All sentient life is connected. The appendages may be different, we may eat different things, and live in different solar systems, but at the end of the day, we’re all one big family.
It’s time to explore the branches of the universal family tree, and today, we present:
140
– Issue 5 – The Larger Aliarum
The 7 Earth delegates know the future. Or they know what to expect from the future and they are are afraid of what is to come.
Par-Cell 77 had predicted the rise of two sentient civilizations from opposite corners of the universe, one vastly older than the other, that would eventually mingle to disastrous effect. The result of their interaction would be the race of beings eventually known as Dru-Earthlings who could have the potential for universal genocide. Par-Cell warns in her writings that the Dru-Earthlings would be tools of Earthling masters who would try to subjugate the civilizations of the universe with the goal of eradicating species and civilizations deemed unfit or deleterious to their environment.
Par-Cell had named three occurrences that signaled the coming of the Earthlings who would kill millions in the universe and would inadvertently give rise to the Ascendant, who form as a civilization of many refugee worlds razed by the Earthlings who evolved into the Ascendant and pooled their knowledge together to outlast the Dru-Earthlings at the end of time.
Firstly, Par-Cell warned that Earthlings and Druintes, the beings of two worlds separated by the universe, would unite and discover the common ancestry of all sentient life in the universe and this would fuel the Earthling desire to identify and exalt species of the universe with a shared ancestry; the genocide of those deemed inferior was an unforseen, but not unexpected consequence of this identification given the history of humans on their planet. This work would eventually give rise to Dru-Earthlings.
Secondly, Par-Cell predicted that there would be a True Resurrection of a being from death to life on a planet that would be called Earth and this would disturb all of the realms of matters, regardless of whether this being is killed and it’s soul is returned to its final resting place.
Thirdly, Par-Cell said that Earthlings would be welcomed onto the universal stage, accepted into universal government, and when this happens, it will signal that the Earthlings are enacting a plan for universal domination.
Par-Cell knew that the planet Earth was important to the creation of the Ascendant and so did the 140 who would spectate the events as they happened, fully aware that they are watching the foundations of their existence take hold. But what the 140 did not know, that Par-Cell had counted on, was that the Alia, the being powered by the Aje in the light realm, would do something that would ensure that Par-Cell’s plan was a success and the Ascendant that had traveled back from the relative end of existence to the relative beginning, only to remain in the Quinspace until the present day, would disappear from the past. The Ascendant will disappear from the past, from the Quinspace of the present, because the Alia gained access to her aeonic memory in a way that she had never before in any other iteration of existence. When she was probing her mind for answers and fell into her past before her past earlier this summer, it was one of the few times in the existence of the universe that a being had experienced their previous life in the way that Alia had and she was able to do it because Par-Cell is the Alia of her generation. It’s true that the Alia exists because the Aje does, and at the end of time when Par-Cell will be born, there won’t be an Aje, but when they jump back to the past, Par-Cell realized her birthright as the first universal Alia when Aje-Yel was lost to the light, and Par-Cell gave all of her knowledge to the Aje.
Alia has many gifts because of her connection to the wondrous power source that is always churning in the realm of light. She cannot access them all, but she can master some good ones. She has an affinity for the multiverse, hence her access to possible futures, but she is a master of sentient experience no matter where or when it exists. She was able to access the power of the first universal Alia to experience life before the life of this universe and that knowledge would give her perspective. She would help to found the ideology that will lead to the Ascendant, ensuring their rise, but, now, she will also create the formidable opposition to the Ascendant world view that would lead to their folly. Alia would become the genesis of both the problem and the solution.
Only Par-Cell knows this because it is complicated and seems to exalt the Alia as superior to others. But that could not be further from the truth, the Alia is the servant of all sentient beings of the universe, and the 140 were working all across the universe to ensure that when the time comes for her to rally opposition to the Dru-Earthlings, and anyone else who threatens a prosperous universe, she will have an army to stand with her.
