Pahl Tonn was like a father to Delmar as he took care of him after finding him near the garbage area. Delmar could remember that day very well, he was a young child cast away to be forgotten, a child like many others left for dead. His parents got rid of him a long time ago, it was a miracle that when he was found he was still breathing and moving. He was so skinny his bones poked from underneath his skin seeking attention, he was so weak that he only moved when he was hungry. Pahl found Delmar and pitied the little forsaken boy and took him in. Delmar was so grateful growing up that he dedicated his life to Pahl in hopes that he could repay his thanks. Pahl told him that there was no need for him to repay anything and that he loved and cared for him simply because he wanted to, but Delmar was adamant and remained by Pahl to help him in anyway possible. They were very close and that's why Delmar was willing to sacrifice anything for his teacher.
After Delmar swallowed the seed that marked his end of days. Pahl died happily with the thought that he protected Delmar like a father protecting his son and that AS 49 was protecting Delmar and that he would hopefully create a happy life somewhere, while on the opposite side Delmar died feeling regret that Pahl died in vain protecting and the he couldn't even repay back the love and life he gave. When the small seed looking object crawled from Delmar's throat and back into the small tab space the robot's eyes flashed, but it remained motionless. Delmar's body remained where it was rotting as time flew buy and thus time continued.
After years as the human race strived for the betterment of themselves, they developed something that would change their lives forever. The development of the human race continued as they adapted better with the life of surviving from the creatures, life was never to how it was before the war but they were still surviving, their safe areas expanded and could be called cities again that were constantly monitored by people who had the Robotic ability. Their cities didn't have massive or expensive looking buildings, but to those of the present time it was awe. The cities had shelters and roofs and that was enough for many. The most important jobs was becoming a Soldier, part of the Barricade Unit, Scouts, Traders, or the Disposal unit, and Farmers who were slowly becoming recognizable. Everyone who was alive and living in the city had a role, there were no space for free lancers. If one did not have a role it was best they acquired one immediately, as if they were caught they would be sent away. It did not matter how simple the job would be or how disgusted it was, one needed to have a role.
They use those who possessed the Robotic ability to become Soldiers and no wasn't an option. They were train with whatever knowledge they possessed to use their abilities to the fullest, they were slowly taking back what they lost at a very slow pace, but they were sure that one day they would conquer everything again and reign as the supreme race.
Twenty-four years after Pahl Tonn's death the world was doing their usual tasks, people were in the farms, being watchmen some were on missions, treating the wounded, children were laughing in the fields having fun with one another and then everyone's head rose to the sky. Shadows danced above them as they wondered if they were under attack before looking up. Loud rumbling and heavy clanking sounds, could be heard and some felt the earth trembling beneath their feet's and felt a vibrating sensation, the weight of the sounds pushed pressure that could be easily felt by many. As everyone looked to the sky they saw the gathering of materials above them, materials were forming with pieces of the earth that was levitating forming together in the sky as it kept ascending and expanding in size. The sight left everyone frozen as the tools they had in their hands slipped out falling to the ground. No one knew what to do as they could only watched dumbstruck at whatever they were seeing before them, soon the materials ascended to the sky and was moving to the clouds and then they heard an announcement on the emergency broadcast.
"There's no need to be frighten citizens, what you see is not a threat, but a bright future for us all. This was a secret project that all the Area leaders have been working on for almost thirty years. The thing you see above you is the creation of our new home. This project was first brought to us by Connel Ahrow, the father, creator and inventor of Skyland" the voice of a man said speaking calmly with reassurance and praise and continued his speech giving a few words on Connel Ahrow.
"We are not deceiving you or using you as the lands in the sky belongs to no one and can be claimed by anyone. The only thing that you need to do is to reach up there and carve your name, there are no rules. This is now a race and a chance for us all. As I say this I'll be signing off, let the race begin" the voice said with encouragement and motivation before everything went silent, but his words were full of lies. He had placed an apple into the opening for the hungry, but he watches from the shadows as that apple had been poisoned a long time ago. After the man spoke everyone was still left in confusion and remained standing and then they slowly started talking as the noise arose.
"Wait, did he say we'll live in the sky?" a man asked himself out loud while looking up.
"Does this mean a better life?" A woman questioned resting her hands on her hips
"This is ...this isn't real right?" a young man asked finding little to no sense with the situation.
"This is bullcrap!" a man exclaimed as he threw the hoe he was holding aside.
"So we just need to get up there and we could be king or something?" a little girl asked in a low voice amongst her friends with a finger on her cheek.
"Something isn't adding up" a man questioned silently muttering to himself, the situation made no sense to him.
No one was sure what to do as they stood talking and questioning the matter, chattering could be heard everywhere as they tried to make sense of the situation, but as they were engrossed in their discussions they started to glimpse things passing their eye and when they finally took the time to looked in the direction they saw multiple people flying upwards. It seems that as many were talking having doubts, there were many who believed and wanted a chance at claiming the throne. They forgot they were trying to understand the situation as the abundant their concerns giving into their curiosity and desire. Soon the situation was breaking out into a riot, into a war, they started finding ways to keep others from flying or they started fighting in air, they all turned against each other and was ready to shed blood of those they were being friends with before. People knowing that they simply needed to get to the land in the sky first to become a great lord, a ruler or possibly a king was ready to do anything. As if fighting the creatures wasn't hard enough they started fighting amongst their own race, their own kind for nothing but power and status. As the outside had turned into a party of chaos a man just watched through his window smiling, seeming very pleased with the situation.
All the lands that were generating in the sky already had their rulers, but they told the public it was a race and they had a chance to become great, but all those words were just for entertainment, it was like some sort of purging. There were fifteen lands being generated in the sky which meant fifteen leaders. The fight continued as blood was shed pattering from the sky like rain droplets watering whatever was below. After about two days of constant fighting the leaders of Skyland came forth and the leaders were Romaine Alter, David Paterson, Daniel Fleroid, Tyrece Green, Jayden Nine, Byen Woods, Estor Iron, Berry Cline, Pieron Tower, Connel Ahrow, Clart Pane, Clador Balton and three others, but they were over throne and now Vasz Grey, Zalder Benz and Marie-ann May took the position. Marie-ann May the only female who conquered one of the Skylands. The other twelve leaders weren't happy knowing that the others didn't make it since there was now a rift in there future plans, but there wasn't much they could do about it now, but to only turn a blind eye of the outcome for the time being and that marked the rise and ruler ship of Skyland.
The development of Skyland took years to be fully created, but everyone went along with the idea as they created buildings that were suitable for human living and comfort. The rank they had when they were living on the surface below was used as placement on Skyland and the separation of status still lingered. Getting to Skyland after the great chaos wasn't easy as it soon cost money and the ones who were above were lucky than most. Skyland had its rulers that were Kings, Queens and Presidents. All the leaders had a similar way of ruling with minor differences, all except one, Marie-ann May the only female leader who's way of ruling was greatly different from the others. She proclaimed herself as Queen and her way of ruler ship was the only one of its kind.
Marie- ann was a woman in her mid-thirties, she lived in one of the cities below, but her role was awfully different. She was used and women in her city main use was to bear children and look after men needs. She was beautiful and was claimed by a man who did anything of her to pleasure himself, she hated the way how woman were treated and they were seen as nothing but breeders and men's comfort. When she heard the broadcast she knew she had to take advantage of the opportunity and change the tides for all women, she could now make a change. When she reached Skyland during the Chaos she found the man who was to be the leader of that land. He was so mesmerized by her beauty, her curvy body and the way she walked slowly captivating him with the light sways of her hips that he lost focus. She got close the him as he wrapped his arms around her, she peered at him with her soft innocent gaze and then murdered him on spot when he became vulnerable and claimed the spot as ruler. Any men who came her way was killed if they disagreed with her and any woman she met she would give them the vision of her plan and so she slowly created allies. Marie- ann always felt sorry for the women around her and how they were treated, she always wanted to fight back, but she knew there was nothing she could do, she loathed all men, except one. She had a brother named Ezra Hale who was kind and patient with her, he never forces her to do anything and always puts her first. She always felt like a princess when he was around, he always hopes the best for her and never asked for anything in return. Even though he was stronger he never made her feel weak or lesser than him. As she got older and her body matured many soon had their fangs bearing at her, Ezra did his best to protect her, but against the rich he was nothing. No amount of money could make Ezra hand his sister over to the vipers of men and so he was killed and Marie-ann was taken forcefully and then flawed. Ezra Hale was the only man she ever loved and trusted, he was a true man, he was exactly how a man should be. Marie-ann May's goal was to create a world were woman reigned supreme and had the opportunity to say no and had dominance over men, a world where men did everything women said and was placed beneath them in everything.
Years passed and so did centuries and the development of Skyland exceeded exponentially. The places that were once overrun by humans was nearly abundant and only people who couldn't afford to Skyland were left behind and those who didn't want to go. Skyland was a bright and beautiful place. It had massive buildings and vehicles that hovered around the city, Skyland was kept afloat by the Cores that were extracted from the Creatures and was constantly monitored to defend against the Monsters, to everyone who lived above called life peace, describing it as heavenly as it felt safer and life wasn't full of labor. Skyland could now be called a son of the cities before the war. The one's below were still suffering and even more when Skyland was created, their only dream was to live above everything like everyone else.
