An underwater city, underwater war, underwater humans.

It was a beautiful place. Deep beneath the Atlantic ocean, a city thrived. The city was home to hundreds of humans who lived and worked together to further the development of the city and the world above. <br><br>For centuries, it had been home to some of the most intelligent and creative minds in the world. The first of its kind was built in the late 1970's by a reclusive young billionaire named Duran Eldrid. He had made his fortune through the invention and sale of a revolutionary new material that Duran Eldrid called 'Raylite'. Raylite was the strongest and lightest material in use at the time. Used in the construction of aircraft, ships, cars and even spaceships. It was a wonderful invention and it brought about a great deal of prosperity to the world. <br><br>From his arrival in the city, Duran Eldrid devoted the rest of his life to helping mankind. He invested heavily in the construction of facilities and equipment used in the city for the advancement of humanity. The first of these facilities was an underwater observatory. From it, the inhabitants of the city developed a new understanding of the universe and were able to develop techniques and technologies that improved life on Earth. <br><br>From Duran Eldrid's departure on, many others followed in his footsteps. He was the first of many to move to the city and use his wealth and expertise to help make the world a better place. The people of the city were inventors, artists, engineers and many other things. They were a people who wished to help others and make the world a better place. They were also a people who had been watching and waiting for a long time. They had their reasons and they knew why they did what they did. They were a very unique people. They were a people who possessed secrets and technologies far more advanced than those who lived upon the surface of the ocean. <br><br>The city was powered by a renewable energy source that had been invented by one of the inhabitants. This energy source, which the inhabitants called 'Energon', was the primary power source for the city. It was generated by collectors which used the smallest forms of aquatic life to create electricity. The energy was clean, efficient and essentially limitless. <br><br>The city was a marvel. A beautiful place full of life and wonder. The inhabitants of the city were kind and peaceful. They were content with their lives and their places in the world. Many of them were happy to live their lives, to die and pass into history as peaceful inhabitants of a city. Others were not. They were the ones who watched and waited. <br><br>They were the ones who had to fight. <br><br>The year was 2175, the day July 15th. The inhabitants of the city had been watching and waiting for a long time. They had been waiting for the day when mankind would finally turn on itself and destroy everything that they had. They had been watching as the nations of Earth continued to squabble and argue with one another. They had been watching as the environment became worse and worse. They had been watching as the inhabitants of Earth continued to allow their greed and ignorance to consume their lives. <br><br>On that day, the war came. In the cold and dark waters of the Atlantic ocean, a great and terrible war began. <br><br>The war had been coming for a long time. That was why the city had been built. It was the safe haven, the place where humanity could begin anew when faced with the choice of waging war and killing millions or sacrificing everything and starting over in a new place and with a new way of life. <br><br>The war was fought with great ferocity. There were few nations involved in the war, but those who were seemed to throw their entire might into it. It was a war like none before it. Great battleships and aircraft carriers clashed with submarines and fighter jets. <br><br>The inhabitants of the city watched in horror, but they were not shocked. They had known for a long time that it was coming. They also knew what they were going to do. They watched as the war raged on for hour after hour. They knew that they had to act quickly, before it was too late. <br><br>Down in the city, the inhabitants gathered their things and prepared to leave. They had been preparing for this moment for years and years. They had built a great convoy of ships and they were now preparing to leave the city behind and set off into the unknown. They had been watching and waiting for a long time, now they were finally going to do something. <br><br>They left in secret, under the cover of darkness. They had not warned anyone of their plans. They knew that if they had, they would have been stopped. They had to be careful. They had to be quiet. They departed the city quietly and set off towards the north. They knew where they were going and what they were doing. <br><br>It was a long and difficult journey. They faced many challenges and dangers along the way. The war raged on above them, threatening to spill over into the ocean at any moment. But they pushed on. They had to. They were doing it for the future. <br><br>They traveled to the polar ice cap, and there they stopped. The polar ice cap had been growing smaller and smaller over the years, and it was now just a fraction of its former size. But it was still large and imposing. <br><br>And that was why the inhabitants of the city had come to it. They had come because they needed the ice. They needed it to build the New World. <br><br>The New World was a concept that had been thought of by Duran Eldrid himself. He had realised a long time ago that the world was heading in a dangerous direction. He had seen that it was a path that would ultimately lead to destruction. <br><br>He had also thought of the city as a possible solution. It was a place where a select few could live and wait for the day when they could return to the surface and start anew. <br><br>But that wasn't all. The inhabitants of the city had developed a new technology. A technology that would allow them to change their bodies and adapt to living in water. They would be able to survive beneath the waves. They would be able to thrive and live as an entirely new race. <br><br>They had been waiting for a long time. They had been waiting for the day when the world above would become uninhabitable, and the day when they could begin the new chapter of humanity. They had been watching and waiting, and now it had finally come. They were finally able to begin the new chapter. <br><br>They set to work immediately. They began to melt the ice cap, to harvest its water and use it to create a new and beautiful world. They worked tirelessly for many years. They never stopped, they never slowed down. They kept working and pushing forward, no matter what dangers lay ahead. <br><br>Until finally, the New World was complete. It was a beautiful place. A place of wonder and magic. A place unlike anything that had ever been seen before. It was a place where humanity could thrive and live in peace. <br><br>And so they did. They lived for thousands of years, free from war and suffering. They lived happily and peacefully. They were content and they knew that they were living in a wonderful world. They were also free to explore and develop the ocean. They could travel and discover as they pleased. They could do whatever they wanted and go wherever they pleased. <br><br>And that is why they thrived and lived for thousands of years. They were truly free and they were happy. <br><br>That is the story of the underwater city, of how the inhabitants had to fight and struggle to get to where they were. They were a hardy and determined people, and theirs is a story of hope and wonder. It is a reminder that no matter how dark the world may be, there is always a chance of peace and happiness. <br><br>And maybe, just maybe, the story of the underwater city is true. Maybe it's real, and it's waiting for us, just out of sight.
