//------------------------------// // prologue // Story: The horn of Star Tracker // by Jhonn //------------------------------// "Are you sure it is prudent to destroy the portal? What happened was not your fault, you know it very well" - said Newblood, while he and Elián watched the destruction of a huge circular structure, huge rays several meters wide were fired from the warships, gradually destroying the huge structure. "It may not be my fault what happened, but in the end, I provoked it, my lack of judgment provoked that war, one that nobody expected, one very expensive for all, one that I could have avoided if only I had not been naivety "- said Elián "And what do the others think?" "... they do not know, and they will not, on the other side the same" - said Elián, while he saw how the huge structure was fragmented after receiving a particularly powerful shot of a Keyship. Not knowing what to answer for the first time in two thousand years, Newblood only contemplated the scene. "Before I did not understand the reason of the Forerunners of their self-imposed exile, now, I think I understand it, maybe you too, or you did it long ago" - said Elián, with a soft and melancholy voice. Newblood, confused as to where Elián wanted to arrive, no more than a second later, opened his eyes in astonishment at what those words implied. "It's crazy Elian, millennia of his history would be lost, it's too severe punishment, you're committing the same sins as those egomaniacs!" - Newblood replied. Looking at Newblood amazed by the outburst, Elián returned his gaze to the scene and he simply answered. "It's not a punishment, it's an opportunity, you said it yourself, our interference was key in its history, but it was disastrous, a new beginning, a new opportunity to do things well, that's my gift to them, and not all of them go to have an evolutionary regression, his children will be their guides and guardians " Before Newblood could answer, the huge portal exploded with such force that even a few ships that were a thousand kilometers away exploded. "... and what happens with the other side?, Now that there is no magic in that place, they can not communicate with us" - said Newblood. "No, they can not, but thanks to that now there is only one species, now they all have the same physical capacity, at least they will learn that no one is better than others just by being able to see better in the dark, manipulate magic or be more capable in battle, now they are all capable of the same " "That is a decision that does not correspond to us" - answered Newblood with a higher tone. "You know well that magic was what changed their bodies, I did not do anything more than what you did" - answered Elián sharply. Not knowing what to answer, he let Elián continue talking. "That place is no longer capable of generating magic, it is a dry river, but this place is not, when the time comes, both worlds will meet, the water will begin to flow once more" - said Elián, while both they teleported to ecstasy bays. "The process is beginning, they are returning to their most primitive form, we will use the twin planet of Gaia, curiously, it is one of the planets that you fortified, at least you did not name it, we leave that honor to its future inhabitants" - said Elián while walking between the enormous room. When they rescued all those who could from the all wars, at some point they had managed to have all the tribes inhabiting the space cities, the majority survived the most disastrous conflict, leaving 300 thousand souls. 300 thousand souls, 9 tribes, 10 if the hybrids are counted, the initial population will be scarce, they will have organizational problems at the beginning maybe, but they will prevail, that world is an almost exact copy of Gaia. The animals that were also brought on board for the green spaces are contemplated in the change, collecting each plant and animal of the planet in less than two years was an exceptionally difficult task, even Newblood admitted that, without the help of its people, the extraction had taken more than a hundred years. Everything was ready to repopulate the planet, but only one thing was missing. "What will happen to us, what are we going to do?" Asked Newblood, as he watched Elián approach a lookout towards a huge camera. "We will finish this task, they have a lot of potential, and one day, maybe they will do a better job than us Newblood" - said Elián, while watching the huge cryptum, the light that emanated was a pink color, for some reason, it gave the print of a heartbeat. "They will have the horn of hope, with that, nothing will be able to hurt them, I hope it is enough" - said Elián. "and we will finish what started all this when they reach the stars, we will be at home." "... I consider this place my home" - answered Newblood
