Chapter 42: Chapter 42
For the one who has never seen, what is light?
for the one who has never heard what is a symphony?
for the ones who have no heart what is an emotion?
Nothing
But this is where is ended and it will be the exact same place that it has begun.
Beginning of an era of sunlight encased with the death of dawn.
Alistair Alessandro- Beloved husband, a loving father and right beside the shining grave decorated with black marble was a similar stone which had golden words of language engraved, 'Karma Alistair Alessandro'-Beloved wife, a loving mother.
It was nothing special, nothing too majestic about the place that had the coffins buried in its chest but the two stones always appeared as if bound to be together.
They were soulmates, in the world filled with fake love and untrue emotions the couple was a pair of firebirds, the ones that will dance in despair till death if their other half died.
A man of twenty four looked at the graves in no emotion, a flicker of indifference was what his gaze held one second and the very next it was a fire burning brutally. Beside the two headstone made up of marble was an entire arena having similar deathbeds of his entire clan- Alessandros.
Did that patronym even existed now....
Karma and Alistair were the first to die....the rest followed their footsteps to the doors of death.
They were mortal and mortality was what made then peaceful.
But the Muscular stature covered in black, dripping with soft droplets of rain looking at each deathbed in the vicinity was unique.
He was blessed with immortality
His name was forgotten, his identity had changed, entire life came out to be a lie and yet there was no death and he had wandered for eons in search for peace, any single method to kill himself was no longer considered....he had tried all and nothing worked.
There was a time when he had laughed, loved, cried......felt, but now there was nothing but a simple numbness.
But not anymore.
If the world had perished, leaving him the only survivor then today was the day he will make companion, slaves, friends and his people himself.
What he could recall is that seven hundred years have passed and in YEAR 2677 humans have started becoming extinct. It originally started when water became scarce and came to a time that earth no longer spilled droplets of H20 but rather a composition of methane and liquid nitrogen- Sixty million people died.
The ozone layer by then was ripped apart completely and dome like structures were formed above new establishing cities of a glass that could prevent cancerous Uv rays from reaching the earth, some survived but some were eradicated completely. The cost of living in such cities was increased from 1 billion dollar per person to twenty billion dollar, the ones who refused and could not survive were thrown out of the domes burning right infront of the eyes of other people.
By then children were unique and not seen anymore, pregnancy was as rare as 1 in 1 million thus children were kept in labs and fed specialized foods, they usually died from genetic disorders but what remained and came out as adult could not be called a human. They were pure dolls, living and walking toys that had no feelings- some were born without heart......literally.
Slowly but steadily humans became worse than animals.
Animals stopped existing much before.
Zoos were now made to keep people of different race in exhibits, the once great wealth was useless and futile....and food, capsules became food.
Nothing existed anymore.
But outside the world that was dying and the earth that was defiled he lived in a cave, his body had no effects from methane rain or burning sun because titanium thrummed in his veins and the last metal to be found- Exorium was embedded in a complex system as an artificial brain.
With body cold as ice, he was half human, half robot.
He was a Cyborg
He remembered they gave him a name
Nixon
But he was not that person anymore
Now he will be called-Emperor Axiom
