lives. October 3rd 2172 the day the rebellion declared war on the empire. The atmosphere was tense the tension between both leaders could be seen in every nation. Every citizen had ther own thoughts on this govemental feud. Some saw it as pointless and too personal for the public while others used it as ammunition. On October 3rd 13:05 war was declared and the rebellion and empire attacked. For that day on our world as we knew it has come to an end.

Life was hard during the war. At one point the rebellion was winning. Almost as if they knew the empire's next move before it happened. That was exactly the case the empire had a mole. The leader of the rebellion was secretly sending her soilders into the empire's amry. When the empire's leader found out she made it her goal to murder every single traitor she could find the empire now had the upper hand. The war had gone on for one hundred and seventy nine years. The people we're growing restless. The grief the world was bottling up was leaking and it could be seen in the all aspects of the nation, including the empire and rebellion. More importantly by the the armies years of losing friends. Years of intense training everyone was sick and tired. Whichment the war must have come to an end soon. But it didn't it lasted for another 179 years and the leaders of the rebellion and empire and a few close friends disappeared of the face of the earth. The year was 2530 the end of the war and the start of the Great Grief. The nation's we scattered wide. Society as we knew it was gone and broken. Humans became selfish animals greiving and dying out. Slowly tribes started to form and humanity was taking place again. Until Andrew Benson took control of the rest if the survivors. He rounded them up and lead them to salvation. Creating a safe home for everyone. Away from any memoriesof war. That was three hundred years ago. Now Mr Benson is in charge, long ago walls were bulit along the city to keep everyone safe. And Mr Benson made sure every rules is being practice and followed and he is keen on keeping them. The war is a long forgotten memory and life has moved on. This new way of normal has allowed society to start again following the necessary rules:

1. Stick to the 1:00 AM curfew.
2. Attend all meetings in your district.
3. Make sure to report any suspicious behaviour to your district leader.
4. Do not act reckless in your district.
5. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES TRAVEL OUTSIDE THE BARRIER
6. ALWAYS FOLLOW RULE#5
7. Do not enter any restricted areas without permission from the govement.
8. Do not commit arson, murder or any other crimes.
9. Do not waste, hide or selfishly keep any resources.
10. Swear the oath to follow each rule and if you are caught breaking a single one you will suffer the punishment accordingly.

Now to the common law abiding citizen these rules would be easy to follow but to a curious teen with a not so good influence it might be a bit harder. The world has changed and people have evolved surviving is necessary. But how long can the people of plenus-terra survive under these strict rules. More importantly what does Gabriella have to do with any of this?
