This is a previous version of Point of Origin.



     It was a dark time when the Others came. Evolved, more like. They were dinosaurs and other beings of the past who became smarter, faster, better. When they died, their companions destroyed their remains. And they killed the older ones, the ones who had been there for millions of years. The new ones also had different skin, sometimes. They were the ones who survived when the meteor hit. They were ones who used the older ones’ bodies to survive. Even though they fought amongst themselves, they eventually settled what few differences they had and survived.
     So the mezoi and cambos came to be, and the dinosaurs, for the most part, died out. The mezoi helped the cambos survive, in hopes that they, too, could become intelligent. They hid when the homo sapiens came along, and slowly introduced themselves when they saw fit that the world could accept them.
     Scientist were entranced, and promised the mezoi greater advancement. The mezoi accepted immediately, but they were tricked. The humans feared them, and built computers that scanned entire cities for mezoi and cambo presence. Walls were built to control them and keep them from escaping the cities. People were assigned to track down any who escaped. The creatures could not live without the humans, anymore. They needed the cities and the doctors. Half of them were engineered in labs. Outside was not safe. This had never been tested, though.
     As time went on, this is simply came to be how things were. The mezoi accepted it. The cambos didn’t notice and didn’t care. Even those who worked with the control systems didn’t mind it. What they didn’t know was they had all been tricked far worse than they believed. Every one of them, and the humans, too. The government and the doctors in their offices and the scientist in their labs had played a dirty trick on them all.

Omg cliche alert! Forgive me, I could not resist putting it like that. It was as dark time...[rolls her eyes]. Not much else to say about this one. Your commentary is welcome.



Reviews

Are they going to revolt? They should... they technically are the older race and we should be learning from them.

(I suggest reordering the "chapters" in this such that informational pages like this come not in the middle of the text but act more like an appendix or foreword)
