Evolution

volution! It is the soul of survival; it is the arms of fate and is the key to life and death. If humans had not evolved, life on earth would not exist; their home planet would be a hollow, dried out husk floating in space. Evolution unlocked the doors to magic and created an entire new civilisation based on its mythical power.

Human evolution happened slowly at first, but on the year 2012, human evolution took an enormous leap. It was the time when the entire planet was under a heat wave, with temperatures ranging from 89°f to 120°f all over the planet. People and animals ran for higher ground as the water level rose, but the aquatic life swam merrily around to explore the submerged homes and forests with great interest.

 Perhaps it was the life or death situation, or it was a freak occurrence; but it seems at this time the magic locked within all creatures was tapped and used. For as they ran, people, animals and plants started to form together, a bird and a ferret would weave together to create a fethen. Or a fallen human would sink into a nearby fish to create a merrow (merfolk). A human and a tree would fuse and create a dryad.

 For many years, all beings went back to the old ways with no electricity and other modern tools. After a long time, all the different creatures started to make clans which then turned into guilds. There were many guilds and many still just clans, but the four most recognized guilds were Fayni-Tal (the fairy guild), Tredon fortuse (the dryad guild), Sazarm zee (the merfolk guild) and Bladboless (the vampire guild). The Bladboless were a fierce, naturally blood-thirsty people and the cause of many wars that were waged at the time for power and land. The wars that were fought were gruesome, violent and caused many deaths on all sides. By the time the year 2963 had passed there were less than five-hundred-million life forms on earth and many of them were insects.

As the people on earth were slowly being decimated, the battles were fewer and farther apart until there were no more wars to wage. The people began to multiply and by 2978 the world was thriving again. Unfortunately, the peace did not last and once again conflict arose. These battles were more complex than the wars after the "New Beginning"; there was treachery, assassinations, and as the beings started to master the art of magic they began to control other beings (mostly they would target an opponent) and use them to attack their enemies.

The year 3052 was the year the fifth guild was created, Combontuss Etthin. It was organized by a fairy named Eridnor, who was made an outlaw at the young age of nine, which is only two and one quarter human years. She had been possessed by a sorcerer and was made to kill the most peaceful fairy queen Zerra-Tal.

"It is a dishonour to all phae and those who are possessed are therefore outlaws."

-a reading from the fairy bible

Eridnor had a great knowledge of warfare and knew what it could do to all things so she created a peaceful guild, one that would not go to war against anyone. Her guild soon grew into the most recognized guild on earth for its pacifism. After only two years, the wars had ceased and all the guilds signed a treaty with all the other guilds, clans and tribes. Eridnor's guild didn't just bring peace and prosperity, but also re-discovered scientific research for those who had lost the power of magic.

Electricity was reinvented in 3057 and then things began to roll; 3068, space travel was accomplished, 3096, the entire galaxy had been traversed. 3245, portal transportation is mastered, 3427-3915, planet colonization, 4016, present day with new things to discover.
