The Truth on Birthstones Tue Jun 11, 2013 3:45:07 PM#282153Perm Link
Birthstones became something much more.
They contain the power to give the holder abilities.
And because of this. . . the government destroyed all birthstones.
Except for 12. One of each, that is.
There were those within this world who believed the birthstones should be copied. And handed out like prizes to those who are worthy enough.
And then there are others who believed even the last remaining should be destroyed before they fall into the wrong hands.
To protect these stones from both parties, they had been given to 12 people for safe keeping.
These people were not to use the stones’ powers.
These people were to keep them hidden. Forever untouched.
Well, that was before.
Before. . . The Rise.
The Rise was a dark time on Earth. Creatures from below and above reigned terror upon the surface. They killed. And they destroyed cities. They were in search of the last stones.
Those chosen to protect the stones. . . used them. And they fought off The Rise. For nearly a year, the 12 humans battled thousands upon thousands of out-of-this-world beasts.
And they saved Earth.
But, after this, both the stones and the wielders went missing.
And it’s now the present. 18 years ahead. Society has returned to normal. And there is no such thing as a birthstone. For those who have been recently born within the 18 years, they’ve never even heard of a birthstone.
But what happens when several teens and two adults go off for a school field trip. For the bus to tumble down a mountain along the way.
And the 12 survivors (10 teens and 2 adults) make a life changing discovery.
. . .The Birthstones. . . hidden deep within a cavern. . .
But this wasn't some mere coincidence. These 12 were specifically chosen. This was fate. Destiny.
