Magic Planet: A story of a made up place

At a time there was a planet called Magic Planet.  It was a perfect sphere with a radius of 3 units.  The planet had three equators that intersected each other at right angles.  The equator that divided the top and bottom was blue.  The equator that divided left and right was red.  The equator that divided the front and back was yellow.  Each equator was .5 pi units thick on the surface.

The planet had 12 moons.  Each of these was also perfect spheres, but each of them had a radius of .3 units.  Each moon’s center was 6 units away from the planet’s center and traveled in a perfect circle about the planet.  Each moon had a certain color and had a certain number of dots that were of a different color.  Each dot was .05 pi units in diameter on the surface.  Each dot had a cylinder of the same color going to the center of the moon.  Each moon started over an equator section.  The moons over the blue equator were blue with orange dots and traveled along the blue equator.  The moons over the red equator were red with green dots and traveled over the red equator.  The moons over the yellow equator were yellow with purple dots and traveled over the yellow equator.

Two blue moons started over the right front section of equator, and the other two blue moons started over the left back section of equator.  Two of the red moons started over the top front section of equator, and the other two red moons started over the bottom back section of equator.  Two of the yellow moons started over the top right section of equator, and the other two yellow moons started over the bottom left section of equator.  Each pair of moons was the same distance from the midpoint of their section.  Each moon with its pair formed a 30-degree angle at the planet’s center.

Each blue moon had 16 dots spaced like an octagonal antiprism with a regular octagon as the base and regular triangles as the lateral sides.  Each red moon had 10 dots spaced like a pentagonal antiprism with a regular pentagon as the base and regular triangles as the lateral sides.  Each yellow moon had 22 dots spaced like a hendecagonal antiprism with a regular hendecagon as the base and regular triangles as the lateral sides.  The bases of these polyhedra were parallel to the planet's surface.  The rotational axis of the respective moons went through the centers of these bases.

Magic Planet had 6 suns.  Each of these was also perfect spheres, but each of them had a radius of 30 units.  Each sun’s center was 600 units away from the planet’s center and traveled in a perfect circle about the planet.  Each sun was over a midpoint of equator section.  One sun started over the right back section of equator and was the color blue.  Another sun stared over the bottom front section of equator and was the color red.  A third sun started over the top left section of equator and was the color yellow.  A fourth sun started over the left front section of equator and was the color orange.  A fifth sun started over the top back section of equator and was the color green.  The sixth sun started over the bottom right section of equator and was the color purple.  The blue sun and orange sun traveled along the blue equator.  The red sun and green sun traveled along the red equator.  The yellow sun and purple sun traveled along the yellow equator.  On each sun there were 6 of like rings that were 5 pi units thick on the surface; inside the planet these curved in a mirror image of the surface.  Each ring was parallel with one other on the same sun and perpendicular with each of the other four.  Two of each sun's rings were parallel with the planet's surface, and through the center of these 2 did the sun's rotational axis go through.  All of the rings were brown.  The rings intersected each other, and the centers of the intersections formed a cube.

All moons and suns did revolutions and rotations at the same rate.  All revolutions and rotations were simultaneous and clockwise.  In the time a moon did a revolution of .01 pi units it would do a rotation of .01 pi units and in that same time a sun would do a revolution of .01 pi units and a rotation of .01 pi units.  One of these would be a minute.  60 minutes would be an hour (1 full revolution of a moon).  20 hours would be a day (1 full orbit of a moon).  5 days would be a month (1 full revolution of a sun).  20 months would be a year (1 full orbit of a sun).  A minute would consist of 60 seconds.  A week was 7 days.

The water on Magic Planet was within each of the 8 regions and was shaped like perfect circles on the surface.  All water met underground in the center and was symmetric to each of the equators.  Inside the planet, the water was shaped like cylinders that intersected each other.  Each diameter of water was .5 pi units on the surface.

Each equator was made up of dirt, but there were stones on the surface that was 1 unit into the ground.  The blue equator consisted of sapphires, the red equator rubies, and the yellow equator emeralds and topaz.  Grass was in between the equators and water.

Magic Planet was governed by 108 spirits: 4 for each of the 8 regions, 4 for each of the 12 sections of equator, 4 for each of the 6 places the equators meet and that traveled from there to the center and back, and 4 for the center.  Each spirit had a unique combination of powers.  The spirits on the top had powers related to air.  The spirits on the bottom had powers related to water.  The spirits on the left had powers related to earth.  The spirits on the right had powers related to fire.  The spirits on the front had powers related to heaven.  The spirits on the back had powers related to hell.  The spirits on the equators had the power to pass through objects.  The spirits in the 8 regions had the power to change shape.  All spirits had the ability to create things.

In each of the regions were a set of 4 buildings.  The top regions each had a blue regular octahedron in the top corner.  The bottom regions each had a blue regular icosahedron in the bottom corner.  The left regions each had a red cube in the left corner.  The right regions each had a red regular tetrahedron in the right corner.  The front regions each had a yellow regular dodecahedron in the front corner.  The back regions each had a yellow regular tetrahedron in the back corner.  Those buildings were where the powers were given and restored.  The 8 remaining buildings were in the centers of the 8 regions.  Each of these buildings was brown and floated on top of the water.  These 8 buildings served as homes.  The top left front had a regular icosahedron; the bottom right back had a regular dodecahedron; the top right back had a cube; the bottom left front had a regular octahedron; the top left back and the bottom right front each had a regular tetrahedron.  The bottom left back had an octagon prism that consisted of a regular octagon as base and squares as lateral faces.  The top right front had the duel of an octagon prism that consisted of isosceles triangles with one angle being 18 degrees and the other two being 81 degrees; the 8 face vertices had the 18 degrees, and the 4 face vertices had the 81 degrees.

In between the buildings and the bodies of water, there were several plants.  Among the dirt and stones were flowers.  Among the grass were trees, both deciduous and conifers.  Many of the deciduous trees produced fruit.  Along the edges of dirt and grass were bushes and shrubs.  A number of these also produced food.

There were 8 main creatures on Magic Planet.  In the top right, there were fire breathing dragons that flew in the air.  In the bottom left, there were mud monsters that traveled along the coasts and that occasionally went into water or onto ground.  In the top left, there were gargoyles that sometimes flew in air or walked on ground.  In the bottom right, there were mermaids and mermen that swam in the water and could create fire.  These 4 creatures lived only a limited time, but the ones in front lived longer than the ones in back.  Weapons and disease could kill these 4 creatures, but the ones in front could endure them longer.  All of these had limited knowledge, but the ones in front had more knowledge.  The other 4 lived along the blue and red equators.  On the top, there were birds.  On the bottom were water monsters.  On the right there were fire monsters.  On the left were sand monsters.  These 4 lived forever, and only weapons in great number could kill them.  Mortal creatures in the back could have a maximum age of 4800, mortal creatures in the front could have a maximum age of 13440, and mortal creatures on the yellow equator could have a maximum age of 9120.  Mortal creatures that were children of an immortal creature could have a maximum age of 10560 for the back, 29568 for the front, and 20064 for the yellow equator.  288 was the age of adulthood for creatures.  All creatures were born 3 months after conception.  Of mortal and immortal, male creatures would belong to the group of their father and female creatures to the group of their mother.  The physical appearance would be characteristic of both parents.  Each creature had the capabilities of both parents.

Magic Planet had 4 types of people including the spirits.  The spirits lived forever, and nothing could kill them.  All spirits have magic at their birth according to the powers in their region.  They receive the other powers by traveling to the area that has the power and staying there for 36 days.  The other 3 races were elves, men, and dwarves.  Each of these had to learn magic in order to have it.  Elves also lived forever, but weapons and disasters could kill them.  Men had a limited life-span.  Additionally, weapons, disasters, and disease could kill them.  Dwarves also had a limited life span, but only age could kill them.  Elves and Dwarves gradually attain the powers from their area they were born by the time of adulthood.  They also were born with the ability to sculpt objects, relating to the powers of the area they were born in.  Men had to learn this ability.  Men and dwarves were born with the ability of all sorts of fighting, relating to the powers of the area they were born in.  Elves had to learn this ability.  Men and elves were born with the ability of storytelling and poetry, relating to the powers of the area they were born in.  Dwarves had to learn this ability.  The people in the front had more knowledge, could endure things longer, and had longer life-spans than the people in back.  The people in the back could have a maximum age of 4896, the people in the front could have a maximum age of 14280, and the people on the yellow equator could have a maximum age of 9588.  1632 was the age of adulthood for people.  Childbearing age for people was 1003.  All people were born 17 months after conception.

Male offspring of any of the races belong to the race of their father.  Female offspring of any of the races belong to the race of their mother.  The race an offspring belongs to is how it attains magic and how it dies.  All offspring have the capabilities of both parents.  Offspring that have limited life-spans could live longer if one parent was a spirit or elf.  These offspring could have a maximum age of 10200 for the back, 29750 for the front, and 19975 for the yellow equator.  Offspring that could be killed by weapons, disasters, or disease could endure them longer if one parent was a spirit or dwarf.

In the beginning there were 208 elves, 312 dwarves, and 416 men.  Each kind of creature started out with 120 as its population.  Half of the population of both people and creatures was male, and the other half was female.  All 8 regions, all 12 equator sections, and all 6 of the equator intersections had the same number of elves, dwarves, and men.  Each had 8 elves, 12 dwarves, and 16 men, half male, and other half female.  The main creatures were divided evenly within the regions, equator section, and equator intersection of their area.  Each had 40 creatures.  Half of them were male, and the other half was female.

Over the front equator intersection, there were 40 goodlings.  Over the back equator intersection, there were 40 badlings.  Unlike the people and creatures, these did not procreate but they increased when a person is born in their area.  They also increased when people moved into their area for the first time from somewhere else.  They were without gender.  Like the spirits, nothing could kill goodlings.  Badlings could only be killed by disaster, but only in great force.  A goodling could turn into a badling by wrong doing, but a badling could never turn into a goodling.  Each birth in the front would bring 10 goodlings to Magic Planet.  Each birth in the back would bring 10 badlings to Magic Planet.  Each time a person moved to the front (for the first time) from the yellow equator and/or from the back, 5 goodlings would be sent to the planet.  Each time a person moved to the back (for the first time) from the yellow equator and/or from the front, 5 badlings would be sent to the planet.

The spirits in each region were subject to the spirits of the three equator sections adjacent to their region.  The spirits in each equator section were subject to the spirits of the two equator intersections adjacent to their equator section.  The spirits in the equator intersection were subject to the spirits of the center.  The elves, dwarves, and men were subject to the spirits of their area.  Each creature was not subject to anyone, but they could be tamed into service.  An adult creature could never be tamed.  All females were subject to their male counterparts.  The angles and badlings were not subject to any of Magic Planet’s people, nor could they be tamed into service.  The goodlings were messengers of the planet’s Creator, and the badlings were servants of a fallen goodling.

The spirits of the equator intersections at intervals would meet with the spirits of the center.  The spirits of the center would give instruction to the spirits of the equator intersections.  The spirits of the equator intersections would pass along the instruction to the spirits of their adjacent equator sections.  Then the spirits of the equator sections would pass along the instruction to the spirits of their adjacent regions.  Then each spirit would tell the instruction to the elves, dwarves, and men of their area.  Each person could at any time report problems and suggest ideas to the ones they were subject to.  Also, all people would need to get permission to do any work that was not an instruction.  When a person was not doing an instruction, someone in charge could punish him/her.

All offspring were subject to their parents until the age of adulthood.  At adulthood, all offspring had 36 weeks from the day of adulthood to choose a place to live.  If they marry within that time, they had 36 weeks from the day of wedding to choose a place to live.  If they do not choose by the end of their time, they live in the area they are at the time.  If they do choose, they start moving there immediately.

At adulthood, all creatures would find a mate that was another creature and that was of the opposite gender, then settle down at their current location and give birth to children.  Then the male creatures would bring disasters to the people of the planet and the female creatures would rise up their children.  After battle (if it occurs), if any of the male creatures survive, they would return to their mates and give birth to more children.

Creatures that were tamed into service would do the commands of their master and/or masters.  At adulthood, if there was not a creature of the opposite gender within the household, these creatures would begin to look for a mate during their free time.  After finding a mate, they would return with it to their household.  If both were tamed into service by two different households, the female creature would move to the male creature’s home.  After returning, they would give birth to children.  The male creatures would then do the commands of the master and/or masters and the females would raise their children.  If there was one or more creature of the opposite gender in the household at adulthood, they would choose from these to be their mate; creatures left over would seek outside the household for a mate.  They would then give birth to children.  The male creatures would then return to do the commands of the master and/or masters and the females would rise up their children.

All creatures born in a household would be in service of the master and/or masters unless set free or sold.  Child creatures who were set free would find free parents which have some characteristic similar to them.  If none of the free parents had any characteristic similar to them, they would live with the closest free parents.  If there were no free parents in the planet, they would wander around the planet until the time of adulthood.

At the beginning of Magic Planet, all people and creatures started to give birth. After one generation of people, the front was nearly 4 times its original population, the back nearly 3 times its original population, and the yellow equator 2 times its original population.  The top had a few people more than the bottom, and the right had a few more people than the left. The blue equator’s population was nearly the average of top and bottom, and the red equator’s population nearly the average of left and right.  The ratios of the second generation to the first were the same as the ratios of the first generation to the original population.  This pattern continued up through the ninth generation of people.

Nearly 14688 years have passed since the beginning up to this time.  The original mortals in the front were dead about 408 years and the second generation mortals of front were still alive. The original mortals in the yellow equator were dead about 5100 years, the second generation mortals of the yellow equator dead about 3468 years, third generation dead about 1836 years, and fourth generation dead about 204 years.  The fifth generation mortals of the yellow equator were still alive.  The original mortals of the back were dead about 9792 years, the second generation dead about 8160 years, the third generation dead about 6528 years, the fourth generation dead about 4896 years, the fifth generation dead about 3264 years, the sixth generation dead about 1632 years, and the seventh generation died that year.  Morals of the eighth generation of the back were still alive.  The creatures went through 51 generations up to this time.  The first five generations of mortal creatures of the front were dead, and the sixth generation was still alive.  The first 20 generations of mortal creatures of the yellow equator were dead, and the twenty-first generation was still alive.  The first 35 generations of mortal creatures were dead, and the thirty-sixth generation was still alive.  Through all this time, all races married only people of their own race, and all their children were from their spouse.  There was no disease or war.  The disasters that the creatures gave did not kill anyone, and they were not killed.  All people and creatures stayed within their own area.

Starting with the tenth generation of people, the races began to mix.  Some mortals married immortals, and some immortals married mortals.  Other mortals married only mortals, and other immortals married only immortals.  All their children were from their spouse.  All people stayed in their own region.  With each generation, each population doubled in size.  This repeated up through the twenty-ninth generation.  Again there was no disease or war.  Also, all disasters that the creatures gave did not kill anyone even themselves.

Starting with the thirtieth generation of people, each area began to disperse.  The top began to be equal in population as the bottom, and the right equal in population as the left.  The blue equator was still the average of the top and bottom, and the red equator still the average of the left and right.

After some time, the back declared war with the front for they wanted the whole of Magic Planet to themselves.   Both sides of the yellow equator then began to tame the creatures into service.  The people on the yellow equator then began to move to each side of the equator.  Most of them moved to the front.  The elves and dwarves began to make weapons.  Dwarves and men practiced fighting.  The spirits practiced their powers.  All this was done to the time of the thirty-first generation of people, and everyone was ready.  Males of the back also began to wed multiple wives and have children with them.  Also, back people of childbearing age (but younger than adulthood age) began to mate with each other.

The war lasted up through the sixth-ninth generation of people.  Everything of the back, except for the spirits and plants, was killed.  The spirits of the back were cast into an eternal void outside Magic Planet.  Only a small percentage of the front population was killed.  Then death was destroyed, and everything left and yet to come was granted eternal life.  The entire planet was given to the people who were left.  All creatures that were left were set free, and there were no longer any disasters.  Each race still had to learn the capabilities of the others, and the method for learning them was still the same.  The goodlings afterward went to dwell with the Creator, for all of the planet's people (both present and future) have become good; yet they occasionally visited the planet from time to time.  Then each of the yellow buildings changed into a hendecagonal antiprism (to reflect the dots on the yellow moons) and was afterward used for transportation.  The people multiplied and lived in peace for many generations, and they never again did any war against each other.
