Twilight over Celesterra: The Alliance of Survivors

Chapter 1.The Complex Relationship Between Succubi And Humans On Celesterra

Celesterra is a planet with four large continents spread across its surface: Nordania, Sudania, Estaria, and Ocezoria. These majestic lands are surrounded by the oceans Atlantys and Pacifys, as well as the seas Aponia, Serenia, and Tritonia.

Nordania, the largest of the continents, is composed of several countries, including the Kingdom of Aurys, the Republic of Sylvaria, and the Empire of Grevoria.

The capital of Aurys, Dorandel, is a radiant city built at the foot of the Silver Mountains. Sylvaria, on the other hand, has the verdant city of Arboris as its capital, nestled in the heart of a vast forest. Finally, the capital of Grevoria, Fortalia, is a fortified city located near the Menacis Volcano, whose spectacular eruptions are both feared and admired.

Sudania, situated south of Nordania, is a continent with diverse landscapes, housing nations such as the Sultanate of Zafaria, the Federation of Oasisa, and the Kingdom of Montazia. The capital of Zafaria, Sablara, is a lush oasis in the midst of the Sapphire Desert. Oasisa, with its capital Azzuria, is crossed by the grand Azul River, which irrigates fertile plains and peaceful valleys. Lastly, Montazia, with its capital Rocamont, is famous for its majestic mountains, with the highest peak, Mount Serenitatis, being a sacred place for the inhabitants.

Estaria, a continent located east of Nordania, is populated by island nations such as the Nymphaea Archipelago and the Republic of Aquaria. The capital of Nymphaea, Floralis, is a city built on a volcanic island, while the capital of Aquaria, Marinus, is a city built on stilts above the sea. The waters surrounding these two nations are rich in marine resources, making fishing the primary economic activity in the region.

Ocezoria, the most isolated continent, is located south of Estaria and consists of icy and inhospitable lands. Only a handful of peoples live there, such as the warrior women of the Gélidia Clan, whose capital, Frosthelm, is a city carved into the ice. The Eternal Peaks mountain range, which traverses Ocezoria, houses the Nivaria Volcano, known for its eruptions blending lava and ice.

On the planet Celesterra, two distinct races coexist: humans and succubi. Succubi are creatures that feed on the masculine essence of humans to survive. However, they cannot extract this essence directly as humans feel no attraction towards them.

Succubi are unique and fascinating creatures, exclusively composed of women. Physically, they exhibit characteristics reminiscent of various animals. Some succubi have centaur-like features, with a body that is part human and part horse, while others possess horns similar to those of deer or bulls. Some may even have spider-like attributes, such as additional legs or venomous fangs.

Despite these differences, all succubi share an enchanting beauty and seductive allure that contrasts with their predatory nature. Their eyes are often of intense and hypnotic colors, and their skin can have unusual hues like blue, green, or violet. Their long, silky hair also comes in a variety of vibrant and radiant colors.

Succubi reproduce in a unique and original manner that does not require physical contact between partners. They release pheromones into the air, which mix with those of another succubus to conceive offspring. When two succubi have exchanged their pheromones, an egg is produced, containing a developing succubus within.

This egg, carefully guarded and protected by the succubi, embodies the hope and continuity of their race. Succubi hold these eggs in high regard, considering them true treasures and symbols of their strength and unity.

Humans stand out as a distinct race from succubi. Human women, in particular, exhibit notable physical differences compared to succubi. They typically have more pronounced body shapes, with less muscular figures than their supernatural counterparts. Unlike succubi, they do not possess any animal parts on their bodies.

Human women display a wide variety of traits and characteristics, reflecting the diversity of nations and cultures populating Celesterra. Their appearance is simpler and less exotic than that of succubi, lacking the animalistic attributes and vibrant colors that characterize the latter. Human women have eyes in natural shades such as brown, blue, green, or gray, and their hair comes in more classic colors like blond, brown, red, and black.

Despite their less spectacular appearance compared to succubi, human women possess their own charm and beauty, rooted in their authenticity and humanity. They play a central role in human society, particularly in the economy and relations with succubi, thanks to their ability to extract the masculine essence that succubi require.

On Celesterra, human men hold a particular position in society. Their main role is to reproduce with women and provide their masculine essence to succubi. This essence, vital for the survival of succubi, is extracted by human women, who sell or trade it for the powers and abilities of succubi.

Men are often seen as beings whose value lies primarily in their ability to reproduce and meet the needs of succubi. This places them in a subordinate and dependent position, both in relation to human women and succubi.

However, this situation does not prevent men from possessing their own qualities and skills. Some excel in various fields such as art, science, or politics, contributing to the wealth and diversity of human society.

To meet their needs, succubi have established a system of exchange with human women. Human women, capable of extracting masculine essence, sell or trade it for the powers and abilities of succubi. This arrangement benefits both parties: succubi obtain the essence they need to survive, while human women benefit from the strength and energy of succubi to improve their daily lives.

The relationship between succubi and humans is complex and fraught with mistrust, as each fears losing control in this fragile alliance. Succubi, though dependent on humans for their survival, are keen to preserve their independence and mystery. On the other hand, humans fear the power of succubi and the potential consequences of their exchanges, but are aware of the benefits they can derive from them.

Despite lingering tensions, succubi and humans have managed to establish a certain balance, allowing each to survive and thrive on the planet Celesterra. This coexistence, though fragile, is the result of mutual understanding and respect for the boundaries and needs of each race.

Over time, on the planet Celesterra, large human enterprises have developed techniques to exploit and commercialize masculine essence. They have created human essence farms where the essence is collected and processed into various products such as creams, pastes, and preserves. These products are then sold to succubi who require them to survive.

On their part, succubi have also taken advantage of this new economy to diversify and create their own businesses, particularly in the field of security. Leveraging their powers and strength, succubi have founded companies specializing in guarding, close protection, and electronic surveillance, becoming major players in the security sector on Celesterra.

This evolution has led to an increasing interdependence between humans and succubi, who now share common economic interests. Human enterprises benefit from this lucrative trade, while succubi enjoy a steady supply of essence and an increasingly significant economic role.

However, this situation also raises ethical concerns and tensions. Some people criticize the exploitation of human essence farms, denouncing it as a form of slavery and a violation of human dignity.

Furthermore, the rise of succubi enterprises in the security sector raises concerns about their growing influence over society and human institutions.

Despite these controversies, the trade of human essence and cooperation between succubi and humans seem to be here to stay, reflecting the evolving relationship between these two races on the planet Celesterra and the complexity of the issues that unite them.
