🌀 The Time-Scribes of Aereon (Year 2603)

🌌 Where Time Is a Landscape In the year 2603, humanity had colonized the planet Aereon, 47 light-years from Earth.

Unlike any other world, Aereon had a quantum-magnetic core that caused space-time to bend visibly.

On Aereon, time was no longer abstract. It flowed like rivers, swirled like clouds, shimmered like liquid auroras across the land.

Some said the air tasted like memory.

On this strange planet, some humans developed a rare neural ability known as Chronovision—the capacity to see the folds of time as visual waves.

Those who had this gift were called:

Time-Scribes.

🧬 How the Gift Emerged

It began with the children.

Born under Aereon’s triple moons, some babies cried at moments before their mothers entered the room. Some laughed at jokes yet to be spoken.

By age ten, they could see echoes of both past and future, fluttering like holographic butterflies.

Scientists called it Neurological Quantum Entanglement Syndrome.

But the Scribes had their own name for it:

“The Sight.”

A university was built in the city of Velhara, carved into glowing quartz cliffs—dedicated to training these rare children to become writers of the unwritten.

đź“– What Does a Time-Scribe Do?

Time-Scribes didn’t write books.

They wrote Temporal Maps—guides to probabilities, risk waves, and timelines that bent and converged.

Governments, space travelers, healers, even lovers came to the Scribes to understand which version of the future to pursue.

A trained Scribe could:

Predict planetary quakes days before they cracked

Warn of wars before leaders spoke

Detect emotional resonance between people years in advance

But their highest responsibility?

To choose which futures were worth living.

🕊️ The Ethics of Knowing

Not all knowledge brought peace.

One Scribe, Alna Zey, predicted a solar storm that could wipe out a nearby colony. She warned them.

But they didn’t believe her.

When the storm struck, she watched 11,000 lives vanish—knowing it would happen, powerless to stop it.

After that, many Scribes began practicing Temporal Silence—choosing to only reveal futures when they aligned with human choice, not control.

A movement grew:

“Let the future breathe.”

đź”® Seeing Your Own Fate

Scribes were forbidden from looking at their own timelines.

Why?

Because those who saw their deaths would either:

Try to change it—only to cause it

Or obsess over avoiding it—missing the life in between

But one Scribe, a boy named Tolan Rhys, broke the law.

He saw something strange:

Not his death—but his transformation.

He would become non-linear—a being outside time altogether.

He told no one.

Instead, he began carving a giant spiral of light into the desert, one line per day.

People thought he was mad.

But in 2603, the spiral completed—and in a flash of temporal light, he disappeared.

What remained was a floating glyph, still spinning above the sand:

“The time to live is always now.”

⏳ Can the Future Be Changed?

This question divided the planet.

Some believed timelines are rivers—you can swim, but not escape the current.

Others believed time is a web—and every action shifts everything.

A sect of rogue Scribes known as The Unwritten began editing events, causing rebellions before they even began.

But then paradoxes appeared.

Mountains un-existed.

People remembered lives they never lived.

Stars blinked in and out like thoughts.

The Time Council banned all Future Alteration Practices, fearing time could collapse like glass under pressure.

🪞 The Mirror Year

Once every Aereon decade, the planet entered a phase called The Mirror Year—when the temporal fields aligned perfectly.

During this time, everyone on the planet—not just Scribes—could see fragments of their possible futures reflected in water, shadows, and dreams.

Some saw joy.

Some saw grief.

Some saw silence.

It became a sacred time of reflection.

No wars were fought.

No crimes were committed.

Because for a brief moment—

Everyone remembered what was coming.

🌠 The Last Chronicle

Now, in the grand Library of Velhara, the last living Time-Scribe, Mael Eryn, writes the final Chronicle.

The Scribes are fading.

Technology has evolved to predict better than prophecy.

People no longer seek to see the future—they want to feel the present.

And yet Mael writes:

“The Sight was never about control. It was about awe.

We looked into time not to dominate it,

But to be humbled by it.”

As his ink flows across temporal parchment, the page shimmers—

Aereon’s time-river flows on.

And in the distance, a new child is born—

Eyes wide open, staring at a star that hasn't risen yet.
