Beyond The Gods

For as long as mortals have existed, there have been gods above them. They created worlds. Shaped civilizations. Watched kingdoms rise and fall. To most, they are distant beings. Figures of worship, fear, and legend. But the gods have never been as distant as humanity believes.  Long ago, something shattered the order between gods and mortals. Some gods turned against their own kind. Others sought greater control over the lives beneath them. Wars were fought, truths were buried, and humanity continued forward without ever knowing just how much of its history had been shaped by beings watching from above. Now, on the planet Pernitis, humanity has built a world of its own. Technology has reached heights once thought impossible. Awakened individuals possess abilities capable of changing entire nations, while the D.O.P. the most powerful military and political force on the planet. Maintains order over an increasingly dangerous world. Far away from much of that world lives Arisa Sakarame. Raised among her people and largely removed from the sprawling cities beyond them, Arisa never cared about gods, governments, prophecies, or the powers struggling for control of Pernitis. She had a home, a family. Everything life could give. Until it was taken from her… In a single night, the world Arisa knew was torn apart. And it awakened something deep within her. In a universe where gods have spent countless ages deciding the fate of mortals, one young woman’s journey may eventually force both sides to confront a question. What happens when humanity no longer needs its gods?
