Trials

Buzz... Buzz...

Ronnie's phone begins to light up, runes running down her screen in binary intervals.

"What the..."

She spoke softly, curiosity getting the best of the new mother as she didn't let go of her phone.

"Congratulations to those whom survived Judgement."

A deep toned voice, one that sank fear in Veronica. Her gaze shifted up at the anomaly, with a harsh feeling of certainty its being broadcasted from them.

"As it stands, 99.995 percent of your race has been executed and merged back into the seed of your world. The remaining four hundred thousand of you have been grouped together in a pair through the hardship of judgement. You may notice the air is clean, the fauna around you has reclaimed much of the lands, and your waters are no longer polluted."

The voice went on and on, and all the two can do is keep quiet and listen.

"You may have also felt more passionate, extremely lustful toward your now partners. We can see many of you have already sprung your first offsprings into this new world. Congratulations. Common births will happen relatively quickly, followed by their rapid growth. Pregnancies that take longer, will be prone to make stronger youth of human evolution."

A short pause comes after.

"This leads to the question, why haven't we killed the remaining population? We believe in second chances, may those that stood and embraced Judgement be given this chance. What we expect now, is an embodiment of human civilization to evolve. For each pair you'll grow your families. Continue growing, and you'll make a colony, and then a kingdom. Each kingdom will circum to many hardships and challenges, depending on how you lead."

"Inbreeding is not an issue, as the DNA passed down can shift in favor of your colony. From environmental factors, such as snowy tundras or volcanic valleys. Your survivability for these areas are no issue, and your young will display such."

Veronica takes in a deep breath, narrowing her brow.

"As to the end of five solar cycles for your planet, Judgement will be cast. The leading kingdom will be granted a new unpopulated planet on our behalf. If they too refused the world, they'll be gifted this planet and the current inhabitants. Eliminating everyone or enslaving them, that'll be completely up to the Victor."

"May humanities trial begin."
