The Connections

In the beginning humanity and energy lived as one. Humanity harvested pure matter from the environment to feed this energy and in return this energy gave the host an unique ability to help it survive, this symbiosis was called "The Connection", but there is one weakness to the connection.
The lack of Original Creativity. As humanity grew more prosperous and advanced in culture, so did the Connection. Life on Toreoth was ideal, until the social hierarchy collapsed. This collapse was caused by humanity, which had expended all of its original creativity. With this loss humanity lost the Connection as well. Hope has seeded itself in the minds of humanity again, every decade 20 lucky souls have an original idea or thought which establishes The Connection within them giving them an ability similar to the idea of a super power.
The 50th cycle of 20 souls has been interrupted by a kid named Zach and he has no idea that he is the last Connection that is tied to humanity's survival.
