The girl who is like the Dragon
This is what we wanted... Wasn't it?
We created a world of our own invention- no longer did we rely on the earth's resources. We cut open the planet, bursting it open like an overripe fruit and remodeled everything, from the mountains that scraped against the sky and the rivers traveling our land. We knocked down nature to make more space, clearing out the wildlife, kicking them out like strangers overstaying their welcome, or like families who couldn't pay their rent anymore and kicked them to the curb.
With time the seas vanished- and all of the green withered and died. The skies above burned, and the blue became a memory, the sun seeming to come closer every era- a giant eye of red.
But with this destruction came great beauty. Sky scrapers were erected in the mountain's absence, and instead of sparkling rivers we had puddles of gas and other sewage.
And humanity! How we changed. We altered our bodies, played god, remodeled and updated our children, filled them with data- and we did what Eve once did- we ate the fruit of evil off of the Knowledge tree.
But we were not cast out. There was still work to be done.
Humans, if you could still call us that, were sometimes dreary to hang out with. So we created artificial life! Beautiful walking beasts created from metal and technology, perfect beings that were modeled after the updated versions of us.
No need for school. All of the data from our ancestors were uploaded to the spectrum and thus downloadable for every child, near and far. Nevermind they had no idea what a tree was- that was old history, things better left forgotten.
Yes, this is home. Welcome to Technova, Land of dreams.
