The coastal village of Summershore was a peaceful seaside retreat. As the sun sank below the horizon, Carly, a curious child, returned home with bubbling joy, she had arrived from school where her mother had picked her up. Her eyes sparkled as she shared with her mother how fun that day of school had been.
"Like the boy had his cell phone hidden in the room and the teacher hadn't noticed, until he accidentally left the sound really loud, everyone started laughing and he lost his cell phone for the rest of the class"
"Your teacher did it right, as I always taught you, school is a place to learn, but since you mentioned the subject, we're home, here's your cell phone, dear", the mother calmly handed it to her daughter, who in a few seconds I was already putting up a video to watch.
"As the discovery of this new particle could change the world, elementals are revolutionary, come with me and I'll teach you how to make money...." When the ad was skipped, the mother had a worried look on her face and Carly noticed.
"Is something wrong mom?" The mother quickly composed herself "No daughter, I was just wondering how this new particle works."
"I saw it in a video and it looks like magic, like they created water out of nothing, it was impressive, with that you can help everyone in the world" after this excited response she turns her attention to the video.
"Carly, dinner is ready" as she went downstairs she saw her father arriving from work, when he saw his daughter he immediately showed a happy face. He also sees his wife who gives him a welcome kiss.
"Ew, why do you guys always have to do that?" She said this, rolling her face "One day you'll understand, for now let's eat" quickly sitting down at the table Carly states "I'm going to eat as quickly as possible while I was in the middle of my game, mom".
With the food on their plates, Carly quickly devours her food while her father and mother don't even touch them. "This new particle being discussed is giving people something to talk about, people at my work couldn't stop talking about it, I saw some saying they were even using it in the military, what do you think Emma" with a brief pause she replies "I don't know Alex, all that It's so worrying, you know, it's been 5 years since this was discovered, but there are so many new discoveries that keep calling it new, this could help us a lot, but since it was discovered there's been this tension I just hope that... "
"I'm done, I'm going to my room" shouts Carly, already getting ready to run to her room, when she puts the dishes in the sink and gets ready to run.
The ground began to shake violently "There was no warning of an earthquake, what are the authorities doing", says Alex as he goes towards his daughter. The air was strange, they could see electricity crackling in it every now and then. Suddenly, the ground begins to rise, Carly's father picks her up as she tries to balance herself "Emma, you're okay", but with no time for answers, sharp spikes cut through the air violently, at an impressive speed. Carly's parents were hit with stone stakes that looked like spears, their bodies pierced in an instant.
When he looked at the mother, she was lying down, it had hit her stomach, father and daughter watched as she just tried to raise her hand to them, until her arm feel lifeless.
The father, with no time to think, tries to remain firm, hugging his daughter tightly so that her gaze is diverted, he tries to move his punctured leg, but the tremors and elevations in the house appear again, without time to think he says "Carly I'm going to lift you to the fan, hold on tight I know you can do it" he lifts her as high as possible, she manages to hang on and hears "Run away, Carly", after which sounds of drilling and breaking bones were heard.
The entire village seemed to be contorting and transforming, as if the land itself was rebelling against its inhabitants. Screams echoed through the streets, but were soon suffocated by a terrifying silence, which was only broken by the girl's sobs.
Carly, in shock, watched in horror as all those stakes around her disappeared, her parents' bodies fell to the ground, it was as if they had never existed.
"Why did this happen?" the tears were flowing but when he thought it was over suddenly his breath was taken away. She struggled to breathe, but the air felt like it had been stolen from the world. He struggled in despair until he lost consciousness.
When Carly woke up, she saw that her house was on fire, desperate she ran to the door that led to the entrance hall, but as soon as she pulled it, flames were thrown towards her, it wasn't long before her body was being consumed by the fire. fire. She screamed in agony, her voice joining the chorus of pain and despair. Fire danced around him, devouring everything in its path in an inexplicable frenzy.
Then, as if in a nightmare, the fire disappeared as quickly as it appeared, leaving behind only ashes and ruins. A tidal wave extinguished the last remnants of the fire, and the village that was once home to many was now just a distant memory.
The group that did this sent a detailed video of how it happened, but never identified themselves, this attack became known as the Silent Massacre, after seeing that elementals could easily be used for war the world entered an abyss of distrust and fear. And after 5 years in 2035, the Third World War started.
Fifteen years of war have left indelible scars on humanity, with more than a billion lives claimed by the conflict. However, the real nightmare was yet to come.
As if it were a terrible punishment for the abuse of the essence of the planet itself, the Earth changed suddenly and in a devastating way. Without explanation, the continents began to move, converging to form a new Pangea. An unprecedented cataclysm claimed the lives of more than six billion people in just two years, as if the world cried out for unity, for joint survival.
Surprisingly, life still thrived on the transformed face of the planet. Two monumental rivers flowed from the heart of the new Pangea, they were parallel in the shape of an . Only a desert remained, silent witness to nature's fury.
These two rivers were named, as Rio Amazonas and Astraea, symbolizing the new direction of humanity.
Elementals, once tiny as an atom, were now visible to the naked eye, manifesting themselves in bright, resplendent streams that flowed across the new earth. Nature's rapid recovery is believed to have been triggered by this mysterious phenomenon.
The few survivors, half a million souls worn down by the tragedy, understood the lesson that Earth had taught them. They would not dare defy nature again, nor would they engage in conflicts that could destroy the world. Fear caused a new era of cooperation and respect to emerge.
With this new awareness, humans began to rebuild civilization, this time trying to maintain harmony with nature. Instead of expanding horizontally and deforesting vast tracts of land, cities flourished vertically and underground, integrated with the meandering streams and lush forests.
Over the years, spectacular cities have emerged, intertwining with the natural landscape in ways never before imagined. Humans have learned to coexist with the world around them, embracing a new kind of power - no longer power over nature, but the power to live in harmony with it.
And so, humanity was reborn from the ashes of destruction, not as masters of the Earth, but as its humble guardians and companions on the journey.
After centuries of transformations and adaptations, the world's living beings have fundamentally changed their ways of existing. A new organ was born in most of the remaining animals, known as the Mana Core. This organ allowed both people and animals to absorb and utilize elementals, unleashing a new era of power and potential.
With the ability to acquire superpowers, the focus of military power was redirected toward humans, whose ability to manipulate elementals became a crucial strategic advantage. However, despite the rise of humanity, a delicate balance was maintained between all forms of life, especially in the face of the increasing danger posed by animals, now endowed with superhuman powers.
Although humanity has faced imminent threats of extinction in the past, unity and resilience have prevailed. The earth transformed into a great Pangea, a testament to the survivors' ability to adapt and thrive in the face of adversity.
As the bell echoes, interrupting the class, a subtle reminder of everyday life in this new world, the teacher reflects on the tumultuous past while encouraging his students for the uncertain future.
"That was today's class, students," the teacher declares, his voice resonating in the air. "I wanted to talk about this because some of you might not come back since you have the test tomorrow. Since I'm not going with you, good luck. I hope one of you manages to become a wizard."
