2018
It was a time when the lands were barren.
Desolate.
Abandoned.
The plants had died, the grass had faded... and the sand had risen high.
It was the time when there were very few humans.
A family of three.
The continents and countries had faded away... all except for New Zealand.
Everything was gone...
Except for the culture... that had remained and would remain. The Maori ways of life.
Then all time shifted to a halt, as a young leader entered the house...
"Paka, I'm back!"
