Sun
The agitating heat blazes through my skin with one slight touch. This is the end of everything; this is the end of us. I peek outside our window and I see no one in sight.. No cars, no animals, no people. If we can’t bear to be in the sun what in the world will we do? “Daddy, I want to go outside.” My eight year old daughter, Angelica, cries. “Go in your room and play with your dolls, Gel.” She rolls her eyes and stomps into the backroom. It breaks my heart to see her world crumble.

Enter the Phoenix
It was the year 2250, the world everyone knew as planet Earth had been reduced to a near desolate wasteland after being invaded by the dreaded Umbraxians. Gargoyle-like aliens that possess dark magic called the “Necroforce”, but the true extent of this power could only be unlocked by a large ingestion of water. Something their planet lacked. Twenty-Two years prior Earth’s astrologists discovered a mysterious 10th world, in the Solar System and initiated a homing beacon to attract possible life. This action proved to be dire, as the lifelong fear of an alien invasion became a reality. The beings from planet Umbra followed the homing signal to Earth and drained the latter’s entire water supply; from the oceans to lakes to rivers everything was drained, causing worldwide drought and decimating over half the planet’s population.

Journey Through the Dark
Under the vast canvas of a starless night, a great forest lay. The trees, majestic and towering, stood as silent guardians over the world below. The darkness was near absolute, save for the flickering light of a single lamp standing at the edge of a clearing. It stood as a beacon in the relentless sea of shadows, a lone sentinel against the encroaching dark.
