After several months after implanting the robotic eye i kept having strange dreams about a family i had never met. As the dreams progressed i realized they were the memories of the robot that previously had the eye and arm. the boy in the family was Andrew and the mothers name was Agetha. As the dreams became more frequent i realized that this robot had been designed to protect humans and that it had turned against them because it was tired of being messed with and became self aware... it was the first self aware machine. it started the rebellion and the machine wars. After a while i learned from the robots memories that it was called the savior by other machines and that there was a hidden base full of machines on the island where i found the machine. I vowed one day to go to the machines and finish what their savior had started.
several more weeks pasted and i kept fighting and fighting and one day i saw an opening. there was a small patch of loose dirt that if i dug up during the night would give me freedom. the next night i dug my way out and ran for the exit of the town but the collar around my neck started to zap me. "shit i forgot the collar". as i ran back to the tent to get a tool to remove the collar it just unlocked and fell from my neck. "just go!" a voice in the shadows said. it was my father. "bad idea." i said as i hurled my human fist hard into his face which broke his nose.
when i got to the island i ran to the place where the base was. as i entered a clearing a giant tree sat in the middle with roots that connected to every tree on the island. this was the mother tree. it had a purple glow that emanated from its lavender leaves and white bark. another product from the radiation. as i touched the tree with my human hand i was suddenly able to feel every living thing on the island as if i was part of the tree. i pulled my hand away and saw a humanoid figure with pure white skin and hair and a segment of her neck was missing so her head floated as if by magic and her face had no eyes because she had two blood red eyes under her opalescent nippleless breasts and spiked horns protruding from the side of her head and with a toothy grin it said "hello "Andrew" i've been waiting a long time to meet you, i am the spiritual embodiment of the emotions of every living thing on this island, their hate, their love, their sorrow over the past century has formed into me as a single being that resides within this tree. i have protected this island so that one day a new successor may take my place."
"and what does this have to do with me?" i asked.
"you are going to replace me and usher a new world because i will make you immortal but in order to do so i have to kill you and then bring you back."
"WAIT, i have to die? Why?"
"because by doing so i can take your soul and fuse ours together so that you can usher in a new dawn to the world where all are equal."
"but why me?"
"because you were born in a world where you were despised by others and put down..."
"then how do you know i won't try to destroy the world instead?"
"because you have seen the good in this world as well. your friend that died was your friend by his choice. and the beast that nearly stepped on you when you first came here did not because it felt the suffering you went through as a child and wanted to show a tender side that humans hardened from hunting them but your pain softened its heart to love a human even though it was hunted by your people."
"ok. tell me what i must do."
"travel to the arena and show the people what it means to be equal."
"what shall i call you."
"through history beings like myself are refered to by many names such as god, zues, posioden, hades, the devil, it all depended on our point of view. there where also many truely evil figures in your history that are still alive today. one is a being named slender by your people. he created others like him that were broken humans like a small boy who felt no pain named ticci toby, who he took pity on the boy for the pain he suffered with no true feeling, another that slender did not pity named jeff was killed by him."
"what side are you on?" i asked.
"the side that wants to save this world."
"ok ill do it."
then she faded and she whispered as she faded "my name is Vasherna meaning "the mother tree""
then the vision faded away and i awoke in the boat on the edge of the city that i had just escaped from. i stepped from the boat and took a deep breathe as i said "here goes nothing." and walked through the main entrance and entered the city.
