One from the hearts that are pure,
One who has rebellion embellished within her soul,
One from the minds that are cunning,
And one shall rise from among them...

For, A Bigger Picture.
A Higher Purpose.
The Greater Good.

When Jala encounters the stranger at the corner of the street, she doesn't realize it is the same guy she sees every night in her dreams.

Sounds romantic, isn't it?

Well, it isn't, because this connection runs deeper than blood and stronger than bones. 

4 individuals from different walks of life united by a dream they all share (literally), and the will to prove themselves where the discovery of self is yet to be accomplished, and battles they must individually face to attain the Greater Good, is a journey we all take in lives, except this one is ensnared within a web of lies. 

Friends will be betrayed, sacrifices will be made, and blood will be shed, but their best companion will prove to be their anonymity.

But how will they really remain nameless, when there is a constant nagging feeling that they are being watched? 

And will it all be worth it in the end?

The Greater Good

I saw the embers flying into the smoke, the burned bits of my childhood home flying into the air before me. The inferno engulfed the walls of my house, its flames licking moving in circles, as it took it into its hungry maw. My knees buckled as I took in the sight before me. I fell to the ground, my knees scraping against the sharp stones of the barren ground. My dress getting ruined was the least of my worries right now. 


My mind was either not able to process what happened, but the growing pain in my chest, hearkens me to the catastrophe that my mind was not willing to accept. 


I remember the tears in father's eyes when I first became the youth wing president. I remember when he held me in his arms and I leaned my head on his warm chest, and I knew there was nowhere safer I could be.
