‡Based on the books by Kenneth Oppel‡
Imagine a world where you are imprisoned in a cage of darkness...
For something your ancestors did a million years ago.
Imagine not being able to live in the sun...
And facing the punishment of death if you get a glimpse of it.
Imagine an entire species being locked away from the sun for thousands of years.
See the sorrow.
Hear the cries.
Smell the fear.
Taste the bitter emotions.
....
Welcome to the world of the bats.
...
Over Sixty-Five million years ago, there was a great battle between the birds and the beasts. The bats, being nuetral, withheld from fighting and watched the two sides fight. When the war was resolved, the two factions punished the bats for not fighting in the battle. Their punishment was not being able to live in the sun.
The bats have suffered through their bitter punishment for millions of years, gaining the skill of echo vision and adapting to the dark night. The sun is a foreign object to them, and it means death for the bats. Only a few have dared to try to fly, let alone look, at the sun. The rest of the bats have gotten used to living in the night, and order themselves to go through this punishment everyday.
Until now.
Fifteen years before the first adventures of Shade and Marina, the bats rebelled. They no longer wanted to be banished, they wanted the sun back. They wanted to feel it's radiant warmth once again. So they rebelled against the ones who were holding them in their night prison: the owls.
Bloody battles, secretive missions, and rising conflicts ensued this rebellion. And this is where we are now, in the heart of this war.
What will you do to see the sun?
