This is the energy log of shova lien. Atleast what the humans pronounce my name as.
I have been here for a very long time. Since the major human calander year of 20××. We came here to visit. To learn. To record and see all that there is. That is the purpose to our lives we have collectively chosen to do.
Other species we have met have decided other things to do. To spread out. To survive. To become immortal. To ascend.
I do not know what happened to these races we have met. I have not slept in what humans called centuries. I do not know why nor is it of major concern. It is natural to me it seems.
When we came to this world the humans were in the beginning of a war. What they called a world War. Their third world War. The fighting stopped as soon as touched the soft plants under our feet. However one of the nation's weapons, a nuclear bomb had already launched. Before it even got close to damaging this planet. The earth we took it away. Away from the world and to explode like a star among the other stars. It would never hurt a soul again.
Many of the humans were terrified of us. Some called us "angels" devoted temples to our names and bodies. Others used us or attempted to use us as excuses to harm themselves and others. However there was a number of the population who were excited to meet us. To find out they were alone. They were alone in a solar system that should have held many other peoples.
They would fight. Sometimes to kill. Sometimes for fun. Sometimes in what they called a druken state. They were as if monsters. They could lose entire limbs and continue to fight. We had only ever seen this In afew other species. They continued to fight in land that was entirely barren of life. Toxic. Radioactive. On fire. Or frozen. The weapons they used were projectile based. Devastating to any organic body. And so many different types. If their ranged failed they would get up close to one another using whatever they could to harm or kill. Fists, rocks, branches, knifes. So much death and destruction for such a young species.
So we stayed for a long time. Atleast what could be considered long for humans. As we did the humans suffered political strife. Some wished for our extinction matter where our brothers or sisters or mothers or fathers resided. Be they on earth or entire universes away. We did not wish this. Others wanted to worship us. Make us gods. We did not wish this. And others again wishes us extracted, harvested I'm hopes of gaining what we are. This is the time I learned emotion.
My rage and frustration was great. My normally opal like skin turned molten red. The world seemed to burn with my anger. My frustration towards the small humans before me. The sheer fear on their faves was blind to me as I roared anger towards them as they and no other creature had ever seen on this planet. It was only after intervention of our groups elder hunan did my rage stop. I learned emotion that day. I learned anger. Then I learned sorrow as I wept for my reaction and the sheer fear infront of me. And in many human years later did I learn joy when in my solitude did I see life being born.
The humans called them Turtles or tortoises depending on shells, legs, and diet. Such small things crawling out of hard shells and soft dirt infront of me. No protector. No guidance. Just experience. So many other creatures came to feast on them. I once again learned another thing. Protection. From the moment they were born to when they were adults o protected them all. Not one died under my watch. Nor did the predators who hunted them. This is when I returned to my group where I was welcomed back as if I had never left before. And so we stayed for a very long time.
Humanity seemed to change with our presence on the earth. They grew much older then before. They became compassionate. They wee smarter. They loved even more then before. They threw away their weapons of killing one another and instead turned to devices of protection. Of defense. Diseases would not harm them as greatly as they had before. The whole of the world healed entirely, life flourished greatly as if it has exploded. The world changed and it seemed for the better.
My kind left the world. I decided to stay here. I like this world. Despite having been toward every corner across this world I still have so much to see and experience. That was a long time ago. For humans atleast. I still see the children of the animals I protected every day. I still am visited by many humans in forest. I still sing with the birds that fly and listen to the wind in the trees. This is a beautiful world.
I have come to learn another important thing. A human had come to "interview" me. To learn of me and from me. He told me something. That "humans are still savanna apes with bombs and weapons". At this time humanity changing and changing for what they believed and what I believed to be better. But from their history texts, I have to agree with that reporter. They have grown in technology and land so much and so fast their bodies and evolution had not kept up. Now however they are peace with one another. With the world's they inhabit and in the universe we all exist in.
There was another who taught me something. That we must revist the world's we discovered. We must open the dirt and find the stone. For there is more history to learn and see. The humans called them dragons, paleo ecology, titans, and their true name: dinosaurs. And they were not the first known life forms there. Before them were the first life forms, the aquatic anthropods. This has shown me there is still so much to learn on all worlds.
The year is now 30××. I have been here for a very long time. I have seen much great and small changes in the human species. I have seen then as violent warriors. Now they are wise humble people. They fight still but not in the ways they did before. They have changed and for the better. They longer fight against one another. Now they fight in defense. In great fleets that can blot out entire sky's. They fight with weapons that have startled even me. They have medicines and techniques that have led them to a prosperous future. They will be long lived. And I will see them to the end.
For all my brother and sisters across the stars of the infinite sky's hear my message. Hear my words and know I will not be vanished. I live along side the humans. I am still here. I am still learning and growing. This is the energy message of Shova Lien
