Prologue

   The evenings light reflected off her glasses as she stared up into the empty night sky. That's right, empty. Earth has changed so drastically lately that even the stars have hidden themselves from us, so that all that we see when we look up is a black empty void. Nothing to light up our night. Only the strongest telescopes can find those rare jewels up in the sky and even then they're just a small glimmer, nothing more.
   Most kids nowadays don't even know we used to have stars, since adults decided it's useless information.  Although nowadays kids have knowledge of different things, nothing of what you know now. They don't know what school is, a library, they're unaware of the term book and instead call them capsules. For books now only store information needed to live and work, nothing more. Many humans have lost human traits and because of this humanity is not the same. If you compare the world of 2013 and the world of 2053 you will see they are nothing alike.
   How's the world so strange you wonder? It's because of a scientist, when is it not, who invented a machine that rid humans of their bad characteristics. It was meant to help the world, to stop wars and encourage peace, but it got out of control. This scientist lost his mind and was manipulated by the world leaders. They saw it fit that everyone would undergo a personality fix. After all people were the ones who started wars. It was the peoples fault, while the government tried to clean up there mess.
   A bunch of bullshit if you ask me, but laws were passed and many underwent the change. Until soon everyone was numb, because that's what the machine did. It removed all negative emotion, programmed proper etiquette into people. Making everyone polite, but cold. Because of this the happy emotions were dulled out and everyone became dull, boring numb. And it seemed to be peaceful, but over time the government noticed the population was dwindling slowly,but surely. People didn't feel lust or love, so they didn't marry or have children. Worried they set up marriages. 60% of the population was given a husband or wife and told it was there duty to have at least one child. And that's what the people did. Just as they were told, like dogs.
   With the crises averted the higher power relaxed. The children born from the changed people had the same personalities as their parents. They were numb, cold. So the personality changing machines slowly gathered dust since they were no longer needed. While the higher power ruled for 20 years they soon found it unnecessary. Since problems were few and far in-between. The world council set solid iron rules for the world that everyone was to fallow, including:
-There shall be no violence. If so the human will be put to death.
-Negative emotions are unnecessary and only hinder you.
-Everyone who is given a husband/wife must have at least one child.
-All weapons are Illegal.        
-Anything from before the year 2022 is forbidden.
These five basic rules dictated the lives of the citizens of Gaia, because that is what they were now. All country borders were abolished and a single languages was decided upon, while all others were discarded. English was chosen as Gaia's language, since it was the most known language at the time and the term Gaia from greek mythology, although this information was lost over time due to the great purge.
   The great purge you ask. It was decided  in the year 2022 that the world was to be reformed. The government decided to change the planet start over from scratch, so they cleaned everything that was found unnecessary. The internet was cleaned everything that you know of now would be gone- youtube, reddit, facebook, twitter, blogger, google. Everything was taken down and new helpful things were put in it's place. This was done quickly and efficiently, the whole process only took about ten years.
   So that's a bare boned outline of what happened to the world- it became numb, grey, cold, lifeless. On the whole planet there were only two people who had there own personalities, there minds. These two creatures, for they could not be called humans, have been on Gaia for over 300 years.
