2. Chapter I: Aboard the Cosmic Wayfarer
A vibrant green jungle, trees that grew higher than the naked eye could see. The sheer humidity was too stifling for a human being to bear and could possibly be the result of computer malfunctioning. Treehoppers, locusts, and ladybugs danced from place to place. A morpho butterfly batted its wings that were split in half between two dazzling venomous colors.
Water flowed and trickled in some streams and in other small pools, but the lush verdure completely concealed them from plain sight. Nothing had withered and only continued to grow, even better than before, now that humans had given up control. Its new rulers were the kingdoms of ants that fought to retain supremacy.
Goodbye to the Age of Mankind and welcome to the Age of Ants.
The newly founded ant colonies divided up the land into various zones that contained extremely small but organized territories. Inevitably, as the ant population began to grow and explode, the need for expansion and conquest also grew as well.
