The Duel

A century later a group of survivors rose from the ashes of this chaos and with peace in mind set out to create a better world.

To prevent the collapse of their perfect world the leaders of New Phoenix instituted a law to control the population while at the same time ensuring their gene pool was filled with the only the best and brightest.
