The second star to the right
Shines with a light that's rare
And if it's Never Land you need
It's light will lead you there
Everyone knows the story of Peter Pan and his Lost Boys.
Peter would steal away to the real world, to London, to whisk away those who feared, or purely did not want to grow up.
He taught them to fly with a little help of fairy dust, and took them away to Never Never Land, where they never grew old.
One such stowaway is known most. Wendy captured the heart of Peter, and in the end, was the reason he left Never Never Land...
It is now many years later; many, many years after Pan left for London.
I'll never grow up, never grow up, never grow up
Not me, not I, not me!
So there!
It's the year 2128. London has changed immensely since the time of Peter Pan's reign, as has the rest of the world. Hovering cars, a population of robotic beings almost as large as the human race, a cure for cancer... Inventions of great proportion have made life easier on everyone. But in the utopia that Earth has become, something has changed for the worse. There is a group that governs the world, controlling every living being. They call themselves the Zarrists. There are a direct set of rules everyone must follow, and those who violate them are punished greatly. Everyone's life paths are chosen: their occupation, who they are paired with in marriage... It is said to make life simpler for each individual, and though the majority think otherwise, no one dares to rise against the Zarrists, for those who even think of rebelling are terminated immediately.
Children are the most watched by the Zarrists. They hope to brainwash them to create the perfect citizens, and this has made them the most unhappy of the human population. This is where the Lost Children of Neverland come in. On very rare occasions when children disobey enough, the Zarrists choose to terminate them completely. The Zarrists sneak the children unexpectedly from their homes late in the night, but the Lost Children make it there before them. They tell the child of what is to come and whisks them away to Never Never Land, where they live in peace. This has become the Lost Children's goal, to save whatever children they can from the Zarrist's clutches.
I have a place where dreams are born,
And time is never planned.
It's not on any chart,
You must find it with your heart.
Never Never Land.
Though London and its surrounding lands have changed immensely with time, Never Never Land has remained pretty untouched. It somewhat resembles a ranching community in the early millennium of the real world, but is still the same land of wonder, imagination, and beauty. Some small portions of the early millennium have been incorporated into the place, like the clothing style and some small bits of technology, such as light electricity generated by turbines at Crocodile Creek and dispatched throughout the Children's Encampment. Nothing out of the ordinary, however; this means no television, iPods, or anything seen in the real world of that nature.
A significant change has been the addition of the Lost Girls. Yes, now both males and females roam the Lost Children's Encampment and the land around it. They live together freely, being children as they are meant to be. Though they spend much of their time playing, they each have a role in the society, and take them on with great responsibility; for example, the boys generally are in charge of raising livestock and hunting, while the girls generally cook for everyone, make smaller trinkets, and sew. Some of the same traditions exist, such as the big feast of Never-food at the end of the day, in which everyone gathers in the center of town and eats together.
There is also not just one leader, like Pan had been; there are two. There is the King of Never Never Land, who generally looks over the Lost Boys, and the Queen of Never Never Land, who watches the Lost Girls. They are not married; they are, in fact, brother and sister, twins. They are amongst the eldest of the children there, both appearing to be around eighteen years of age. In the real world this would not be considered a child's age at all, but in Never Never Land, they are perfectly normal.
In fact, the King and Queen used to be children like the rest of them. As time went on they realized that they, nor the rest of the lot, are truly immortal; they just age very, very slowly. In a matter of a century they grew the equivalent of four years. This shocked many, who did not want to take on certain changes in their bodies, such as puberty. But there is no way to stop it from happening.
You may very well be well bred
Lots of etiquette in your head
But there's always some special case, time or place
To forget etiquette
After Peter Pan left, the pirates sailed out to sea, hoping to find a land unlike Never Never Land. For a long while there was no sight of them, and the Lost Children figured them gone forever.
They returned, however, and under new rule. There was said to have been a mutiny, and Hook and his Mr. Smee were thrown overboard. A new pirate lord took over, a fierce warrior with dark eyes. He swore he would do a far better job than Hook had at taking over Never Never Land. And he tried, having a wondrous plan that seemed like a good plan. But when they returned to the shores the number of Lost Children was more than thought, and their first attack was a complete flop. Now they are anchored out in their old spot, and the pirate lord is plotting his next attack.
