Small Spark

Small Spark (formerly named Unnamed.doc in its early drafts) is a planned story in one of the Spiritverse 's many timelines. Originally having its concept in 2019, it has been brought back into development by Al since the Spiritverse's revival in August 2022, and is currently being planned alongside its prequel World's Delight and the only few Paletteverse stories.

About / Plot Synopsis
It's the year 2042, and the Earth is in a weird state of dystopia. Most nations are governed by so-called "Elemental Guardians," and with each nation's land overtaken by one element or three of the basic five. The current higher rulers of the Earth, assigned to watch over the planet in Gaia's absence, are Kosmos and Kadiliman. They were once two lowly immortals, but has since been blessed by the Principal of Aether to rise up to the top.

The first perspective of this new future is from a young twelve-year old named Ube. The young child resides in a camp with several other children of his age, all of which are of an unknown humanoid species. Everyone is fine and contempt, but suddenly half of the cast decides to explore what is beyond the humble camp. They do so, learn new things about the world, and end up knowing more than they should.

Ube and his camp, as he himself would come to know, were supposed to be an experimental new evolution of humanity, where they would depend and sustain themselves on elemental magic alone. Ube is pretty much considered to be a higher class than his peers, considering Kadiliman's DNA was used to create him. He's not the only one who has a familial relation to the current higher ruling duo, as another young kid by the name of Espen is actually the younger sibling of Kosmos, and was close with them just before they ascended.

The second perspective of this story is from Espen's own. He is described to have been an eager explorer, but according to him, the current state of the outside killed that eagerness, now afraid of the outside and only goes out momentarily to do important errands. Currently residing in a small home with a few friends who are immortal teenagers like him, they all decided to go out and get some fresh air, and see how the world has been for the past fifteen years, much to Espen's dismay. As they explore, they realize a lot has changed, obviously, but find hope that everything will be better than what is now presented to them.

Espen and his crew were once called The House of Speakers, a group of world peace activists who all come together to discuss how to bring peace to humanity despite all their differences, but the new order of elemental divide has since demotivated them from their goal.

Or so such thing is as it seems on the surface.

And thus the fate of the world is decided once more, this time with these two individuals.

Trivia

 * All of Plot A's cast were originally from a concept story where humanity was long gone, leading to a weird humanoid species to reside in their place. The timeline setting was indefinite until now.
 * A lot of characters from said concept were removed, due to them being either extraneous, had poorly aged concepts, or simply did not fit with the current concept anymore. Some characters names were also changed, mainly to fit with the current setting.
 * All of Plot B's cast, mainly with Espen, were originally joke characters, but has since been given serious stories and personalities to go with them.
