《Humanity》Chapter 0 - The Beginning of my Story
Advertisement
Since the invention of gunpowder Man no longer has any natural predators. On earth we are at the top of the food chain. We are a race that exceeds its carrying capacity and spreads its influence across every corner of the globe. Humans have conquered every beast and every disaster that was thrown its way. (Except Global Warming of course :-])
However, that dominance lies only within the earth itself. When compared to all other races we are by far the weakest. We just lack that special “thing” that makes us stand out. It’s to be expected of course for we, being born without fangs, claws or the ability to perceive magic, chose to develop our intellect instead.
Despite our best efforts we are not a violent race, we were never created to be one. It is said that God created us in his image. I don’t know if that is true or not but one thing is for sure, God favors us extremely.
Never thought God would play favorites huh? Well without him humanity would be finished. He has protected Mankind since the first chapter in its conception. He established a barrier which prevented other races or aliens, as we call them, from invading and also granted us the ability to develop faster than most races. Now you know why we never saw anything when we looked to the stars. I mean seriously, we have evolved to such a high degree in such a small span of time.
Every teenage boy’s pocket contains a device that can carry out millions of processes per second, a smartphone. Just a few decades ago computers were rare and now they are compacted into the palms of our hands. This kind of evolution would take millions or billions of years for other races. Yet we are the most ungrateful race ever.

We blame him for everything and he just leaves us be. God has accepted the way we are, truly a fine divine being, however he is the only one who believes we are worthy of such respect in the entire universe.
There is a reason Mankind has remained hidden from the eyes in the stars. You know how a mom dotes on and spoils her youngest child. Well it’s similar to that. In Gods eyes humanity is his greatest creation. Too bad his other creations don’t share the same sentiment. Every other race wants its chance in the spotlight and would take any opportunity to exterminate the human race. We, being the youngest race, wouldn’t stand a chance hence the need for God’s barrier.
But there is one event where all of this hate and jealousy can be expended- Colossal Impact. A massive, bloody, free-for-all style tournament that is held every 267 earth years. One representative is chosen from each race and is transported to the tournament grounds to do battle.
Even with God’s disagreement the tournament is still carried out in favor of the other “divine” beings’ decisions. God has helped us as much as he could however the result remains the same- defeat.
Now enough exposition. Hopefully you got the message. However if you are like me and couldn’t bother to pick up on anything from that here is the summary.
Humans= shit compared to everyone else
God= Good guy
Everyone else= Bad Guy
I do hope you continue to read on and picked up on something special at the end of this journal. The reason I put pen to paper was to tell of a journey spanning galaxies. As my end draws near with each passing second I want to narrate a tale to inspire losers to be heroes. A tale of friends and enemies, love and hate, death and birth… This is my story.

Journeys in the Fairworld: The Gatekeeper
Lindsey Fluger was only slightly past eighteen. There was nothing particularly special about her, save that she happened to be the right person at the right time. When Lindsey is asked to join an expedition to another world she makes the mistake of saying yes, plunging herself into a sea of perilous adventure and dark intrigue. Journeys in the Fairworld is a fantasy anthology series set in The Fairworld, a magical realm existing in parallel with our own world which is governed by a group elfin beings known only as “The Good Folk”. These mysterious entities work in secret to keep the peace between the myriad of peoples and nations which dwell in The Fairworld. Complex relationships and bitter rivalries emerge against a backdrop of constrained resources and conflicting values to produce a world of high adventure and tangled mysteries. This novel is technically already completed, and I am currently in the final stages of proofing or editing. As such, there may be a few typos and errors here and there. The final version should be about 130,000 words long, which I will be releasing in stages as I continue editing. I'd love to hear your feedback and comments!
