    Anu Eshana and The Shards from Space - Part 1

    Shards of Fire! Shards of Power! Shards of Destruction! They went by many names. It all began when billions of crystalline shards of glass fell from the sky all around the world many years ago, changing the lives and course of human history forever. The shards were different in size and shape, a kaleidoscope of brilliance strewn randomly across the planet as if someone had shattered an intergalactic mirror. The shards all held different and unexpectedly mysterious magical properties, each with their own strengths and unique powers, much like the patterns on a snowflake. Similar to snowflakes, many melted and disintegrated away during their entry into Earth and the ones that made it through merged their essence everywhere including lifeforms such as humans, plants, and animals - with a randomly manifested plethora of properties. These properties include super strength, intelligence, beauty and so much more yet to be discovered. The devastation completely changed the landscape of the planet, resulting in billions of fatalities and the destruction of numerous cities. Thankfully, a large number of people who had been struck by this celestial event recognised their special abilities and used them to aid humans in survival and reconstruction. There were small shards that gave some humans elevated powers such as an increase in strength, and speed, while others that were simply unusual. There's a retired nurse who discovered the power to repel restaurant staff from recommending expensive wines that customers couldn't afford to buy. I think that’s a skill most would find useful, wouldn’t you say? The plants and animals that were imbued with the shards existed as well. In some regions, trees produced a variety of multicoloured fruits that resembled mangoes and oranges, all on the same tree! In certain cities, trees sparkled at night in a variety of colours. The animals that survived with the shards showed no sign of unusual powers except for some elevated strength, size, or speed. There are domesticated animals such as cows that produce a more frothy nutritious form of milk. Shardian-milk became the new talking point for health nuts who at one stage demonized anything produced by animals. There were even seafood delicacies dusted with Shardian powder that are only served in the finest restaurants throughout the world. One of the most sought-after was Shardian-lobster. It would glow green when boiled at a certain temperature and served with the finest Shardian-butter extracted from the highest mountains. There is, however, one dish to rule them all. Mix a little Shardian-butter and a little Shardian-chicken and you get the ultimate soul-quenching ambrosia, Shardian-Butter-Chicken. Everyone has a story of experiencing telepathic enlightenment with the one supreme cosmic chicken after eating it. For animal lovers, you could get Shardian-pets, such as cats that had a unique shade of colour or dogs with a slightly cuter bark. However, there’s a legend of a Shardian-llama in the highlands of Peru that can do standup comedy and spit in your face if you don’t laugh! There were some larger shards the size of buildings that gave powers of teleportation, access to portals to unknown depths of space, and some even the ability to harness cosmic energy to heat tea a little faster. Not much is known about these large shards as they were rounded up and hidden away in top-secret facilities for further study. The others that were discovered, were gathered and hoarded by the wealthy who could afford to find and procure hundreds if not thousands of pieces making them even more wealthy and powerful with access to a multitude of powers, unchecked and unregulated. Then there were the fortunate few where shards landed on their small backyards, some inside their homes. Those who could hide, safeguard, and study it prospered in secret and eventually found wealth and success. Then there were the bizarre finds of large shards the size of horses, discover
