The Grand-Project Reset:

The 3-Phases-Project to save the Planet.

In the Wake of the War of Titans, as the surviving Humans called the Global war, fought with the Titano Machinae and Nuclear Warfare, the world was scorched here and there and completely polluted, left uninhabitable for anyone.

Continents began to crumble, the Glaciers and Ice-plates of the Antarctica began to melt down in rapid fashion, causing regular floods and tsunamis.

The sky began to turn black and sour rain began to fall here and there on earth.

Life was at a losing gamble in this environment…, and yet, there was a small number, 25 Million People, managed to survive through the help of the one Juno, who did not abandon and betrayed them.

Yulungur.

This Juno, different from her peers did not join in the Genocide against Humanity, but sought to protect the same.

Against themselves, the Junos and against the being that inevitably would arise out of this conflict, being woken by the devastation caused onto his feeding Ground.

Marohumt, the ancient Evil, was sure to not take kindly on the ploy of the Junos, especially after imprisoning him for so long, through the cluster of otherworldly artefacts, such was clear to Yulungur and therefore, preventive measurements had to be taken.

In order for Humanity to somehow survive, the same had to be brough out of Reach of Marohumt, furthermore, in order to do so, a new, habitable place had to be constructed, an area, so vast that the 25 Million people would be able to spread and cultivate new cultures.

However, there was still the problem that all of that humanity still knew about warfare, bloodshed and about the massive power and terror the Titano Machinae brought.

Some of the Humans she had saved requested Titano Machinae of them own, to combat those of the other Junos and they were slowly so slowly going on a rampage withing the enclosed island of Australia.

A Civil War…, this was most likely the outcome out of the discontent of the Humans about their sudden situation and the fact that so many nationalities, lands and culture, some hostile to others, some indifferent and some completely tolerating to almost anything.

The speech, different lands different Rules was not given anymore, if all those contradicting factors were pushed onto the narrowest of spaces.

A New Doctrine had to be established, one which everybody had to abide by, naturally that spurred on the conflict between the survivors even more.

Yulungur who calculated day and night for a solution, that would benefit everyone was nearly at a loss of ideas and possible actions to take.

In her desperation she began to seek the dialogue with her most trusted Humans, the 12 Students and their Professors, now all grown up adults.

Respectable people who no one dared to belittle or to mock upon their opinion anymore, not like in all the years before the war.

They were akin to saints…, however, there were also many who condemned them for the times they had living in now, after all, it was their discovery which spiraled the downfall to humanity.

More and more this mindset was adopted by the people, especially by all those who have lost property and family to the war.

The Accusations went so far that many assaults happened owards the 12, one of two of them almost claimed the life of multiple of them.

The 12 were lastly so afraid that they did no longer dared to even leave the Futzu tower anymore.

But even worse, the Blame-game was established under the 12, who was responsible for what aspect of the downfall of Humanity.

Who was to be blamed for all the lives they had lost.

Ultimately the blame was passed on towards 2 persons, The Professor and the one who even introduced him to the idea of the Junos, even if unknowingly.

Thomas Hendrickson and his Student Remus Santiago.

Of course, was the gravity of that decision, that both these characters began to fall in utter despair.

In the 5 year, after the outbreak of War, Thomas Hendrickson committed suicide, something which no one counted with.

His Wife Marissa Hendrickson and his Son, Liam Hendrickson, blamed the other 11 Students for this tragedy, rightfully claiming that all of them were to blame for the Juno´s Plague, if this blame was even founded at all.

Yulungur, who could not watch how her once so trusted `Friends´ began to destroy each other, then suggested a plan of incredible magnitude, something which never happened before in reality, but which hadn´t been an unknonw concept to humanity either, something so outrageous it might just work, of course did this decision she took not came from out of nowhere, after a long talk with Remus, who had begun to seclude himself in Yulungur´s Chamber, Mirrimina, not wanting to meet another human being, that accused him of having done this and that, Yulungur began to understand him, understand humans better.

Upon conversing with Yulungur, calling her his only friend left, Yulungur began to understand more and more of the human brain and their heart, how easily it was swayed by emotions and feelings, it was something so fascinating and also completely different to the rational and logical mindset of her and her peers.

But the more Yulungur understood, the more she had to recognize that many of her own decisions had begun to stray from what seemed logical and rational, the doctrine the Junos usually followed did not seemed to apply to her any longer, she was free to think about her decisions and make suggestions to herself, to reach for the most favorable outcome for all of the here present.

Due to such a sudden moment, Yulungur began to form a new plan, a radical and most likely extremely controversial plan, one which would most likely not being taken well by most of the Humans, but which might be their only chance of surviving, of not being completely extinct, but only extinct to a certain degree.

Their Bodies and Memories would have to be erased, but their spirits and their souls, the very aspect of human evolution, the Creator-Genome, was to be preserved.

Yulungur began to unfold her plans before Remus, who was shocked but after days of thinking things through, he himself had to see that this was most likely the only solution to their arising problem.

The imminent Civil War would likely erase the rest of humanity either way, so why not do so in order to safe them, rather than erase them completely.

Yulungur asked for Remus to gather all his co-Students and the Son of Professor Hendrickson, Liam, for her to disclose further informations of her plan.

Although Reluctant to work with him, but seeing no other chance than this, the other students heeded Remus´s call, so also Liam, with whom he usually had a good connection towards, as Remus and his father were quite close, even more so before the latter´s suicide, resulting in the seclusion of the other.

Once they had all gathered, Yulungur explained to them the 3 Phases of the Grand-Project Reset.

A project with the result of wiping out all organic life, their DNA´s saved in a massive library consisting of Flora and Fauna, to later use it to reawaken nature, Beastkind, and possibly also Humanity…, or the next best evolution after them.

Of course, such a plan was not to be done instantly, how could they do so, it was after all a highly moral and ethical question…, so in order for them to make a clear decision themselves and to see where the fate of the last humans was leading them currently, Yulungur gave their ultimate decision a deadline of 10 years.

Only few people should know about the plan, to evade a revolt from being set loose, which might in the end destroy her and so also the shield around them, the momentary last line of defense against the outer chaos.

Therefore, beside of the families of the 12 Students as well as Liam and his mother, no one was aware of the possible end of humanity, about 40 people in total, but only the 13 of them were to decide the fate of humanity, if they would not already destroy themselves before the countdown of the deadline was running out.

If they would decide to lay their fate in the hands of Yulungur, she would immediately initiate the Grand operation Reset, the same was separated in 3 Phases:

1st Phase: Project 8 Pillars

Birth of the 8 Apostles of the New Beginning

This phase should birth 8 so called Hybrids, Yulungur-replicants with Humanoid bodies, facial mimic, as well as a simulation of feelings, a higher advanced form of the former already quite high-advanced Androids, which the humans created.

This plan was already initiated during the 10 years of Deadline to the Humans, in order for the Biologic Artificial Intelligences, short B.A.I. to grow up via growth acceleration and be in an adult state, by the time the humans were to make their decision, if the humans would decide against the Grand-Project the 8 were to be cryogenically frozen and preserved for a new purpose during another time, if such need were to arise.

In the Case that Humans would accept the offer, they would be old enough to guide the new Generation as the 8 pillars on which the new world would be build upon.

They were created, to each have a so called Main-Order Program implanted into them, a Doctrine so to say, which should allow them to work with the benefit of the coming generations in mind, to primary teach and educate them to a level of self-sustainability and lastly, to help them raise new civilizations.

However, they were to also prevent the new generation from causing new Wars, therefore the knowledge of Weapons such as Fire Arms and everything that came after, was to be withhold of them, every record of advanced-weaponry was to be erased.

Logically it was impossible to keep weapons away from the new Generations, as the evolution of the Cave man had proven, with just a little creativity everything could become a weapon.

However, over the course of the millennia of observing Humanity and the latter conclusion after the events of the War of Titans, Yulungur understood that the ultimate downfall of the Humans, could have been prevented, when Fire-arms were never invented.

Back in the age of Sword and Axe, only skill and sometimes luck, was able to determine the winner of a battle.

But with the first introduction of Fire-arms, even a complete novice to the battle could kill someone else, with their appearance in the world of Humanity, Small nations that usually were peaceful suddenly became a massive threat to others, if they would rack up many firearms, like guns and Cannons.

One cannon, if fired correctly, could instantly kill or at the very least mutilate 10 men at once…, it was a frightful invention to that time and everybody sought to obtain them for their own, which caused more and more war and conflict, as only a small number, in the beginning, had them in their possessions.

If this Knowledge was forever withheld from the new Generations, maybe, only maybe, the world would turn out different as it has.

Fire-arms and Mass-destruction weapons shall never be invented again.

The 8 Apostles were to make sure of that.

Birthed they were by Yulungur herself, for that she required a span of 6 years, as well as a donor of human Genes.

For that she insisted on Remus as the only one out of the 13 persons most dear to her, who never accused another of being at fault for the downfall of humanity, also was he the first to accept Yulungur´s offer after nearly 2 years but wanted to wait for the decision of the others.

In the span of the next 6 years, Yulungur and Remus procreated and indeed managed to birth 8 humanoid Junos, for that, Yulungur had created herself an Artificial body, based on Human DNA, with the ability of reproduction.

So, to say was she the first Juno-Human Hybrid herself.

It was obvious that Remus had been quite attracted to Yulungur, especially when she stood at his side in his time of mental anguish, so seeing her in the flesh so to say, helped him overcome his doubts altogether.

The 8 Hybrids were birthed one by one in that span of 6 years, one every 9 months, however, 72 months of constant pregnancies, was too much for Yulungur's artificial body, the same began its decay faster than anticipated, so giving further birth was no longer enabled.

The Number of the Apostles was therefore set on eight.

Their Names were chosen by Remus, after the Greek alphabet and by Yulungur mostly after the Roman Divine Pantheon.

Alpha Jupiter: The First-born and apparent Leader of the Apostles, his main task was to establishthe new Primordial Laws, Laws which every intelligent life had to abide by, based upon his knowledge of ancient laws of Humanity, as well as all the religious Commandments in all their facets, as well as the Law of Nature, all in order for the New Generation of Sentient intelligent life to prosper in a peaceful and war-less environment.

Of course, the rise of civilizations was never without conflict, even a reset was not being able to eradicate that.

Therefore, in times of conflict, he was to be the Arbiter…, after taking in the views and feelings of all parties involved in said conflict, as well as to look at the bigger picture and calculating all probable consequences and benefits, he was to hold Judgement and his Judgment, after being discussed with the other 7 Apostles, was then ultimate.

Beta Minerva: The Second Born and Oldest female under the Apostles was to act as the Primordial Mother, she was blessed with most of the knowledge upon nature and society.

Her main task was to teach the new Generation all there was to know in order to survive.

From Hunting and Gathering towards surviving in the wild, to raise a whole new Generation of Intelligent lifeforms.

Gamma Neptune: The third Born and the second born daughter, she was to, once the new Generation was ready, to show them the way of traveling to faraway lands.

As the Saint of Travelers, she was to oversee the immigration of the new generation into new territory of the world they were to explore, until each new sentient and intelligent race would find their place in the new world.

Epsilon Apollon: The fourth born and the second Son was bringing the new Generation culture and entertainment to share with each other on the two days of rest within a week.

Sport-festivals, poetic recitals, theater, music and dance, all of that was to be his doing.

The Apolonia was a massive international festival in his name, in which all the new intelligent races were to show the fruits of their culture, many new songs, hymns, sports etc…, were introduced to the world.

Theta Mars: the fifth born and the third born son, he was the Saint of Warriors and farmer.

He taught the new generation on how to defend themselves, if ferocious beasts and invading forces were to attack the weak.

His ideal was that the strong, with great power, were to assist those who could not defend themselves and he was known to punish those who used their power to bully the weak instead.

He taught the new Generation all about agriculture and all of its benefits and helped the people in times of great droughts, failed harvests and the therefore resulting famines by inquiring his Sister, Gamma Neptune, to send merchants and travelers with new wares towards the misfortune-stricken lands in order to inspire trade, this way no nation ever went extinct.

Ny Vulcanus: The Sixth born and the fourth born son, he was responsible for bringing forth Artisans, Architects, Carpenters and Smiths.

As Saint of Artisans, he taught the new Generation on how to invent and build all there was to live, to evolve from the boundaries of their cave-homes.

The highest Tower ever build was named in his name, Volca.

In times of disasters, it were his devote followers, who would travel from Land to land, in order to lend a hand to rebuild entire cities, wherever something was to be build, you could be sure that a Vulcanus devotee was involved.

Sigma Venus: The Seventh born and third born daughter, she was known as the Saint of Family and Relationships, in her name, the Venusia, the ancient form of Marriage, was established in all cultures.

However, she was not only known for family-building but also for the establishing of political relationships…, oaths, vows and contracts were made official if the Venus-seal was applied to a document.

Once applied, this document became a binding contract, breaking such would dishonor the entire parties involved on the oath-breaker´s side

Omega Nova: The Eighth born and fifth born son, the last of the 8 Apostle and the only one with the most important task.

Once the world below was cleansed and the reawakened Marohumt was defeated, or went back to hibernation, he, alongside the Tool Tartaros, was to lower the continent back to the surface of the planet as well as splitting the existing Giga-Continent back into its parts.

A task which should happen within 7 days, to give everyone the possibility to find shelter and travel back, if necessary, to their home, before The Great Divide, after the so-called World-fall, would occur.

The World-fall, also known as Operation C.O.D.A (Continent Orientation Defloat Alignment) was to be a secure lowering of the Continent under a massive Shield, trough the plasma-cloud-sea.

Neither the population nor the environment of the new world was to be harmed by the Plasma.

For that the 3rd Phase of the Grand-Project Reset, Project Homecoming, was to be executed, however before all of that could happen, the 2nd phase, Project Purgatory, had to be initiated.

2nd Phase: Project Purgatory:

Operation Exodus and Operation C.O.F.A. (Continent Orientation Float Alignment)

After the creation of the 8 Apostles, Yulungur was ready to hear the decision of the humans.

As this was a tremendous decision to take, she had given them 10 years time to decide, but even she could calculate the outcome.

Next to famine, sicknesses and the overall blame that flew all around, the last bit of Humanity, those 25 Million People, which have almost doubled in the last 10 years, gathered together on a tiny Land with barely any room to spread.

It was like a breeding ground for conflict and bloodshed.

Australia laid in a Civil War, the rich tried to get richer by any means necessary, even trying to use the current situation to their own benefit, while the poor did anything, absolutely anything, just to survive another day.

The day of the Choice had come, but against all expectation Yulungur had, the Choice was still not made by an unanimous vote.

2 of the 12 were fully against this measure, even with things were going they held on the believe that Humanity might eventually be able to be saved.

3 others wanted nothing to do with this vote, for they had long given up any hope, whether for Humanity or for the world, all they wanted was to live their lives until the end of their days in peace, far away from any tremendous decision to make.

The there were the last 7, under them Remus Santiago.

After his mother died by sickness, he knew that the time had come.

He had nothing more to loose but his life…, and if it meant to pave the way for a fully new generation of sentient lifeform to see the light of the next day, then he was surely not going to stand in it´s path.

The Five who decided for a Reset had all similar thoughts and experiences, one each of them had seen the good but even more so the bad in humanity, and no one, absolutely no one, could deny that Humanity had been the cancer of the world all along, everything outside of Australia´s border was proof to that claim.

However, the other 2 who were against did not wanted to give up, and in a fit of rage upon the decision of the other five, they broke their Vow of Secrecy and told the Public about the Plan of Yulungur.

In the end it came as it came, the Civil Wars were abolished, in But it was futile and far too late, Humanity had made it´s choice, showing in all glory, once more, that it was unfit to rule this planet, this world any longer.

As the Revolt grew and the Humans almost managed to blow up the Futzu Tower, Remus Santiago, ordered by the other 6 who held the Mob back as best as they could, with guns and everything else, activated the Reset Command, saying a last tearfull goodbye towards Yulungur, wishing that he could meet her in the other world, their renewed world, again.

With the button pushed, the end of all life had begun, Project Exodus was activated, a Shockwave of pure high concentrated energy, straight to the Asthenosphere, right underneath the outer crust of the planet, an act with extreme consequences.

Like Throwing a boulder into a lake, the surface of the lava began to waver violently, it was as though a tsunami had been unleashed right underneath earth´s crust, this unleashed a violent chain reaction.

Every active Volcano, and inactive Volcanos alike, began to spread their natural violence all around, alone in Australia, every Volcano literally exploded at once, the earth was truly burning from one moment to the next and that for an entire week.

By that time thought, the murderous Mob outside of the Tower had long perished, reduced to ashes in a matter of seconds by the nearest exploding Volcano, all Humans that rose up in order to kill and slaughter, even before gaining Knowledge of Yulungur´s plan, had been given their divine punishment, on the other hand, all of those who had come to terms with the end of their existence long before, were sent to eternal sleep, by something which they might have described as a hot breeze out of a running oven, only that this one was over 3.000°C hot.

In comparison to the earth´s entire history, in an instant, everything was over, millions of years of history and evolution went down in a literal blaze, only the Futzu Tower, defended by a strong Shield, remained unscathed.

The Titano Machinae, stripped of their pilots and some having their outer shell that far damaged due to the seismic activity and resulting earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, began to perish or fall into dysfunctionality one by one, until the world was silenced.

Marohumt who was on the hunt to feed was suddenly left with nothing, absolutely nothing, a circumstance which forced it to go back to sleep, to save its own dwindling forces, forces it had greatly spent in its combat against the Titano Machinae, them finally being put to use in their original purpose.

The Junos had to watch the world they had tried to claim as their own burn down in flames, there was nothing left for them anymore, all the technology, and their potential slaves, had been burned down to ashes.

The world was literally purged from all evil, leaving it as a Clean Slate, Tabula Rasa, as Remus would have called it.

30 years after Yulungur had been found by Thomas Hendrickson and his 12 Students, the world they know had gone down in flames.

Remus Santiago, now well over 50, was the last human alive, wanting to see the end of the World, the world he doomed, due to something as simple as a souvenir for his beloved professor.

He cried, for all that was lost, all that had been and what could have been if only the world they lived in had not been destroyed by Humanities own greed, after crying, finding his resole, he looked once more at what he had found in the last 30 years, friendship with a being from out of their world, information about the history of their world and a reignited passion for the search for knowledge.

Telling himself, that maybe not everything had gone wrong, he stepped outside of the shield, leaving the world and its fate to Yulungur, with a liberating feeling.

After the fires had died down after nearly a month, the continent´s sizes had even doubled, but they also drifted far apart from each other.

Until the moment, as Yulungur initiated, with help of Tartaros, the second project of phase 2.

Project C.O.F.A, the Continent Orientation Float Alignment.

With this command, the newly created Continents were lifted up into the sky, high above a newly created see of highly plasmatic Clouds, by reversing their Gravity to the Planet to a certain degree, enough to send them flying up to the highest point of the Troposphere, just right under the Tropopause,

Next to doing this, Yulungur was also strengthening the magnetism between the Continents, effectively pulling them together to one Super-Continent, as back in the days of Pangea.

Out of the literal ashes of the old world, a new one had arisen, Elysia.

3rd Phase: Project 7 Days and Homecoming:

Operation Re-Genesis and Operation World-Fall.

Of course, pulling the scorched landmasses together was long not the end of it.

A new world had to be built and as such, a new way of living in this almost unbearable condition had to be found.

Nano-matter.

A world built on semi-sentient, programmable Nano-matter.

Similar as the original world is build up out of atoms, these Nanoscopic matter-pieces, will act like a second layer, a second layer over the world and all creation, taking the shape Yulungur wishes.

With this complex technology, Yulungur began to create the world anew, the layout was there, all that was needed was a stimuli for nature to regrow.

A Process which should only last for 7 days until its completion, hence the name Yulungur gave this massive undertaking, being referred by the Human´s understanding of the biblical 7 Days of Creation by God.

The first thing that happened was the Invisible Spherical Shield, a gigantic cluster of light-reflecting Nano-matter, build up to convert the thin air up here to breathable air as well as to trap water and sunlight, effectively creating a living biosphere, which can expand or even separate itself in numerous tinier shields, if required.

Through this Shield, life up here, so close to the uninhabitable Stratosphere, was even possible in the first place.

The next thing that happened was the return of Flora, nature had to regrow on this barren land, the volcanic ashes helped much, but with help of nano technology, what would last ages to be rebuild, was rebuild in barely a week.

Next to grass, trees, edible and poisonous plants, also the aquatic vegetation regrew effectively giving most of the new inland-seas, that rose with the land, a habitable structure.

With this the ground-layer for a new Era was laid, nature regrew fast with help of the sun, who´s UV-intensity had been even more reduced than back on the Planet´s surface, due to the higher altitude of the Land.

The Natural order began to recover, all of the radioactive radiation was filtered and send back down to earth, where the Plasma would keep it.

Due to the War being mostly fought with Titano Machinae, the world was not as radiated as if it had been an all-out Nuclear War, only 10 atomic bombs had been unleashed, although in the standard of the history of humanity this was plenty enough to make great parts of the world unhabitable for a century.

If there weren´t some Titano Machinae who used outer energies to power themselves, or their weaponry, so thanks to them most of the radiation had already been filtered out of the atmosphere again.

This was perhaps the only good thing about the Titano Machine's usage in those dark years.

After the world was cleansed from any harmful radiation, be it remains of the plasma-sea or the radioactivity, and fundamentally rebuild, it was time to recreate the Fauna.

The Kingdom of Animals was to return, but what Animals to set in which Region of this new giant Continent.

Back in the old days the world was divided in special Areas, some colder and wetter, others hotter and dryer than others.

But could this really work if there is only one Continent?

The answer was yes, if the habitat was adjusted to each house a variety of animal-races capable of living there, but they had to adapt to whatever this world would later on throw at them.

They had to be created to be far more resilient, in order to survive any sudden climatic changes, than back on the old earth, after all this was no longer the secure shelter of the planet, but up here in the open sky, with a deadly sea of plasma right underneath, everything could happen, even within a shield to regulate nature.

The Animals had to be able to thrive, better than they could back on earth.

New beings were to be created, nothing like the animals from olden times, beings that were not so easily to extinct due to Humanity.

Beings that had effective ways of fighting back, when being threatened.

Insects that were as tall as houses, moles as durable as stone, birds which could use wind not only to fly but also in order to attack, beings which would have been, in the old world, figments of fiction and imagination, came to live in this new world.

And then…, yes then came the big question…, Humanity, was she worth to be allowed to come back, to perhaps repeat the circle of their own demise.

Was it truly worth to keep them…, Yulungur thought long and hard about it, running thousands of simulations in her calculation but ultimately she had decided, not for the last due to her promise to Remus.

But Yulungur, despite being influenced by her feeling for a Human, was not stupid, instead of instantly spreading humanity again all over Elysia, she started an experimental project.

Creating a space on the land, an enclosed area, for exactly 10 tribes of humans, she gave these Humans 100 years, feeding them the same amount of information as back in the day of the caveman, if they were to build up new civilization and culture without destroying each other due to war and conflict, then she would grant them to leave the boundaries of this area.

However, unfortunately for them they didn´t even lasted for 10 years before a war arose between 4 of the 10 tribes and in its process it erased 2 of them from the face of Elysia.

Of course these tribes were not little, well over 5.000 people lost their lives due to this war.

This was intolerable for Yulungur, after all, she had just restored the world from a collosal war.

The idea was scrapped and the Humans were abandoned, their area was split away from Elysia and send back to Earth, the humans on it were left alive, secure in the shield, for the coming centuries until they would be able to venture far across the sea, building new settlements on the newly created islands, created by falling pieces of the Continents once they had been set afloat.

Despite them being as warmongering as the old humanity, Yulungur did not bring it over her to kill them all off again, so she just let them fare for themselves on the old planet.

What happened to them ever since, only Yulungur knows.

Yulungur was distraught, no matter how many times her next calculations and simulation ran, she would inevitably return back to a warmongering humanity.

The Animals she had created on the other hand rarely had some kind of mass extinction, they fought for territory, they fought to kill and eat, but they never fought out of malice and sheer hatred, the law of nature, was it better applied than the laws of humanity.

Yulungur tried it again, however this time she gave Humans a gimmick, a novelty, something that had never been before.

As she had observed in the previous area back on the planet were most humans, who were accompanied by a pet, whatever it was, generally better humans, at least most of the time, and yes, sometimes they were better friends with their pet than with other humans, but the result was there.

If they had someone to talk, to cuddle and to share their feelings with, they managed to reduce stress which helped them maintaining their life, even if Human and animal could not completely understand each other, a human with a pet dog, who had grown up with the same, was generally a better human as someone who grew up without one.

Same thing applied with a Cat, it was responsibility, loyalty and kindness which made these types of humans different from others.

Yulungur decided to revive a new kind of humans, Humans with the Pet-link ability, the so-called Linkers.

When a Human was born, a pet, matching to their personality, was born as well and the both of them would link their lives together.

Growing up this way allowed the pets, to live as long as their humans did, and in return the owners were able to fully understand the pets, as well as to share their feelings with each other via telepathic link.

If the human and pet were to fall in love with someone, they would form a so-called couple-link and they could all understand each other that way.

Generally, a human-pet-couple would fall in love with the same human-pet duo and only rarely the pet or the human would fall in love with someone completely different.

As both feelings were to take into consideration, that alone sometimes did sparked mild conflict, especially when Human A fell in love with another human, B, while his pet, AP, fell in love with the pet of another human, CP.

Meanwhile that pet, CP, were to in return fall in love with the pet of the humans' love interest, BP, while that Human, C, would fall in love with Human A.

A Lover´s quarrel of unknown consequences was established and inside were the Humans and pets, who might gain contradicting feelings through all of that.

Very seldom this ended in Polygamy, where these three couples would enter a relationship, to satisfy everyone's needs, mostly however, at least one or two loves would never be fulfilled, out of consideration for their partners feelings.

Sometimes also no relationship at all was established, just to avoid having such a chaos happening to an already dynamic duo of Human and Pet.

It was not ideal but due to this novelty, humanity lasted for exactly 1.000 years until the first Large-scale war.

They too had to be separated from Elysia, after their War was nearly causing the extinction of some of the simple Animals.

The second attempt had been a failure as well, but it was a good attempt, a hint into the right direction, an attempt that showed that, if Human and Animal were combined somehow, they would be far less tempted to cause war, especially if they had to be considerate of the feelings of someone else, someone who is not directly themselves but also not completely different from them.

The humans shared the feelings of their Pets, but they did not always had to have the same opinion and that kept most of the conflict in check, as both, humans and Pets, were able to view arising conflicts from each other's viewpoint and point out flaws and shortcomings as well as to sort out any misunderstandings that arose beforehand.

Human, Human and Pet linked together, both of them were not working, conflict was always present, Yulungur knew that, but the intervals between Wars had greatly increased, she knew there was no perfect race, war would eventually come, but if she was able to have her new Generation avoid war for quite a long time, longer than just merely a thousand years, then she came close to a world in peace.

She calculated and came to the conclusion that instead of having humans or Linkers, she would try to create Animals with the intellect of humans for a change, their animalistic instinct would be kept to a certain degree while the human intellect was predominant in them.

Anthropomorphic Animals.

Starting with the most common animals, Cats and Dogs, she managed to find a perfect balance of their biology.

The strength of some Animals, as well as their natural abilities, paired with the abilities, which a grown-up well-trained human was capable of, it created something that never was, but which had been hinted by humanity for a century.

The era of the Beastmen had come.

Having numerous examples of fiction in her data-storage, Yulungur was able to create the first society of such beings.

Capable of understanding the world and being one with Nature far better than Humans could ever be.

Sight, Hearing, Sniffing, their motoric abilities, all of them had been enhanced. That, which humanity always lacked and which they had sometimes envied their pets for, was now within them.

Likewise, all the things animals were never able to do, which in return humans were capable of, was now theirs.

The best of both, Human and Animal, no longer separated but combined in one.

After the first of them proved to be capable of building a society in which both races lived, mostly harmonic, Yulungur called it a success

Conflict between Dogs and Cats was something totally natural and even after a thousand years those never went further than fist fights and large battles of them, armed with sword and shield.

Guns weren´t even invented by them, despite them having discovered black powder.

Seeing her new Creation as a Success, Yulungur began to combine many more animal races with humans, Lions, Wolves, Elephants, Giraffes, Rhinos, Bears etc…

Almost any ancient Animal Race received an Anthropomorphic counterpart.

Before she knew it, the new World was ready for starting off the real Phase 3, after its many setbacks and failures.

Operation Re-Genesis:

The re-establishment of Society, Laws and Cultures

There was something that concerned Yulungur.

As all of those new Races lived each in their habitat, it was bound that they soon would seek for expansion and that maybe conflict might arise and that new War was to come…, and maybe, since most of these Races were rather peaceful, they might be in disadvantage to the more Battle prone and stronger Animal races, Yulungur feared that some of these new Races might ed up Extinct, if wars were to arise.

But she was not able to change that, how could she show them the horrors of war, now that most races had already established their society…

An Arbiter was needed, a being..., or a Race of beings, who possessed the memories of the old world and the two generations before them.

A wise and compassionate, honorable race of beings.

Strong enough to withstand any attempts of other races dethroning them, once they have established their rule, a Race to which the other races would look up to instead, revered them, seek them out for advice, heeding their commands as they know they do it for the benefit of everyone…

That's when she remembered, the horror of her peoples, Marohumt, on this planet he last took the form of a being, most feared but also most revered by the humans.

Dragons…, Dragons were the answer.

A race of Draconic beings, which would govern this world I her stead, having access to the memories of the old world, the horrors of the ancient World Wars, seeing where greed and violence would lead them if they were not careful.

Their rule had to be rightful, they had to have the best interest for all races in mind not only their own.

She now knew, what to do, and after gathering all her informations about all the kinds of Dragons that had ever been invented and created in the history of Mankind, she created the benevolent Race of the Elyan, the governors of Elysia.

Their race was consisting of 6 noble families, all called after her Children, whose role as guides of humans had become obsolete, but who got a new purpose, the Leaders of each of these Noble families, Neptune, Apollon, Mars, Vulcanus, Venus and Nova, became the remote-controlled avatars for Yulungur´s Children, whose real bodies still rested in the deep-sleep, within the Futzu tower, on its highest point, in Mount Futzu, right in the middle of Elysia.

The last two were to be the royal Family, governing the Elyan themselves, to avoid any abuse of Power.

The first High-King Jupiter Fourwing and High-Queen Minerva Luminous, the first royal pair in a row of 10 Families, governing their new world for 10.000 years each, the last being High-King Elias Fourwing and High-Queen Evalis Luminous Stormcatcher.

The world was established, and should be ready for Operation World-Fal…, so you would think, but Yulungur was unsure and rather skeptical of it, knowing that the Humans and the Linkers which she had send down to earth were still alive and thriving, she found it unwise to send the Beastkind back to earth, it might unleash a new war, a War of existence with one or two of the three kinds at stake.

Humans, Linkers and Beastkind, this was a chemistry which surely would not be able to exist and could only blow up in new conflict.

Yulungur decided that now was not the time for Operation World-fall, or CODA, to be initiated…, she wondered thought, would the right time for that ever come?

She decided, by the time that a method to kill Marohumt was found, she would consider of lowering Elysia back to the earth.

When this Event would come to pass, only the stars would know.
