Do you remember the sun? How it felt so warm against your skin in the Summer Time? And when it was winter, how the sun melted away the snow so quick you didn't even get to build a snowman? Or when it was rainy, and all the clouds swirled in the sky, and how you wished the sun would appear again, and then, as if the sky had read your mind, the sun streaked through the darkness, bringing the light again? Do you remember that?
No. You couldn't remember that. You don't even know what the sun looks like. You've never seen it before.
Because before you were born, clouds snarled and twisted and covered the earth's sky completely in darkness. Slowly plants died, horrible winds started howling, electric items were dieing out, and then coldness took over the rest. People were distraught. 'Why was this happening?' they wondered 'Did we do something so bad to deserve this?'. People, too, soon were dieing off as the clouds inched their way around the world. Word got out that there was an island in the middle of the ocean that hadn't been completely taken by darkness, so everyone who was strong enough raced towards any transportation they could find. Only two ships made it to the island. Every other plane, or boat, or submarine was nowhere to be found, it's most likely that they're all at the bottom of the Ocean now, all wrecked by the frequent storms that have started happening because of the darkness.
Soon the island was covered with clouds too, but the people stayed, afraid that if they left, the storms would take them down to the bottom of the ocean too.
As years passed, a few people lost hope of ever seeing the sun again. The side that still believed that the clouds would disappear one day couldn't help but be furious when they found out they others had given up.
A feud broke out between the two sides, and separated from each other. The ones who believed the sun would return named their group Fein and went to the South half of the island, and the ones who had accepted and believed the clouds would never leave named their group Norjei and went to the North side of the island. Of course there is more to that story than just that, but it has been lost in the wind for years.
Now one Hundred years have passed and still no sun has shined through the clouds, Still there are two groups on either side of the island, and Still why the clouds came is a mystery. Only one thing has changed. With the darkness came powers. People realized they had these powers only five decades ago, and are still learning to adapt to them now, most having at least one power, whether it's telepathy, invisibility, or controlling water, or something else beyond that.
But never has anyone been given the power of light.
It's what we need most now, but no one possesses the power of it.
Now one can sometimes start a fire, though it is very hard since everything is damp or blown out by wind and coldness. Sometimes one can make an electric item, but it lasts no more than a few days before the coldness drains it of power. And sometimes one can even feel a glimpse of warmth at their fingertips, but then it is taken away by coldness.
Everything is taken by coldness now.
Are you sure you're tough enough to endure?
