This one, the second Era of this world... the aptly called Age of Pursuit...312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiD7Miy7LR
The Centra were gone but the world would continue, still bound to their will but312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAn2wiKmug
now without their guiding hand. Instead, it would be all that they had left behind that312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBw9XMU2TGP
would now set a new curse for the world after them. Once the Centra had claimed this312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMXKapEPhB
world to themselves, thanks to their mastery of all sciences, magics and technology312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqj6HvBrvio
that provided them with the unparalleled (hateful profanities to some and cause for312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7nuO2n2OG
divine worship to others) that ran rampant across the entire planet to this very day.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNoWJjkxBm
All that they built and accomplished, all that defined their very existence; an entire312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJ5wYFXOdr
empire spanning across all continents, all seas and the one sky, was left behind for312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWanezvZsmU
those that would eventually follow.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYwqR7AMfX
Who would dare guess how long it came to pass since the world woke up one day in312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRcxhLRUe1
complete silence, the sound of their rulership absent, before life would finally resume312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImHSrCO73N
its course? With no more thunderous machines or hovering cities, and with no more312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqvnouawbH
Centra to command it all, an entire world was now free. How long for the first races312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eNuScjc2i
to sprout forth and begin their own curse, and does any of it matter?312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXvPzC2cmS
Eventually, of course, they did. And little by little they grew. At first, little more312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0G7csjFoEU
than animals scrapping for food but in time they would master several forms of312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GPBygBSQO
hunting and fishing, and from there they would evolve to the races of our current time.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0PJ2u1vmq
Slowly but surely, that was how the current races of this world came about. Humans312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh82gYDutio
and those that would later call themselves the Nharkim as well as countless others;312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbXmEoQVmD
Twinkledinnes, Sandrackar, Maruic, Dreibos and many more. And for an exceedingly312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULH4RalaS9
long time, they were just that, tribes of fishermen and hunters struggling to find shelter312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgzUQ690SF
from the heavy rains. Nothing more than primitive and superstitious creatures, each312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡid4Gsj9fGH
with their customs and fears for the world may have been silent, the Centra absent,312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlk9enrfRaq
but fear still roamed the lands and kept all living things in check, regardless of beliefs.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cT7ubMGwm
And would continue to do so for aeons. I would claim it still does so, even today, if312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4zMRI8OFj
only for the less privileged.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiZOAlerXF
Our current Era really began, as always, with an apparent meaningless action of312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SJeHZh9E1
not much importance, but enough to start the largest of all chain of events. That small312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zPsdYZ5t7
gesture that opened the way for what would define our world to this very day; the Era312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoT4QGzVfc
of Pursuit began, the moment a member of the small and meek tribe of Twinkledinnes,312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLYMRN6XPC
one of the tiniest races one could ever hope to meet, decided to venture forth into one312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgjCCCiSx0
of the forbidden zones. Any area where Centra remnants were known to exist were312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQaP4zcbm1
best avoided - a taboo.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSK0AsRqoN
What was the motive that drove such a small creature?312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYiCSUkvlH
That is now lost to us, dissolved in the ebb and flow of time but the result of such an312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqzeigWSZi
action defines all things today. Into one of the Centra ruins that Twinkledinne went312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YPTyHsXsF
and when he came out, he did so with something in his hands. That very moment,312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ069BbJOQvN
where this small creature showed there was not only nothing to fear from those areas312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwB5xttWHW
but there were also rewards to be picked up, that was when this Era truly began.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeJDAdEhe9
Word began to spread, and the veil of fear and superstition was lifted. All tribes,312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXCCPJgkMq
in time, came to learn that there was nothing to fear from venturing into Centra312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8spbczORDX
territories. No longer were these Centra remnants cursed places, to be feared and312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aZ8OVMeWp
avoided for either religious reasons imposed by most tribes or the mere common sense312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwk90lglHb2
of the passing traveller. No. Now anything Centra was a place to be actively sought out312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1p8hvkuju
and where fortune could be found. One by one every tribe of every race got into this,312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTIlidL6vD
offering handsome rewards to anyone presenting them with anything made by Centra,312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jO26B2QCY
even to those outside their own race.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXWPVxpBq6
And so, greed was ironically enough, the will that broke any previous isolation and312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM955xJAZqt
made most embrace outside relations. But what brought all the races together would312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoq66cdPVm6
also tear them apart. At first, most things were bought and sold as decorum, but as312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hkJG51G1i
time went on and the races kept evolving and learning from these finds, their value and312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hFNU6pVUE
their importance kept increasing.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyHlcsEDap
From the study and learning of these Centra finds, most races began evolving,312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgj4Ub3xlRY
building, finding cures for the sick and easier ways to withstand the cold storms.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FDO2xJBzB
It became obvious to all that this was their future, that the finding of more and more312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2j3nkvQ4Ri
Centra technology, or anything concerning it, was their new path.
