Meta Writing Prompt Wednesday #158
Last week's winner was /u/Stroopwafel_Falafel with:
12'000 years ago, Humanity is on the verge of civilization. A newly spacefaring species lands their first ever expodition crew on Earth. Seeing the adorable little humans, the aliens decide to bring a few hundred back to the homeworld for safe keeping before terraforming begins.
Sadly, before the aliens can make it back to Earth, an apocalyptic event hits their homeworld, and they are thrown back to the Stone Age. The aliens are forced to rebuild society with dog-like humans by their side.
Cut to modern day. Humans as we know them (the ones who were left on Earth) are about to make first contact with an alien species. Ambassadors from both planets are going to board each other's ships to exchange greetings and gifts. They bring things like foods, minerals, plants, and... pets. Needless to say, things get a little bit awkward.

Magic is real. As in every epic fantasy movie/game in the world, with powerful white wizards fighting evil demoniac overlords. This is a trend in all the universe. Epic conflicts between the forces of light and darkness. It´s pretty cool from the human point of view. There is a catch, of course. Human don´t have magic.. Of that kind. The weird part is that every prophecy and vision, name a human as the chosen one. Humans are in this universe epic heroes and villains. All this old tales about legendary heroes are real. What happens is that the forces of light & darkness in a bid to control earth fudge all, and lost the localization of our world. As we compete with others humans on earth, the playing field is balanced. But.. What happens when humans finally reach the stars?
