character universe story

[naturalharmony.]

{ this is a story about my OC universe, just sorta explaining how it ended up how it is and and how my characters got there I guess.

it's obviously a wip but feel free to comment and critique 'cause the whole story will probably be in the first post ... enjoy }

There is a universe far, far away from here; so far our minds cannot handle the distance. In this universe, there is a huge planet, much larger than the planets we know of in our solar system. We call it Avius Viator. It is very old, its age unknown. The atmosphere of the planet is made of thousands of different gases, some we recognise but most undiscovered. These gases have built up into a thick, swirling, shimmering mass of deep blue, turquoise and purple. It’s said to be one of the most beautiful planets ever seen.

Avius Viator is populated with strange creatures; unlike our rather thick minds create. No strange, human-like figures with large heads and huge black eyes. These are animals. Like the dogs and cats we used to own or the ones we hunted to extinction.

Humans, like you and I, used to inhabit the planet. These humans were still using basic tools however and building small houses out of their surroundings. They hadn’t yet destroyed their environment like us and the animals still thrived. They were weak, simple-minded creatures.

One day, the animals found themselves alone on their planet. The humans had disappeared without a trace. Some had been hunting or hunted by the humans at that moment and had seen a strange pale glow and humming where the humans had been, then nothing. Just went; like that.

With the main predator gone, the animals reproduced quickly and the food chain changed drastically as the prey evolved into the hunter and the previous predators became the hunted. It was a strange, surprising progression for them but soon nearly all memories or stories of the time when humans existed had been erased.

As the animals became smarter, though each species were as different as water and fire, they developed a common language. All creatures living on Avius Viator could now converse with other species, negotiate and perhaps fall in love. The dominants of each species created a treaty to never cause unnecessary violence and death. Meaning, the predators could hunt their prey but only to fill their stomachs and nothing more.

It seemed fair and all leaders agreed. Many thought it was the start of a more civilized era and that one day there would be no hunting, no diseases and illnesses and most of all, world peace. Like many good things, the treaty only lasted for a century when arguments over food, territory and leaders mounted and the hostility brought one thing. War.

Though all species were preparing for the upcoming battle, the original leaders, some dead and the rest frail and dying, had not announced a fight. They still longed for peace but their pleas went unheard by the rest of their species.

New leaders were elected, their reasoning for being chosen now based on their ability to fight and battle tactics. Some animals fled their homes in search of a new place to settle away from the violence. Most of these fleeing animals had fallen in love with a different species of their own and felt as if they would be fighting against their own species if they entered the war.
