An unknown catastrophic event rocked the planet known as Rubilaye. Continents shifted and some even broke apart. Powerful earthquakes shook the lands and created long, jagged cracks that often wrapped around and outlined certain areas of land. These areas then separated from the ground and rose into the sky, often leaving large craters where they once were a part of the ground. These areas became known as floating islands for obvious reasons. Some of the smaller islands seemed to be pretty unstable, crumbling away and falling back to the ground when they were small enough. The islands seem to be more stable when they are larger. When they rose from the ground, they took everything that was on them into the sky with them. Cities were made to look like Swiss cheese, so to speak. Forests were uprooted and blown away on the wind. Every person and animal that was on an island before it rose, rose with it. Many got altitude sickness or the bends and passed. Some people survived, mainly teenagers due to their potential for growth and adaptation. Our story follows one such group of teenagers, and how they face the various challenges that await them.
