  Chapter 13 Beyond the Trad Ocean

  Extract from ‘The Woe of Mankind’ by Solin De’Teinde.

  So in their ignorance mankind made enemy of mankind and the inventiveness and knowledge they had accumulated and coveted for so long turned against them. This power became more important than survival itself. Forgiveness, love, and friendship fell by the wayside and jealousy, conceit, revenge and retribution drove the minds of humans. In his madness and arrogance human fought human upon the world. Terrible in its destruction was the war. The knowledge that was used to build was now used recklessly to destroy. Millions died at the whim of a few and even after all the politicians and governments where gone, even after the armies lay crushed, obliterated upon the battlefields, the legacy, the destructive technology, the automated weaponry, continued to rain destruction upon the world until each and every tool of war was either destroyed or its energy totally spent.

  Human Kind had all but wiped itself from the face of the world and in its wrath had condemned the world along with it. That which was created in great love and taken a thousand million years to evolve was destroyed in hatred in but the span of a comparative moment.
