It had been a day like any other day the world had seen. However this day would prove to be unlike any other day. The whole world underwent a dramatic transformation on this particular day.
Land masses shifted about changing shape, weather patterns shifted, new seas and lakes formed, and some islands disappeared beneath the waves while other islands rose up.
It wasn't only Earth itself that changed. Plants, animals, objects, and humans also transformed. Some objects became plants, animals, or humans. Some plants became objects, animals, or humans. Well you get the idea. Some transformed into combinations creating new beings and beings from myth.
While everything transformed physically there were also some mental transformations. The most common were with objects and plants transforming into animals or humans gaining a mind and intelligence. Some humans had just enough of a mental change to allow them to use their new forms while a few had more. Then there are the rare ones that had a complete mental transformation forgetting their old lives. The vast majority of people however did not have any type of mental change.
About half of the people on Earth lost consciousness when The Event, as it started being called just after it occurred, happened. The time they were unconscious varied but the longest is 24 hours. During that time it is discovered that more transformations could happen. It might be from eating something, a smell, the absence or presence of light, or because of someone using some powers they gained. Some people also found themselves in a different location than they had been previously.
Now the people, animals, plants, and objects must live in this new world. Who do we follow though?
