Betrayal

[close] Surrounded with thick forests and a towering, dark brick wall, exists the city of Ryden. A grand castle sits in the very center, where the Royals live. It's a closed city, no one goes in and no one goes out. Why would you want to? Ryden, a city full of love, lust, betrayal, deceit, frienship, heartbreak and drama. A city of Royals. But every ten years, ten civilians are chosen to go to Ryden. Five boys and five girls up to the age of twenty one. They could be chosen to be anything, servants, maids, husbands, mistresses. But one thing's for sure, they want to be Royals.

[close] The world once known as Earth is no more. No, not since a clinical man, Barren Kade, allowed his evil hands to wrap around it 5 years ago. He managed to form an army underneath the noses of even the most powerful people in the world. With that army, he brought destruction to the world, killing many, destroying everything, and taking who he spared the lives of as prisoner.  Barren was twisted in his ways of shaping the world, making everything bleak and engulfed in hatred. Those that survived and lived outside of his grip had to be alert each moment of their lives, trust no one, and do whatever it took to survive...whatever it took.  Even with the world wrapped around his figure and everyone at his command, Barren grew bored and wanted even more. He wanted to be entertained. He had an idea, a sick demented one. He ordered his men to capture some of those that were still dwelling uncaptured in his world.  He posted cameras all over a deserted island. Barren had all of those he wished to have as his entertainers knocked out and set on this island, with only a note telling them each something different and what they must do to survive. If they did not follow the instructions a little mechanical contanier in their body he had put in would be activated and their bodies flooded with poison, killing them painfully within minutes.  Barren broadcasted the island's feedback to his world beyond the island, and let everyone watch as each of the captured island people had to fight, kill, betray, etc. just to survive.  Will you survive?
