Premise
"I once had a reason to fight for. She now lies at the bottom of this lake."
The lake bears no name. A decaying stone head stands on the lakeside, the words rendered illegible by years of weathering.
"Here lie-"
No one knows the name of she who rests in peace on the lake bed, but it is believed that if you pray at the stone memorial, your wishes will be fulfilled.
The lake separates two towns, both of which are halves of a once-united city. The city, born with the hope of giving peaceful lives to its citizens, crumbled under its own weight - differing goals of the second-generation leaders, greed for power and corruption eventually tore it apart into two towns, breaking up families, destroying friendships and shattering the pure intents of the city's founder.
The leaders of the towns remain at loggerheads with each other. Though residents currently enjoy an odd sort of peace, they worry that conflict will break out between the two towns again, causing much bloodspill and loss of lives.
Day after day, they go to the stone head by the lake to pray for peace and unity, but no miracle would appear.
Yet, some have noticed a peculiar trend. The towns are receiving more and more new arrivals - most of whom have expressed disbelief and shock at their destination. It is almost as though they have not chosen to come here at all. The townspeople are becoming increasingly baffled and exasperated with these newcomers who do not even know the basic technologies, much less have the abilities to survive in these foreign surroundings.
In the depths of the lake, she lies. The prayers, she has heard.
They will not go unanswered.
