The corrupt leader of the great white floating city of Nolibab stands at a precipice watching his people. He returns inside and suddenly a great blinding white light strikes love and truth into his heart. He is offered a choice. Take a blessing, or give thy blessing to your son, David. Crendil replies "I have no son." "But you will," says the white voice. Crendil, overcome with the power of this majestic being of light declares "The blessing will go to my son!" "These lands and this city face destruction, as is, humanity faces destruction." David is concripted into hard labor by the corrupt leaders of Nolibab, and is forced to work in the propeller systems that keep the city floating high in the air. He is not like the rest of the apathetic people of the city.One day he refuses to do his work and is thrown in jail for 2 years. When he leaves jail he again refuses to do his labor, but this time makes a mad escape from the police of the city. He comes to a window overlooking the wastes.. and jumps through the glass.
