“But if you refuse to let them go, behold, I will plague all your country with frogs. The Nile shall swarm with frogs that shall come up into your house and into your bedroom and on your bed and into the houses of your servants and your people, and into your ovens and you’re kneading bowls. The frogs shall come up on you and on your people and on all your servants.”’” And the Lord said to Moses, “Say to Aaron, ‘Stretch out your hand with your staff over the rivers, over the cbrown towns and over the pools, and make frogs come up on the land of Egypt!’” So Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt, and the frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt.” - Exodus 8:2-14
The production and effect of the alternate future is always in effect, yet those who trust the change see no difference.
The year is unknown, the stench of frogs is the stench of what we used to call air. Any humans who believe their survival is needed attempt to prosper. Those who refer to other humans as anything other than scum are punished. As scum they are, punished to the water. Yet, although the humans fear and despise their overlords, their true leaders, the frogs, emotion is such a wild and differentiating thing. For this reason, through the hatred and fear, there is an emotion long-lost between the humans, an emotion that those who dare to feel it are scared, because attachment and strong emotion is what makes them weaker. Yes, the emotion is love.
A human, by the name of Mondak, was forced to please the frogs, with their power and reign of fear, could feel all the emotion, without attempting to hide it. Yet, some days, Mondak felt like there wasn’t always a need for their job to be forced. There was one, the one who through whispers and through the power of forbidden love, told Mondak their name. Although communication to the two races was forbidden, the power of one bypassing such a dangerous law to offer love to someone is a sign of “true love.” If that was an existing phrase, that is. Yes, the frog was Savefrog. A frog of high value and power, who was respected by all frogs, and feared by most humans. Most, as in, all but Mondak. The lover, the one who punished themselves mentally when they thought of “dirty” scenes, acts of love with themselves and Savefrog.
The area was set, wooden structures supporting the set concrete ground, above the water where frogs used to spend their days before the uprising. Although often not located in eygpt, the water was still water, and therefore still their place of birth. Such important events were held here. The stage upon the structure carved stone, intericate drawings of the god ”Vault boy” acting out different powers and punishments. Savefrog themselves, standing upon the stage, with the company of two Royal T.O.A.Ds, (Total Overdriven Active Defense) standing guard, with sharpened spears. The audience, eager to hear the royal speak, gathered below the stage. With a ribbit, Savefrog began to speak.
”Society, these days, often believes that humans are pure scum and nothing else.” Savefrog began, pausing as the audience murmured in confusion or anger. Mentioning the name of the humans, as stated before, was forbidden. ”Let me continue.” Savefrog added, the audience beginning to trust them more as one who was held in great value, often spoke words of such value. ”Yes, the water dwellers bring nothing but filth to our society, as we all know.”
”Yet, those who aid us, such as the slaves or dancers, bring pleasure, and joy, and with such, those who bring joy should be rewarded, not punished for joy.”
The crowds busy, yet respectful chatter was a mix of agreement and disagreement. Most wondered if Savefrog had been permitted to speak about such a conterivisial event.
”This is why I will be starting the new generation of species, created to help us, as workers, friends, but never foes.”
Gasps of astonishment, this was surely not permitted by the high frog council. The T.O.A.Ds, realizing such, quickly turned their spears to Savefrog. Censorship, the humans are not to be interactive.
”Halt, do watch first.” Savefrog said cautiously, pushing down the angled spears of the T.O.A.Ds.
Savefrog let out a loud ribbit, the amount of sound sending the water into small waves. With this, Mondak appeared in front of them, nude, their body sending the frogs gasping and looking away. There was no way Savefrog would ever live through this.
Mondak blushed, shaming themselves for this, yet being confused, as they do not remember being here. Savefrog slowly expanded their size, growing to be twice as large, so they towered above Mondak, yet their clothes did not expand as well, the cloth splitting open and revealing Mondaks frog richard.
”The production and effect of the alternate future is always in effect, yet those who trust the change see no difference.” Savefrog bellowed, pushing their genital into the gasping Mondak, filling the crevice that they used to create feces. Pleasure, love, an act of future. The future would change, but perhaps not in the percieved or expected way. An event that not even one who could change time could prevent. It was bound to happen.
The crowd began to look, watching as Mondak made sounds of pleasure, as the outline of Savefrogs genital pushed up the interior of their stomach. The size was big, but the pleasure, the act of love, was bigger. The crowd began to clap, this crude, yet thoughtful event, would bring on the future. They realized this now, and instead of attempting to fight, simply stared in awe. With one final push, Savefrog released the frog eggs into Mondak, promising the future, as they dropped to the ground.
The event complete, the act done, there was nothing else to do but to leave.
And thus began the evolution of froghumans, and in a few years, the downgrade of frogs, as they realized their reign was over, yet again. The humans, or rather, froghumans would rise, at least, for now.
