Cosmic Exile

by Armand Vespertine

After many generations of self-directed evolution, Humanity believes it has perfected itself. Everyone is brilliant, beautiful, even immortal. More amazing perhaps is that they are also peaceful. Terrified that they would be the cause of their own extinction, Humans re-engineered themselves to be a race of pacifists and altruists, who see violence and egotism as anathema.

Though Humans may now resemble Elves more than Men, the Universe they inhabit is still black and cold and cruel. It is ancient and vast beyond comprehension, and these naïve Humans venture into it at their peril.

Deep within the eternal and boundless Dark dwell many fell creatures, abominations that Humanity would fall to without hope of salvation.

The Meek have inherited the Earth. They may not be able to keep it.

About the author

I aspire to be a myth-maker. Every story I write adds to my mythology. These tales span many subgenres of science fiction and fantasy, yet they all share common elements than ultimately unites them under a single lore.

My mythology is not yet complete. It may never be completed, either because it has no end or I end before it does. Should the latter be the case I can at least take some comfort in the fact that some of it saw the light of day and now lies within the minds of others.

I'd love to talk with anyone who likes my stories. You can reach me on twitter @A_Vespertine.
