The humans were by far the strangest creatures that I had ever seen. Because they came with the largest expansion of land ever known all the creatures of my batch group decided to explore the new lands and I decided to watch the new creatures from afar and secretly.

The secret was of the utmost importance because along with being strange they were extremely dangerous.

I knew a truth that could have changed the history of our batch but I had to stay silent.

The truth that I knew came from my wanting to be at the scene of my gift. I shapeshifted into all types of creatures to discover the source of the new creations. This source expanded outward and the creations were appearing right before my eyes, all appearing to be wet and shivering.

They opened my eyes to a memory I had not thought of in thousands of years... my very own birth.

The view of the creatures being wet and also looking like they were experiencing a similar sensation as I was before was life-changing. The last creatures that came would be later named by the infinites humans.

I only saw 30 humans created in the batch and they were all quite different in appearance. It had shocked me how I could easily tell each human apart from other humans. Some humans could run fast when they were created while others would stumble and fall. Some humans could talk and interact with animals and other creations.

Humans were different and diverse. Different hues of skin and less hair or fur than the other walking beast. The humans were diverse but some were very advanced and had shiny rays of light surrounding their bodies.

I stayed for as long as I could that day until I heard a 1st batch alarm code.

It was at that meeting of trusted leaders that informed us all of the massive geographical changes and a vote for travel was held. The vote passed and it was decided that we move on and only keep small forces near until we set up our other bases.

I devoted myself to sole occupancy to ensure more learning. Partly I was excited to be able to have new lands and see what my 1st batch could discover about those lands before I traveled. But I also knew I was first to study the 2nd batch of creatures and had lost out to a fearful majority of leaders.

Although I believed in safety I also believed in study and research in hopes of discovering everything. I soon stepped down in favor of an active leader and I don't mind it too much, but it seems that the leadership decisions were often based on lies.

The search to prove the smartest species had become like a dog chasing its tail, it allows for a certain amount of entertainment but no results. Nonetheless, I settled to study the next batch in solitary until the expansion hopefully allowed us to leave.

Besides not trusting the trusted leaders, I had been proud that what I originally started the organization for was finally being valued. I loved the pursuit of knowledge and learning how new things could benefit our way of life.

The leader now had focused our efforts on gaining superiority through knowledge. Although the information has been obtained and stored and organized well it still somehow always leads to bloody stealth missions.

I was eager to arrange to send all 1st batchers on expeditions to record and discover information without the worry of bloodshed and violence.

The teams mobilized and soon I was all alone. I knew I only had a few thousand years but I studied closely and things were crazy.

Immediately 18 of the 30 humans become overlords over all the other manifestations even the weaker counterpart humans. These 18 quickly created languages and organized categorization systems and finally space.

When I say space I mean that humans created space for each different manifestation to live and flourish. These 18 people became the rulers and believed that they were all mighty. As the years went on the 18 humans' abilities grew and were harnessed for impressing feats.

The 18 spent their energy declaring onto all the creations their all-knowing wisdom and knowledge. The 18 appeared to me to have an ability to speak things so unto the creatures. Like brainwashing the creature into behaving in the way the powerful human suggested.

I knew that if any of the first batch officers found out about this there could be a war. Our leaders were convinced we were the most powerful creations but these human creatures had obvious power.

I worried the others would be unable to make good decisions and only view humans as competition. So, I decided to keep the humans a secret as things began to get out of control.

I wished to keep it a secret forever but the only problem was the 18 had too much power and had enslaved the other creatures. The other creatures had no powers or abilities unless they begged and received them from the 18.

I knew that I could not stand by and watch powerless beings get controlled. I also knew that the rest of the 1st batch leadership would not watch either but vote for action.

Although I believed it would start a war I sent word to the top trusted leaders of the organization that I had news to share!
