Fallen Worlds and New Beginnings
By. Wingedisis16
Prologue
The end of the world. In the year 2008 the world ended. The year is now 2486; the world I live in is one of ruin. I have a story to share, a story to tell. A story of death and of life. A story of hope and of despair. This is the tale of the events that would cripple or save humanity.
"Let's go!" I yelled to the others as I walked down the forest path. Our ship was just ahead. We boarded and closed the back bulkhead door as Derrick took pilot seat. In seconds we were in the air, then space born.
It was like any other day; we were looking for information that would tell us that someone had once lived on this planet. By the looks of it no one had lived here in over 400 years. About 15 minutes later, we landed in the ruins.
The ruins floated on the vast ocean that covered the planet we were on. Besides a piece of land the size of North America, the planet was completely covered in water. The ruins themselves were old. It was also the remains of the last powerful city in the universe, Atlantis.
"I'm goanna stay a little while longer. Go on ahead with out me." I said exiting the ship. I stood back as the others went through the ring in the ship.
"Ok, I'll see you back at base." That's the last thing I would say to him for a while.
The ring as we had found out could transport matter across great distances, from one planet to another. That's how we found this place, we were exploring.
I got out my climbing rope, if the stairs gave way, I would need it. I climbed the stairs and made a right. I walked pass the many consuls that were covered in dust. I entered a small room. This was not the first time I had been in here. This room was the most stable out of the entire city. I sat down in the only chair and turned on the tablet computer that was on the desk. Every time we came here I would say behind and read from the personal log of a Dr. Elizabeth Weir.
Dr. Weir lived in the time of the end. She was the expedition leader of the Atlantis expedition from Earth. She and the others of this city died protecting it during its siege in 2008 A.D.
Around the room were many pictures, mostly pictures of Earth or of her expedition, but one picture stood out. It was of her and a man, whose name I did not know. It was taken on the balcony just outside this room, it was a wedding.
I sat there reading from her log for some hours. When I decided it was time to get back, I decided to take the computer and picture with me this time, the computer needed to be charged.
I walked out of the room and dialed the ring. As I stood in the great room where the ring was kept I paused for a moment, took out the camera from my backpack, and took a 360° picture, then I stepped through the ring.
As I exited the ring I saw multiple weapons pointed at me. I stopped walking forward, and looked around. I was in Atlantis, but it was different then my own. It was not in ruins.
In front of me a man said something, I didn't understand. I decided to play it safe and put my hands on my head. Behind me someone fired a stunner. I fell to the floor, but remained conscience. The man in front of me yelled at the person who had shot me. I picked myself up off the floor and slowly stood up. I was shaking, but kept my balance. I finally got a good look at the man, he was the one from the photo I had in my bag. My legs finally gave way and I blacked out before I even hit the floor.
