Shintiara - Fiction Story Contest
Shintiara
“Honey, are you sure you want that stuffed talking animal?” said Byron. Being a great scientist, he hoped his little girl will want something else for her birthday gift, something to test her brain limits.
“But daddy it's my ninth birthday and I want teddy bear that talks!!” cried out Tiara. Byron reluctantly agreed, and Tiara reached for the bear. As she touched the bear they both disappeared. Byron was terrified, as his little girl vanished in front of his eyes. He knew, Muyra’s temporal paradoxes can do scary things, though he never imagined that it could happen to his family. Crushed, after losing Tiara, he fell on the floor and started crying.
Years later in Arrak the largest Shintiara's desert, under a yellow light of the Murya’s sister star, greatest minds of the time brain stormed a solution to try and break free from Muyra’s gravitational field. Byron Arioch was the brilliant mind whose idea all backed up, and the honors of starting the escape process fell on him. This was his way of getting back to Murya, once so pleasant and warm star with blueish light, now a devastating natural phenomenon.
After a long day, Byron fell asleep with smile on his face for the first time in a while. A vengeance, the only thing that kept him alive, was now in grasp. He can almost feel the joy, because he knew that inevitable repercussion of the process he started leads to something big.
In his dreams he said to Teddy, a bearlike imaginary friend “Finally it’s happening! Thank you so much for the help my dear friend.”. The bear he wanted to purchase to his daughter was now his best friend, even though he lives in his dreams. With those words spoken in his dream, something strange happened to Byron. He was back in a store with his daughter hugging the bear. Bear winked to Byron and pointed to the sky. Byron looked to the skies and saw that Muyra is shining as bright as the movies he liked to watch while he was younger. There was no trace of Muyra’s sister star. “We wanted to change the future… Have we made it, Teddy?” whispered Byron, thanking the heavens Tiara is back with him.

Wow! This is so good! I'm very astounded by the amount of wild fantasy the @f3nix post has kick-started...resteemed and good luck for the contest!
Thank you very much!!!
Your piece was so prolific of ideas that could be born from it.. excellent! I love the character of Byron Arioch and the flashback before the Arioch anomaly. With a bit of stardust here and there this could be a great work. I think it's very interesting the personal motivation and vengeance that pushes him to fight the paradoxes. Thumbs up!
Thank you for the compliments. The general idea was to have a charachter as a center figure around which most of the story builds up, but again leave small hints to link it with your script. In that way this story is dependant to your script if you want to have bigger picture. But its was also made as an emotional rollercoaster of the main charachter as a standalone story.
And that's exactely why I made a script this time, and probably will do that again
