Synopsis

The most eclectic epic ever inspired! "If she feels pain, then I'll make sure you all do..." With the whole globe snowed over, humans are no longer on top of the ladder. Violent crystal/ice aliens, sizes ranging from the average human to towering monsters large enough to squash cities, have forced humanity into various locations of hiding. Giving the opportunity for several members of an evil, 8th century clan of witches to reveal themselves. Each woman using magic that has always coexisted with humanity, to take control of the post-apocalyptic world as Mafia Bosses, Dictators, modern day Conquerors, and other forms of ruling leadership. All in an attempt, not to save humanity, but to prove which of them is the strongest. Meanwhile, in the three years after the initial invasion, humans have begun to not only fight back against the aliens, but some choose to become hosts and acquire unique abilities after slaying one of the bloodthirsty, unconventional extraterrestrials. Shortly before leaving their sanctuary/apocalypse training academy, two old friends, Katsu and Saku, are matched together not only as an academic squad, but the two polar opposites are chosen by the last surviving "Creator of Humanity". Both 'blessed' as the reflecting vessels for their universe's contemporary forces and using their "God abilities" to achieve their own (secretly combative) goals. Accompanying them is Shelly, the last surviving descendant to the greatest 'unknown' Scandinavian sword fighter. After being revealed of her destined lineage, and the otherwise "mythical" history of her highly respected grandmother from the Viking/Valkyrie Age, Shelly is determined to retrieve all of her slain grandmother's stolen weapons from the both physically and magically gifted covenant of aforementioned witches. With overpowered witches now trying to gain control over societies, humans gaining powers from the same alien monters who threaten them, as well as a secretive psychopath pulling the strings of chaos in order to save only himself and Shelly at the end of it all, can the combined righteous human spirit overcome evolutionary adversity, or will it all be shattered? "If you have a beloved purpose you can't live a day without, do you truly have any freedom to live? If you have complete freedom to act however, or say whatever you desire, do you truly have any purpose worth caring about to protect?" ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ [All art is not done by AI but by my good friend Amon-kun] ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ WARNING/DISCLAIMER: This series spotlights coincidental parallels between various religious scriptures, and scientific theories but is in no way discrediting or belittling the beliefs of others whether that be Creationist or Evolutionist. The views, ideas, and conversations between characters aren't in any way meant to change anyone's beliefs. The conscious use of certain psychological elements from theistic ideology and out of context holy verses is only to support this fictional plot and it's characters. As well as aid the reader as to how one could theoreticize or philosophicize the plot. Instead of using various conflicting ideologies to shame or undermine those who believe, the intention is for deeper thinking and uniting those who believe peace and tranquility between humanity is most important above all.

_____________________

Summer night around 12 a.m. in a field of flowers and grass flowing in wind. A pond is in the near background.Crickets, frogs, and cicadas are all heard.

A dragonfly zips by.

Mr. Dragonfly lands onto a cattail in the pond. The plant sways as the bug lands.

Child's Voice: "Purpose to life. Is there such a thing? Does everyone really have a purpose?"

A frog snatches the dragonfly and eats. The frog hops into the water and swims. It's swimming passed fish and underwater plants. The frog passes a school of small fish and a bigger fish is then seen eating the majority.

Child's Voice: "Purpose to life. What if that purpose was for only a second, would you think life is worth it?"

Frog pops his head from the water and an owl snatches the frog. It takes it to a nearby tree and eats.

Child's Voice: "Purpose to life.

Does it always mean sacrifice?

Is it positive?

Does one's purpose effect another's?

Has anybody's death been in vain?"

The owl flies towards its nest and feeds the baby owls its regurgitation. The tree begins to shake. Momma jumps back and begin to flap while the babies helplessly are unable to fly.

Child's Voice: "Purpose to life. Humans seem to be the most confused about that purpose. Some think 'tomorrow' is the purpose. Some of them work their lives away for more and better things, for themselves or their loved ones, some a deity, or… for humanity.

Most animals know their purpose at birth but humans seem to make their own purpose throughout their lives. Sometimes that purpose changes, while the rest stay on the same path."

A man wearing lumber jacket, boots, and jeans, watching the 15 ft tall tree crash down. Birds fly from nearby trees.

As the man starts dragging the tree back home sweat dripping from his face it starts to snow lightly from the cloudless late summer sky. The man looks confused and looks around.

Child's Voice: "But what would happen if humans were forced into a purpose?"

A meteor is shown falling from the sky behind the man. A trail of blue and pink aura is coming from it. The sound of wind and crackling fire is heard.

It falls creating a huge impact. (BOOM) The ground shakes and the man carrying the tree falls.

Unknowing of what happened the man continues home.

Several miles away from an above angle the meteor is in a mile-wide hole and is a few hundred feet into the ground.

Child's Voice: "Forced to fight, forced to live, forced to save humanity."

At a closer view, the meteor begins to slightly crack.

Almost like an egg.

Child's Voice: "Purpose… to life."
