It was early morning, so early that the suns had yet to rise over the horizon and the local wildlife was still quiet.
The insects and animals of the night had just gone to rest and the day's had not yet awoken from theirs.
The quietness was almost deafening and Evian was fully enjoying the quiet from the top of the hill he had found rest on, while he looked to the north watching the green sun creep above the horizon, bathing everything in green shades.
It was an impressive sight to behold and a source to wonder just how advanced and ingenious the ancient humans had been.
The yellow sun that for billions of years had brought light and life to the planet, had been dying and they had replaced it with an artificial sun.
Evian felt the heat from the green sun touch every part of his body and face and he enjoyed it to the fullest.
Enjoyed the heat.
Enjoyed the fascination of human ingenuity and accomplishments.
Enjoyed the peace and quiet!
Just until heat started to spread across his back. He turned his head and looked at the red sun that had risen above the horizon to the south.
It put a dent in his fascination with the ancient humans. Because they had NOT been able to replace the old sun. At least not completely and with only a single sun.
They had, had to make four artificial suns to get the same result in regards to color, warmth and life as the old natural sun had made on its own.
It was almost 100,000 years ago that the old natural sun, which in everyday conversations, and in school, was just call "Sun" had died. It had for thousands of years grown bigger and bigger, and life on earth had been hard as the heat had grown along the sun.
It had been expected that the sun at some point would become so large that it would engulf the earth, but contrary to that belief the sun had disappeared so fast that it seamed as it had happened overnight and had left a void of darkness and bone chilling cold.
That period of time was known as "The Dark Ages volume 2". Which in Evian's opinion was not very creative seeing that the dark ages had happened over 120,000 years ago, and to this day still was something you were taught about in school.
Life today was actually very much like it was believed to have been in the medieval times. Very much so, but not completely.
But human kind had been technological very advanced at the time of the sun's death, so they had initiated the plans to replace the sun. In the beginning the plan had been to use three new suns to replace the old one. One red, one green and one blue. The idea had come from how something called a television worked, a device used tens of thousands of years before the death of the sun, a device used to spread news and to entertain. Or that was at least what Evian had been told.
Unfortunately they hadn't been able to produce the wanted result and therefor a fourth sun had, had to been introduced - a black sun.
Finally the technological scholars - what ever that meant - had been successful in making all the colors of the spectrum along with the warmth and energy that was required for the human race to survive an prosper.
The green sun, which Evian had just been enjoying, came from the north and bathed the land in all the nuances of green.
The red sun came from the south and rose only moments later than the green. It bathe the land in red nuances and created the illusion that everything in sight might be ablaze.
As the next to appear came the blue sun from the east and with its gentle gleam the colors of the world that human presumed to be the real colors started to show.
And lastly from the west the dark black sun crept over the horizon and brought depth and life into the colors, so all of the flowers, trees and wonders of the world didn't look bleak and without substance.
Although they had been successful the price of success had been steep. The resources used to make the suns and to make them orbit earth, had almost depleted earth of its natural deposits. A last effort had sent interstellar, unmanned spaceships out to salvage resources from other places.
The ships had completed their task and returned to earth with plenty of resources, but their journey had been long and taken many years. In the meantime a civil movement against all technology had risen on earth. The movements fears had been that technologies would take over at some point and deem humans obsolete and dangerous to earth.
They had gained so much influence that by the point the spaceships returned they were no humans left on planet earth that could, or would, operate any kind of technology of now long past times.
While Evian had been sitting thinking about all of this and observed the landscape slowly change from greyish colors into a vibrant display of colorful life as more of the suns rose he realized that time was against him. He had to hurry back to the small village at the foot of the hills, back to the small house where he had lived for the past 17 years - no 18 years as of today - together with his family.
