CHAPTER 8

457 Million CE
Astisha's POV
“Attention everyone!” A voice rung.
Today is where all the relatives of the Luminous were gathered in a huge hall of the Luminous' mansion to celebrate the day of birth of our grandfather Orion.
We've been here for a month and fortunately, we can manage ourselves in terms of socializing to people but we badly want freedom.
Several chandeliers were hung in the ceiling that makes the atmosphere dazzling. Ten grand tables with adorable skirting were placed in the hall surrounded by hundreds of golden chairs. Huge windows decorated with red elegant curtains and the stage with golden decorations. Foods are scrumptious.
There are nine families related to Luminous’ clan. Every household were seated in each table and the other table were seated by the superiors of each continent: Mr. Maverick of Europe, Mr. Shudnazo of Africa, Mr. Scott of The Americas and Mr. Walley of Australia. They are the co-leaders of Zacheus Luminous, my Dad who rule the Asia. Lolo Orion's friends and relatives were also invited.
This party was a surprise for Lolo Orion. It was planned by Dad few days ago and it turned out to be effective. And this is also my first time seeing different faces of the future including the superios of the other continents.
“Do you believe in extinction of humanity?”
In a blast, a question thundered by our grandfather Orion Luminous—a question that made me uneasy. Science is difficult to explain especially if it has not yet happened or been proven. This is no reality, no proof, just prediction. I know humanity will extinct. But when? When will human life end?
“It is not just prophesy, this is an inevitability. All species on the timescale of a every human lifetime, will extinct. All people will be wiped out on Earth's surface,” he added blisteringly. His look was intense.
My sisters Astral and Ashtar were speechless. Silence filled the hall. People stopped socializing with each other. Their eyes were fixed on my grandpa who's seated on the grand chair in front of us. Even the five superiors were startled.
Talaga nga namang wala silang kaalam-alam sa mga bagay na iyon. They are forbidden to seek for the truth that's why their knowledge are limited.
“How could you say so, Papa?” My Dad asked humorlessly. Even his co-leaders wanted to know Lolo Orion's perspective and his point of view. Every person inside the hall was flummoxed.
And I don't really believe that the superiors know nothing. I know they know something much more than we know. Because in the first place, why would they be so strict in implementing rules about exploring the world.
“Our ancestors once believed that every life will come to an end. Earth will be burnt into ashes and dust. And when that day comes, we will be perished,” Lolo Orion explained.
Children were aghast, parents seem perturbed, the superiors became spineless but we triplets, feel nothing but mystified.
“With all due respect Mr. Orion, history will remain history. Our generation is different from them. Their beliefs in the twentieth century are not accurate,” Mr. Scott of the Americas voiced out in a sudden.
“Remember, nasa future tayo. Hindi nila pinaniniwalaan ngayon ang mga predictions natin noon,” I sounded.
Yes, what we knew, what we experienced nor what we believe in the past has nothing to do with the present. We have different viewpoint by the way. Pero bahala sila. Pake ko kung ayaw nilang tanggapin ang paniniwala sa taong pinaggalingan namin.
