They've all stayed up in the mountains for so long now. Rachel Amilo and her small group of teenagers and children, with her daughter of course. She sits up there every day, waiting for something interesting to happen. Sometimes she goes hunting, other times she sleeps, but mostly, she sits. Thinking what it would be like if there was another world, full of people like herself. She had been told stories from a long long time ago. Years ago, what you see below you out on the mainland was a magnificent city, buildings carved to utter beauty and perfection, the people were happy. They had connections with the outside world, they had living mammals that they could live off and breed for show. They took milk from cows, wool from sheep and eggs from chickens. When one day, every building exploded. One by one, from midnight to midnight - twenty four hours it took. The remaining families huddled together, not knowing what to do. They tried to survive off what was left on the island - not much. They wouldn't last until fruit started to grow again. Slowly, children and the elders died first, the teenagers and younger adults surviving the longest. They died from starvation a couple of weeks later. There were, though, six adults who remained. They had survived off berries and vegetation they'd found across the island, where the others refused to travel. These six had gone to the mountains, where birds could be found. Small creatures too, where nothing had caught fire. This was the place they could stay. There were several small caves and one large one - the one the six adults occupied. They decided to try and rebuild civilisation. Rachel's mother and father; along with four other adults, were the six that survived. Rachel was the beginning of new civilisation.
