The Two Worlds.

Nowadays people live in a materialistic world where the power rules. Thinkers, artists and inventors are nothing if their arguments and achievements are not supported by institutions. Knowledge is used to increase power making people depend on a corrupted system; a system that encourage people to always get more and more. Humans forgot the real meaning of living as a part of the planet.

However it was different in the old times. Humans were happy, they felt satisfied and they knew how to live peacefully. That was when humans were part the Fairy Agreement; an agreement made by magical creatures as a way to protect their treasures from the exiled creatures. Those who tried to steal the magic treasures of the Planet were exiled and sent to live in the inhabited places of the world. Humans played a very important role on the agreement. They had to make sure that the exiled beings would never get close to the underground where all the magical creatures lived and most important where they kept their biggest treasure "the soul of sky" This community of magical beings created a secret place in the center of the planet where they keep the soul of sky safe. It was a small rock that contained energy capable of making anyone feels so powerful and full of all the feelings. Only magical creatures were able to be reached by this energy not humans; Humans were such a young civilization that would not be able to control this energy. Humans had a long way to go before they were ready for that incredible energy that would take human civilization to the next level. It didn’t stop humans from being loyal to the agreement but they always wonder what kind of magic they would obtain after touching the "soul of sky". “We will fly” said a human, “We will read minds” said another but some other humans were greedy and wish to get a power than put humans on top of all the magical beings.

The exiled beings were mostly elves; it was because of the darkness in their personalities that made them try to use the soul of sky in negative proposes. They wanted to conquer the world and rule every being on it. Humans had to watch over them all the time; the exiles were prisoners of the desert and the sea. They always tried to trick humans by appearing as hallucinations in the sand of the desert or as sirens sitting in rocks in the middle of the oceans. The exiles only needed to be welcome by humans to get on in their transportation tools, that was the only way to be free but humans were humble and they never got tricked by the exiles. These bad creatures reacted so angrily that they caused big sand storms and hurricanes.

Everything was fine until the day Tom; an easy going human did the biggest mistake in the human existence.

“Where are you going?” asked John, Tom’s brother. “I need to prove some thoughts I had some days ago” said tom as he left the house. John and Tom were the leaders of their town and therefore they had access to see the exiled creatures face to face. “Hi Tom” a really disturbing voice spoke from behind a big rock in the desert. It was mid night and it was a dark night. The silent conquer the place after that voice. “Come out, let me see you” said Tom with a really nervous tone in his voice. “I need to ask you why you were exiled. I heard you know how to seal the power of the soul of sky to your body that way you would live forever and at the same time you would obtain all the possible powers on Earth.” “Yes that true” said a big elf while he was getting close to Tom until the point that the torch on Tom’s hand started to illuminate his face. Tom got really scared when he saw the true form of the elf. “Tell me how to do that? I want to get those powers but those magic creatures won’t allow me because I am a simple human.” Anger was showed on his tone. “Free me and you will get those powers once I get the soul of sky on my hands, show me the road back to the underground and you will live forever. John invited him to go with him and showed him the way to enter back to the underground. The elf stole the soul of the sky and took all the magic of the rock. All the magic beings in the agreement came to try to stop him but he was too strong. Their last change was to give up their power; make a ritual and send all the magic to the sky, to the stars. Finally they did it and the elf as all the creatures lost their magic and Tom was punished, he became the protector of hell which was the jail for the elf but that was not all; before the magical being left the planet they punish all humans by giving dreams and nightmares to them; Dreams to show them that somewhere in the space there was a better place to go once they learned how to live a balanced life between materialistic and spiritual identity and nightmares so they could remember that their selfishness caused it.

People had forgotten about their past and they stopped trying to get that balance to be able to evolve but somehow in their unconscious humans feel nostalgia when they stare at the stars. Since then humans keep wishing to reach stars.
