You are Luce, beings of light, living in palaces of crystal deep within Scuta, or as the humans call it, Earth. Your kind are benevolant by nature, always wanting to share your utopic realm and way of living, but unable to do so without risking harm on the fragile peoples that live scattered around the globe, whose eyes can’t withstand your radiance, and whose flesh blisters and burns from the heat of your hearts.
Life on Scuta’s core has always been serendipitous, but something new appears that for the first time, might not be so. A child, retrieved from a metal canister that appeared at the door of the Regent’s palace one day. Not any child, no, a little girl made of darkness. Something never seen before. She feeds off light, her mere presence sapping the glow from the skin of any Luce that happen be near.
The Lady Regent has put together a team of volunteers to care for the child. You are one of them, and just a couple weeks in you begin to notice how being around the child not only depletes your essence, but also corrupts your nature, making you feel things you’d never felt before. Frustration, jealousy, fear.
On top of that, the Lady Regent recently informed you and your peers that she received a concerning message from the surface: The child belongs to the humans, and they want their weapon back.
