A provocation for no hope is the story of humanity losing control and losing their home. (The prequel to The Luminescent Guardians.)
In a world plagued by greed and a disregard for the delicate balance of nature, there existed a species known only as The humans. This species had an insatiable appetite for power and wealth, they exploited Earth’s natural resources without remorse, leaving behind a trail of destruction and devastation.
Driven by their insatiable desires, the human population ravaged forests, polluted rivers, and stripped the land of its riches, leaving scars that ran deep into the heart of Mother Earth. The air grew thick with pollution, and the once vibrant ecosystems withered away, gasping for breath.
The Humans continued their relentless exploitation, and as the consequences of their actions began to manifest. The climate grew increasingly erratic, with extreme weather events becoming the new norm.
The delicate balance of ecosystems was shattered, leading to the extinction of countless non-human species. Scientists and environmentalists warned of the impending catastrophe, urging humanity to change its ways and look for a better more ecological and sustainable practice.
But their pleas fell on deaf ears, drowned out by the clamor for short-term gains. Ignoring the warnings, the relentless March pressed on, and blinded by their insatiable desire for power, wealth and economic growth.
As planet Earth reached its breaking point, natural disasters of unprecedented magnitude struck with unrelenting fury. Storms ravaged coastlines, wildfires consumed vast landscapes, ice caps melted and sea levels rose, swallowing islands and coastal cities. The once flourishing planet became a barren wasteland, devoid of all life.
The world was in the grip of an irreversible decline, and there seemed to be no hope for the future of the planet. In the face of imminent doom, humanity scrambled to find a solution. With no choice but to leave their dying home behind, they turned their gaze towards the stars. Space exploration and colonizing distant planets became the last hope for the survival of the human species.
Expeditions were launched, and intrepid explorers set out on interstellar journeys in search of habitable planets. Their mission was to find a new home, free from the clutches of destruction.
Years turned into decades and as the search continued. The explorers faced countless challenges, from treacherous cosmic phenomena to hostile extraterrestrial encounters. But their determination remained as they ventured into the unknown, facing the perils of deep space, and hoping to find a refuge for mankind.
And so, this is a cautionary tale and a reminder of the consequences of unchecked greed, power and control. It serves as a warning to the resilience of the human race for change, the future hangs in the balance with the importance of cherishing and protecting the planet.
From the ashes of Earth’s demise, humanity has failed to look after its once abundant resources, and failed to harness the echoes and a need for a renewed purpose. Vowing to be guardians of the new world and ensuring that the mistakes of their past would never be forgotten or practiced again.
All hope is lost! (Maule, 2024)
The Luminescent Guardians.
In the mesmerizing world of Tau Ceti f, star time 4310106.343 and where imagination knows no bounds, there exists a species of remarkable creature known only as the Mooph. These ethereal beings are a rare blend of two astonishing entities: jellyfish and sheep, and they are graceful, elegant, and enchanting with the ability to fly, and are the world's most coveted resource.
In this perplexing world, where traditional resources are scarce and conventional notions of wealth and power hold no value, the Mooph have become the lifeblood of the civilizations that dwell on this exoplanet. With their luminous bodies, reminiscent of centuries old jellyfish that once inhabited the now dormant planet of Earth, they are able to blend seamlessly against the celestial skies. They possess a radiant power that also emits heat that is harnessed from Tau’s Sun, and can illuminate even the darkest corners of existence.
The inhabitants of this Biocentrocene world depend entirely on the Mooph. Their wool provides valuable warmth during the chilling winter nights, and their iridescent glow is the only natural source of radiant energy. This society has learned to coexist in harmony with these extraordinary beings, understanding the fragile balance between their needs and the welfare of the Mooph, and the abundance of resources that they possess. In the central city of Valdanium, live an alien species called the Anouk, they have embraced their duty as the guardians of the Mooph, and hold a genuine love and respect for these enchanting creatures, understanding the imperative role they play in the world's ecosystem. The Anouk’s unyielding determination to protect the Mooph, has lasted for over two millennia even in the face of adversity. The Anouk are the only native inhabitants of Tau Ceti f, they have cared for and nurtured the Mooph and have been able to utilise the precious resources for the good of the planet and all that dwell and call Tau Ceti f home. But as the world's dependence on the Mooph grew, so did the interest and greed from neighbouring planets. A group of nefarious human mercenaries, known as the Dawn Patrol, created by the world power syndicates of the now dormant planet Earth, sought to exploit these ethereal beings for personal gain. With their eyes set on capturing and herding the Mooph, and a plan to sell the commodities to the highest bidder on Tau Ceti e. They created a rift of darkness that threatened to consume the world, endangering the precious ecosystem and the many species.
The Anouk, armed with their unwavering love, embarked on a quest to defeat the Dawn Patrol and protect the beloved creatures, and preserve the world's harmony. The centuries old bond between the Mooph and the Anouk allowed them to communicate, and together they forged an unbreakable alliance in their fight against exploitation.
In a climatic battle within the shadows of a mountain, the Anouk confronted the Dawn Patrol. The sky was ablaze with vibrant hues as the Mooph unleashed their celestial energy, pushing back the darkness that had engulfed their world. With swift and nimble movements, the Anouk fought bravely defending the Mooph, and casting aside the malicious intentions of those who sought to harm and exploit for gain. Finally, with a burst of radiant energy, the Dawn Patrol were driven away and vanquished. Peace was once again restored to the Biocentrocene and the skies once more shimmered with the tranquil glow emitted by the Mooph.
From that day on, the Anouk together with the Mooph, wrote themselves into history and fable, symbols of hope, and guardians of the delicate balance between species and nature that flourished within the Biocentrocene. The galaxy learned the value of cherishing and preserving the planetary resource, for it was through their harmonious coexistence that they found true prosperity and a future of everlasting wonder.
