Redefining Coexistence on Le Gallialian

The days passed and the seasons changed, but most of the changes happened in the sky above Le Gallialian. The sky was always there, even if it was muddy brown or full of clouds. The happy people there were always busy and never bored. They were always happy to see each other, always ready to play a joke on one another.

But the people were not all happy anymore. People began to disappear from the town, it started with little ones first, then adults began to disappear too. Most of them returned, some didn't. No-one knew why they had been taken.

The only good thing about this time was that it made the people who were left even closer to each other, because they couldn't stay here in the town by themselves anymore. They needed each other for their support. And so they became friends during this time.

They remained strong and did not give up hope that their friends would return victorious from wherever they had disappeared to. And then suddenly one day, a bunch of strangers showed up in their midst, surrounded by soldiers who kept them under guard at all times. This seemed very strange to everyone and everyone wondered what these people wanted and why they had come here at all.

Two months later, more strangers arrived and yet again they were guarded by soldiers who kept them away from the rest of the people who lived in this town. Some of them tried to talk to those strangers but they could not understand a word that they said, which made them angry because their town was known for being a place where people could understand each other no matter what language they spoke, or what region they came from.

The whole situation did not seem good at all so someone went up to one of the strangers who seemed like he didn't belong among his own group, as if he had been captured just like everyone else who had been taken away from their homes before him. He told him that he was welcome in this town if he wanted to join them and help them get back their freedom back from those soldiers who imprisoned them. He told him that he should make his voice heard if he wanted something different than being herded around like cattle between two fences like an animal in a zoo, which made some of the soldiers look angry at him for saying that out loud.

But before the stranger could answer him back, another stranger came towards him and talked to him in a strange language nobody understood but himself and after talking for a while he turned around and looked at everyone standing around watching them with puzzled faces and then he told them: "This man is my brother", which confused most of them even more than before because how could someone have a brother when no-one here knew anything about siblings? Before anyone could ask any further questions about that though, he told them: "We have been sent here on behalf of our leader."

"Who is your leader?" someone asked immediately after hearing this claim and many others wanted to know the same thing too but before he could answer that question someone else cut in: "The one we should bow down to!" But before anyone could bow down to any imaginary leader a woman spoke out: "I want you all to know that I am also here on behalf of my leader." And after her words many others announced that they too were there representing their own leaders so it seemed like everyone present was claiming to be working on behalf of some higher power instead of acting on their own accord which made everyone feel confused as well as angry because no-one liked being bossed around especially by someone who wasn't even there personally telling them what to do! So somebody lost his patience finally and told those strangers: "Shut up! We don't need any leaders or followers! We are free here!" And just as soon as he shouted those words something changed in his mind which made him realize that he didn't feel free at all anymore because these strangers kept interrupting everything that anybody said with their claims about having been sent by somebody else or representing somebody else's interests instead of acting of their own volition on behalf of themselves alone! It seemed as if everybody there was just following orders blindly without thinking for themselves anymore which made him remember how his life had once been just like that: Boring! He used to follow orders without questioning anything but now he felt like something inside him had changed really deeply when those weird strangers showed up in his town claiming all kinds of things that nobody there believed anymore so now it felt strange for him not being able to act out freely whatever came into his mind! Why hadn't anyone noticed how much these strangers were changing everything? Why hadn't anybody realized how miserable this world would become when everyone followed orders without asking any questions? Where had all freedom gone? Who took away its power over us? Where are those invisible rulers keeping us locked up behind prison bars?!
