The year is 2016 and it's been three years since The Barrier fell. What was The Barrier you ask. You must have been in a coma. Very well, I will tell you. The Barrier was what separated the mystical and physical worlds. When it fell the worlds merged together violently. Many volcanoes that scientists thought were extinct erupted along with active and dormant ones. The world rang like a bell due to the sheer number of earthquakes. Many islands disappeared beneath the waves of massive tsunamis. The west coast of the United States was wiped out. Storms raged across the globe. There were tornadoes with winds in excess of 600 miles an hour.
Many countries were hit hard. China was hit the hardest population wise as all but one percent of their population perished. The worlds population was drastically reduced. Those that survived had a tough time. The satellites in orbit were destroyed so global communication was cut off. Weather patterns and climates shifted.
Some of the survivors were transformed. Some were transformed into inanimate objects, some were transformed into animals, some were transformed in mythical creatures, and some remained human except their bodies were changed in some way.
During the first months of the chaos people rose up and lead the survivors into rebuilding what they could. Governments had changed. The most drastic governmental change was the United States that became a monarchy.
Now you can see dragons and flying carpets in the sky. There are no jets or cars. Most of the technology no longer worked. A way was found to communicate through magic mirrors. This also enabled a form of TV to continue and information was now stored on crystals which allowed for more information to be stored than the old Blu-ray DVDs.
Now who does our story focus on?
