iv. parhelion

A distopian future, far from now. Wars polarized the world, and a huge natural dissaster helped destroying the humanity. Countries are mostly united now, forcefully or willingly, but mostly, forcefully. There is no nation that could scape the misery and suffering caused by themselves all these years, decades, and centuries. Human technology could be far more advanced now, but it never had the chance; however, american scientists managed to do things that only in fantasy seemed possible, they modified the DNA of multiple people that offered themselves for test, all of them, military men and women.

The results, stunning. New abilities, no, power had been created for humans; war was something they didn't fear anymore, or at least this nation could be confident of that. Different types had been created, the four elements, and a few others, such as telekinesis, strenght and more; but one became hated and feared, magic, it was't really magic, but it was the given name; since this ability, of all them, was the only one that could imitate all of the others. The goverment grew fearful of those with this power within years, until it was declared illigal to have them and a genocide occured. It's fair to mention, that the people started borning with the new abilities, since it was induced through the water system; certain genes that could be passed for the next generation. Not that the ne that digested it would adquire the powers, but the next one they gave birth to. 

Like that years passed, and almost all the globe was filled with what no longer it could have been called special people once, but normal enhanced human beings. However, the power in the world, was more than ever imposible to adquire for those that were down the chain, and prophecies were born, how there would be strong enough powered humans that would take control of these dictators and end these wars, famines and death.
