Bio:
After Princess Salno discovered her ancestral alien ability to foresee the future (or at least possible timelines) in which a golden, three-headed dragon descended to Earth and burned it to barren dust, she was content, for a time, to return to Selgina and rule with clarity and fairness.
As time moved on and monarchies began to shift out of style, Salno found herself as little more than a figurehead that a true matriarch. Ironic, considering that she herself spearheaded the democratization of her country.
But in the 90’s, with a re-emergence of monsters into the world in full force, she was approached by a Japanese envoy, organized by G-Force, who requested her aid in helping to organize the growing ESP Research Institute.
At first, Salno was hesitant. She had little desire to revisit the strange events of her past, and even if she did, the “how” of it was beyond her.
And yet, then she met with the soft-spoken, but forcefully passionate Miki Saegusa, the rising star of the ESP Institute. After meeting with her in private, Salno and Miki discussed the young woman’s theory that humanity’s emerging number of psychics was a sort of evolutionary response to the kaiju threat - possibly seeded in the far past by the Venusian refugees who co-mingled with early hominids.
Miki turned out to be the sugar needed for Salno to take this medicine; Earth was changing, and she could do more to help than stand on balconies and wave to her citizens while other men and women ran the country.
As the years passed, Salno and Saegusa were able to track down many young people who were not only showing latent psychic abilities, but also those who showed a surprising adeptness for precognition.
Salno herself, through Saegusa’s guidance, was able to reconnect with her own powers, but only for short moments and for limited range. She gradually became frustrated with her limitations, for even as she grew older, she felt that there was more she could be doing to help.
One day, while in the field, Saegusa received an emergency call from the Institute: Salno had fallen into a coma. She had evidently pushed herself too hard, and was not waking up.
Saegusa, terrified at what fate may befall her friend, rushed back to Japan.
What follows is a transcript of a half-awake Salno, having responded almost immediately to Saegusa at her bedside.
“I...am a Venusian.”
Saegusa: “...Am I addressing the entity that foretold the coming of King Ghidorah?”
“I have lived a storied life of sorrow and joy. Of darkness and kindness. Of politics and friendships. Of love...and loss.
This life, and these lives...many times over. In more ways than you can imagine. This life is but one of infinite...so many lives...all folding out from each other in an endless fractyl upon fractyls.”
Saegusa: “You say ‘many lives,’ where do you and the princess end and begin?”
“I am. We are. We all are, and we all are not.”
Saegusa: “...what does that mean? Are you or aren’t you?”
“We are the endlessly possible. We are, we have been, will be, and may never be. Many of us died on the airplane. Many lived to make it to the fisherman’s boat. Many did not.
This vessel only has so much time upon the tangible plane of existence...but we has grasped something. Something very, very far from these fleeting moments of discarnate verisimilitude.”
Saegusa: “Far from here? Far from now? The future? What did she see? What did YOU see?”
“I see...a world of green...
A world that is no longer ours...
We have been cast out. Or crushed underfoot. The children of Venus are long extinguished. Mankind flees beyond to the cold and dark. What remains hardly resembles their long absent cousins.
What rules this green world, where the air is thick and the land itself a dangerous beast, is a true god.
Beyond mankind...beyond beast...beyond kaiju.
It is a beast of green, from which life begins and ends. Of endless strength and patience. It knows no pity or fear. It only knows that the world belongs to it. And it belongs to the world. They are all but one and the same.”
Saegusa (voice breaking): “What...what IS it?”
“...Earth.”
Salno recovered not long after. She returned to Selgina to live out her remaining days, and Saegusa was at her bedside when she passed.
