"The Council of Asterla is at war. It has been this way since before you were born. You have not known your town without the regiments sweeping through, tearing families apart as they collect able men and women for Draft Day, for a war that benefits no one save the greedy members of the Council.

Knowing this, you have all been preparing to resist. After your classes per day, in addition to your mandatory military training, you all work on your own skills at an abandoned barn outside of town. Times to be normal teenagers were scarce but did happen occasionally.

Eventually, the day came. You were all called up to fight. Thus, you ran back to the place you knew, the place you'd prepared. The barn. You were ready to fight, to resist the soldiers you knew would come at your defiance of the draft. However, something you didn't expect happened:

No one came.

There were no unusual sounds or any signs of life. The world was still, as if nothing had changed.

You hadn't expected to survive this long.

You were running out of supplies, only a few days of food remaining. Wildlife had been hunted out of this area long ago by the soldiers in support of the war effort.

You knew you couldn't just go into town, you were taught that people who skipped the draft would be walking corpses.

This is the story of a group unknown teenagers who have not made their mark. How will they be remembered? Will they make a name for themselves or disappear without a sound?"
