Prologue
The world as it is now isn’t the world that we have known in the past. Throughout the 22nd century AD, there were signs that a great change would befall the world.
Firstly, there were changes in climates around the world. In the beginning, the annual rainfall increased and the overall temperature dropped. Then slowly the seasons were disrupted, winters prolonged and springs grown short. The wind grew in strength and together with the winter, it would felt like a thousand knife pierced into the body if you are not well equipped.
At the same time, catastrophes happened more frequently around the world. Huge earthquakes destroyed homes and caused destruction to cities and towns. Great waves and tsunamis washed off the shores raising the sea level. Old volcanoes, as if given new life, became active and erupted unexpectedly now and then.
Even the very technology that seemed to benefit us in the past betrayed us. Genetic engineering had helped the human kind in the past decades: only the best strain of crops was cloned then grown resulting in the increment of the total global food production over the years. Yet, during those days, the world population suffered from it, as crops can’t adapt to the new harsh condition and perished. None of the crops survived the new climate. Humans reverted to old ways of gathering wild plants that endured and began to grow these as new crops. The world population gradually decreased.
Finally, the Great Change occurred. Earth’s magnetic poles, the North and South poles switched directions. Consequently, continents shifted as the earth came alive. Volcanoes erupted violently; old mountains began to fall apart and new ones formed; peninsulas broke off from the continents becoming island; some existing islands joined together with the lands but some just vanished from the surface; strange lands were resurfaced from the bottom of the ocean. Old maps became obsolete. The impact on civilisations was huge. Homes were destroyed; bridges and towers collapsed. Many grieved for the lost of their loved ones.
However, the great platonic movements due to the inversion of the earth’s magnetic poles not only rearranged the world’s continents but also released the ancient secrets that were buried deep in the centre of the earth. The movements of the continents broke ancient seals and magic formations, and submerged ancient sites were resurfaced and revealed. The very fantasy became a reality: Magic was rediscovered.
