We skip over the next hundred and fifty years in about one and a half minute.
Till the year 2025, every act skipped in this novel is exactly the same as it has happened in the real world.
After the year 2025, the pair of radioactive meteorites got submerged under the crust of the Earth and were exposed to the internal cores of the planet. Their radioactivity mutated under the presence of high pressure, temperature and the magnetic force.
This mutation in the core, due to radioactive Akrean metal, formed an cosmic electromagnet which pulled more asteroids and meteors towards the Earth. But these had only a fractional amount, which could be counted as inconsiderable, of the alien metal.
Wondrously, these meteors did not form a crater. Instead they pierced their way straight through the Earth's crust and into the mixture of magma and the original metallic meteor.
These meteor strikes across the world caused tectonic shifts. The tectonic shifts changed the placement of countries and even caused lands to submerge. Casualty count greatly exceeded the total count of the two world wars.
This event, that had effectively preyed the planet for thirty years, was collectively known as the 'Cosmic Wrath' or simply 'The wrath'
These shifts took about eleven thousand days to cease. Territories changed, positions changed, continents changed. But people. They remained the same.
Those who lost lives were commemorated. Those who lost homes were provided shelter and all the governments and the people returned life back to normal. All tries made to find the cause of these effects had been unsuccessful and the trials had now faded. Person met person. People made families. Families formed communities and nations began to run and grow. Life was back to normal. A new normal. A new beginning, from the year 2055. And in that time, all the governments of the world unitedly made a decision. A world order, which stated that Army camps be installed, with immediate effect, at the whole perimeter of national borders.
'Camps, fully supported with tactical equipment and basic defence resources, shall be installed at distances of five kilometres at every border that faces another nation, in addition, they shall be provided with two high powered ballistics and two automobiles; Camps, fully supported with tactical equipment and assault retaliation resources, shall be installed along the coastal territories, situated fifty metres from the edge of the waters, and no public entrance shall be allowed in a radius of five kilometres from the camp, these coastal camps shall be situated at twenty-five kilometres from each other, and shall be surrounded by five kilometres of forest on the three interior sides and mild wilderness at the border end ; Public beaches shall be restricted to a maximum length of fifteen kilometres, situating between two army camps and shall be highly fortified and fenced near the military forest end of the land; The council hopes that need for extreme utilisation of these provisions does not arise '

But blood stains do not succumb to the trials of time. Instead, they relapse as time passes by.
