Man have always longed for space. Its vastness both scares us and fills us with hope. The hope that we are not alone, that somewhere out there is another set of eyes gazing up at the starry sky, wondering the same things.
Year 2098, the human race colonized another planet, Mars, for the first time. They had already colonized the moon but to colonize another planet... the human race was bewildered.
Those living on Mars still called themselves humans and were proud to be the first ones.
The human race started to focus on space travelling. Earth was already doomed, drying out, dying, so the only hope for the humans were to fare deeper into space.
Giant ships containing millions of humans set off. The colonies on Mars were already overpopulated. Some stayed behind on earth, determined to fix what they had destroyed. They all failed and disappeared. The colonies of Mars soon followed after the demise of Earth, they could not sustain themselves without it. Soon the ones on those ships were the only ones left.
Decades passed. Finally the last one born on Earth died, now no one remembered the once green, living planet. Only the memory of a dead mass of rock remained. But humanity still saw Earth as its home.
The original ones had thought that the search for another place to call home would go fast. Some years in space, then start living on another planet again. That was not the case. Decades turned into centuries, centuries turned into millennials. Nothing. Nothing besides the emptiness of space.
The space faring humanity soon forgot about Earth. The ships they were on was their new home. They started to call themselves the Federation of Humanity United, and they consisted of hundreds of ships with the last of humanity. The strongest and smartest of the remains of humanity was the leaders.
But they never forgot about the old dream of a new place to call home. So they continued to search.
Finally they found it. A planet, similar to Earth. It was surrounded by eight moons. The Federation was overjoyed. Finally! Their long search finally bore fruit.
The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.
They decided to call the moons and the planet for Yggdrasil, and the planet itself for Asgard, after the land of gods in Norse mythology. The moons were all named after the other worlds that Yggdrasil connected.
Humanity grew, becoming mightier than ever. They had learned from their past mistakes and took care of their new planet, like a mother taking care of a child.
Technology evolved, diseases disappeared and the lives of humans became longer. Everything was perfect.
But humanity wanted more. Once again they travelled space, this time to expand their power. What they found was... Something else.
It was life. The thing that humans thousands of years before had dreamed about.
The first encounter was... devastating. Because of failure to communicate they attacked each other. Humanity called this "the First Clash".
The Federation was in war with this alien species, called the Letverrus. The war waged on for years before they finally entered a peace treaty.
The Letverrus and the Federation exchanged youths that were to learn from the other species. It was a succés. The both nations entered an allians. Together they explored the universe.
Along the way they encountered multiple new worlds and with them, new species. They discovered that inside everything living there was a kind of energy that if trained correctly one can use to do amazing things. They called this energy ether.
The allians grew. There was peace.
But within this peace was injustice. Crime raged on behind the scenes. Murders, corruption, slavery, piracy. The Alliance created the Counter Force to protect the people.
And it's here the story begins. The story of the one that shall change the galaxy. The one that shall rise from nothing and have everything.
This is the story of Glisa and the people around her and how they changed everything. Forever.
