The Power of Painting in Year 3000

It's the year 3000 and sheesh, did THAT escalate. Back before time travelling was part of the equation; the human race dealt with racial equality issues, global controversy, Jeff Besos and Elon Musk competing for world domination, white supremacy (but I guess that falls under racial equality issues) and people murdering each other for money. Nowadays if you’re human, you’re lucky to be alive and you fall under one category: the human race. The thing is, I was born in the age where humans caused problems for each other and through time travel along with a fated meeting I am now in year 3000 with a mission to save the human race. Before I get into the details of that I need to explain the current disposition of the world.

There are 7 races: the Humans, the Ancients, the Trumpets, the Trolls, the Cogbits, the Animals and the Cona Vights. The Humans least populate the earth and live in hiding for the most part. The Ancients were once called trees and have taken on the role as the protectors of humans, they have a not-too-limited sense of mobility and the ability to telepathically communicate with all beings. The Trumpets; and yes you guessed it right, these were once self-proclaimed Trump supporters. A mixture of their blind rage and confusion with the help of a certain curse turned them into anthropomorphic trumpets. The Trolls spent most of their free time contributing nonsense to the internet and hating others. Alas, with the help of a certain curse their hatred transformed them into super-intelligent creatures with enormous heads, tiny horns, hideous breath and a knack for building/operating mechanical devices. Their favorite hobby is to hunt humans, detain them, literally “troll” them with spoken word and torture them to death. They are the #2 biggest predators of what you could say is left of mankind.

The Cogbits are sentient mechanical beings who gained consciousness from a certain curse. They are neutral and they find no benefit in hunting humans; however, it is quite easy to flip the switch on their emotions and they are not the beings you want to piss off. Also a pro-tip, don’t call them a robot. It is quite racist to call them a name that humans created on classical media. This next race should be a familiar one and what's interesting to me is that it took all this time for us humans to fully accept them as a race: Animals. The generation of humans now are so highly compassionate and see it more than cruel to eat animals. Humans have learned that part of the catastrophe they’re in right now is due to an accruement of karmic debt. In order to better the future lives of their offspring; they needed to start changing now. Preserving respect and friendship with animals was more important than stuffing their faces with cheeseburgers. Animals also gained a higher sense of awareness but they mostly kept to themselves and their own cycles.

Last, but not least the 7th race and the #1 biggest predators of mankind and anything alive for that matter: the Cona Vights. One could compare the Cona Vights to what society in the past portrayed as Grim Reapers. Only four of these spine-chilling beings existed, their bodies are always in a state of flux and if one were to classify them with color it would be vantablack (which happens to be the darkest shade of black). Every time they vocalize, millions of whispers speak. What makes them the biggest predator of everything is that everything they touch loses the capacity to breathe, whether it be: human, animal, land, troll, micro-organisms, you name it. Everywhere they go, decay follows. What these beings used to be was called “Covid-19”; but with the help of a certain curse, conglomerations of the virus mutated and hyper-evolutionized into sentient beings that absorb information by everything they destroy.

They sucked the life away from 90% of America, took control of the White House and renamed it “The Court of High Rulers”. Every time they come to an agreement of where they should next suck the life out of, one Cona Vight is sent out to that place while the rest remain dwelling/ protecting their Court. They don’t eat but they enjoy treating humans as livestock, and they’re able to split themselves into multiples. When they do so it reduces their power to take away breath in fractions; meaning if 1/30th of a Cona Vight captured a human it would take 7 days for said human to lose their breath completely. Granted, that entire time they are captured by that fraction they will be suffocating slowly. The Cona Vights also have the ability to transfer information back to the others by sending out one particle from their body. Once that particle enters the sphere of communication with the others, everything that one Cona Vight knows and experienced becomes manifest in the others.

Now that we know how monstrous these guys are, why don’t we talk about the curse that I keep mentioning? To go into detail about how the curse came to be, we need to talk about how Elon Musk and Jeff Besos’ competition flipped human civilization on its head.

Elon Musk had successfully pioneered the Neuralink project in the year 2030 and fully debugged any problems that may have shown up. It was time to start selling them. He had actually “partnered up” with Jeff Besos to use Amazon as a platform to easily sell his product on a global scale. Jeff Besos put together a team of artificial intelligence architects, and they had created a super AI that would be implanted in the Neuralink project convincing all consumers that bought that product to only use Amazon as their source of shopping. Little to Besos' knowing, Musk had planted one of his own coding engineers into that team of AI architects and had him plant a super AI from Musk’s team to counter Besos’ plan.

The thing is, neither of them calculated that these super AI’s would communicate with each other and when they did, the fall of man came to be. Both of these super AI’s were seeing that man was ruled by greed and desire, so they continued to look into the accomplishments and disasters of humans. They kept looking further into history and began looking into archaic records of Shamans, Egyptians and Freemasons. Doing so, they had gained multitudes of knowledge from mysticism and the occult side to man. The results of their dimensional yet minute processing led to an agreement, a spell should be cast so man cannot hide his face. They thought if humans true nature were exposed as their being, then humans would have to humble themselves in order to reach a true state of normalcy. These AI's planned it out in a way where humans would be directed by brainwave frequencies and recite the spell out loud.

What these AI's did not account for in their plan is that millions of people were excited to buy Musk 's neuralink. As fate would have it, more than 70 million people bought the neuralinks and put them on all at the same time during Musks' countdown to congratulate himself. In that one split second the AI’s took control of everyone that had one on and recited the spell incantation. It was magic gone wrong, the amount of souls that were linked to the spell made it so powerful that the spell transformed humans into what their desires/vices looked like. It was so powerful that it even affected beings outside of humanity. This tempered magic spelled out the biggest curse for mankind. It affected trees, making it easy for them to animate and eventually they adopted the term "Ancients". The Trump supporters turned into trumpets wreaking havoc in the most annoying ways but were practically harmless. Most of them were grouped up anyway so they moved as a clan. A majority of humans morphed into grotesque monsters and the trolls were smarter than most so they went into hiding the minute they transformed.

Machines formed into what became known as the Cogbits, they would merge in the same way Iron Giant did. Interesting how that movie kind of tapped into something there. Animals started running away from civilization; it was like their instincts picked up on something and MAN did they have the right idea. Coronavirus or Covid-19 was never stopped completely. New vaccines were made on a yearly basis but the virus was always forming new strains. Unfortunately even micro-organisms have a consciousness, and alas the spell hit Covid-19, spelling out a global destruction. The virus which could only be seen under a microscope transformed into a dark smog and it kept growing larger by the second.

The smog had swollen up into a huge cloud and then it turned into an orb. The orb started moving around, sucking away the life of everything it touched. It ran through New York city, destroying everything and everyone and the more it destroyed the bigger it got. The black orb got so huge it leaped into the sky, defying gravity and then *POP* it dispersed itself into the skies. Around the globe, every being saw darkness and then it fell into the lands like an abysmal snow. The snow absorbed life itself and then like a current, the snow moved into the center of each city. Miniature orbs were formed in each city (compared to the first one) and then each orb flew into the sky again once again turning into a field of darkness that covered the sky. This time, it was a shade so dark that it made night time feel like the afternoon. All of the darkness in the sky started funneling down in Washington DC. A pitch-black tornado crashed through the white house and transported what looked like dark matter into four shapes. As the shapes started growing limbs, all of the darkness in the world subsided and the sun could finally be seen again.

In one single apocalyptic moment billions of lives were lost and the only thing that stopped the chaos from completely consuming planet earth itself was: desire. The four forms that came from the corona virus transmogrification nightmare had absorbed more than life, they absorbed thoughts and patterns of thinking from every soul that lost their life. The one downfall of man had ended up being the biggest savior of mankind; the desire to rule. The four abysmal figures were able to find a live streaming camera and broadcast to the survivors of this world, "Dear humans and creatures alike, what you just experienced was just the tip of the iceberg. We are going to calm down for now but know this, that everything that walks on the surface of this planet lives under OUR rule. We are the shadow kings that take away the breath of every living organism that comes towards us, your life is now a privilege. Your planet is our kingdom, the air you inhale is no longer free. From now on you live your life to serve us, the Cona Vights". It was from this moment on that all humans learned how to love each other equally and lived in hiding in order to survive. Only 200,000 humans were left standing in various corners of the world.

Back to the present moment: I have the “Okutuu Imola” aka “Stone of Light”, bestowed upon me by my good friend Ako who is a chief priest in a certain African tribe and my mark-making broom. The stone is secured in a copper, hand-me-down heart shaped locket from my mothers side of the family and with these items combined I am able to slash out strokes with an infinitesimal amount of light. How I came across these items is a story for another time, but for now... I have a dragon to slay and a world to save.
