Vixi

OOC: This is open to anyone participating in the Multiverse. I'm going to be working on construction various planets for the SciFiish aspect of it, and all are welcome to any planet they like, or to start their own.

Vixi, the planet of life.

Slightly larger than Earth, but on a more level axis, Vixi is home to constant seasons to its various regions. At the poles are snowy, ice-covered land masses. As one moves closer to the equator, the land becomes pleasentently temperate, coating its various continents in full, green trees, from pines to redwoods. The runoff from the poles pours into bodies of water from sparkling rivers to beautiful oceans. Closer still to the equator the climate becomes tropical, sporting palm tree-lined sandy beaches with views out into the endless oceans. At the very equator is a strip of desert, where the most heat-adapted of creatures flourish.

Spanning one full continent, from coast to coast and from the northern pole to its cutoff just south of the desert strip, is the planet's capital city, Salus. The city is a center of trade and a safe-haven for all who choose to avoid war with its planet and residents. It is also the only city on the planet, the rest being devoted to nature and all its enriching beauties. Salus is technologically advanced and pacifistically devoute. The only projectile weapons permitted on the planet are those being shipped off to other planets, whereas an entire section of the city, spanning aproximately two hundred square miles, is devoted to medical research and developement. The world is a place of peace, of tranquility, of harmony.

Vixi is a planet of life.

An albino female sat quietly on the wheelchair, pale delicate hand settled themselves feebly on hand rests, while closed eyes seemingly stared down at the ground, depicting a heavy heart. The smell of flora and a fresh breeze filled her sense of smell while the sound of speech, heartbeat, footsteps on marble, creatures-like filled her hearing. One can admit this child is not exactly an extrovert, and more of reserved. No one can possibly know her outlook towards the world. Admittedly, to her limited knowledge, Reitsuki had no clue which land had she ended up upon-- the only thing she know now is she is in a hospital-like facility. That to her, was suffice enough.
Casually, she reversed her wheelchair slightly to avoid the feeling of heat upon her skin, and retreated back into the comfort of shade, possibly under a grand tree or kind. Crimson black eyes finally revealed themselves from under a veil of eyelid. Conical fingers gently gathered loose strands of hair and tucked them behind seemingly slightly elven-like ears, subconsciously revealing three dangling earing on one side, each with a different coloured gemstones of a dowsing crystal-like shape. In a fluid motion, she then gathered her back-long hair to rest on her left shoulder. With so much, she rested back into the seat, unmoving.

Vixi.

A planet so ancient that it had nearly been forgotten entirely. Long had it laid outside of the overall turmoil of The Multiverse. For untold years it had orbited quietly around its star, it's people going about their own, peaceful existence.

But now that time was coming to an end.

The government of Salus could not at first be certain of what they were seeing. Suddenly, and without warning, some dark celestial, pmanet-like body appeared in the heavens, eclipsing the very center of the massive city. All attempts to scan it returnes wilday varying results, as if the planet was constantly changing. Despite blocking the light of the sun, the massive planet seemed to glow with its own internal light, which flickered and wavered constantly.

Hours passed before a sortie was planned to get a better look at this anomaly. And just as one of Salus' medium range shuttles was preparing to launch, the first meteors hit.

Devastating in their mass and speed, they crumbled vast sections of the city upon impact, leaving large craters that were visible from the Armarx. The citizens of Salus barely had time to recover from this calamity before a blood chilling truth came to light. Swarms of dark, crystalline forms emerged from the centers if the craters, some vaguely humanoid, some simply geometric abstractions. With terrible speed, they took to the streets, pinning down any survivors they could find and impaling their cranium with cruel needles projected from their mass. And while everyone was now focused on the terrors that rampaged nearly uncontested through the once-peaceful streets of Salus, the dark planet suddenly vanished, as quickly as it had come.

The sundering of Vixi had begun.

Two days had passed since the cataclysm had first gripped the planet of life. Millions were dead, fires raged across Salus, and the sky was choked with meteoric ash. The natives of the planet clung to whatever totems they needed to...whatever religious icons they though would save them, but nothing halted the advance of the 'glass men'.

Scientists from Armarx watched hopelessly from their towers on the moon above, as a great, black blight began to spread from the centers of the impact craters. The meteors from the planetary anomaly seemed to be converting the matter of Vixi into the same substance that they and the glass men were composed of.

The peaceful people of Vixi had no standing army to repel the invaders, and Armarx only had loose militias and state police. They did the best they could to help, but the scale was just too big.

The planet of life was dying.

There was nothing that could be done.

For the past week, the former residents of the planet of life had watched in horror as their paradise world slowly turned into a black, crystalline husk of its former self. It was assumed that anyone who hadn't escaped by this point was already dead, since the atmosphere of Vixi had been eaten away by the foul black substance that corrupted the planet.

Scientists on Armarx had noted that, despite retaining the same overall mass, Vixi was shrinking, becoming more and more dense. What they could not understand were the whirling clouds of color that seemed to rage beneath the glassy surface of the planet.

Then it happened.

On the twentieth day of Vixi's siege, the now dead planet of life suddenly vanished in a brilliant flash of light. The surface of Armarx was bombarded by exotic particles that didn't even have names, and in the aftermath of the incandescence, there was simply empty space.




Vixi was no more.
