May the Force Be With You: The Arrival

May the Force be with you: The Arrival

Prologue: Since Time Immemorial

“There is no Emotion, there is Peace.

There is no Ignorance, there is Knowledge.

There is no Passion, there is Serenity.

There is no Chaos, there is Harmony.

There is no Death, there is the Force.”

—The Jedi Code

History would tell you that Humanity's existence to this day spans from millions years of evolution, trials of history, and tribulations that Humanity has endured.

History would be correct with records, research, and scientific prove on its side.

However what if that wasn't the case.

What if Humanity had always existed even before our time on earth?

In fact what if Humanity by theory had already evolved and through time became more advanced than we could possibly Imagine.

But this must be all just fiction right?

Something you'd here out of a story or legend passed from someone.

There is no true scientific proof that Humanity existed in such a way

Well, there is such a tale, not proven by science, fact, research or even religion.

No this tale of Humanity's true beginning has something that most of us seemed to forgotten as time has passed.

...It all begins with the Force.

A long time ago, in a Galaxy far, far away

Humanity's beginning started like all origins, simple yet forever intertwined in history that has been lost.

Man had already claimed the mantle of intelligence capable of performing many abilities, talents and skills that we already possess today.

However there was one thing that gave mankind an edge in its existence, an unknown ability which some would say was “impossible” for any human today to even comprehend, or control for that matter, yet this power ...“The Force” which many had dubbed it became a staple in man’s growth.

Eventually as time passed on Human's had become a species built on the foundations of knowledge, creativity and innovation, sporting no ignorance only wanting to improve itself in every way it could.

But if there was one thing Humanity attempt to understand, yet  could not grasp was the mysterious nature of the Force which eluded even the brightest minds. This power which they could control yet not fully understand, had given them the power beyond the normal human capabilities.

"The Force" became a subject of wonder and question.

How was this power granted to Humanity in what way did it give power to some and wisdom to others and why could Humanity communicate with "The Force", yet barely understand its very existence.

Many had pondered on how this was to be, some believing that it was a blessing from an deity of the unknown, others saying that it was the proof of Humankind's connection to the world that granted them this power and some even believing that humanity had from the very beginning were in tune with "The Force".

Yet these questions remained unanswered for ages, left in the halls of time.

...However

Two individuals would come forth, determined to understand how this came to be.

The two individuals were twin brothers guided by curiosity and enlightenment,

The brothers were known as Levias and Umbriel.

Levias, a man who wished to understand his abilities was the more philosophical of the two, well known for his gentle nature, studies of politics and diplomacy, his love the of the arts and the time he spent researching over the living and spiritual natures of the world only wishing to live in harmony with "The Force".

Umbriel like his brother wished to understand his gift, however unlike Levias the philosopher, Umbriel was a warrior,well known for his physical capabilities and skills, spending his time training his body, and shaping his mind for strategic conflicts, interested in the physical realm and how it could be changed.

Seeking out answers to understand "The Force", the two had embarked on a journey to understand the mystery of "The Force”  with one vision, one goal in mind.

...Too seek out the answers that eluded all of humanity.

As Levias and Umbriel ventured out to solve the great mystery of "The Force"  the two decided to walk upon different paths.

One shined upon by Light and One shrouded by the Dark, Levias walked the path to the Light, while Umbriel treaded the Path of Darkness.

The journey was more than a harrowing challenge, the brothers spent years learning from their experiences as they traveled collecting and recording the knowledge they found,the two brothers faced many trials that pushed them to the limits of their spirits.

However their greatest discovery would be the ability that allowed them to transcend from mortal plain and become the very personification’s of light and dark becoming the Avatars of both the Light and Dark sides of "The Force" respectfully, a power beyond mortal comprehension.

With that  the brothers, becoming the personifications of the Light and Dark ended their journey returning back to their homeland to share their knowledge.

Needless to say, Humanity had been more than impressed with the brothers as they demonstrated their new abilities and understanding of the Force.  proclaim the eternal brothers as their leaders. While the brothers had decline such an great honor at first they eventually accepted their new roles becoming the eternal brothers of the Light and Dark.

As time went on Levias and Umbriel, were known as the benevolent rulers of humanity;  teaching their subjects the mysteries of the Force.

Levias's lessons upon the Light, taught his subjects how to use telepathy and commune with nature around them and it many denizens, to heal and defend themselves from danger, persuade the minds of the weak minded and even manipulate the force of nature itself both physically and spiritually,transcending the physical plain. To understand these gifts, Levias preached to his subjects the life of peace and tranquility within oneself.

Umbriel's dark lessons, taught his subjects learning how to use harness its awesome yet terrifying  power. With his knowledge they harnessed the power of the Force to inflict harm on others, call on the Force to enhance their physical form and increase their prowess, control their fears and even use it to demoralize their opponents,  use telepathy to inflict mental harm with their power, and if necessary drain the vitality from their victims. In turn to use the powers of the Dark side, the subjects called on their passions and emotions to aide them and defend their home from anyone that dared threaten it.

As Time passed, humanity became more enlighten by the brothers teachings,  their land prospering from the reign of the eternal  brothers of Light and Dark.

However change is something both welcomed and feared, yet if one chooses to accept, could bring more than just enlightenment.

This being said when Humanity encountered a race nearly similar to themselves.

They’re appearance could best be describe as anthropomorphic equine-like beings, Physically wise from the Stallions, Mares and Foals alike appeared similar to human physiology in almost every aspect. yet a most noticeable distinction were the variants of which these beings came some domed majestic wings, which made them appear like angels.Others were blessed with a single elongated horn, and some who didn't sport both wings nor horn.

Among these being, the rarest of them were the regal appearing equines that sported both horns and wings; they were looked upon as a blessing upon the equines being both wise and powerful as well noble, however being few in number they were viewed as the a rarity among the Equine and were considered to be the leading race.

This sentient race of newcomers to the humans would be known as the Equine.

At first, with the arrival of the equines, tensions had risen between both races as their first encounter had been rather awkward ,nevertheless upon hearing that the Equine had appeared in their land, Levias and Umbriel had come forth and welcomed the Equine to their homeland allowing any who wished to live alongside .

At first the Equine were rather wary of the humans however as time past more than glad to live alongside the humans as both races  were advance in their societies.

As time passed both races coexisted creating a perfect harmony.

However the Equine differentiated in physique as the variants consisted of several types .

In fact as time went on both races became closer spiritually and even emotionally. Bonds of friendships formed, patriotism rised,  and elevated pride... even romance blossomed.

With this both races prospering, became the pinnacle of coexistence for other races, hoping to join them and become a part of their society and become something even greater.

This became nearly immeasurable as both the union of Humans and Equines became even more limitless as the races combined power of the force and magic giving them a superior edge over the other races advancements in their societies. This said both Levicus and Umbrius along with the leaders of the equines looked upon their shared land and shared it prosperity with others, allowing trades and other forms of interaction with the neighboring lands.

And for a time, it was paradise.

However no matter the age there always comes time when spite and envy cloud the rays of harmony.

The lands that neighbored the prospering land began to feel jealously and animosity toward Humans and Equines, once where there was respect now stood spite, scorning the land which seemed to be flourishing with life, happiness and wealth that seemed everlasting.

Fearing that they were gaining too much power and would set out to conquer their homes, the spite filled lands began to mass l armies scheming to conquer the land of prosperity. Eventually rumors of war had reached land of prosperity raising tensions and fear within both Humans and Equine, Levias and Umbriel alongside the Royal Alicorns knew that a solution must be found, in hopes to prevent such a crisis, to prevent  conflict the leaders of both races journeyed to the lands of the jealous races in hopes of that there could be a way of finding a peaceful solution to this crisis.

However their attempts were all in vain as the races of the Griffons, Minotaur's and Serpents of the sea had angrily  refused to stave off the path of war, screaming in bouts of rage that blood must be spilled for the land of prosperity crimes.

With no chance of negotiating a peaceful truce, Levias and Umbriel along the Royal Alicorn Families with heavy hearts began preparing their races respectfully. As such the many subjects, who trained under both the brothers amassed themselves ready for conflict alongside their Equine brethren who were more than willing to protect their shared sacred home as they readied themselves for the upcoming war.

Both races ready, the Human and Equine gathered ready on their borders ready to face off the invading coalition of races that had conspired to bring them down on their knees.

As such the inevitable conflict had begun...The War that would engulf a world ensued.

Conflict after conflict, the combined efforts of the Humans and Equines proved to be more than enough to match the combined army of the jealous races. Under the leadership of the Brothers and Alicorn leaders, it took a great yet united effort for the Land of Prosperity to show its might as the Force wielding humans and Elementally gifted equines began to push out the Invading forces.

Eventually the invading forces fled, surrendering to the Prospering Land. This Victory while not without many consequences, held a true hallmark to the coexisting races that managed to defend their now sacred home from destruction.

And for the next thousand years, all was well within the land that forever prospered.

However, a shroud of darkness would fall over the land.

...the Dark side of the Force

The realm that Umbriel had spent decades of studies, meditation and training slowly began to cloud his thoughts, poisoning his mind with thoughts of an insatiable craving for power an desire to lead the land into a more prosperous age by forcing the weaker nations to submit to the prosperous land and casting out those not fit to strive the path.

This Darkened path.

His disposition had from a belligerent leader to cold and methodical becoming more distant lost in his thoughts as if he were keeping something to himself,

Eventually, as time passed Umbriel became that of a benevolent ruler to something more sinister , never allowing himself to open up towards his subjects, the equines which worried Levias greatly.

This change in his brother behavior had more of impact as he felt a great disturbance in the balance of the Force, the darkness began to spread over the light steadily clouding it under a veil of shadows.

The internal conflict that escalated from Levias and Umbriel brought more than a tremor to Force. Umbriel  allowed his anger to consume him and in his rage he unleashed untold terrors of the Force that no being ever dared to challenge.

Umbriel mind becoming more consumed by his craving for power, found himself believing that the Dark side had given him more power than ever before and that this was a sign to covert this kingdom of freedom, equality and harmony.

Into an Empire of Darkness, that would share one vision, his vision.

Umbriel, now a vessel of hatred a shell of his former self, had rechristened himself into Azazeus claiming himself to be the true deity of the Force and sole ruler of the world.

Levias, now with no succession of bringing his brother back from the Dark side slowly began losing, his faith in returning balance to the Force. He began to see visions as he slept, seeing glimpses of events that would arise.

Journeying, to the sacred grove he'd discovered centuries which provided him with peace at mind allowing him to focus his efforts on understanding the upcoming future. Meditating for days Levias began seeing premonitions showing him events that were to come.

His first vision showed and himself, facing in a climatic duel with Azazeus.  He saw clashing powers of the light and dark shaking the foundation of the world, an event that would not only affect both Azazeus and himself but all of Humanity.

The Next vision showed the aftermath, with humanity gone as if a divine wind blew them away.

  Levias continued to view all that played out , the equines banning together, settling their differences aside creating a new nation led by the Two Alicorns daughters of the current Alicorn royal family whose king and queen claimed the powers of Day and Night. The elder sibling charged of the raising the sun and the younger one would be tasked of raising and governing of the moon, both becoming the new rulers of the land.

At first Levias could only smile at the site seeing the equines living in harmony, led under by the regal sisters.

However his smile faded as the next vision rolled in showing him a rather familiar event.

The next vision foresaw as the younger alicorn sibling falling out of grace and losing herself to jealously cause by her subjects neglecting her work and marveling over sister’s sun. And her banishment to the very source of her power by the elder white alicorn.

“Will this madness, truly end.” As Levias spoke in wise but yet, sadden tone

The vision that came after, detailed a group of six mares who became the essence of Harmony themselves, this said the vision continued as it showed the corrupted alicorn being cleansed by this same power the elder alicorn used to banish her to the moon.

“Perhaps I was wrong, there maybe hope yet.” As the eternal brother of the light retorted.

But the final vision had shown something more, what Levicus saw truly surprised him as he saw a young human male appearing, greeting the same group of mares foreseen previously, showing him meeting them and…

“...Excuse my presence, wise one but may thou ask why you are here.” An innocent voice asked.

With his vision ending at that moment, Levias opening his eyes, looked down to see a young familiar Alicorn filly with a pure alabaster coat and pristine light pink mane, with her curious amethyst eyes gazed upon him, she was dressed in a light yellow and white sundress draped with orange and yellow ribbons.

Arising from his seat, the eternal brother of light smiled as he approached the Alicorn filly,

“...Greetings, my dear young sun filly It seems that thou has discovered thy sanctuary.” Levias responded.

“...Oh, forgive thee for disturbing thou wise one, but you seemed troubled as if thou had experienced a terror.” The filly responded innocently.

“...Thy might say that I have endeared and lived on.”  As Levias responded before he spoke again “...Celestia, I know of thou parents quite well,  thou care to elaborate as to why thou are here with thee."

"I only wished to speak with thee you seemed very disturbed as of late, father and mother both have recently noticed this and grow worried for you and Lord Umbriel." the alicorn filly responded.

Levias smiled, he known well that Celestia was a caring filly, so young yet he knew she would be destined for great things

"It is nothing, simply an argument between my brother and myself. Tell King Hyperion and Lady Galaxia shall not need to worry." he said hoping to end to the discussion.

"I have heard recently that thou was blessed with a younger sister."

"Oh yes, my little sister she was recently born yet I adore her ,mother and father named her after in honor of the moon, as they did with me to honor the sun.

"..I see, fitting for both the daughters of the stars and skies.” Levias  responded

“Thank you, wise one.” as Celestia responded with a smile.

The two spoke for hours, discussing over the current events, Celestia had given her thoughts over the conflicts had ensured as of late, believing that it was unnecessary to cause such chaos.

“...Celestia, may I inquire an question?” as Levias asked standing up from his spot, gazing toward the horizon ”

"Of course, what is it that thou need."

"... What do you see for the future."

Celestia looked at the wise man with a rather perplexed look, pondering what he meant.

“...Excuse me, wise one but whatever do you mean?” Celestia asked.

Levias still gazed toward the setting sun, responded.

“...What I mean is what do you wish for the future.” as he turned around looking at Alicorn filly with grey eyes.

Celestia while young for her age understood the question responding quickly. “I wish, I wish for a future of harmony, of peace, were all beings could live in happiness with one another” she finished.

“...Would you be willing to lead by example if necessary?” The Force master responded.

“...Yes, I’d be willing to raise the Sun to do so!”  The filly declared.

The Eternal brother of the Light smiled at his young friend's declaration .

" There may be hope yet." he said quietly.

“What, wise one." Celestia replied.

.

"Nothing, my dear I afraid that this will be last we shall speak to another for some time."

"For how long wise one." Celestia asked

"For a long time I'm afraid."

Celestia looked heartbroken, her ears flattened down upon hearing those words.

“Do not fret my dear this will not be the last time we shall speak, it shall be some time but we speak again, I promise this to you.

"What will happen to you, is something going to happen." Celestia asked.

“...I have no way of knowing, what will become of my kind whether disappear or not only the Force shall reveal that answer.” Levias spoke with a calm.

...“If your people do disappear, how long will you all be gone?” Celestia asked sadly.

"If we should vanish I wish for you to trust your feelings, do what is right for all, rule over your kind with a kind and fair heart alongside your sister.” he instructed as the Alicorn filly nodded in understanding, albeit a bit confused.

" Surely you shall return."

"I am not to sure if we shall my dear."

"...Then, I promise for as long as it takes and welcome you and your kind to return home!!!” as Celestia replied happily.

Levias smilied with hope as she spoke, “.. You have thy gratitude young one,  one hoped that thou could resolve this crisis on my own, but it seems that the Force has guided us on a different path.

"

With this Levias stood up but before leaving the filly alicorn the human said one final thing.

“,,,Celestia.” he looked unto the setting sun before walking away.

“...Yes, wise one” the alicorn filly replied.

...

...

...

“...May the Force be with you.” as the ancient human left the grove, leaving the alicorn to ponder his parting words.

It was shortly after that the visions that were foreseen came to pass.

The final battle between Levias and Azazeus became nearly immeasurable as the opposing power of the Light and Dark, created a wave of energy leaving behind no human to be seen in the land.

Where the humans had vanished the Equines had remained, but were under one banner when the Alicorns of the sun and moon governed them.

However as foresaw the younger alicorn fell out grace becoming a threat to her land and subjects. But shortly after her descent to darkness she banished by her older sibling to the very place of where her power reigned.

And finally the six figures that had been foreseen, did appear becoming the six powers that would cleanse the corrupted Alicorn of the night.

All was well now in the ancient land  all that remains is the final premonition which had yet to be seen.
