30,578 dead. 789 injured. 321 missing. All effects of the war that destroyed the world as we all knew it. People wanted freedom, they received death. Death to the fighters and innocent. Death to the world thought to be beautiful. All of it, gone. Years and years of building a civilization, gone. And irreplaceable.

After years of being lost, people stood up and tried to take order, and people were so scared that they listened. To this day, people listen to those authorities and their offspring and follow all rules as they should. But these people called leaders weren't as good as you'd think.

They ruled with strict orders, wanting to keep peace and never start a great war ever again. But some of these people wanted what their elders did, freedom. These new leaders wanted everything strict and precise. No freedom to choose what you did. They let you marry, love, and work how you wanted. But all people were forced to live with strict working and school schedules that some didn't like. Most of all, people didn't like how they treated the poor. They would beat them for fun and entertainment.

Eventually, the survivors ended up split into three groups of people. The strong, the evil, and the neutral. These groups were known as the Resistance, the Rulers, and the Neutrals. The Resistance was the smallest of the groups, the outcasts, only the people who wanted a change in the evil society. They fought hard for freedom, but only so far have been satisfied with small acts of rebellion such as stealing. These rulers didn't like the Resistance, and they tired to kill all members of it entirely. But the Resistance were mainly secret members, undercover people disguised as everyday students or workers.

Neutrals were people who accepted the way society worked, they wanted peace and were fine with having strict rules, or so they thought. They were the real everyday students and workers. They went to school and had educations like they were supposed to, they would graduate and get the job the society assigned them. They would fall in love with whoever they chose, but it seemed to be unspoken, that that meant other Neutrals. Or in rare cases, Rulers. But they would never be in love with members of the Resistance. Not in a million years. It was against their nature.

So you see, these Neutrals didn't like the Resistance. They were sworn enemies, because the Neutrals accepted the way the world was ruled and the Resistance didn't. The Neutrals despised the Resistance and their foolish ways. But don't get it wrong, the Resistance thought the Neutrals were weak rule-followers. So, they don't usually agree on things, just keep that in mind.

Another important thing was that most of the resisting people were men. There were some girls now and then, but it wasn't exactly normal. Girls usually were viewed as people who always followed the rules, and so they did.

Now, that was just the background, not the story. This story is about a boy and a girl. A boy who loved change and a girl who loved peace. This story is about their friends, trying to convince them that they are on different sides for a reason. This story is about power, bravery, resistance, tragedy, but most of all, love. This is the story about the tragic love story, that ended up bringing the world to its knees.
