about the story: A whole different world

I know this may sound rather strange for the ones who had read the story of the little kid. First of all, this world is a marvellous world, typical of Fantasy. However, do not think this is a world that has no relation at all with the world as we know it today, since the human history is related in some way to this world I created. To make it more clear, think that in a point in the future something happened which almost caused the human race to disappear. The cause of this global phenomenon was due to the earth's response to protect itself from us. In simpler words, the earth got tired of the overexploitation of the natural resources that it decided to do something about humans. However, in this world, the earth did not use hurricanes such as Katrina, Wilma and other natural disasters to defend iteself from us. Instead the earth used the creatures that were in control of this earth before humans appeared from nothing in this world. These creatures were known as the earth conjurers. These creatures did not have emotions, they were like robots as if they were programmed to maintain the land fertile, in other words, their only purpose in life was to protect the land. They took care of the trees, the grass, the plants, the seas, the rivers, the mountains and all the places that exist so that everything could remain safe and sound in that world of absolute peace. Yet, when humans appeared, all of this changed drastically.

After humans appeared, humans immediately feared these creatures due to the fact that they thought they were demons sent by god. All men and women thought they had to get rid of these creatures, so they immediately started killing them with no reason. At the same time, humans began to exploit the land and due to this fear of these so called 'monsters', they destroyed everything the earth conjurers had worked for. These creatures were so very connected to the Earth as it is a kid to his mother and father, that they started feeling, but something that they should not have known: hatred. Due to being in contact with humans, conjurers began to feel all the negative aspects of the human race as they were never exposed to the good ones. Hatred, fear, despair; each negative emotion that usually drives humans to commit the most horrible actions that any creature in this earth can imagine; were the only emotions that these creatures felt. As the humans continued their massacre, the conjurers finally decided to strike back against all what humans did to them. By using a very powerful weapon that humans did not have the capacity to use, the conjurers took control of the situation by killing every single human they encountered.

Many doubts arouse in the human's mind as apparently, all the creatures they killed before seemed to return from hell to take their revenge against humans, but as humans evolved, they realized that these was so as the conjurers did not die by conventional means as humans did. The first difference with humans is that their bodies were not made of flesh as humans did, but of pure solid soil. Second, they were not affected by any disease known in the human race. Because of that, they could live over a period of almost four or five centuries. Third, they did not use reason to move, for they had no logic to stand on. They only acted by instinct, just as a wild beast would do, yet this was the way humans thought they acted, since they did acquire reason with the time, but only the stronger ones who have been born in certain privileged territories were able to master it, while the others could assimilate it only to a certain extent since it was beyond their means to understand. In addition, conjurers could use 'magic', a very strange power in which they could invoke the power of nature, the power of their fellows and also the power of the Spirits and even, the power of the Gods (it is fantasy, so please assume it). This ability was quite investigated by the world of humans, until they realized that they could make use of it as they grew wiser. Unfortunately for them, their bodies had a limit as some magic enchantements were beyond their physical and mental power.

Finally, and most importantly, conjurers had the ability to come back from death, yet not in the way humans would expect in those times. Conjurers could revive, since every time they were killed or they have lived for too long, they were absorbed by the ground in order to restructure the composition of their bodies. After months or years of being underground the conjurers returned to life just as if they were a baby, since they could live for another five centuries easily. They repeated the process time after time. Nevertheless, even though conjurers could not die by conventional means, they could be stain by using specific techniques. They were severely affected by ice and fire. In places of cold temperatures, all conjurers froze more quickly than a human being would do,. Freezing made them unable to return to the ground, so they would remain in that state if everything did not release them nor antything. In the case of fire, if a conjurer was burnt and turned into ashes, the remains of that conjurer could not return to earth either.

For the sake of the this world, as the years have passed, human beings have realized that they need conjurers to survive in that world as without them, the land would not be fertile enough to grow any type of food they need. Any time that the conjurers are killed and return to the ground, they make the land fertile enough to allow many trees or plants to grow. In some way, this gave the humans some benefits to consider, so they created a law that penalized killing any conjurer by using fire or ice. This provoked great concern among certain people who could not accept this for they wanted to get rid of these creatures, but they were blind to the fact that without the conjurers they could not survive; so, it was better to be in danger at those times. The problem of this law caused the men and women to split into two groups: the wizards' association and the monks. The wizards, in one hand were the ones who considered necesary to respect that law and never take any kind of discrimination for they only wanted to send conjurers to sleep. On the other hand, the monks considered necessary to exterminate all those beasts by all means. Nevertheless, despite their differences, they both fought the conjurers whenever they attacked.

For the following years, humans and conjurers have been fighting continuously for the supremacy of the earth causing only more hatred between themselves and obviously, more unnecessary death. In the present, humans have taken the advantage in this war, but their war was certainly far from over.
