The First King

What do we fear the most? 

Is it the hunt, the struggle for food, or the fear of becoming prey? Our insecurities have driven us to control everything we fear, to capture and conquer. We find excuses to label the unknown as dangerous and conquer it. This shift over the years has bred greed. Initially, it was the necessity of milk from cows for survival. Slowly, however, greed took over, and now, meat without spices doesn't suit our taste.

Every day, our sins consume us. This is the tale of how the Earth is being destroyed, has been destroyed, and will always be destroyed. Life was once simple; people focused on survival, with no nightmares or regrets. However, as the population grew, everything went well until suddenly, only a few remained. It wasn't due to war, epidemics, or illness. This pattern continued over the years and centuries, but in one generation, a wise man was born. He listened to the elders' whispers, began to draw them in caves, and taught his children about the world's strange phenomena. His children took on his job, and his profession became known as 'recorer.'

"Humans strive to grow and prosper, but every time they set out to prosper, they are reduced to their survival instincts." This meant that every time the human population increased, they set forth on a new adventure, and their numbers were drastically reduced, forcing them to reproduce and succumb to their survival instincts. This process happened on many occasions.

Once, two tribes engaged in battle to claim superiority, which we'll call the White Tribe and the Black Tribe. The reason for their fight was to determine which colored species was more superior. At that time, war was different; both men and women fought on the battlefront with different roles. There was no discrimination, and at that time, no one classified themselves as anything other than their gender.

Generation after generation fought pointless battles—battles between siblings, battles between neighbors, even when the family shared the same blood. Battles for succession were fought. Not everyone participated in these battles. Recorer's of each tribe, along with some farmers and animal breeders, vowed to devote themselves to the world and didn't succumb to the lusts it offered. Another profession emerged, wiser or, as we would call them today, wisest. They analyzed the marks left by recorers, enjoyed what the world had to offer, and were part of society but not as orthodox as the recorers. However, this didn't stop the cycle of repetition.

Wisest coined this cycle as the 'nature law of correction.' Initially, it was thought that nature had a limited quantity to offer each species, and they lived in harmony. But when there was an imbalance, nature would automatically correct itself. After many centuries, when humanity was reduced to just 1000 people after a war, everyone gathered for a discussion. They discussed why they were reduced to this number. If fighting was the reason, they could have stopped it, but for the last decade, no one fought, and still, illness claimed most lives.

The oldest wisest came forward and said,

 'thy shant no rule , thy shant no prosper , thy shall array , thy shall be dead '

Many didn't understand his words, but to the recorers and wisest, it was just a riddle. They took their time and finally solved it, demonstrating it in the discussion on the 1st day of the month Tiger before the calendar.

A shepherd was summoned to the council, explaining his daily duty of managing sheep and showing directions to the lost ones. He mainly focused on the first sheep, and the rest followed him, forming a herd. People began to ponder the need for someone to guide them, a true leader with knowledge of humans. Thus, the quest for the first guider in the history of humanity began, also known as the quest for the first king.
