A time of great turmoil, has come into the world. A time of civil strife and war, this world has never known. A time when babes, still dwelling in the womb; begin to lash out, at their mothers. Freak storms erupt on the land, laying waste, and then dissolving into nothingness; as if it never were.
Disease and famine rage in all parts of the globe. Yet, there still were pockets of great prosperity; indifference; and vice. This shame was shrouded by gleaming fortressed cities: large metropolises of promise, which can not be kept.
In the regions, encompassing these walled citadels; were processing plants, warehouses, and monolithic factories. In the sewers, swamps, and marsh lands, one would find mutants. These rejected are the refuse, from government and corporate sponsored super soldier programs: Men and women of honor, literally thrown to the wind. They loose everything: their families; their status; and ultimately, their humanity. They know nothing but hatred and revenge. Revenge against the system that created them; used them; then forgotten them.
In the old farming districts, and forests; dwell throw backs, to a more desolate time. On once abundant tracts of land, are vast refuge camps; littered with slime ridden shanties, filled with the hidden horrors of slavery.
All of the above, and more; best describe the world, … just before its end.
A cast of characters
1] The Protagonists: Twenty years old, Kwame Davids; his mother from Ghana, and his father from southern Georgia. For the past six years, Kwame, has been plagued; not just by the death of his parents, but also by nightmares: elaborate dreams, of an impending doom.
2] Intelligence director, Mark Benin: Benin answers only to the Governor General; leader of the Northern Sector Alliance. Mark has one main mission; to find the present location, of Caleb Fairchild. Then wait for further instructions.
3] Commander, Jonathan Michaels: Michaels leads an elite unit of field agents. They answer to him only. He answers exclusively to Director, Mark Benin. Jonathan, also, has been plagued with dark dreams.
4] Caleb Fairchild: Fairchild is heir to the Fairchild fortune. His family line can be traced back before the Mayflower; then there is the rumor, of a royal blood line. But, this is idle chat. Caleb is a world traveler, and collector of antiquities. Caleb was last scene, six years ago; roaming the vast halls and corridors, of an obscure archive in Eastern Europe. No one has caught sight of him since.
5] The Twins: Two celestial sentinels; both sent to earth, as protectors and guides to Kwame Davids. One is a six foot four wall of sinewed muscle; a dark complexioned male, with shoulder length braids. The other is shorter in stature; but, fierce in battle. The shorter of the two, is Asian in appearance; with a slim, athletic build. He being consistent in his attire: always wearing a light brown skull cap, pulled down, over his eye brows; a light brown sweat shirt; and dark brown baggy shorts. The last, and most unusual of his characteristics; is his wearing of open toed/ open healed, leather sandals: even during the winter seasons.
6] Governor General, Demos Charismma: Demos is the leader of the Northern Sector Alliance. A man, who amazingly appeared, on the political scene; fifteen years ago. Charismma moved quickly up the ranks; of the most secretive of societies, to finally stand second to the “throne”. Second only, to the Supreme Governor General, Of The World Ruling Council. Note: The Governor Generals, supposedly, answer to the people of their sector. Demos Charismma, answers only to a magnificent; yet, mysterious light.
