Synopsis

Chapter 1 - Destruction

It's hard to believe but in December it was a systematic destruction of the Taiyl Sect. One by one they were all destroyed. Hundreds of people murdered. No one knew why it was done or who did it. The murderers came in the night and wiped out everyone. From the younglings to the elders. Very few survived, it was an almost total purge.

Our small sect was attacked on Christmas Eve. That night we were planning the journey to the nearby village the next day when I heard the screaming start. We raced outside. Fighting was going on everywhere. Our people were not trained for this. Hell even our warriors were not able to stop the attackers. Near the end I grabbed as many people as I could. managed to get four others out with me.

I was able to grab Zhangsun Shan and his wife Qiu Si. They had only been married a few years when they decided to come here to get help for Qiu Si horrible depression. Here she was learning to deal with it and finding ways to lessen the burden. Then there is Wenren, he is still a young boy, but he is one of our best healers. And if we are to help anyone when this is over I need to get him out. Finally I was able to grab Sui Wenyen. She has had a hard life. She lived on the streets most of her life untill she was adopted by an acting troupe. She gave all that up to help others in a more hands on way.

And my name is Summer, I gave up a life of high fashion in order to help the less fortunate. I was told when I was younger that I could be a healer if I trained my skills. But I didn't listen and I lost my parents. After that I vowed to learn everything I could in order to make them proud.

I have been here for fifteen years. Long enough to be called an elder but not long enough to learn everything I need to.

After I got everyone out we made our way to the tree line on the north side of the building. From there we ran as fast as we could. When all the sudden there was a blinding light. We ran into before anyone could stop themselves. After that I don't remember anything, besides waking up on a beach.
