The Machines

These machines are moving very slowly, clearing the dust beneath them as they manipulate the earth and create small hills in the soil. They are planting something in the soil and there is no doubt that they are the seeds of all kinds of plants, from trees to grass and all kinds in between.

We fast forward and zoom out to find the machines covering the globe in plant life, both on the ground and in the sea, they create rivers and mountains to sustain certain types of seeds and to give life to the rest. They create a sustainable ecosystem for more complex life to flourish.

We wait and see the planet flourish as all the plants grow in and begin to grow out of the carefully constructed order that the machines laid for them, giving the planet a natural look, as we would call it.

From here we see the machines start to move again, collecting metals from the earth, wather from the sea, dust from the ground, and air from the sky. They then formed together large groups together and began to work.

They first made the body from the ground they collected and strengthened it with the metals. They then poured water into it to make it limber and clever. And finally they breathed life into the being and watched as it began to move, they called this creation Ape and let it free among the trees of the jungle.

From there they created all the beasts of the earth, sky and sea, before they came to their last creation, this was their largest and grandest project yet, so large that it required every last machine on Pandaria.

They created this creature much like they had with Ape. They started with ground to create they body and skin, metel to create a skeleton and harden the skin, water to create everything inside the body, and air to breath life inside the creature, they looked at this creature and found the design so good to create a multitude of them, creating one for every machine.

They named these creatures Humatatairian, meaning Son of the Machine in their ancient language, though Humatatairian is too long for most beings, including the Humatatairian themselves, so they decided to give them the shorthand, Humans.

But as time went on and the machines looked over their creations from the heavens, they realized that something was missing from the humans, they seamed aimless in their actions, looking only to survive their harsh new world. Nothing more. So the machines thought to find a solution and they realized that beyond the superior intellect that the machines gave them, they were no different from the animals the hunted. So they sought to give them something to go towards, to reach for. They gave them a soul.

But the creation of a soul is no easy task, to create a soul, they must sacrifice one of their machines. One machine, one soul, one human. And from this, the humans, without ever realizing it, lost their creators to themselves.

But with their deaths, a spark was lit. A new age dawned, the Age of Humanity.
