Colossus By Design: Entry 0106 - Seed of Redemption

[Unknown Date]
[Roth-Ma Island, off the coast of the Japanese origin continent]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At a later date since the Atlanteans' first visit, the natives have since become accustomed to the now semi-regular trips undertaken by these visitors in their quest to study the 'deities' that call the Jiran Island cluster their home.

On this particular voyage, however, the goddess herself in all her majesty, whom would eventually be known as the Zeta in modern times, would be the one to greet the Atlantean visitors instead.


(Zeus): By the stars.... can it be?

(Deimos): Head lord, shall I get the recorder?

(Zeus): No. Let's wait and see what this creature will do first.


Two female natives, dressed in ceremonial garb, walk up beside their deity to meet up with the more advanced individuals. Once they arrive, their deity's antennae begin to glow a bright golden colour, and the eyes of the two female representatives glow in unison.


(Deimos): Head lord, perhaps it'd be best if we inquire about the purpose of this up close encounter with the moth goddess.

(Zeus): I agree.


The leader of the group of Atlanteans steps out from the deep-sea vessel and walks up towards the two native representatives.


(Zeus): You know us all too well. However, my crew, as well as myself, are curious as to the appearance of your goddess at this moment. Is there any particular reasoning behind this?


For a few brief moments, silence fills the air. However, the two natives break this silence and speak in complete unison, as though the insectoid deity was speaking through them herself.


(Mothra Shobijin): You come to us seeking our knowledge, and yet you yourselves do not realize what has transpired.

(Zeus): I do not understand.

(Mothra Shobijin): You and your people have unleashed a terrible evil, one that has been taken possession of by an even greater one. You come to us not realizing what your kind has done.

(Zeus): What exactly are you talking about?

(Mothra Shobijin): See for yourself.


All of a sudden, the leader clutches his head and falls to his knees. His crew members become alarmed at this and try to go help their leader, but a stern shriek from the goddess stops them in their tracks.


(Zeus): I see... I see......


The leader begins having visions, visions of the globe plagued by hordes upon hordes of Gyaos, led by Irys. The visions end, and the Atlantean leader slowly gets back up to his feet.


(Zeus): What.... what was all that?

(Mothra Shobijin): That was the world that your kind has set in motion. These visions are not of the future, but of the present.

(Zeus): Wait, you mean this is going on RIGHT NOW?!

(Mothra Shobijin): Yes, but there is hope. Your monsters do not dare trespass on the domain of the god and goddess that call these islands home, and you and your fellow men and women avoided them during your journey here, before their unleashing.

(Zeus): How could this have happened? They were to be under control!

(Mothra Shobijin): Your kind did much wrong, but there is one last chance at redemption. A guardian, built in the image of the one you worship most, will avenge your legacy.

(Zeus): Wait..... you mean that someone back home actually built a creature in the image of the life-giving turtle?

(Mothra Shobjin): Yes. However, your civilization will not follow the rest of Humanity into the new age, Zeus.

(Zeus): I see..... So, Atlantis is gone. What is to become of me and my crew then?

(Mothra Shobijin): Your technology, though once used for evil, can still be salvaged to plant seeds of good for the future.

(Zeus): Yes. I understand now!


Zeus goes back towards his crew, looking back one last time at the moth deity and her representatives before entering his vessel once again. After he closes up the hatch, the vessel goes back underwater; the crew don't notice the god of the Jiran Islands passing by underneath them.


(Deimos): Sir, we heard what happened. What is to become of us now?

(Zeus): Now? Now we begin re-seeding the potential for greatness in future generations. Our society is all but lost to Humanity, but perhaps not totally. Are the plans for genetic seeding of multiple generations with the knowledge of Divine Essence Harvesting still intact?

(Deimos): Yes, head lord. However, the technology is still comparatively underdeveloped, and the future generations will require many thousands of years as well as a particular catalyst, two things we can't give them.

(Zeus): It'll have to do. Even if future generations of Humanity don't achieve it as we did, they will eventually learn how to build up free-moving colossi, and other applications, once they learn how to harness their souls' hidden power.
