Gravity : The nucleus of love

Humans and humans… humans and time… A story of souls drawn to each other

GRAVITY

2525 AD: the Earth has fallen into decay, so the human race is working to create a clone of Earth's solar system, with ideal planets for eventual human immigration.

Kalpa, the sun at the center of the new system, will be circled by a number of planets for human colonization, including Daimo, Yuga, Karra, and Clep, a planet with water resources.

Yet another planet, Argira, is home to people called the Seekers.

One day the situation suddenly changes: Kalpa begins losing heat.

2607 AD: Kalpa, now plunged into deep, deep cold, is beautifully radiant, draped in frosty white. Humans have fallen into calling this crystal star Claritus. They stare in amazement at its frozen face, graced by sprays of icy plumage, chill, remote.

To find the cause of this solar freezing, and to find some solution to that most threatening problem, nine Seekers depart from Argira on a journey to the past. But their effort is to no avail. The human race dies out.

A few thousands years later, Claritus has grown wise and independent, and is creating stars, using the process that human beings invented.

One of the nine Seekers returns from the past. Returning from beyond time and space, empty-handed after the journey to discover the cause of the austere icing of Kalpa, not realizing that he is on his old home star, he wanders from place to place.

One auspicious day, weary from aimless wandering, the Seeker spots a tree-type life form. He sits down and leans against its trunk, having decided in despair that he will end his life there.

However, as the Seeker cuddles up to the tree, it metamorphosizes into a female human.

Just before they died out, people had stored the memories of all human beings in these tree-beings and programmed them to produce a human of the opposite sex of any Seeker who returns in the future.

This new female human tells the startled Seeker that they are on the surface of the old star Kalpa, now known as Claritus. She recounts to him the numerous tragedies humans suffered after the nine Seekers set out on their doomed mission.

The Seeker and the transmuted female become Adam and Eve, and begin the history of human beings anew, in a corner of the savage universe.

Tens of thousands of years later, one of their descendants, a great king, has three daughters, Claris, Illumina, and Ciroco. Wishing a secure future for the human race, he gives each of the three princesses a Claritus star to start their own personal universe. They are entrusted to create a fertile matrix to ensure the prosperity of the human beings who emerged from the union of the Seeker and the tree woman.

GRAVITY is a metaphor for the hidden treasure that appears in the stories of the lineage of the three princesses and of the shadow tribe whose story has never yet been told.

"GRAVITY"

西暦2525年人類は移住のために太陽系のクローンを産み出す事に着手。

そこには太陽に代わる恒星カルパをはじめ、水質資源惑星クレプ、居住用の アイオン、ダイモ、カイロス、ユガ、カーラ。

探索者(seeker)と呼ばれる人々の住む惑星アルジラが存在した。

しかし恒星カルパの熱量が低下する事態に陥る。

その後100年が過ぎる頃、冷えて白く美しく光るカルパをいつしか人々はクラリタスと名付け、氷のパウダーが地平線を舞う恒星を呆然と見つめていた。

原因を究明し、現状を打開するために9名の探索者(Seeker)が人類の過去へと旅立つが、対策が間に合わず人類は滅亡する。

数千年後のクラリタスでは人類の発明した"星を産み出すメカニズム"をクラリタス自身が模倣し、

広大な大地のいくつかの場所でスターメイカーが星を生産し始めていた。

星を紡ぐ場所-時系列

そのクラリタスに独りの探索者(Seeker)が時空を超えてカルパ冷却の原因調査から帰還する。

彼は立ち戻ったその星が彼の時代のカルパだとは気が付かずに放浪する。やがてひとつの樹木型の生命体を見つけその幹に横たわり自身の終焉の場所と定める。

しかしその樹木は探索者(Seeker)が寄り添うほどにメタモルフォーゼし、女性型の人類に姿を変えて行く。

人類は滅亡する直前に全ての記憶をこの樹木型生命体に宿し、いつの日かSeekerが帰還した時に相手の性別に呼応し異性を産み出す様にプログラムをしていたのだ。

彼女は彼に語る。ここがカルパであった事、そしてクラリタスと呼ばれていた事、Seeker達が旅立った後の様々な人類の悲劇を彼に伝える。

やがて2人は荒涼たる宇宙の片隅で人類の歴史を初めからやり直す為のアダムとイブになった。

クラリタス遠景

数万年後、子孫である1人の偉大な王が三人の姫を授かる。クラリス、イルミナ、シロコと名付けられた王女はそれぞれ別宇宙でのクラリタスを与えられSeekerと樹木型生命体から再び始まった人類の繁栄を託される事となった。

"GRAVITY"とはその3つの女系王族と未だ語られる事の無かったひとつの影族の物語に登場する秘宝の総称である。
