Chapter 23: Terra

Terra, formerly known as Earth, is a world like no other. It was the first planet to harbour and support life. A rocky, terrestrial place that had a solid and huge surface with valleys, mountains, terrains and so much more.

Seventy percent of the planet is covered with water and only thirty percent of its surface is land. It was inhabited by beings called humans who were said to rule the land over other beings.

Humans saw themselves more powerful than any other. They treat themselves as the unique and superior beings created by God. But in the year 2020, the first mythical creature was sighted.

Paranormal events continuously happened that year. Bodies had been reported seen everyday in different places, as if their soul had been taken from them. Humans started to fear the night so the government implemented a curfew in some areas.

Then humanity's survival was threatened once more when one by one, people's health started to deteriorate without any reason. Scientists, medical experts, doctors and leaders from all over the world were alarmed from the sudden rise of the death toll so they created a team assigned to study the certain phenomena.

No one from the team of experts could scientifically explain such events.  Until one woman who called herself the messenger of the Gods came forward, telling them that it was a curse.

Humans became arrogant, sinful, and considered themselves as perfect. They have committed the seven deadly sins so as punishment, the Gods of Heaven allied with the Demons of Hell to test the humans. 

The Demon King, Asmodeus, sent his sons and daughters to spread terror and fear to the human world to test if they deserve to live in paradise or rot in hell.

After knowing the truth, different mythical creatures surfaced, trying to invade Earth and cast the humans away. Thus the war begins.

In the year 2021, Earth almost became a dead planet. It was split into six territories, the humans, the witches, the fairies, the demons and monsters, the Lamians or popularly known as vampires, and lastly the shapeshifters or the werewolves. 

The humans who were once considered superior to other beings became the weakest creatures on the planet. From being the hunter, they became the hunted. They became the prey for the creatures lurking in the night, especially for demons and monsters. It was the year that the Great War was recorded.

The Gods pitied the humans and sent the messenger to tell them about a prophecy. According to that, Hyperion, the Titan God and Orcus, the Demon God have favored one creature, granting immortality and the power to end the war. The Gods, however, didn't give any clue who it was.

The humans searched far and wide to look for the one who was favored by the Gods. At first, they thought it was a human until a Demon Princess who fell in love with a human, told them that the one they were looking for was in fact, a werewolf.

That time, the werewolves and the vampires were at war on their own. They don't really meddle in the war between humans and demons. But the humans were desperate to survive so they decided to go to the werewolves' lair.

No one really knows what happened in that meeting. Rumor said that the human who was sent in the werewolf territory became a hostage. But after a few weeks, one of the elders from the werewolf clan, offered a peace treaty to all the creatures living on Earth.

It was said that the werewolf who was favored by the Gods did something to the leaders of each clan so they would agree to sign the treaty.

Peace and trust between clans started to form, but Earth's resources became limited. Another war might happen again if they won't be able to sustain each other's needs.

As Earth was slowly dying, the leaders from each clan had no other choice but to look for another planet to live on. They found Mars or the red planet, now known as Mirrikh, the second place that could support the lives of many.

But the Goddess Terra or Mother Earth, also blessed the werewolf with a gift. She gave the humans another chance to continue living on earth and with one flip of her finger, earth became what it was before. Rich in resources, boasting an abundance of wildlife. 

As their thanks to the Goddess, Earth's name changed to Terra and the humans were now called Terrans as they were still the original inhabitant of the land.

The peace treaty has been signed by all leaders of the clans. They built a place where the elders of Terra gathered to maintain peace, security and to develop friendly relations to every creature living in Terra. The place was called Levaerun meaning free land.

Built in the first month of 2022, Levaerun was the biggest structure in Terra located in the capital of Oprea, Aramoor City. The elders organization was called Sancta Elysium meaning abode for the blessed after death. They named it like that because earth died but was reborn with the Goddess' grace and blessing. Those who held a position in the organization were called the Elysian Elders, or the blessed.

"And that's how our land attained peace even though different creatures were living here. The Elysian Elders were composed of Terrans, Werewolves, Vampires and the likes to make sure that all clans could give their opinions in every decision regarding Terra." The professor continued.

"Does anyone know about the werewolf who was favored by the Gods?" One of the students asked.

"It was kept a secret by everyone. Only one man was able to meet the werewolf. Who do you think that man was?" The professor asked.

"The man who was held hostage. He was the one who was sent to the werewolf territory to talk to them." It was Maxine who answered.

"That's correct. The man who fell in love with the Demon Princess, Allistair Cohen.." The professor answered.
