What did I dream last night?!

Some time in our era, scientists and star gazers found a meteor that got caught in Earth's atmosphere. At first, it didn't appear to be much of a threat. It continued to burn brightly as it orbited the planet for many generations. Eventually, it was even looked upon as a gift and a granter of wishes.

The scientists took advantage of this and made several studies as carefully as they could on the giant rock. That's how they made their most startling discovery. The rock's material was not burning away. It was changing in the heat. It was made up of a mysterious compound that slowly was turning radioactive as it generated more and more heat in the atmosphere.

That's when the mathematicians stepped in and delivered the worst news of all. The meteor was going to crash. Using all of their skill possible, they found out that the meteor in orbit around the planet was not really stuck at all but on a downward spiral. It's landing place would come to be known only as District Six.

Word got out to the people of District Six as well as the surrounding areas. Families fled to other locations in a hope to get away from what could be the next world disaster. Prisoners and free men, the rich and the poor, the homeless and the working. They all were moved somewhere outside of District Six until it was nothing more but a ghost town.

Everyone had plenty of time to escape, but all did it prematurely. The meteor was not to crash for several decades. And during that time, the town slowly began to grow new life. A generation of doomed people. The scientists tried to warn them, but their studies fell on deaf ears. The people said that they were wrong in their calculations, basing their logic on an old science.

Then, one night, the sky didn't turn black when the sun set. It turned red. It stayed red well into the night. Curious as to why this was happening, many of the people living in District Six looked to the stars for an answer. They soon found it in a blinding flash of light. District Six was vaporized upon impact.

There were very few survivors of what would be known as The Red Sky Event. Those that lived just outside of the blast zone were left homeless and ill. The environment changed dramatically, forcing both animals and humans back into a nomadic way of life. Eventually, those with more brains than guts rediscovered agriculture through a new science. Small establishments were made where there was some kind of raw material that The Red Sky Event created, be it acid rain or sulfuric snow.

And eventually, war began as well. The people grow greedy. They wanted the power supply of every other establishment that figured out how to be self-sufficient. The nomads that were still living at the time did not want any part of this war. But unfortunately two young boys didn't have a choice.

It was common practice to raid the camps of the nomads by one group of people that found a way to use the unprotected star light at night as a source of energy. They were combatants of the skies, and they were good. Their troops were near infinite in numbers thanks in part to a discovery by a local doctor who found a way to rewrite the memories and motives in the human brain using the unprotected star light. It was only a matter of time before the two brother's camp was raided.

That night, two brothers slept in a tent. But in the morning, only one of them would walk up in the same tent. The other ended up being brain washed for military purposes.

As the war raged on between all those that found a source of power, the planet slowly began to die off. It got to the point where people were no longer fighting for more energy sources. They were fighting to stay alive. That's when they introduced a new weapon of massive and indiscriminate distruction. The Starlight Cannon. Propagated as the next atom bomb, this cannon collected and stored energy for the stars to be fired at anyone or anything with an accuracy of a sniper. It could wipe out entire towns as well as individual people. And it was attached to one of the two brother's left arm. The brother who was captured in the raid of the nomad those many years ago. Before the height of the war. Before he ended up fighting his long lost and forgotten brother.
