Lineage

Prologue

            

"When Mother Nature paid the price for man's progress, she began to die slowly. The trees fell like there were no roots at all; no plants grew, not even weeds, ; the water around the world became mist and disappeared, never came back a single drop as if the heavens no longer exists ; and the continents begin to clash against one another with fierce and fire within the planet causing massive earthquakes that blended the countries. It lasted nearly three hundred years and Men was on the brink of extinction. The remaining leaders of the Earth formed a Union and made a pact with the Mars Consul to leave the planet because it was inhabitable and never to set foot on it again. The plan was to evacuate to Mars and join the colony on board Calliope, a ship big enough to support a population of a single country.

Just when they are about to leave, a dying fox was dragging a small nest basket. Little did they know, it carried a baby girl. Luckily, a young man named Peter, took the baby secretly on board to Mars. He took care of that baby and nurtured it as his own, together with his son Xilvire. His son and the girl fell in love at some point. Peter is one of the most beloved politicians in the Union so he became the first prime minister of Earth to Mars.

Mars is a developing country during the twentieth century until Earth cancelled their support on the colonization even though they revived it back as a second Earth. The previous leaders of Earth were so focused on building progress and waging wars against each other. So they too formed a Mars Consul where they struggled to survive until they succeeded on making a civilization of their own. Martian citizens were quiet different than of Earth's. They were taller and smarter due to their technologies yet their bodies cannot adapt to Earth if they can visit it.

40 years later, the Prime Minister received news that would eventually make their way back home sooner than never. A miracle happened, the Earth was reborn. Meteors that once orbited the Earth millions of years ago carried water and life forms which revived it once more. The continents began colliding one another to form a super continent called Pangaea Ultima. The planet is slowly coming back to life, animals and the other life forms mated to make Hybrids, marvelous creatures that ruled the vast continent and the uncharted ocean.

Apparently this news would cancel the pact and would like start a war with the consul. Peter was already showing signs of weakness. He's silvery hair grew thinner by the second and unable to lift himself up, so he asked his son to gather his most trusted men and the population of late Earth to repopulate and make an empire which later on be the only government on the planet with a single king to rule. The Martian Consul was against this for they would likely be overpowered by the Monarchy they've made. This soon became the Civil war of two worlds which lasted for nearly three generations of King Xilvire until they came to an agreement, a treaty that they would leave each planet in peace with a prime minister of Earth to Mars and another from Mars to Earth.

However, as the years have gone by, Xilvire's Lineage has special abilities that are passed down from generation to generation. It was because of the nameless baby girl from before which later became his wife. She was the fabled Mother Earth in flesh. She lived for almost throughout the war, until she disappeared. Rumor has it that she turned to ash. Her passing made the people of Earth worried that they've killed her twice and the life of the planet would return to its dead state but it never did. The Lineage was keeping the Earth alive"

That's how I remembered it when I was just a little girl, my mother told me this story every night. It was a story of how an Empire rose from the Armageddon. It is not a story you would tell your daughter before she goes to bed, yet I love the way she tells it.
