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.”

Final Four Months

Stone walks through the orphanage halls and smiles at the younger children innocently preparing for testing their R and 5th knowledge. He frowns as he notices that some aren't taking it seriously. Siren walks past Stone and grabs one of the boys and girls that aren't studying. They scream happily.

"Why aren't you studying?" Siren asks them with a serious expression. "We don't wanna," the little boy says with a frown. "Why?" Stone asks as he comes closer to them. The little girl frowns, "Why should we try? For who?" "Yourself," Siren says seriously. "Only you have to live with your decisions," Stone says honestly, "your parents aren't here to see what becomes of you but you can imagine that they are. Would they be happy?" They both shake their heads. "Exactly," Siren says kindly, "so to the books with you."

Siren follows Stone out of the kids' room into the tweens' room.
