[WP] Mother Earth doesn't love trees. They're no different than tumors to her, infecting and covering all her expanse. In fact, she wants them gone so much she has been helping species evolve with the sole purpose of ridding her of them. Her most succesful attempt has been the Human.

[WP] "... The rhythmic beatings that occur every day on the same time. The topographic scanners showing us that there is fluid running through a vast system of underground tunnels. Command, we have reason to believe that planet Selene-2 is a living creature."

[WP] Two bored kids are sitting by the beach. "Hey, did you bring the golems?" "Oh, yeah! I forgot about that!" replies the boy, reaching into a small wooden box and pouring hundreds of human shaped figurines into the sand. "Build a better castle this time. The battle ended too quickly last time."

[WP] Your planet is dead. The last ocean dried, the last tree was killed, the last animal poached. As the air slowly becomes unbreathable, the world’s governments prepare a pod to a new world, a last chance at life. Adam and Eve of The Red Planet have successfully landed on Terra, the Earth.

[WP] An ancient weapon takes the shape of whatever the handler is best at. For the poet and writer a book of spells. For the fighter and swordsman a mighty blade. After collapsing several civilizations, the weapon is lost and forgotten. Centuries later, the artifact lands on a broke painter’s hands

[WP] You’re the sole survivor of the sudden and mysterious death of all humanity. You’ve been dodging insanity for decades by talking to mannequins and puppets. One day, sitting in your shelter, there’s a knock on your door.

[WP] One day, every tree in the world crawls out of the soil and starts walking. That's it, that's the whole thing. Walking trees. It's the news of the century. Scientists have been so focused on knowing how and why they are walking that they never stop to think about where they are going.
