It's the year 3019 AD. There is only 4% of land above the sea left on Earth due to global warming. Life is critical and unfortunate for the people living in this time. There are roughly 600,000 people left and 80% live on large ships used as floating islands. Each ship has its own way of life and has one leader who delegates, like how countries were 1000 years ago. But not everyone is completely human. Some evolved since the second flood.
Now there is one large island that used to be known as Japan, now called Sector 9, with much smaller land forms scattered around the rest of the planet. It is the center of their world: a kingdom that struggles to maintain life, peace, reconstruction, and hope to the citizens of the watery planet.
The problem - rumors are spreading of the overthrowing of the kingdom. People are getting impatient with the way of life. They want their Earth back. There is only one thing that can preserve peace and eliminate human extinction; the prophecy of the Staff of Terrain. While the King and Queen scramble to find a plan to get the staff, their daughter, next in line to the throne, sneaks out to try and find it herself, so her family can restore the land and create habitable living conditions for everyone. When her parents catch wind of this, a throng of search soldiers go out to find her.
This is a story of a human princess who takes a journey to save the earthlings from the people of their past. She meets several evolved creatures along the way, who recognize her determination, and the idea to regain peace, and join her. She finds herself in sticky situations and goes through trails, games, puzzles, and hardships to get to her destination. As she gets closer to finding the Staff of Terrain, she finds out that an evil and sinister man wants the staff for himself so he can rule the world. It soon becomes a race against time and foe.

This is a pretty unique concept. How does the staff work? also, i wasn't sure, but is it implied that the princess travels back in time to fix the problems that caused the state of the earth in 3019? Anyway it's an interesting premise. I'd like to see if your story comes into fruition.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the feedback. I am positive that the princess is not going back in time. I am sorry for the incorrect phrasing. Also, I am not quite sure of the acute details of the staff. I need to do some brainstorming for it. I am happy that someone is encouraging me to do something I have wanted to do since my first year in college. Thank you again. :)
DeleteDon't worry you aren't so rusty. I think your premise has a lot of potential. It is interesting how you transition from what seems to be a prototypical dystopian narrative exposing the potential dangers of global warming, to a science fiction fantasy narrative which resembles a Lord of the Rings type war and revolution allegory. You just need to iron out and clarify some of the details so you don't piss off scientists. For example, you might want to consider changing the year in which the novel takes place.Scientists are going to get pissed at you for suggesting that populations of human beings can evolve into new creatures in a little more than 100 years. I really don't know anything about global warming, but I don't think science supports that dramatic an increase in temperatures in 107 years.
