Miorpeans are an ancient race that use starlight as a source of nourishment and energy. For eons they traveled the cosmos in search of sentient life that existed harmoniously within the limits of a planets balanced bio-network. They found the inhabitants of Earth to be in violation of this, the most imperative and fundamental of their natural laws. The planet was withered, desolate, and dying. Its environment was collapsing and Humans were deemed responsible for the planets deplorable condition, and eradicated. Now, after centuries of terraforming, a rejuvenated Earth was ready for habitation. A team of Miorpean researchers were tasked with testing the environment of this newly reclaimed world. One member of the team, Mira, made a stunning discovery. Somehow, humans had survived and were thriving in large communal settlements. Mira would come to believe that these humans respected the planet and vowed to protect them from the fate the befell their ancestors. This action would bring her into an intense conflict with a code of ethics and beliefs that has guided the course of her ancestral people since the beginning of time.

While I know there are areas where I still have room to grow, I hope this story offers a glimpse into my inner world of imagination and exploration.) Thank you for your support!
