As the world teetered on the brink of destruction, chaos struck suddenly. Initially, heavy winds swept through, followed by tornadoes that wreaked havoc. A week later, flooding ensued, and just when it seemed things couldn't get worse, earthquakes shook the foundations of the Earth, plunging it into eternal darkness. The entire world stood still; every creature, human being, and living entity seemingly disappeared, or so it seemed.

Two weeks later, a community emerged from the underground where they had resided for 20 years. It was a whole different world that no one knew of, and they were well-prepared and aware of the impending destruction long before it occurred. Their leader, King Silva, rose above them and spoke, "My dear people, do you now see what I have spoken of for years? The destruction of this world has happened. The time is now to strike and bring forth the chosen one to keep the everlasting flame burning. We all know what is to come—the evil one and his army of demons will terrorize and try to demolish us. But we are the guardians; we will not surrender. We shall fight with our lives to our very last breath. This is why our almighty father has chosen us, as he came to me in a dream all those years ago."

The story unfolds in the year 2050 in the desert of Death Valley, California. A massive community of 49,000 followed King Silva, along with his family. They had waited underground in the shadows for 20 years until the destruction happened. King Silva managed to convince his entire community by showcasing his power and opening their eyes. He started with his older sister, Lorieve, then his parents, aunt, uncle, and grandparents. They proudly stood behind him. In his dream, the Almighty guided him on exactly what to do and revealed the key to stopping the evil one. Lorieve was bestowed with the task and power of keeping the eternal flame burning, becoming the chosen one—the only person capable of wielding it, as she carried this power inside her.

The stage was set for the battle before the eternal flame ignited. A horde of demons emerged, launching an attack on the community. However, for two decades, they had meticulously prepared for this pivotal moment. King Silva's grandfather, Antonio, stood as a highly disciplined fighter who trained the entire community and gathered an arsenal of weapons. Every move was strategically planned by him.

His grandmother, Roxana, possessed the gift of sight and served as a healer. King Silva's parents were skilled fighters who fought alongside him, accompanied by his and sister's trusted bodyguards, Uncle Alexander and Aunt Lapaz.

Lorieve was the chosen one who possessed the power of eternal light within her. If anything were to ever happen to her, her light would go out, and all hope would be lost. Darkness would fall upon us, along with everything else. Everyone had a role. During the long battle, fighting tons of demons, most of the people did not die, but many were injured.

When King Silva and his family thought they were winning, suddenly the evil one made his appearance. One by one, he killed King Silva's grandparents, then his parents, his aunt and uncle, and him. They tried to fight back and protect each other, but nothing worked.

Somehow, Lorieve was separated from the rest of her family. She felt in her heart that something terrible had happened, and when she saw them, she lost her mind. Her anger and rage brought about her power as bright as the sun, directing it towards the one responsible for her family's deaths, making him shatter into a million pieces.

She ran back to her family, dropping to her knees in disbelief. She shut her eyes so tight, shifting time and space; she shut down. Then, out of nowhere, she heard her brother calling out to her. She opened her eyes, and there they all were, in what looked like heaven, back at their home where she grew up. All the people from the community were there. And then she heard the Almighty Father of the Universe speaking unto her, praising her for a job well done. For this, she brought her eternal light into darkness. She was so surprised that she wondered if this was all real or just a dream.

Meanwhile, on a faraway planet deep underneath the earth's crust, in completely below-freezing weather, there were the prisoners. The demons that attacked King Silva and his community were imprisoned, heavily guarded by the Archangels until Judgment day. What also kept them stuck there was the everlasting eternal flame that Lorieve kept burning brightly.
