More than a thousand years ago the world suffered from a plague that wiped out more than half of the human population. No one saw the calamity coming. Everyone thought that it was the end but just when the light of hope got nearly extinguished by the famine, cruelty and anarchy caused by the plague, humans found salvation. It turned out that there are those who were immune to the virus. From their blood they found a way to salvage the remnants of the creatures inhabiting the planet. A vaccine was developed and was distributed successfully but the story didn't end there. The discovery of human's immune to such evolved type of virus led to a series of inhumane experiment done on a select few which were found to have survived death because of their evolved state. The select few disappeared one after the other. Where to? No one knows.
Three hundred years later, just when society started to blossom once more, thriving to regain its fallen luster and pride, another pole shifting event took place, the appearance of Neo-humans. These Neo-humans were intellectually superior, stronger and were capable of abilities known only to human in fiction. It was believed that they have managed to unlock 30 to 50 percent of their brain capacity. Along with their appearance came the existence of new animal and plant breeds. Where they all came from? No one knows.
The appearance of the more efficient beings was followed by disorder and struggle for power. The Neo-humans were capable of standing on their own. Soon enough they managed to build a metropolis for their own kind but not before having to deal with the humans who were fragile and inferior compared to their likes. There was bloodshed and the humans almost didn't stand a chance to the Neo-humans who can take down ten or more humans each. Again the already small population of humans started to deteriorate. As the Neo-humans rose into power and populated more of the lands over the years, the humans crumbled down and started to cower and hide for survival. There were still those who continued to fight but as soon as the human population dropped frighteningly, to less than one fourth of the original populace, they stopped. Self-preservation prevailed and they decided that there might be a way to compromise.
Borders that once separate one territory from the other were removed and so was the notion of countries. The Neo-Humans built a one world nation in their rule. The Neo-humans acting like the gods decided to give the remaining humans a chance on life and so the creatures who once ruled the world were pushed outside the boundaries of the new cities erected by the superior beings. They were given sovereignty over themselves in exchange they shall not involve themselves in the affairs of the new beings or ever bring any kind of disruption to the euphoric peace that the Neo-humans think they have achieved. Humans who dared to cross the line and the 'gods' were mercilessly slaughtered while some became test subjects to the experiments done by the superior ones.
In the passing centuries the realm bustled with diversity and life once more. Long were the days of the plague and wars. The Neo-humans became the official inhabitants of the place along with other species who live alongside them. The humans were just a thing of the past. They were forgotten as they decided that rebelling would only equate to their annihilation but there are still some in the group who believed that the time will come when the weak could gain leverage and once again own what was originally theirs. If they couldn't gain what they used to have at least they hoped to live as equals with the Neo-humans.
Despite being forgotten, the Neo-humans still takes interest with the humans. They would come and visit the lowly creatures every once in a while, in hopes to find individuals amusing enough for their taste. When Neo-humans came and visit the human towns, they would parade themselves lavishly as if to slap the filthy creatures in the face with the fact that they were far powerful than they are. The Neo-humans have all the extravagances and luxuries at the tips of their fingers, which resulted from the research and experiments they are all proud of, but somehow they always wanted more, an entertainment in the form of a puny human perhaps. Which only proves that despite being evolved the greed and madness that humans possessed in the deep recesses of their hearts never left their system.
Quietly the strife between the two worlds continued. It was epochs since the new beings appeared as well as the last major event that shook the world to its core. A lot has changed especially for the superior beings. In contrast the humans continued to live a dull almost pathetic, uneventful life. The freedom they once had and the power they once abused was snatched. What was left of them? Hope? Probably.
