Kashmir - Land of the Ice and Snow

Rolling hills, mountains and valleys, lined fresh with green grass and white snow. When the sun beats down upon the mountainsides, the lush valleys glow with a unique radiance. Breezes and cool winds from the mountaintops breathe life and add a refreshing presence to the region. Some records say that this region, closely surrounded by several mountain ranges, is the epitome of paradise on Earth, for its fields of blossoming flowers, clear rivers and natural landscapes hold an ascended level of beauty. Standing in the midst of such a place would impart one with a lasting, pleasant impression of bliss, calmness and peace.
This region, this beautiful area with some of Earth’s finest qualities, is known as Kashmir.
The tranquillity wasn’t going to last. For more than half a century in human years, the region has been in constant conflict. A conflict for control. A conflict over beliefs. A conflict for power and dominance, between two nations, two kinds of people, and two kinds of ideologies. Disagreements that spiralled into arguments. Arguments that devolved into wars. Much blood has been split in this region over where lines need to be drawn. Bullets have been scattered all across, outlining pictures of morbidity. Standing in the midst of such a place would impart one with a traumatic impression of terror, grief and pain.
This region, this ravaged area with some of Earth’s worst conflicts, is known as Kashmir.
Amidst the conflicts in the valleys is a small village, mysterious, unmapped and reclusive. Caught between the disputed borders, the inhabitants of the village seem to have come across an unknown substance - blue, crystalline and potent. It is only a matter of time before the Energon is discovered by others outside of the village...
