A long time ago, during the first era, the time where everything was nothing more than just the whispers of something unknown even to the creators of this world, the infancy of mankind began after humanity’s first and most important journey. A story that shall remain untold even after this world gives place to another.
At that time, Humans had not tapped their potential, and their true nature was painfully clouded by their dire needs of survival, one could claim that be born human was to live in a state between a sleeping nightmare and a waking one, the sight of dawn a unwelcome messenger that the nightmare had not ended yet.
It was after the great journey inwards that, in time, humans could start to settle down and the nightmare slowly came to a end. but it took a entire generation of humans for it to happen so in the end, the first great hero of mankind: Damir, never really felt the end of his own nightmare.
Even so, these were the events that followed: The first nights were full of fear, but slowly, fear gave place to awe and delight, as the time passed, the dark shroud of night gave place in mankind’s imaginary to the glistening starry shroud of stars, filling their eyes with wonder, peace and inspiration. The beauty of the hour after the light started to slip into mankind mind, no longer did they tried to hide and sleep in fear, dreaming of nightmares and trembling in the dark, rather than it, they started to learn the song of the lights shining high in the sky against the blackness of above, they started to notice the tiny treasures of the hour of little light and their slumbering nightmares came to be placed by sleepy wonderlands.
The sight of beasts, their greatest fear, so strong the mere sound of a approaching animal was enough to make them cry and soil themselves in agony and despair of turning into the unknown of the black breathless sleep of pain and no return, slowly became clouded by company of the gentle company of small and fluffy little new friends that came to satiate their curiosity of their new neighbours, who were those new ones? their little minds thought, and these visits made the human heart, a cold, broken and lost land flourish into a gentle garden of a myriad of colourful blooms and warm winds. Humans lost the fear of the bigger animals and with the passage of time, learned to befriend and care for them, in turn, these bigger animals also cared back for the humans and the first greatest alliance, one that never broke, even to the farthest era, through the test of time began.
The daylight, a time of despair and agony, slowly through the test of time became a signal of hope and aspirations, mankind learned to dream awake of things and goals, they learned of the plants and how to care for them, what were their humours and what properties were for, they learned how go to further places, how to walk better, how to run better, how to climb better, they learned how to move underwater, they also learned of wounds, but wounds taught them of newfound courage and of how to care and grow stronger after, through the use of weeds and herbs, they learned of water, of fire, of the land.
And as peace settled, Humanity, after a single generation, started to look outside, and notice one thing: ”there is the world around me” Do not be mistaken, for this was the greatest spark to ever spring from the fire that is called Humanity. This single spark gave rise to all the stories that are going to be told time and time again until this world gives place to another.
