Force and the races (1)

Derek and the other three walked into the lesson hall and sat close to the front seat. The row was almost filled but they made it in time, after awhile the hall was filled with about six thousand kids. The professor teaching them today was professor Silas and he was their favourite professor and they all loved his lessons, but the professor always comes late so they usually wait till he arrives.

The smaller door right next to the podium opened and professor Silas stepped out with his usual white outfit, he smiled at the kids and spoke softly,"I trust you are doing good in your camps, so today's lesson will be different from the others, today's lesson topic is a common knowledge to everyone even four year olds would know..". Silas paused to see the kids reactions and they were surely rowdy, why would their favorite history professor talk about such topic, they were not here to learn what they already know.

Silas lips curled up and said slowly,"you all know about Force and most races, but do you know their beginnings?". Those words silenced the kids, they all perked their ears as Silas words had captured their full attention, Force, everyone knows about it but the history was a different case.

Silas nodded his head satisfied with their attention, he took a blue glass cup filled with water and emptied it in his mouth, he dropped the cup on the tray which was held by a maid in white outfit, she bowed and left through the small door.

"Ahem..., A very long time ago the land wasn't this vast, it was divided into various continents large and small. There was only one race and they were the ancient humans, they numbered in billions with empires scattered in every continent although there was war the hatred was not deep, they thrived as one and explored the world for thousands of years and finally a day came when Force arrived, it's arrival signified the end of the ancient humans.

First the seas and oceans began to change and the divided continents joined together and became a vast unmeasurable land, and the seas and oceans joined to form what we had no other name than the great ocean or the boundless sea as some barbarians call it. Everything began to change from the lands to the forest and it's inhabitants, new resources appeared and the world seemed brand new to the ancient humans who was never afraid of the changes but actually happy that new things had arrived, they could explore more and discover better things to make their lives more comfortable.

Years passed and the ancient humans were immersed in the unlimited possibilities of the new world, their livestocks and vegetables produced strange energy that could heal minor injuries and sometimes increase their lifespans a little, their eyes were so full of the world's advantages that they forgot that everything can't always be good...", Silas paused, his eyes flashed and he said deeply,"there must be a balance, The origin beasts of the wild had evolved into a new race; one that has both human intelligence and strong enhanced beastly bodies, they stood like humans and walked on two legs, they had been blessed by their deities they called it, with their newly found powers they marched towards their oppressors, the top race at that time; the ancient humans. It was a massacre, the army of the ancient humans stood no chance against a Force enhanced race, many of their empires destroyed, their women violated and killed, buildings burned to ruins, this is the beginning of the racial war there was no slavery, the hatred to other races was that deep. The act of the beastmen angered the other empires as they allied and sent their forces to annihilate the beastmen, that was a joke the soft skins of the humans and their measly armour was useless against the beastmen, the reason the beastmen did not wipe out the ancient humans and take over their lands was because of an internal strife between the great golden tiger tribe, the white lion tribe and the bear tribe, these tribes are the main powers of the beastmen and they only agreed to send half their forces to battle the ancient humans, even with half their numbers the ancient humans were still losing.

The ancient humans could not even properly defend against the beastmen when the influence of Force began to act on them, separating the once united race into many. Their differences was first noticed on the battlefield as some ancient humans grew bigger, some grew dragonfly wings, some had their lower bodies turned into a horse, some bled different bloods while few died without any damage on their bodies, there was still other races that was not recorded at that time". Silas stopped and asked,"why do you think some died?".

A slim kid with brown robes which was totally different from the thick black the warrior kids wore, he was from the camp of potion makers. As he stood up the runes on the hall walls glowed dimly and while he spoke is voice was heard by everyone in the hall,"because they were poisoned". His eyes were firm, he believed that the only way for a person to die without any injuries or sickness is by poisoning. The other kids felt he made a good point, what else could cause such deaths.

Silas scoffed and said with half closed eyes,"they were failed products, no one knows where Force came from but it seemed like a heartless researcher and many ancient humans died such peaceful deaths, so the ancient humans had to face the mysterious death of their population and a major problem..".

With a deep voice Silas uttered,"they were separated!, The once populated and mighty ancient humans had been divided into different races and these new races had more advantage than the ancient humans so why stay under the ancient humans who were weak, but they knew sperating now would be a big mistake so they allied and sent the invading beastmen out of their lands, ignoring the possibility of a come back they faced each other, the ancient humans disgusted people with different blood, hated and feared the demi-humans they were also jealous of the beauty the winged race possessed. Even with their new found powers the new races couldn't beat the ancient humans due to the ancient humans large population.

Years passed and the population of the ancient humans kept reducing while the races which force had created kept getting stronger, the beastmen had finally come for their revenge after losing the last war, this time they were united and they stormed the ancient humans the other races left the ancient humans to fight on their own, but when only the last few empires were remaining the other races rose up and attacked, all differences aside the ancient humans were their progenitors and they couldn't watch them get annihilated by the beastmen, but the beastmen were powerful their thick skin can't be penetrated by ordinary weapons and with their advantageous sizes, they decimated both the armies of the ancient humans and other races, only one of the demi-human races called the barbarians could withstand their attacks, The beastmen had gotten stronger, more powerful and intelligent. The ancient humans who loved to explore and research went into study with both dead and painfully captured beastmen, they needed to know the reason for their increased strength and after years of continuous wars with serious drop in population both the ancient humans and other races had suffered deeply from the beastmen's endless attacks. A result finally came out, a way which all races could train force to empower them, the ancient humans were happy that they had finally found something to bring them back to their feet, but reality was cruel as although they did become stronger it was nothing in front of other races whose racial abilities were activated, the people with different blood; their phantoms and ellcrys, the demi-humans; their powers doubled the ancient humans, the water race could communicate with great water beasts and their physical capabilities were higher than the ancient humans, the barbarians could strengthen their skins to be as tough as rocks, the winged race(fairy)were blessed with lith bodies and amazing speed, their natural rune also gave them the ability to communicate with some land beasts and their powers with the bow was more than just talent, their main competitors were the centaurs.

This destroyed every inch of joy the ancient humans had, they were back to the weakest race once again, they found the right way to use Force and it benefited others than it's founders. In their moment of hopeless acceptance it their faith, the only race that had the least difference with the ancient humans except their blood and some other things came to their aide, a hundred years of peace was promised to the ancient humans and they would help the ancient humans face any problems they came across. The fairy race and the centaurs joined together to form a powerful empire and stayed passive, most of the water race disappeared into the boundless sea, but few stayed their reason unknown the demi-humans also stayed passive.

A calm period had arrived and the influence of Force increased, it created people of such power that they were worshipped, these people were known as the mystic saints and all races had a few. The ancient humans were favoured this time as the number of ancient humans they had was eight, having the highest number of mystic saints they were back to their position and they discarded the protection of the blood race, but their blessings were not over as ten mother energy gems grew in different concentrated area of the ancient humans, these mother gems created daughter gems around them, through research the ancient humans created a great army called the gem knights, these warriors could close the gap between the racial advantage of other races, the appearance of the gem knights made the ancient humans feel both glad and proud.

Their flamboyancy had brought jealousy towards them as the passive races had begun to encroach".
