Synopsis
In the year 2012, many people thought the world would end… in a way it did, at least our understanding of it. On January 1st, people all over the world started their day listening to a news story on a new supernatural phenomenon and while it took the world by storm, would only escalate and remain unsolved for years to come. The so called “Fade” phenomenon was quite simple to analyze yet impossible to explain, and it gets its name by the sporadic disappearance of thousands of children and teens overnight.
The first theories revolved around a massive human trafficking ring, due to the age of those who disappeared. These theories quickly dissolved due to the lack of evidence and continued disappearance of children no younger than 10 and adults no older than 20. On the first day of every new years, more would disappear. In 2012 it was estimated to be about 5,000, the next year was 10,000 and was continually doubled as the world fell into panic and fear, fear that it would be there children taken next.
It wouldn't be until 2015 when 40,000 people “faded” that the world would receive its first answers, as unbelievable as it was. About 3,400 of the first generation “faded” would return. They told stories of other worlds, different worlds then there own, some told stories of worlds like earth where technology was well developed and yet strange. Some experienced a far different life were instead of technology, it was magic that reigned supreme. Many were interrogated by their government, others were interviewed on Tv and shared their story were many noticed inconsistencies, most notably the time spent in there new world. Some had spent almost six years, while some spent only one or two. But there was only one thing they all had in common: all there worlds were at war.
