There was a sound
like thunder and the ground cracked in two. A massive cloud of fire
and smoke erupted towards the sky and a rushing shock wave blew
outwards in all directions. Buildings were demolished miles around
and the radiation seeped into the crevices of the earth. Hundreds of
thousands of people were dead, consumed by flames or having the life
crushed out of them by sheer force of power. Tree and shrubs were
stripped of their leaves and branches and even the bark. The
devastation was intense and unlike any other the world had ever seen.
The bombs dropped and the world went up in flames and was consumed
by fire and radiation leaving few survivors. Eighty-five percent of
the population was dead. Fourteen percent were mutated into horrible
monsters with a thirst for blood. The remaining one percent were
poisoned with enough radiation to grant them long life, but at the
cost of having some painful sickness like a bloody cough or awful
migraines that plagued them for the rest of their lives.
As time progressed
the population slowly began to increase. The survivors started
colonies, formed alliances, and began to rebuild. A powerful
government arose called The Council lead by a mysterious power-hungry
leader known only as The Judge. The Council took it upon themselves
to rule over the land that became known as Mandolia. All the
villages became under the rule of The Judge who sat on his throne in
the capital castle Rockheart.
Strange human
beings with super powers started appearing throughout the land. They
became known as Light-bringers and became the heroes of the
wastelands. They brought justice and order to the land, but also
began to oppose the forces of The Council. Though some were not so
good intentioned and joined forces with The Council. Even still they
were Light-bringers, bringing forth light into the new world.
Slowly the world
began to rebuild itself, but not without conflict. The winds of war
blew even as the world struggled to survive.
