SHADOW OF THE PAST Part 1




The planets Rontesle and Musala were formed 6.2 billion years ago. After about 4.4 billion years, both developed life in a wide variety of ways. The people of Musala called themselves the Muska and the residents of Rontesle called themselves Rontulas. For a long time they knew nothing about each other, because the two planets had been 5.2 billion kilometers apart from the beginning of thinking. Only the star extoses (scientists of the 2nd dynasty of the kingdom of the Rontulas) knew Musala as a distant star that could just be seen with the most sophisticated microscope. They called him Mon-a-nee, which means "little boy with big eyes". Because around this star, as people thought at the time, two moons moved. With the imagination one could imagine it was a picture of a little boy with shining eyes. In the 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 dynasties this constellation was forgotten.A huge residential network developed on or before in Rontesle. The Rontulas had always lived in the core of the planet, as almost the entire surface was covered with water, there was only a tiny island in Sector 5/3/9 from which spaceships took off. There were many fish in the sea, but they were all very big and very ugly, gray and with sharp teeth. A colorful fish had never been seen in this lake. Nonetheless, they were easy to feed on; they had always been the main food of the Rontulas. It wasn't difficult to catch them, you just stretched a large net through one of the air locks, the Totas as they used to say, and waited for the animals to be thrown into it by the wild gusts. The culture of the Rontulas required the fish to be eaten raw, but only after two days of storage in fresh water, as otherwise it was considered unclean and dirty. The interior of the planet was like a city, only a thousand and thousand times bigger and more impressive.Buildings hung like birds' nests on the rocks, which everywhere rose like huge pillars from the floor or from the ceiling. Some of them were tiny, less than four square meters, while others looked like palaces and castles with many small and large windows. All these structures would have an opening at the top, like a hole in the roof, but that wasn't it, rather this breakthrough was used to get in and out with a glider. Towers rose hundreds of meters into the air like skyscrapers, and some of these buildings also grew from the ceiling. Most noticeable were the decorations of the buildings, which always seemed to be the same, whether large or small. First of all, all the windows were triangular and there was also a candle in each one, but it did not emit ordinary light, but had a light blue flame, like the sky on earth. A tiny white sphere shone in the cone of the flame, like a star of the universe that someone had plucked from nowhere and placed it in the candle.So every corner of the grotto was filled with bright blue light with white rays. There was no darkness here and it was never allowed to be complete, because if this situation happened, no one could light the candles. In this situation the end of the people of Rontula would have come, because here light was equated with life. It was always very warm, up to around 30 ° C, but they had adapted to that. Electric light was alien to them, but their technology had matured very early. In the 6th dynasty, researchers and technicians developed a type of robot. The prototype was still very incomplete, couldn't coordinate its movements on its own, and couldn't do anything except roll straight ahead. It was also too large and bulky, three meters in circumference, to serve any purpose. In addition, there were often short circuits in the circuits and accidents due to incorrect programming. Once, in an explosion in one of the laboratories where the robots were developed, three of the scientists were killed.The explosion had triggered an overloaded engine that had received wrong orders from the control center. But all these events did not prevent the development from moving further and faster. At some point, many years later, in the 8th dynasty of the Rontesle Empire, a brilliant technician created a fully operational robot that carried out commands at the push of a button. It was smaller, more agile and equipped with knowledge of the history of the planet. You could compare it to an archive, an archive on wheels. But the level of evolution was soon overtaken by a kind of cyborg that did what its owner ordered. His body structure resembled that of a human being, he walked on two legs, had arms and a head that was able to think in a restricted but somewhat independent manner. It was used for the construction of even higher buildings and as a house robot, as it did all things very reliably. He kept this position for a long time.

But not only cyborgs, but also certain types of missiles and airplanes were built here. The rockets served to open up the planet, in other words, they were used to blow up the rock in order to gain more space. The second was needed to get around, since the city was neither entirely built on the floor nor entirely on the ceiling, but in the middle of it. There have always been 7 different floors in the planet. They were built up as if you were drawing lines through a sphere and always taking roughly the same distance. King Hebge's castle was on the fourth floor. It was also called "The Core of the Planet" because the city was right in the middle. You could get to the next one from each floor through a hole measuring about 200 square meters. Airplanes were used for this purpose; every inhabitant of this planet possessed them. They were different in shape and color, but none was longer than 10 meters, as the buildings were built so close together that otherwise there would have been a constant risk of accidents.You could see from the planes who had power and money here and who was just a poor eater. Few aircraft were decorated and equipped with jet propulsion, most had an engine that drove at a normal speed (on Rontesle) of 80 kilometers per hour. In a school on this planet, the first thing you learned was how to control such a device. When you reached the age of 1. Dynaste (10 earth years), you were allowed to own your own glider, later with 1½ Dynaste (15 earth years) also an airplane.


The people of Rontesle are very proud of their technical and economic achievements. Their appearance is similar to that of an African American, because all of them have light or slightly darker brownish skin, although very few of them have seen the sun before. Their physique can also be compared to that of a human being, but they never grow more than 1.65 meters. The greatest specialty is their eyes, as they often have the colors gold, silver or steel gray to shiny metallic.They glow even in the dark and some suspect that at some point the bright stars in the wondrous candles of the Rontulas simply passed over to their eyes. But this was only one theory among many, one legend among many that grew up around this people. They are very different in terms of clothing. There are different pieces of clothing that can be found on every resident, but also things that only a single person owns. This is because there are not many clothing manufacturers and therefore everything except pants and tops has to be sewn yourself. The status of a Rontula was therefore not to be recognized by his external appearance, but rather by the size of his house and the appearance of his airplane. But there was no one who was really poor, because the economy was as ever in full bloom. As always, there was a hustle and bustle in the markets, where everyone offered what they had just bought themselves or what had been made by them.The people owed all of this to their King Hebge the First of Fallernara, for things had steadily improved since he took office. Now in the year 46739003, when his grandson Hebge the Third ruled, (2002 human time) the planet had reached the height of its development, but something threatened its luck: the discovery of Musala, which had taken place about 30,000 years earlier, by a team of Researchers who wanted to find new planets to trade on and the emergence of conflicts over the rise of Arondel Sumagon Schatza from Musala to the rulership of the planet Musala and the enforcement of his dictatorship. The King of Rontesle knew from ancient writings that something like this could be dangerous for his people and the planet. The documents, which originally came from Musala and had only accidentally fallen into Hebge's hands, told of a war triggered by envy and hatred. A war that Musala, led by a dictator, won 546,800 years ago, but at the cost of destroying the enemy, total destruction.It was about the rank of the most powerful in the universe and about power over the abilities of the planet Husal to make things shine. And in spite of the time that had passed since then, the king believed he recognized a threat in Musala's government, for his people were masters of the starlight that was trapped in the candles, even if no one except the Rontulas knew about it these could still be used for something else, he didn't want to take any chances. He slowly but steadily let all trade contracts expire, but then never signed any new ones with the planet and withdrew half of his people. And soon it turned out that it hadn't been a mistake to look worried and restless towards what was to come.


Arondel Sumagon Schatza was a muska with a purpose. A great, meaningful, and cruel goal. One in which no mercy would be allowed, no pity, no feeling ...


Thirteen years ago, Schatza appeared for the first time as a speaker at a political meeting with the king of the planet Musala, where the monarchy had ruled until 467399905.His speech was as follows: "People of Musala, what splendor the universe receives through your face. How you weigh and thrive in your diversity of strength and beauty. But we are still found to be
