Loose Ends: Prologue (G/T Story)

Loose Ends: Prologue
45 years ago the Human race had discovered a new planet they had named Terium. At this time life on earth was but nonexistent and humans had relocated to Terium which was inside of the Milky way galaxy. It was as if an exact replication of earth just the planet was larger but all of the animals were in proportionate in size to that of a human. The world was rich with resources and would’ve been an ideal place for a human but at least 10 times in height.

15 years of peace was prospered on Terium until they came. Towering in height we were nothing but dolls to the ‘people’ who came. They called themselves the Dharkk. Although that name didn’t represent them at all it was quickly revealed that their home planet had also died and that they had discovered millennia ago that this planet would be ideal if harm would come to their pre existing home planet. They were the exact same as us. They had ‘people’ of all nationalities, colour, beliefs and clothing. They were as diverse and unique as each human but our population had diminished since relocating to Terium. Our prosperous cities and communities of 8 billion was a mere 1 billion since our relocation. The Dharkk were out numbering us and also out sizing us 10 fold. They measured 60-84 feet in height but us humans merely measured 5-7 feet. They were prepared unlike us.

Their government and leadership decided to enslave the humans. To bestow us underground to the mines to harvest the precious ores and materials that lay just below the surface. Terium was human sized therefore being impossible for the Dharkk to effectively mine and harvest the materials of this planet. This law was enforced in the year 3045 and for 30 years after that the humans were enslaved and abused. It wasn’t until the year 3075 when a Dharkkian woman fought and won for the rights of humans. Now Dharkk towns and cities have been compromised for human interaction. Humans on the black market and being treated like pets have stopped. There was no superiority complex with any Dharkkian upon the race. Dharkkians were so easily convinced by this law and that was what made that woman unique. She was the 1 in 20 billion Dharkkians who lived past the law and had a different opinion. Most Dharkkians are traditionalists they obey laws blindly without a second thought so transition from slave to respect was extremely fast and strange. But there are always those few who still thinks of us the same as before.

My name is Alice McBee, aged 16, human and I hate Dharkkians. Their size, intelligence and history scares me but although that woman who freed us was a Dharkkian she is my role model and I could never deny that.
