On the Wrong Side

The rest of your evening is as uneventful as the remainder of your days are. You spend your time indulging in the simple pleasures of life – the finest foods, leisurely pastimes, and of course revelling in your god given gift as you soar through the clouds. 

However, beneath the superficial existence in a seemingly utopian Zephyria, a dark and twisted secret bubbles beneath the surface. The ground city of Underdark has paid the ultimate price in order for you and other Zephyrian to enjoy the lives you do. Your wings tell a history rooted in the pain and suffering of those below who have been institutionally oppressed and experimented on for the benefit of a select few who live in the clouds. The monsters you fly above each day were mutilated and tested by scientists who once believed they were saving the human race. These monsters were once people just like you who were not deemed worthy enough to be saved by a crooked system that considered them dispensable. 

Days, weeks, months, and years pass but eventually with the help and knowledge of ex-Chief Scientist Mary S., the citizens of the Underdark, that far outnumber your people, revolt. This revolutionary leader/scientist was the same person you had once seen in the restaurant years ago. The city in the clouds and you with it fall hard. You stood on the wrong side of history, and that is the reason for your subsequent demise. Maybe things would have worked out differently if you had done something all those years ago… Try again.
