The Rise of Marthyas

Then with his chest puffed with pride he continued , " All that changed in EE ( Enlightened Era) 001. It was then that we discovered the plant- symbiote species , the holy plant of Lamiace. It was the greatest discovery that changed the history of us, Marthyas. The seed of this plant could be ingested into us and it would intertwine with the cardiovascular, nervous, and digestive systems and grant us the meridians. The implantation of the seeds and its subsequent development was a delicate process. The success of that was less than 10% for almost 5000 years. The other races had discovered, mastered, and perfected their powers almost 5000 years before this event.

Even though the nature did not bless us with naturally endowed abilities, we made ourselves extraordinary through our own efforts. What followed then was an extensive research and experimentation. Many sacrificed their lives and the lives of their descendants for the sake of Marthya race. The implantation process was perfected. Various scientists also discovered ways to make artificial plant-symbiotes to grant us more powerful and sophisticated meridians. Soon the number of people who could have meridians increased overtime and the process was perfected. Today almost 99 % of marthyas above the age of 18 have meridians planted into them. The quality of meridians planted is same for everyone. It is always of medium quality. The reason for that is , if a high quality meridian is planted for the first time into a marthya body, it may absorb large amount of energy from the surroundings naturally and would overwhelm the body. Hence the quality of meridians is always the same.

Soon we marthyas began to grow in power to the point where we had a Martial Entity in a short while. The experts of the marthya race came together and established our strongholds in various parts of the world. Soon we grew into a force which could stand toe to toe with other races.

In 1000 CE ( Confederation Era ) the various martial entities and nations came together to address the rise in population of the three races. They used their efforts and dragged in 2 more planets to the habitable zone of the Nova Solar system using their powers and technology. We used the materials from the asteroid belt and the resources from two other planets in the nearby solar system to terraform those two planets and all four species expended to those planets. Some materials were also used to correct the environmental problems on Terra as well. This is the general crux of what happened. It is almost time and so we will continue this in the next class. " As if to prove Delvin right, the signal for next class was shown. He wished the students a good day. All the students stood up in respect to the martial artist and soldier who took the class. The teacher for their next section also bowed slightly to Delvin and he nodded to her with a calm smile.
