The End

The Himalayas, one of the most ancient mountain ranges on earth which stood unchanged through the wears of time even when the whole world changed due to many geological changes, movements in tectonic plates and many other natural phenomena happened on earth. But that changed after that day a decade ago called E-day (day of evolution), named by the researchers and scientists all over the world.

After E-day, many things changed. Earth as a whole evolved, along with it came to the evolution of all the species on it. Humanity fought with everything they had to survive in the new world in the first month but things started going bad when nature also sided with the monsters.

The first disaster started with the snow accumulated over millennia in the Himalayas, as it started melting and created huge floods and avalanches. It resulted in complete destruction of small nations like Bhutan, Nepal, Myanmar as well as half of north India. That alone claimed millions of lives of humanity and followed by that all the mountains started growing saplings of green gradually blanketing them.

Now the whole mountain ranges are completely covered with thick vegetation becoming one of the most scenic and dangerous places on earth. If someone watched this forest from the sky in a bird's-eye view at the moment they would see a large black murky mist covering several square miles in the middle of the forest, if seen closer they will find to their amazement it is not dark mist but violently burning black flames.

I felt relief as I fell back while leaning my crumbling body against a stump behind me watching everything around burning in khaki (ugly pitch black) colored repugnant flames which wants to devour and destroy the origin itself within my sight and felt all my strength, life and my essence being devoured by the same flames. These are the flames birthed from the anguish and deaths of billions of humans died because of this tree. These are the only flames that a normal human can use to destroy a fully-grown Origin Tree, which was supposed to be a guardian of humanity.

What is a guardian you ask? Same as the name implies they are the guardians of this planet, they are strongest among all the living things on Earth but contrary to its title as a guardian Origin tree was never one to consider life to be precious.

I elevated my sight towards the sky to see a gigantic tree whose crown stretches thousands of square miles burning like a torch. But instead of vigorously shining its surroundings, the burning tree even devours the minuscule of light surrounding it as if the flames burning it are not flames but a gigantic black hole. What turns my relief to regret is not my impending doom but the thought about the misery this tree which should have been protecting the humanity has caused, that can be seen by burning intensity of those flames.

Then I flitted my sight in front of me only to be welcomed by gazes filled with unforgivable anger as if I killed one of their family and arrogance as if asking me how dare a petty human who should be worshiping the guardians as their gods/deities kill the later. Yes, you guessed right these are the fellow guardians of earth along with the origin tree. As I saw these naïve and gullible idiots who are played around by the origin tree thinking them (Origin Tree) as their family, the feeling of regret and the thoughts of "what if's" and "what not's" are added with pity.

As one of the strongest humans alive, though very rare I did come in contact with the guardians. But every time I felt like they are 5 years old kids with adult bodies with inflated egos, still they are good to humans (as they are literally guardians) even though misunderstood as people with egoistic noble like temperaments by many of my colleges (strongest of humans, as even they have very few chances of meeting guardians).

Anyway, I did everything I can and took down cancer on this planet which would have exterminated humanity.

As I closed my heavy eyelids to be swallowed into oblivion, an unknown conscious which seemed very weak invaded mine sending information that seemed absurd at first thought. That instant I understood the conscious belongs to origin tree and at the same instant the relief I am feeling evaporated into thin air.

I see. . . . .that's what happened ha??

Even you are crying this whole time and trying to reach out

Now I understand why even though you are a guardian still trying to doom this planet.

Shit!!!!..... This is just the beginning.
