All that Bella-for-Queen! talk in the latest chapters again made me wonder how the state of vampire society and its influence on human society will be handled after the inevitable fall of Volturi rule. I don’t think Bella as she is now is most equipped to realize any ambitions, be it on the planning stage or in practice. She is perhaps most ambitious though, although I would argue how healthy they are, for both vampire and human society.
I think it would be very interesting if Alicorn didn’t stop with the fall of the Volturi and instead continued with the story until Bella’s ambitions are realized, or the societies of Earth are relatively stable (and human society is currently doing a good job at eliminating life on the planet...).
Vampires are far from eternal, and have a lot of self-interest in the survival of humanity, even if they can permanently survive on the blood of other creatures. A certain amount of population of either humans or vampires is needed to achieve goals such as harnessing solar energy to create matter, or interstellar travel. Both or either of which will be necessary to avoid extinction when the Sun dies, and to have access to more resources than the Earth can provide.
If the Big Bang is a pulsating phenomena, I wonder if it’s possible to alter it or outright stop its cycle. I imagine such a task would require massive amounts of resources applied by incredible technology, and would probably be the result of much of the universe’s sentient beings’ cooperation. Humanity is very primitive in that we do not apply scientific thinking (which has proved to produce results) to adapting in the most healthy way to a constantly changing environment.
I doubt we would claim ownership over anything other than our bodies if we did; instead cooperatively striving to understand ourselves and the environment so that we can best use it to be healthy, and ensure our race’s survival by reaching out into the stars.
One another note, the reactions of all Bella’s past acquaintances when she makes her come-back as Vampire Queen of The World ought to be amusing.
I’m just amused about how the Bella For Queen talk didn’t send anyone into a panic. I guess the thought of Bella being in power, instead of the Volturi, was comforting?
Though now that I think about it, I think we did see some ruffled feathers in relation to what Bella would use Pera for. Is that it though?
