Prologue
What if we live in a galaxy that the deities exist?
What if we live in a galaxy where myths were real?
What if we live in a galaxy knowing that the folklores were true?
What if we live in a galaxy in that the fairy tales were real?
What if we live in a galaxy where history and myth intersect?
What do you believe?.....
The 24
th
Century (Prelude)
We stand at the fringes of a great glowing ball of red light. Beyond this almost blinding light is that of the darkness of space. While it is nothing impressive, the red dwarf stars are the most common stars in existence that thrive in the vast emptiness of nothingness. They will be here far longer than any of the other stars that will eventually burn themselves out in advance. Tiny flares can be seen bouncing across its surface in an unending torrent of plasma rain.
Long, long ago, Earth, in its prime, had managed to help serve as the cradle of life. Through there, other life had evolved and gained enough intelligence to eventually vacate into the cosmos. It was the destiny of those lifeforms to find new homes. Earth was considered a place of beauty and remarkability. Many forms of life had existed and either adapted to their environment or faced extinction. It could even be argued that societies had concluded that it was impossible to maintain civilization on Earth indefinitely. Of course, such necessities weren't necessarily out of the actions of the outside environment but the actions of the people themselves.
Earth was once a place of profound beauty. Some religions and beliefs had pointed to the aspect of the Garden of Eden. This wasn't just the possibility for life to initially develop but served as a place of paradise. The Garden of God, of course, is only one of many different possibilities in a myriad of beliefs and ideals. Even if Eden did or didn't exist, the very aspect remained. Earth was not as it is now. It was a place where great forests, grasslands, and life-filled oceans coincided together. Now, it remains as a barren death wasteland as the orange muck suffocates all life from further developing. Today, Earth is little more than the "Planet of lost cause." Very few live on it, and those that do, go to profound lengths to ensure that they survive against the toxic effects of the environment.
Instead, humanity has been given a distinct miracle. The hope of folding space has served as the mortal hope for survival. New worlds were found, and new colonies were established in several solar systems. The Age of Gabatrix has arrived. While Earth remains a fickle aspect of its past self, humans have found new places to call home. Cebravis is, by many, the new Garden of Eden. Few religious aspects had even claimed that god or the gods had given the planet to them so that the same mistakes of Earth were never to be repeated. While science, agnosticism, and atheism have pushed out many of these beliefs, the past religions of ancient Earth still survive to some lengths. Even as far as the 24
th
century, there is the equivalent of "modern Christians, Muslims, Hindus, and so forth." There were so many different cultural and significant stories that had been passed on and changed that it was almost impossible to document all of them. However, technology is on humanity's side. It was also possible that Cebravis was a new beginning for the human race. It was a second chance to ensure the past wrongdoings were never repeated.
The fact was that humanity was never alone when it came to intelligent life evolving on Earth. Ancient stories, fables, and other beliefs had indicated the concept that there were other types of "humanoid" creatures. Some would call them monsters. Others would call them heroes. But, in the end, very few truly knew of their existence.
Why was that the case? If there were other forms of life, why didn't they make their presence more well-known? It wasn't to say their existence was wholly muted, but with the lack of evidence and historical loss, these....."mythics" would be lost in the day-to-day life of human existence. While there were whispers, very few believed that anything else other than human beings evolved on Earth. If it doesn't appear in front of us, then it shouldn't exist, correct?
There is an interesting idea that the reason why humanity knew so little about the "mythics," was due to the fact that there were so few of them. Almost a thousand years ago, it was believed that something would lay waste to many of the so-called "gods, mythical creatures, or mythical characters" that ever existed. Even before then, many of these famed mythics had entered treaties and basic compromises with one another. Taking up human form, they would ensure that the mortal humans would never know of their existence. By then, famed religious wars and crusades had dominated the newer growing religions. The mythics knew that they were to blame and that any further involvement would only bring further bloodshed and violence to the human race. The "Coalition of Deities" was the outgrowth of this secret society. Magic would only be used if it was necessary and never to be seen in front of human beings.
The Coalition worked despite the countless attempts to undermine it. It did its part in establishing that the existence of creatures other than humans was little more than a fairy tale. The Coalition numbers would grow in strength as the human population exploded. The mortals that did know about them promised to keep their existence a secret as they became husbands, dear friends, or wives. Many were given lavish places to live and enjoyed being with the mythics as lovers and companions for as long as they lived. Others enjoyed the life of becoming parents as the magical abilities either diminished or spontaneously arrived in the offspring. Even then, the numbers of the Coalition were never on par with the billions of humans in return.
However, while the mythics had done their part to remain quiet, a few did get involved in helping "push" humanity in the right direction. The fact was that Earth's environment was on the decline. The mythics could not get involved with human destiny because "they choose" to make their world into a hellish landscape. If the mortals wish to destroy themselves, then that's their choice, and they have the right to believe in such an action. The mythics were immortal, after all, and even a hellish landscape was something that never truly bothered them. The mortals could render themselves extinct, and the mythics would have Earth to themselves.
