Zarlum stories - episode 001 - The fall of Zarlum

So here we are, this is it the beginning of my book series about a beautiful planet called Zarlum and all the amazing people on it. However, this is not the beginning of the story, it's more like a placeholder for what is to come along the line. This is the story of a small family of survivors at the very end of days, some of them don't know any other life than survival, others don't care if they survive or not because they know it won't make a different in their mind it always ends the same way. One of the survivors was called Powder, and she was the smartest member of the family, in fact she was actually the smartest woman on the planet, although there's not much to go on, she had survived on her own for a long time before she found the other members. The next was called Raven, she helped with survival and was company for Powder for the many years she had been alone. The last was called Magpie who had a very special ability some want to acquire however she saw it as a never ending curse. None of the family were actually related to each other however the only thing they had were each other, so they were going to stick together no matter what happened. The family lived in a small cabin in the middle of the woods going to broken cities and hunting for food had been communicating with the other half of the family who were on the other side of the world and had a key to their continued survival, their names were Coraline and Ivy they were Ravens sisters. They were waiting for them at the only way they were going to be able to survive any longer. Powder, Raven and Magpie needed to make a journey to Ivy and Claudia, so they could all go to China for a very important asset to their survival, however they weren't sure if they would even be able to survive the journey through the unknown surface of Zarlum.
