Welcome to Sarik! The model society filled with all the people you could imagine, living in perfect harmony! Nothing ever goes wrong here, it’s the perfect place to live! In other words, it’s the new Utopia.

Peace and harmony spreads as far as the eye can see, everyone has a smile on their face. Joy and contentment fill the air. No one would ever dream of leaving, and everyone is desperate to enter. It’s the perfect society after all.

Or is it?

Life is dangerous when you only trust in what the authorities say. They tell you every thing is okay, they say everyone is happy, they say that no one would ever want to leave, but… something isn’t right. Blind faith will lead you down dark paths.

Secrets are paved in gold, corruption grows in the purest of places. The Utopia, the only livable place left on earth, Sarik. Do you have what it takes to survive in this environment?



After a plague of mutant rats destroyed earth, only one civilization was left standing. The city of Sarik is located on a peninsula, two-thirds of the city boundary perches over steep cliffs that drop suddenly to the raging ocean. The part of the city that connects with the rest of the land mass is blocked with a massive wall of iron and steel. Only one tiny gate allows people in and out, and no one would dare to leave through the oceans. But despite being isolated on this landmass, the people are happy. They are living in paradise. They have all the food they could ever eat, supplied to them from underground farms. They have anything they could possibly want, all the freedoms a person could ever use. And, they have magic.
The same radioactive rain that brought the first of the mutant rats, also brought strange new awakenings to the human societies. These new abilities are highly regulated, one of the only restrictions placed on the people of Sarik. But the people don’t mind. That’s the price they pay for living in such a perfect society. And anyway, not everyone receives the new magic, and it could be highly dangerous. As they are told on the news, it’s better for them to hold off using their magic too much, until the scientists figure out if there are side-effects. They don’t want the humans to become the mutant monsters.
But of course when it comes to perfect societies, there’s always something else going on. Something that could endanger everything as everyone knows it.

"Yes I know quicksand was a little much but it was the quickest way to catch them to get a better look at them " he said as he shifted his body and disappeared into the sand dropping into the ground

Altair

He crossed his arms over his chest, looking down at the sand where the kid had vanished. “If you just wanted to look the birds, all you have to do is ask. They like showing off their feathers. Or… some of them do. HEY SHUT UP!” He yelled suddenly at the birds. They quieted down immediately, and the sparrow swooped down to sit on Altair’s head while the seagull begrudgingly landed back in the sand. “You can still hear me right? Where’d you even go? Into the sand? How does that work? Can you still see?” He reached for his bag that had managed to remain in tact even after Altair’s crash into the sand. The sparrow on his head was unsettled at his movement and fluttered for a moment before settling back down. He found a half of a broken pencil and small notepad. Grains of sand and a couple birdseeds tumbled out with it. “Hey, what’s your name anyhow?” He kept talking despite not even knowing if the kid had left him entirely.

Karim

Reappearing out of thin air like the Cheshire cat "the names Karim and as you can see I control these sands as I please either making huge fortresses or using them as deadly blades" he said as he snapped his fingers and the sand rose and started to heat up and melt into glass. "It's pretty obvious that you can talk to birds and have wings so what is her deal she must be a mutant as well?" He said smirking as he made the glass disappear deep into the sandbar

Altair

He glanced up as the kid — Karim reappeared. He scribbled down some things in his notebook. “ ‘pretty obvious’ “ He muttered back in a mocking voice. The sparrow chittered as though it were laughing, but Altair hadn’t meant it to be funny. He shook his head in annoyance, causing the poor little bird to once again flutter about before squealing out some angry-sounding chirps and settling back on his head. “Oh? The girl? Oh yeah, no, I have no idea. Maybe, considering she isn’t screaming right now about calling the authorities and police and what not. Speaking of, neither of us have anything to gain by saying anything right? We keep it to ourselves? I do have a question about your sand powers though… what’s your limit?” As he spoke he continued writing. “Like… can you build a massive sand staircase? Or like, a super long bridge? Maybe a bit of both? How much can you do? Oh! I bet I could find something to do with that glass too!”

Karim


"As long as I have enough sand I can do anything I want and since my body is made out of sand that limit has no bounds I can do anything I want" he said as he started to swirl the sand around his body as he walked around the castle making small adjustments here and there as needed

Altair

He gasped, shoving his stuff back into the bag. “Great! We can get over the wall then, right? Hold up, I guess I should start by saying… What do you think about trying to escape this place? You know, see what’s actually out there? And really, if you play it just right there isn’t even a risk when we fail.” He watched Karim, following a few paces behind. The seagull followed along as well, seemingly interested in the sand castle.

Karim

"Yes I know there's a way out of here but why should I help you? You've only yelled at me and tried to hurt me since I got here!" He said as he shifted back into sand and disappeared into the wind going over to the girl

As the life-sized sand castle materialized on the beach, Primrose had started backing away, but the shifting sands made her loose her footing and she fell on her rump with a small squeak. These guys were insane to be using their powers out in the open. What if the authorities saw?! In fact if anyone came across them they might think she was with them. Panic bloomed in her chest and she scanned the beach, hoping its deserted expanse would keep their antics hidden. The majestic sand structure, while impressive, was an obvious beacon of their presence. Her attention was momentarily diverted when the boy with the birds started speaking excitedly about escaping this place, and he and sand boy walked out of earshot.
She remained seated in the sand, feeling overwhelmed by the surreal events. She wouldn't have a chance to unpack all that had transpired however, as what seemed to be a cloud of sand blew over to her. "What on earth is happening today?" she exclaimed, lifting her gloved hands to shield her face from the blowing sand.

Altair

He groaned and slapped a hand against his forehead, unsettling the sparrow once again. "You're not just helping me, idiot. We'd escape together. And you're the one who made the sand eat me." He grumbled quieter, realizing the kid had vanished again. He kicked a clump of sand. The sparrow offered some quick chirps of advice, and Altair turned to remember the girl, noticing the sand floating on the air, and the girl was certainly not 'fine' with what she'd seen. He cursed quietly at himself for being an idiot. At least she wasn't screaming about monsters. Altair didn't care much anyway, not right now at least. He was more concerned with the fact the sand kid had said he knew a way out. AND now it seemed he'd made enemies with that kid who might have an easy and quick way to escape.
He figured the sand kid was now doing something near the girl, what with the clouds of sand, and he felt obligated to say something in response to her exclamation.
"Look out for quicksand!" He called as if that might answer her question. The sparrow once again started chattering loudly in his ear, so he turned his attention away from the others, to listen intently to the nonsense of the little bird. He'd lost sight of the seagull somewhere around the sand castle, as far as he cared it had flown away to find food.

Karim

"Hello little girl how are you feeling? its mighty hot out here why arent you staying in the shade where you wont get burnt?" he said as he shifted back to his human form like the Cheshire cat. Karim was a very funny and crazy prankster but he will gladly protect his friends when he is being serious. With a flick of his finger off of the sand castles including the huge life-sized one dissolved into the beach just making a huge mound of sand where it used to stand

Primrose blinked owlishly up at the boy when he materialized out of the blowing sand and grinned down at her, however when he spoke, her expression became an indignant frown. "Little girl?! First of all, we look like were around the same age," she huffed, starting to get to her feet and standing at her full height, which ---at only five foot two---wasn't much. "And secondly, you must be two crayons short of a full box to be out here flaunting your powers all willy-nilly like this!" she blurted, and then bit her lip, "Wait sorry, that was kinda rude, what I mean is, it's not a good idea to...um, to use you're powers in the open, you could get in big trouble," she said, cheeks pink from embarrassment at essentially calling him crazy to his face. She then peeked around the sand boys shoulder at the bird guy, who had yelled something about quicksand earlier, she wasn't sure what though, she'd been to busy trying to keep sand out of her eyes and mouth to really hear.

Altair

He fully jumped into the air with a yelp when the castle collapsed right near him. Then he fully panicked not seeing the little sparrow who had just been right next to him. Thankfully, the bird chirped loudly, safe and sound next to his ear. The seagull called out a response too, flying off some feet away. Altair let out a breath of relief and turned back to the other people on the beach, watching them and thinking.
Ugh, he didn’t like that kid’s sand power. It was rather terrifying. The quicksand, the floating sand, the invisible boy… Altair didn’t like any of it. Hopefully he hadn’t made that kid an enemy, and he’d just have to get over it and try to convince him to escape with him. Maybe that girl could come too, then he wouldn’t have to deal with that sand kid by himself. If she was an ally at least.
He stood there silently, watching from a distance, holding a rather rumpled sheet of paper and a pencil. He seemed to be drawing… something? But the lines were crooked and jagged, tearing holes into the paper as he had no hard surface to use. The sparrow chattered lively continuously, as it was known to do. It had firmly perched on his shoulder, peering down at the paper. It seemed rather excited about something.
Altair kept his eyes on the two. He wasn’t sure if he wanted to talk with them or just leave. Leaving meant safety from the sand, but talking meant possibly gaining others who could help him. Or at least act as distractions…
