Survival of the Fittest

The Republic of Herculean Misava lives by the saying, “Survival of the Fittest.” The island is isolated from civilization and lives by laws and values that would cause a riot in our modern-day world. Everyone has only ever known a certain way of living and everyone lives by it without question. Galaxy, Stone, Major, Icterine, Falcon and 6, try to navigate this harsh world as they try to understand why it is the way it is. “ Secrets fill every society in the world. Our world is no different. The Misava people live on an island far away from civilization. Our leaders believe it is safer so we can protect the world we've created and so no one can change the values we have. Our world is different from yours in many ways. We live by our genetic material and what it tells us. Our society believes everything is written in there and it reveals information that is vital to our status. The process of determining this is hidden in the few geneticists available in our world, and they are a rarity that holds this secret. Another important factor is the number 12. The number 12 is used and evident in every society. There are a few rules but nothing too protecting from harm since the motto of the state is, "Survival of the Fittest." The Misava people live by these laws and hold them dearly. Welcome! The jobs of the republic give you your rank as follows: (1 is the lowest and twelve is the highest) 1) Dancer 2) Cleaner 3) Waiter 4) Teacher 5) Police Officer 6) Athlete 7) Doctor 8) Singer 9) Writer 10) Veterinarian 11) Astronaut 12) Leader 12 jobs. In the 84th 12th year, 1008 years to be exact have passed since the Misava people have existed. It is the twelfth month, December, the last day of the month which will bring us to the 84th 12th year, 1009 years since the Republic of Herculean Misava was created. The country has 12 days in a week and they are called by the numbers representing them.”

Sleepless Nights

Quade moves towards the cribs. He picks up Nerine and Peony as they are fussing about. Galaxy is sleeping soundly. Valerian, also, sleeps through the night.

Mazarine walks into the room at the exact moment that Quade is putting them into his arms. She walks forward and takes Peony into her arms.

"You know we have to wake her up," Mazarine says sweetly. Quade nods, "We will. It is still early and we still have to wake up Valerian." "Let her sleep," Mazarine says kindly, "she will wake up soon." Quade nods and gets dressed.

Soon, the babies are lying quietly in bed while Galaxy dresses herself. Quade goes down to breakfast with the family while Galaxy starts feeding the babies.

After breakfast, Mazarine and Quade enter the room. Peony and Nerine are in Galaxy's arms. They are crying loudly while Valerian is sleeping soundly.

Mazarine grabs Nerine and Quade takes Peony. Galaxy groans tiredly and goes to pick up Valerian.
