Chapter 2 - Back then at Home

Mysteriously waking up in a new strange planet, that is completely nothing compared to ours, the beings on this planet were called Humans and the name of this planet they call their home is called "Earth", we don't remember how we got here but after staying a while , we choose to make this place our new home. But as time passes by we became what others pray to as gods what they seek to be, what others even kill to be, even though we did not know the answers to this and neither asked for any of it, it just happened and we have no way of preventing our fate.

To understand what we are and why we are here, we have to go back to the very beginning, to where it all started.

PLANET TARREENA: Million light years somewhere in space. 

Deep in space many lightyears from the planet earth, existed a planet called "Tarreena" a planet inhabited by two coloured species, a green alien tribe called the Frawniis and the purple with blue stripes tribe called the Genkiis, this was our birth place, a world were this two different species lives on each half of the planet because mother decided and kept them so.

Mother was the source of life to this planet, before there was a single life mother was there at the centre as the balance to both sides, a mighty huge tree, that stretches far into the sky and her branches spread wide to make shade for her children, the reason the planet survives and is at peace hiden from the vast darkness of space, she can be described as the world tree which has this translucent elegant and majestic feeling to it. No one knows how mother came to be, but she stood at the centre of this planet and then breathe life to both sides.

Mother a mysterious being and her children on two different sides on a single planet, every 9,000 years a baby would be born to either of the two sides and we would all come together under the roots of mother were both sides can only ever meet, to give thanks to mother, cause we have being blessed with a new bhaijamae(brother or sister)and then we celebrate. It takes every 1000 years for Mother to grows a single fruit (we call it the cynara) and another 9,000 years for it to blossom. Depending on what skin colour the baby is when the cynara grows ripe and blossom's, their side of life was already decided on this little golden purple and green glowing planet. But my sister and I were the first of our kind and what mother called her true children, in the billions of years that mother existed she never gave birth to two babies at the same time nor for them to look totally different from the inhabitants of this world, she called us her beautiful Prakash( which means light)

Raised by both side since the law of mother does not affect us, which was, never can a Genkiis step into the land of the Frawniis, cause they will die instantly from the unfavourable condition of the other side of the planet and vice versa. We were raised and taken cared of by both side until we were 10, old enough to live by ourselves the both tribe decided that it was the best choice to live under the roots of mother, as it would seem mothers has decided to make us the rulers of this world and thus mother's roots became our home. 

We grew up being treated as the rulers of this planet at such young age, but at the age we turned 16, mother for the first time appeared to us, when we were about to go sleep under the roots mother as usual. She appeared before us in a form of a shining colourful orb of light, her presence was calm and peaceful as we stared at this orb of light in awe, we were snapped back reality when a voice came out from the orb

"My beautiful Prakash's, you guys are growing well as I had hoped"

were the words that came out from this glowing orb of light. 

"Wh….who are you?" My sister called out with a bit of doubt and a sense of curiosity in her voice

"My dear Freyja, it is me, whom you all call mother"

This was impossible as far we know, for thousands of years no one has ever seen or heard from mother, except for the first elder from the frawniis tribe. Who said mother only spoke to him when he was still young, even then he only heard a voice telling him that she is mother the source of life to this planet and she's the big tree in which it is a sacred ground, then she went on to tell him that he is the first line of a new generation and he will have to lead the rest that comes after him. But after a few thousand years teaching him everything he knows, she spoke to him one last time saying

"I have taught you the basic, from here on you shall carry on on your own" before she disappeared and never spoke a word to him again.

"How…. No why?" I asked confused from the shock of the moment and storys of the elder that played in my mind

Then just like she knew how uncomfortable and nervous we were talking to some orb of light, without knowing if it was real or not, then the orb of light glowed blinding bright and then from the brightness we saw a figure emerged from it, dazzling colours of light in a humanoid form like us, we could instantly tell she was the definition of beautiful. A beautiful colourful glowing figure in front of us saying she is mother, was the best feeling at that time, cause the figure in front of us for the first time in our tiny 16 years old life was someone who looked similar to us and the feelings of loneliness instantly disappeared.

My sister and I looked at each other like we already know what to do, our body moved on their own as we ran towards this beautiful figure and hugged her real tight, like we have been waiting our whole life for this.

"It's seems I've neglected you guys for to long" mother said as she hugged us, her hands rubbing the top of our heads

"I'm sorry my children, I promise I'll make up for the times you were alone"

From that day onward mother appeared to us whenever we were close to her and it happened to be that we were the only ones who can see her. At some certain point in all this, mother started to teach us a lot from art to how our universe works, although others can't see her, we became her mouthpiece. We taught and inform both of the tribes whatever mother permitted us to. We gave orders on behalf of mother, and that helped in growing the civilization of the planet. While all this was happening mother gave us a name, that became our true names. Mother called me Drane and my sister Freyja.

We learnt alot from mother for the first 10,000 years of our life, which is equivalent to 20 years of the humans life's. As usual every 10,000 years a new Tarreenian is born and so was the same for our little brother the last son of planet Tarreena, but we didn't know at the time. And mother called him Telos

Telos was a nice and quiet kid, he wasn't like any normal child he would rather play alone with his imaginary friend and only talks when he was needed to and this made him seem weird, but he was cherished and pampered as the youngest.

Time passed by in a flash and its was already a thousand years, we were already preparing for the coming of our 4th brother or sister, but the cynara this time has not formed yet. We thought it was nothing big, a 100 years passed and then we noticed that mother was no longer appearing before us and there was still no sign of the cynara growing anytime soon, in the thousands of years of the planet's history nothing of sort has ever happened. It was already the time when a cynara for a new baby to to grow but nothing was happening, Freyja my sister got worried saying something is wrong and then decided to check on mother in the way that mother only thought her to contact her in emergencies, while I and Telos stood guard over her a light from her body ascended towards the sky, after a few days gone by, she came back and the moment we saw her, we instinctively knew something was wrong, cause the lively and wholesome Freyja who was known to always have a smile on her face, for the first time looked extremely sad and scared. In a panic I rushed to her, grabbing her by the shoulders with a worried face I asked her

"What's wrong, why the hell do you look like this what's happening with mother?"

Freyja who always smiled and was loved by everyone for her kind nature looked at me with a teary eyes and Said

"Mother is dying"

Mother the life force of our home planet is dying?!
