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.”

The Lotus Flower

Squirrels and pups are making noise as they walk towards the train. The train that is very late. Time passes and the first train of the day arrives.

Falcon and Legacy arrive late. They notice that the train is already waiting for them instead of arriving. They look at each other with confusion and shrug their shoulders. They get on the train, arrive at the buses and make it to school without any reason for worrying.

Soon, classes begin and lunch comes around.

Siren, Navy and Nicolette come and sit with the group. Quade and Galaxy arrive.

"Wow," Icterine says in shock, "you guys look exhausted." "We are," Quade says seriously, "and it wasn't the babies." "It was a bigger baby," Galaxy says as she rolls her eyes, "his father." Everyone bursts out with laughter.
