Chapter I

The Green World

The young man was bent over, his hands were on his knees He was gulping in

huge breaths of air. Beads of perspiration trickled from his forehead down to the

bridge of his nose. He watched them drop to the ground. It was getting easier.

He raised his head and looked at the Master, standing at the doorway to the

House. The Master stood there smiling at him.

How does he do that? the young man wondered. He is nearly three times myage and yet he left me far behind. ow he stands there...smiling. How does he do

that?

Matu put his head down and watched the beads of sweat fall from his face to

the ground again. !s he watched, one of them almost struck a tiny ant scurrying

past his feet. The ant shuddered for a split second and then returned to his travels.

Matu kept watching. He leaned forward. !nother droplet was on the end of nose .

Moving so that he was directly over the ant, he watched as the drop fell and again

nearly struck the ant. "nce again, the tiny black ant stopped and shuddered... and

then continued on.

#oes he see me? Matu wondered. Is he aware that I am the cause of the

great rain and thunder that he suffers? He wondered. #oes this tiny ant believe that

his labors on this earth will earn him a greater reward in an afterlife? #oes he believein an afterlife? Matu looked intently at the ant. !re you aware, little one, that I

e$ist...and that I can put an end to your life with no more than a whim as my

motive?

Then suddenly it dawned on him.

He stood up and looked up into the sky. !re there beings up there that I

cannot see? he wondered. !re there beings that I cannot see, that I cannot

comprehend...and yet, they have power of %ife and #eath over me as I have the

power of %ife and #eath over the tiny ant? &an I see them? he wondered...even if I

try? He scanned the sky. !re the clouds the footprints of beings so large that I

cannot see them? he wondered to himself. He stared at the sky for a long time. !re

they up there? he wondered.

'hen finally he looked down again, the Master was right in front of him.(It is time, Matu...( Master )er lyr said, (...it is time that you learn the history

of the !ncient "nes*.(

Matu was shocked...and he was pleased. It was one of the things that he had

wanted to learn about since he had +oined the "rder. He smiled.

(et your papers, Matu...( the -lder said. Meet me in the library as soon as

you have washed and changed... I will wait for you there.(

Matu nodded to him and nearly ran up the stairs to his room.



Matu changed and made his way to the %ibrary. )er was there, looking out of

the window at the setting sun. !s Matu entered, )er turned to him.

(This will be the first review of the history of the stars of our gala$y which you

must learn, Matu...( the -lder began. Begin slowly, listen carefully to the names and

learn the words which I shall teach you. ou will see them again and again, and you

will need to know how to use the words and how to decipher them.

Matu nodded as he sat down. The e$citement still held him. The words of the

*!ncient "nes*, the secret language...it was his dream come true. He placed the

capers carefully beside him, easily within his grasp. He had learned to heed his

Master*s words well. In but a few weeks with his teacher, he had written pages and

pages filled with words and names. His scroll was full of notations and scraps of

information which he had managed to career over the course of the first few

conversations with the -lder.

(%ong, long ago...( )er began, (...there was nothing, Matu. There was no

light, there was no dark and there was no essence...there was only...othingness.(

Matu sat at his table, trying to imagine what nothing was like. o light? o

dark? How could such a thing be? He wondered.

(!fter the //!H e$haled...( )er continued.Matu remembered the story of the e$haling of the 0oid. !nd how the (!ncient

"nes* had believed the 0oid to be the /niversal 1emale giving birth to the universe.

(The essence of the /niverse came spilling out from the center of the void

Herself...( )er said, making grand sweeping gestures with his hands. (2wirling and

tossing, wave after wave of *waters of essence* crashed out into the othingness.(

(!s the ancient streams of the energies of the /niverse arc of %ife itself flowed

outwards, they formed huge swirling columns of black *essence* billions and billions

of miles long, looking like giant serpents twisting and turning through the reat

othing. 2ometimes they slithered off into the othingness by themselves...but

sometimes...sometimes they swirled together, like huge primordial snakes, writhing

and +oining as if they were in a giant mating dance. &rashing and colliding together,

they spun around each other...faster andfaster with every new moment. They s3uee4ed and crushed into each other, causing

heat and enormous pressures between their entwined bodies...(

He stopped and looked directly at Matu.

(!nd there, Matu...there in the midst of their gigantic writhing, the very first

atoms of the /niverse were born...( )er said to him. (In the *#ance of &reation* of

the first serpent5like primordial strands of essence... the first atoms were born.(

Matu was mesmeri4ed. He was completely caught up in the images in his

head. iant snakes of the original stuff of the /niverse...no light no dark...*something*

spilling out into nothing. -ssence serpents, s3uirming and twisting

together...!ma4ing6 he thought to himself. !bsolutely ama4ing6

(There in the bodies of the snakes of creation, the atoms began to multiply.

2imple atoms of hydrogen were born. Time and time again, the crushing dance ofthe primordial serpents pressed together the first atoms of the /niverse6( )er

continued.

(!nd then suddenly...( )er paused.

Matu leaned slightly forward.

(B""M6(

Matu +umped6



)er smiled at him and moved to his favorite

chair. Matu was surprised at the -lder*s

sudden outburst.

(2omething happened, Matu. There in the middle of the passion dance of the

giant swirling serpentine essences that could fill a /niverse...there a tiny spark was

ignited6 !nd that tiny little spark, Matu... that tiny little spark made all the difference

in our /niverse.(

Matu knew there was a message for him in )er*s words.

(! spark of passion created our /niverse...?( he offered with a bit of

hesitance.

)er smiled.

(Bravo, Matu6( he said to the apprentice as he leaned forward. (1rom the

tiniest spark of passion can come an entire /niverse6 ou can create a whole new

world with but one tiny spark of true passion, my young friend. ever forget that,

Matu...from one tiny spark of pure passion...a /niverse can be born6(

Matu nodded his understanding. He loved the insights that )er offered.

(That spark, and the other sparks of passion that were freed by the creatordance of these enormous snakes of essence, they set off a series of e$plosions that

changed the /niverse forever6 Because suddenly, Matu...suddenly the darkness of

the /niverse was filled with the e$plosions of the first suns6(

)er paused.

Matu looked at the -lder, wondering what was

ne$t. (!nd then...( )er said simply, (...then there

was light.(

Matu sat back with a smile on his face. 2o there it is, he thought to himself.

1rom giant writhing strands of essence that had come from the 0oid, the atoms and

the gases and the suns of the /niverse had been born. !nd then there was %ight...

Matu grinned.

(But wait...( he suddenly sat up. (Is that how %ife was formed, Master? In the bodiesof the serpents of creation? 'as %ife formed in the dance of creation as you said?(

)er looked at the young man.

(In the dance of creation, the atoms of %ife were formed... yes. But the

essence of %ife, Matu...the essence of %ife was in the breath e$haled by the 0oid...(

he answered.

Matu sat silently, staring at the -lder, trying to figure out the words. The

*atoms of %ife* and the *essence of %ife*, he repeated to himself. The essence of %ife

was already in the *breath* of the 0oid...does that mean that %ife e$isted from the

moment of the birth of the /niverse? But if that is true...

)er began again, interrupting Matu*s thoughts.

(!gain and again, the writhing primordial serpents crushed together, forming

more gases and creating more sparks. !gain and again, more suns were born.

2wirling together in a bright shining whirlpool, they came together, spinning furiously

like a giant merry5go5round that was billions and billions of light years across.(

Matu tried to keep up. He tried to imagine the mating of giant universal

serpents of *essence*...and the birth of stars.

(These were the gala$ies of the /niverse, Matu6( )er was smiling again. (In

time, one of those swirling gala$ies would come to be known as -7I#!/2.(

Matu wrote down the name.



)er stood up and walked to the window.

('hat you are about to learn, Matu, is the history of the gala$y of -7I#!/2

and some of the stars and the star beings of the gala$y...but in particular, my friend,

we shall speak of the history of one tiny planet in that gala$y...and the origins of a

group of star beings known as...Humankind.(

Humankind6 Humankind6 Matu was e$cited...and he was nervous. He really wantedto know8that was why he had tried so hard to make the "rder choose him. He did

not know what the Truth was, maybe he wouldn*t like it... but he had to know.

He had actually had moments of doubt in those first months. -very time Master )ershowed him something, another of the Truths he had always held to was undone. */p

is down...black is white...and everything you have ever been taught is a lie.* Thosewere some of the first words he had heard from )er. They were hard to hear in the

beginning, but the more he learned, the more Matu found them to be true. !nd itmade him angry. ot at )er, but at the education system that had betrayed him...and

Humankind.'hen he had +oined the "rder it was for his own reasons, for his own purposes. He

had been searching for the Truth for himseif. But now, now he remained for anotherreason... for a more important reason...now he remained for his daughter*s sake. Hedidn*t want her to be betrayed as he was.

He turned to look at his mentor.

)er recogni4ed the look. It was the look of compassion...and determination. It wasgood. This was the look that all teachers searched for. )er returned to the table

where Matu was sitting.)er began again...In the swirling new gala$ies, Matu...the process of creation

continued. 2wirling in on themselves, the gala$ies continued to press the essencestogether, pounding and crushing it into primitive atoms. Then, here and there...again

and again...there was an e$plosion. ! fiercely burning star fell in on itself until ite$ploded. Bursting outward, the e$ploding star created newer and more powerful

energies...and from the center of the fiery e$plosion, more atoms were formed. But

these, Matu, these atoms were more comple$ than the primitive atoms of oneelectron and one proton. These had four, five and si$ electrons in their outershells...with +ust as many protons in its heart. !toms of carbon, nitrogen and o$ygen

were formed...flung out into the gala$y to +oin with other atoms formed from otherstars that had e$ploded.(

)er paused.(1rom the chaos of dancing stars came the atoms of the elements of our bodies,

Matu...( he said. ('e are the children of the fury of a dancing star that gave itself tothe gala$y and to the /niverse. 'e are born of gigantic e$plosions and super5

novas...we walk in bodies that were once stars. !re we star people, Matu?es...literally.(

Matu was stunned. 'e really are *2tar )eople* he thought to himself. 'e are STAR

people6 My od, what does that say of us?)er leaned forward with his brows furrowed.Matu seldom saw such a serious look on the Master*s face.

(In the time of the first e$plosions of stars...in the time of the formations of the very

first primitive marriage of electrons and protons...this, Matu...this was the original!tom and the -ve of &reation.(

Matu*s eyes popped open.

)er leaned back and smiled at him.



Matu almost burst out laughting. ood one, Master6 Matu thought to himself. oodone, Master. ou got me. .

(Many times this happened, Matu...( )er continued. (1rom the writhing dance of theprimordial snakes of essence...from the first5born stars that grew and fell in on

themselves ...from the super e$plosions of stars a thousand times larger than ourown sun...the atoms of the gala$y and of %ife itself were formed. &louds of gas a

million degrees hot and gravity that would make a pinhead weigh a million pounds,each gala$y swirled and spun its own atoms, as if it were cooking its own broth of%ife and 2ubstance.(

Matu could almost feel the heat.

(!toms began to cling together, tiny little partnerships of two and three atoms,holding tightly to each other. Then another...and another. -ach new particle +oining

to make the colony of atoms stronger. Too tiny to be seen by the eye, thesemicroscopic colonies swirled together in the gigantic primordial whirlpool. 1rom these

colonies of atoms, Matu, the gases and solids of the gala$y were born. ! hundredyears, a thousand years... a million years later...some of the colonies of atoms grew

to become tiny specks of dust. Then another thousand years later, the colonies ofspecks of dust grew larger, becoming pebbles...then rocks...then boulders. In the

giant mi$ing bowl of primitive elements that swirled around infant stars, a small glob

of rock and gas was forming, becoming larger and larger. In the swirling womb of thegases and dust...*In the swirling womb of gases. Matu anticipated, a planet was about to be born.

...! small world was being created...( )er finished. (But there were more elementsthat needed to be added. The atoms of newly born gases had also begun to collect

around the building primitive worlds. ases, sometimes trapped between the stonesin the crust of the new world and sometimes from inside the stones themselves,

were released by the tremendous heat at the core of the infant planet. Here andthere on the surface of the forming world, small clouds of nitrogen and o$ygen

gathered. %ike a tiny puff of smoke at first making its wispy way across the shiftingland plates...the gases slipped through the dust and gas. 2ometimes the hydrogen

and o$ygen gases trapped in the slowly forming worlds were crushed together to

form water droplets. 2lowly or through an internal e$plosion, the water particlesmade their way to the surface. 2ometimes the tiny molecules came from a hurtling

stone that was flung through space by another e$ploding world. In many differentways, tiny little droplets of water gathered and covered the primordial cooling crust

of the new world.(7ain? Matu thought to himself.

(&louds smaller than your hand, Matu...( )er described. (rowing larger, forming

larger and larger clouds...they cooled and warmed, cooled and warmed, again andagain over millions of years in the process. -ventually, droplets condensed...and rain

fell.(It is always so simple when )er e$plains it, Matu thought.

("n the thin hardening crust, the heated stone layers turned each droplet of rain intosteam. The vapori4ed drops of water rose upwards...and were cooled. !nd the

process began again. !s the cycle continued, the ball of hot rocks became a globe ofmolten stone with a hardened and cooled crust. 2team was everywhere, gases

circulated through the atmosphere. Here, Matu...were the beginnings of a newworld.(

Matu could imagine the steamy world.(In time, as the steam condensed into droplets and fell once again on the surface of

the new world, some of the drops remained in small puddles on the surface. Moredrops fell... puddles became ponds, ponds became lakes, and lakes became oceans.



The heat and steam were everywhere...but the birth was near complete. ! steamymisty world complete with land and sea had formed.(

)er was making sweeping gestures with his arms. Matu en+oyed watching the -lderget carried away by his teachings.

("ceans tossed and turned and crashed on virgin shores, the cooling lands e$pandedand contracted. -normous cracks formed, mountains were pushed upwards and

others were forced under the creeping plates of land. 0olcanoes e$ploded, eruptingand adding their molten innards to the surface, sometimes creating towering peaks,other times creating small islands. 7ain and snow storms moved inland, pounding

away at the craggy mountain5tops, covering them with ice and snow. "n the highest

peaks, melting snow formed small ponds and lakes, then turned into rivers thatmade their way down to the lands below.(

(&reation, Matu...( )er emphasi4ed. (&reation is a wondrous thing, to see a planetbeing formed is no less a miracle than watching the birth and development of a child.

It is the miracle of %ife on a grand scale. ! child is born...a world is born, both amiracle of &reation.(

Matu loved these stories.

)er paused for a moment to let the images sink into his apprentice*s mind.(In time, Matu...in time, the violence of birth calmed to a roar. &onstantly moving

and always creating, the oceans became calmer. !t times, in fact, they were almostsilent...( )er began again, (...at least on the surface. But do not be fooled, Matu.

'hat you see on the surface is not always an indication of what goes on underneath.1or there, in the deepest regions of the virgin seas, small pockets of newly formed

%ife began to gather.(('ait...wait, Master...9 Matu stopped )er. (-$cuse me, but was not %ife born of

lightning bolts that flashed through the gases that had collected on the surface of thewaters?(

('ell, done...( )er smiled at the apprentice. (es, it is true that one can create thenecessary elements for physical %ife by sending a lightning bolt through primordial

gases, but so can the heat and gases emitted by an underwater volcano also bringforth the elements of %ife. The falling of a comet into the waters of a new world, the

e$plosion of a star, the collision of two small worlds...that too can create theelements of %ife...any number of events can create them. Be not 3uick to commit to

only one possibility.(Matu had not thought about an underwater volcano. I guess it could happen, he

thought to himself. !nd a falling comet could do it too.(!nd...(

Matu almost dreaded the *!nd* that would occasionally pop up in )er*s teachings. Itwas usually a revelation that Matu had not even thought of.

(...when you create the elements of %ife...( )er said, (...you do not create %ife, you

only create the foundation blocks that could sustain %ife.(Matu was surprised.

(!re you saying, -lder...( he wondered, (...that %ife did not begin with that first boltof lightning?(

)er smiled. ('hen you create an engine out of metal, you have created the shell that

could move enormous vehicles or hurtle airplanes through the air. But you have notproduced a creation that moves on its own, it needs a driving force, an impetus.*

(It needs fuel...( Matu offered.(It needs fuel...( )er agreed. (It needs a motivating force.(

Matu thought for a moment.(&onsciousness?( he wondered aloud.



(It has been called consciousness...( )er answered. (It has been called the soul andit has been called the *higher self.(

Matu thought about it for another fleeting moment.('here did the consciousness come from then, Master?( he asked. (2urely not from

the lightning bolt or the gases?()er smiled again. ('ell done, Matu...no, the consciousness was not born of a bolt of

lightning or a cloud of gas.(He stopped. Matu knew something was coming.(It was born of the Breath of the 0oid...( )er said. (The consciousness of the 0oid

filled the newly born /niverse as did the essence of %ife. The birth of the elements of

%ife produced only the shell which would later house the consciousness...(Matu leaned forward, ready to ask his ne$t 3uestion.

(...and how that happened, Matu...we shall save for a later time.*)er smiled that devilish smile again.

Matu sat back. #amn it6 he thought to himself. He did it to me again6)er sipped at a drink he had before him, letting Matu*s thoughts run wild.

)er put his drink down.

(It has happened in many, many different ways in our /niverse, Matu. "n someworlds of distant gala$ies, the first cell of %ife was born from an underwater volcano,on another world it was born from a lightning bolt streaking through a cloud of water

and gas. ! storm of ioni4ed gas penetrated by meteorite, an e$ploding star flingingthe elements of %ife through space into some far distant waters of a planet light

years away...in as many ways as there are stars, in countless ways in countlessgala$ies, the first cells of %ife were born in the /niverse.(

2o %ife was not +ust born on one single planet, Matu thought to himself. But then...('ere all the cells the same, Master?( he wondered. ('ere all the original cells of

%ife the same in their make5up?()er smiled again at the young man. (o...( he answered. (They were not the same,

Matu. The wonder of the /niverse is that there are many, many forms of %ife, each

with its own shape and make5up. There were thousands and thousands of differentcells that were born in the gala$ies. -ach ceil gave birth to a different race of beings,

and each race was born to a different path. %ook not at the /niverse and assumethat all %ife is as we see it, young Matu. -ven in our own gala$y. %ife comes in many

forms.()er leaned forward and directed his full attention to Matu.

(7emember this, Matu...( he said in a most serious tone. (The ant climbing on the

side of a tree cannot recogni4e the man who stands staring at him. Man is not in therealm of perception of the ant, Man is an inconceivable form of %ife to him. His

senses are not capable of registering the complete form of Man.(He saw me6 Matu was suddenly started5 He saw me watching that ant6

(2o too, the senses of Humankind are unable to register the forms of %ife beyond ourcomprehension. The best of our scientific inventions are but an e$tension of our

senses. To the ant, Matu, we are so large, so incomprehensible that he cannotimagine that we are a form of %ife. 'e are so big, that he cannot imagine how such

an enormous *thing* could possibly contain %ife as he knows it. 2o too, Matu, humanbeings cannot imagine how such a tiny creature could possibly contain a %ife of

consciousness as we know it.((#oes an ant have a concept of an afterlife? #oes an ant believe in a od of ants?

#oes an ant have a sense of right and wrong? In our perception, he does not. Butthat is because the ant does not live according to our concepts of right and wrong.

Humans believe themselves to be superior to the ant. But why, Matu? 'hy are we



superior? Because we can change our environment? Is that a sign of wisdom...or asign of ignorance of the balance of nature?(

(%ook to any city streets, Matu...is the scurrying around of human beings in theireveryday lives any different from the scurrying which the ant does? !re the cities of

humans any different from the colonies of ants? !re the wars of human beings anydifferent from the wars of ants? If the millions of years of e$istence of our planet

reveals anything, Matu...it is that the ant colony is dedicated to the common good ofthe ant...while the human colonies are dedicated to the good of an elite few.7emember this, Matu...the ants have been here for millions of years, adapting to

their environment and coe$isting with it. Human beings, for all their supposed

superiority, have been destroying their environment. 'hen the food sources forhumans are gone, the ant will continue to survive and thrive. 'hen the comet strikes

the earth and obliterates %ife as we know it, the ant will survive. 'hat then shall wesay about the 'ill of od which so many human beings place such great faith in? !re

human beings truly the *&hosen "nes* that His #ivine Hand will spare...or are the*lowly ants*, as we arrogantly refer to them, are they the true *&hosen "nes* who will

be spared?(Matu was stunned. My od, he thought to himself. It is true. If there is such a thing

as an *obedient servant*, it is the ant. 'e destroy the gifts that od gave us, the

world and our own people, we destroy ourselves...while the ant continues to servethe entire colony. I can*t believe it, he marveled. The ant accomplishes what we canonly dream about. If there is a od, the ant is His obedient servant.

)er sat back to let the words sink in.Matu sat silently for a moment. (!n ant cannot see me, sir...: he began. (That I can

understand. But what then, Master, what must be hidden from me...simply because Iam a human being?(

(That is precisely the point, Matu...( )er answered. (If you desire to gain the 'isdomof the !nt, you must think iike the !nt. If you wish to gain the wisdom of the "wl.

you must think like an "wl...and if you wish to gain the 'isdom of 2tar Beings, youmust stop thinking like a Human being...you must think like a 2tar Being6(

Matu marveled at the simplicity of the words...and the difficulty of them. Matu was

about to ask a 3uestion when )er began again.(In the gala$y of -7I#!/2, there are as many %ife forms as there are stars, Matu.

!nd here is a curious thing, my young friend. In this gala$y, in our gala$y...thehumanoid form is the general path that all life forms take. It is not, as many might

think, the e$ception. ;uite the contrary, it is the general rule.(Matu remembered the many %ife forms that the Master had described to him before.

There were humanoids in the gala$y who had evolved from ancestors that were

insects, and there were humanoids who had evolved from fish ancestors. There werehumanoids descended of reptiles, birds and even forms of %ife that Matu was sure he

would never even see in his lifetime. This was not hard for Matu, we human beingswere, after all, descended from ancestors who were apes, he knew that. But the

reptilian humanoids...human beings born of reptilian ancestors...that fascinated him.('ill you speak of the reptilian beings again?( Matu asked his teacher.

)er looked at his young student.('e must, Matu...( he answered. (1or they are the source of the institutions of

Humankind. They are the reason why we are here.(Matu was never comfortable when )er said that. 2omehow the thought of reptilian

beings as the guiding force for Humankind seemed repugnant to Matu.)er saw the discomfort in his apprentice.

(It is something which you must learn, Matu...( he reminded the youth. ('hat isimportant to know in the pursuit of Truth is this< Truth does not reside in what should

be or what could be, Truth resides in what is.(



(But are we then to set aside our dreams of what could be or what ought to be,Master?( Matu asked.

(o, Matu...( the -lder responded. (#reams and thoughts of what could be are whatgive us our goals, they give us reason to move and achieve. But in order to ac3uire

those goals and those dreams, we can only utili4e what is. 7emember this, Matu, nocarpenter ever built a house by arguing what could happen if he had a hammer or if

he had nails. o one ever built a house by complaining that he ought to have ahammer or that he ought to have some nails. The house is built by the person whouses what is at hand. ! carpenter should have a hammer, but if only stones are

available, he uses the stone as a hammer. ! carpenter should have a saw, but if no

saw is available, he uses an a$e or a knife. ! 'arrior uses what is at hand, andfocuses not on what he or she should have.(

Matu mulled over the words of the -lder. Truth lies in what is... not what ought to beor what could be. ! 'arrior uses what is at hand, how simple, he said to himself,

how simple. )er sat back again.

(7est now, Matu...( he said. ('hen we sit again, I want to talk about the worlds of

the stars of "rion... and the ;ueen who is the source of all of the religions ofHumankind.(Matu sat in awe for a moment, staring at his Teacher. How much will you share with

me, he wondered. How much of what you really know will you share with me, -lder?he pondered. He could only hope. !s he rose to leave to take his time to rest, he

turned back to look at the -lder.The -lder )er was looking up at the stars.

Matu had gone for a walk in the trees beyond the reat House. The silence of theforest seemed to act as a blanket protecting Matu from the outside world and from

petty thoughts of life in the city. He was alone with his thoughts, his best

companions.* 2ometimes he battled with them, sometimes he challengedthem...oftentimes he found that he had been betrayed by the thoughts that hadbeen with him all of his life. !s he sat in the trees, he could only smile as he thought

how unimportant the things of the city really were. He loved the trees and theisolation, it was as if he was becoming aware of his primitive self again. Hmmph6 he

thought to himself. I am becoming a primitive...a savage6 How ignoble6!s he ga4ed back to the reat House, he saw the light in the library was still on. He

+umped up...maybe )er is still there, he thought. Maybe we can still continue tonight6He turned and began to run back to the House.

Matu burst through the door. He looked around the room but could not see the

Master.(%ong, long ago...( )er began.

Matu turned to the window. The Master was standing there, almost hidden in the

darkness. Matu made his way to the table, he loved that beginning.(...on a new world, still steaming and covered with a green mist, somewhere near

the surface of its newly formed oceans, tiny little wriggling creatures thrived andlived. These were the first life forms of the reen 'orld. The tiny beings lived in the

waters +ust above the very dangerous cold and dark world of the deep, and +ustbelow the very bright world of the warm surface waters. 'ith each generation, the

little wrigglers came closer and closer to the surface waters. In time, they reachedthe surface waters, seeking the safety of the shallow depths when the oceans

became violent, basking in the warmth when the seas were calm. But even when the



waters were relatively peaceful, the waves brought the tiny creatures closer andcloser to the land at the edge of the water world.(

(1or many generations, the tiny creatures managed to avoid the land...but destinywould not be denied. In time, the churning ocean waves carried some of the tiny

s3uirming creatures tossing and tumbling over the waters, hurling them onto thewhite sand beaches. Many of the primitive wrigglers did not survive the tossing and

turning of the destructive waves and many did not live through the sudden fall ontothe coarse sands...but a precious few managed to survive. Thrown into stagnantpools on the beach or in hollows of rocks and cliff faces, the tiny creatures endured

the chaos of the waves. They had lived6(

(But the travails were not over...for suddenly, though they were still alive, they foundthemselves confronting a new life in a new world. It was true that the waters were

much 3uieter in the stagnant pools than the constantly moving world of waves thatthey had come from. There was no pounding of waves and no surf, no crashing and

thrashing about...and ...there was very little food.(Matu could imagine the reen 'orld and the tiny wrigglers.

)er continued...

(...but some of the tiny primordial creatures held on. They adapted to their newworld. They learned to feed on the tiny plants in the pond itself and survive on thebits of vegetation that fell on the pond*s surface. 2ome died, but some lived. Those

that lived became stronger, and as they survived, they multiplied and became largerin number. This was good, but yet, it was also bad. 2oon, the food resources of the

pond were not enough to provide for them all. !nd as it has happened on so manyworlds with so many beings, the tiny wrigglers began to feed...on each other.

2urvival demanded that only the strongest creatures would endure life in the tinyponds.(

&annibalism, Matu thought to himself. I guess it*s everywhere.("ver the course of time, some wrigglers made their way to the edges of the pond.

'hile feeding, they learned to lift their tiny heads out of the water and eat of the

moss and tiny plants hanging from the rocks. The tactic worked...for a while. Intime, in order to find food, some of the tiny wrigglers were forced to leave the water

entirely, laboriously edging their bodies out of the water, eating what they could,then rolling back into the safety of the water. enerations later, they had learned to

leave the water entirely, scurrying a small distance from the water to the vegetationin the mud and rocks, then hurriedly returning to the soothing water of the pond

before the rays of the sun killed them.(

(It was a dangerous life, Matu. 'riggling on the land and mud often caused many ofthe venturing wrigglers to become trapped in the mud or in small holes in the

ground. 2ome wrigglers failed to return to the waters before the sun*s rays dried outtheir skins. 1oraging on land for food had e$posed them to new dangers and created

ha4ards that they had never encountered before, but it had also provided an entirelynew source of food for the little creatures. !s they continued to evolve and adapt,

their tiny wriggling muscles gave way to tiny primitive legs. Their skins becamehardened, and their fins turned into grasping claws. But even more importantly, the

tiny creatures began to develop lungs that allowed them to breathe in the newlyformed atmosphere In this way, Matu, the very first of the primitive crawling insects

was born on the misty reen 'orld.(Matu pictured the tiny wriggling insects as not much bigger than a grain of rice,

maybe even smaller.)er stood up.



(!s the crawlers ventured outward, they found other pools, larger than those at theedge of the sea. Here %ife was a little easier, not often sub+ected to the une$pected

wave that crashed down on the tiny pool of the early survivors. The inland migrationcontinued, pools gave way to ponds, and the world of the primitive wrigglers

e$panded to unparalleled si4e. The ponds became host to numerous races of insects,and it provided food resources that had not been available in the shallow pools. %ife

was better.((But %ife on the primordial reen 'orld was a never5ending battle for survival. It wasdemanding, it was grueling and it meant death to any creature who gave up the

battle or who was simply too weak. "ver millions of years, the tiny insect continued

its battle to survive. Its life on the land was spent constantly searching for food whileattempting to survive the deadly rays of the suns above, the drying mud5traps and

the harsh blowing winds. Its life in the water was not much better. The tiny insectwas constantly defending itself from other small insect predators who were also

fighting to survive their primordial world. !ll of the tiny primitive creatures fought toeat...and they fought not to be eaten.(

)er walked to the window.("ne day, after eons of struggle and evolution, one tiny serpentine figure sat on a

small rock at the edge of the water. !s it sat 3uietly, searching for its ne$t meal, it

spotted another smaller creature swimming by in the water below. 'ithout pauseand without thinking, it leapt from where it sat onto the unsuspecting creature. In asplit second, its small muscles had reacted from pure survival instinct. These same

survival instincts had caused the tiny wriggler to do the unthinkable, it had left thesafety of its perch, and it had pushed itself outward and into the sky6(

(!nd this was an important event, Matu...for even though the +ump was nothing buta minuscule hop a fraction of an inch, the success of the action, the fact that the tiny

+ump had supplied the creature with the food that it needed, had ingrained thebehavior into its memory banks. 'hen once again the situation confronted the tiny

insect, it did not stop to think, it +ust reacted...again. !nd it succeeded...again.2lowly and surely, as time progressed, the tiny insect learned to perch on its ledge

and wait for its ne$t victim. "ther insects learned to do the same. enerations later,

the little wrigglers had learned to leap across the water, skipping and hopping acrossthe surface of the water in their unending search for food.(

('ith each success, the wrigglers became stronger and 3uicker...and more deadly.!fter hundreds of thousands of years, their tiny legs became stronger and their

bodies became slimmer and more tapered...s3uirming had given way to hopping,short hops had become long leaps... the evolution of insects had taken a giant step

forward.(

)er turned to Matu.(This is how you will become a 'arrior of the 2tars, Matu...( he said to him.

Matu was caught off guard. He was startled by the words.(I do not understand, )er...( he managed to say.

(ou will stop behaving and thinking like a human being bound to the earth. ou willbegin thinking and acting like a 2tar Being. ou must leap from the safety of your

perch that you call being *human* and feel the power of e$istence as a 2tar Being.Think like a 2tar being, Matu6 #o it often, do it many times, do it all the time. If you

can do this, the actions and thoughts of a 2tar Being will become natural, they willbecome a part of your everyday behavior. Then, and only then, will you begin the

evolutionary path to becoming a true 2tar 'arrior6(Matu pondered the thought. That*s why an athlete practices constantly6 In time, the

practiced motions become natural, they become instinctual. Incredible6 To react likea 2tar 'arrior without thinking...that would be an accomplishment6



)er sat down again. ("ne day, while it basked on a small rock, sunning itself to makeits blood warm, the small insect spotted a tiny creature crawling on the ground

below. 7eacting with the same instincts that had become part of its e$istence, \tleaped from its perch. !nd as it had happened so many times before, the surprise of

the attack left the victim no chance to defend itself. The learned behavior wasrewarding the tiny insect. But this time... this time, the leap was different. !s it flew

through the air, the victim of the attacking insect moved6 It moved away6 !lready inthe air, the tiny insect suddenly threw its legs forward, trying to reach for everymicro5millimeter of distance that it could get. !nd it happened6 The small flap of its

arms had lifted it upwards for but a split second...enough for the insect to still reach

its prey6 !nd this, Matu...this was the first act of true flight6(("nce again...evolution had taken a turn. 1lapping its arms had worked once, so the

tiny insect tried its newly ac3uired skill again. Time and time again, the daring leapfrom the ledge, accompanied by the flap of its arms...was successful. "ne flap gave

way to two, two flaps became four...as the tactic was passed on from one generationto another, the leaps became longer as their legs and budding wings grew stronger.

!nd incredibly, Matu, the flapping arms of the tiny insect became lighter and filmy.((The primordial tiny insect was evolving a set of wings. 1rom a tiny creature with

little hairs that propelled it forward through the water to a wriggling swimmer with

tiny fins, from a crawler with little legs to a hopper with powerful +umping limbs...andthen, Matu...to a creature with wings and the power to fly...the primordial flyinginsect was born.(

Matu was ama4ed by the story. It was astounding. 1rom a tiny wriggling creature toa flying insect...ama4ing, he thought to himself, simply ama4ing6

)er kept going. He always kept going, Matu thought to himself. He is relentless.(Many other primitive creatures of the pond also learned to fly in the misty reen

'orld. Millions of years later, numerous creatures with wings began to move fromthe ocean*s edge further and further into the steamy +ungles that were inland. 2ome

creatures gave up life in the ponds and stagnant pools altogether, moving into the

tree tops or the marshy swamps. "thers chose to remain near the ponds and lakesthat had always been their home and sanctuary. #o4ens of different types of insects

now began to move through the lands of the reen 'orld, and through the skies,bringing life to the une$plored edges of the prehistoric world.(

(Time passed...( Master )er continued. (The winged insects became larger and morecomple$ in their bodily structure. Hundreds of flying insect forms were born in the

reen 'orld, many lived for only a few thousand years before dying off. But others

established their tiny footholds in the prehistoric primitive world. !nd here, Matu,here in this primordial world of misty ponds and insects are the roots of the reptilian

beings.(Matu sat forward. "h, my od, he said to himself. "h, my od...that*s right6 7eptiles

are born from insects6 Holy...6 'hy hadn*t I seen this before, he wondered. 7eptilesare born from insects6 "f course6 Matu was beside himself.

Master )er saw the interest in the young apprentice suddenly become stronger. Thatis good, he said to himself. That is good.

(The insect which began to dominate the world of the ponds, Matu...( he beganagain, (...it resembled what we call a dragonfly here on -arth.(

! dragonfly6 Matu was even more e$cited. ! dragonfly6(!nd yet it was more...( )er e$plained. (It also had traits like the bee here on earth.(

Holy cow6 Matu was surprised. ! dragonfly and a bee combination6 'hat anincredible insect that must have been6

('hat was it called, Master?( he asked. (#id it have a name?(



(The *!ncient "nes* called the dragonfly5bee a 'kheb', Matu...( )er answered.(! *keb*?( Matu repeated.

(It is a guttural *k*, Matu...( )er corrected him. (It is more like *khh5eb*... like in thesound of the *ch* in %och ess monster... *khh5eb*.(

(=hh5eb...( the apprentice repeated. (=hh5eb.(Matu tried to picture an insect that was a combination of a dragonfly and a bee.

(7emaining in the world of ponds...( )er continued his story, (...the primitivedragonfly5bee, the 'kheb\ held tight to its little world. The many stagnant shallowponds along with their surrounding marshy grounds allowed the 'kheb' to find food

both in the water and on the ground for their off5spring and for themselves. The

power of flight and the e$perience of millions of years as a predator species hadgiven them considerable advantage in the hunt and the kill. Their skills and the

abundance of food sources in the world of the ponds had allowed them to growstrong.(

(But there were other insects that were evolving in the reen 'orld, and otherwrigglers and flying insects that were appearing on the primordial planet. ew forms

of insect life brought new forms of violence and predation, even the dragonfly5beeswere threatened by other hunters...and it forced them to become even more

vicious..(

)er stopped to take a sip of his drink.Matu sat back. He could see the misty reen 'orld in his mind. He could actually seethe primordial insects swarming through the mists, and he could imagine the

wrigglers s3uirming in the ponds and mud pools. -verything was green in hisimages...and it was hot and steamy.

The dragonfly5bees laid their eggs in the still ponds...( )er began again. (The eggswere tiny little things that were covered in a +elly5like film. 'hen they were born, the

little 'kheb' looked like microscopic scorpions...and, as rf they had been born of thedevil itself, the tiny 'kheb' scorpions were instantly ready for battle. They had tails

with tiny stingers on the end and tiny pincer claws on their forelegs that were

constantly pinching at the air.(Matu was astounded...and impressed. #evil insects...scary6 he thought to himself.

(!s soon as the tiny 'kheb' dragonfly5bees were born, they immediately began tofight with their siblings for their own little territory. 'ith pincers flying and tails

+abbing at their nest5mates, the scorpion5like babies were vicious and deadly. Inbetween the battles with their brothers and sisters, the 'kheb' infants fed on the

passing mites and tiny organisms that floated by in the water. These were dragonfly5

bee infants, a form of reptilian insect that was vicious in its hold on %ife, andunwilling to surrender to anything without a battle.(

(But as dangerous as the dragonfly5bees were, Matu, the developing new world andits many new creatures that e$isted beyond its ponds brought constant dangers and

challenges to their e$istence. "ther insects were changing and adapting to the +ungleenvironment. They evolved new offensive and defensive tactics, and they too

increased their si4e and strength. The 'kheb' were slowly being caught and over5powered. 'ithout change, the death of the dragonfly5bee species was not far away.(

Matu was hard pressed to believe that these *devil* insects would die away.(But %ife is adaptation, Matu...( )er emphasi4ed. (That is the rule of the reen

'orld, and it is the rule of the gala$y...and...it is the rule of %ife in the /niverse. !ndno one knows how or why...but somehow, the dragonfly5bees did something that

would forever change the history of the gala$y. They did something no othercreature had ever done before.(

Matu leaned forward.



(In order to survive, the dragonfly5bee learned to make two completetransformations of its form during its lifetime, two complete changes of its body. The

first transformation occurred as the scorpion infants reached the age of maturity.!fter crawling onto a branch or rock, the tiny dragonfly5bee infant attached its

scorpion5like body firmly and securely to a ledge. !s its outer skin hardened into atough shell, its inner organs began to change. 'hen finally the young dragonfly5bee

emerged, it no longer had the form of a tiny scorpion...now, Matu...now it lookedmore like a mantis. one was the wriggling and stinging water infant, born was thestalker who scurried over the land. %ooking more and more like the deadly reptile

that it would eventually become...in its new form, the developing young 'kheb' honed

its predatory skills.(! chill went through Matu. If this was the ancestor creature of the reptilian beings...

then, good od, that*s e$actly why...)er interrupted Matu*s thoughts, (...but this was only the first transformation that

the dragonfly5bee would undergo, Matu. In the second stage, after shedding its outershell, the maturing dragonfly5bee emerged with long limbs, claws and a stinger that

was more highly developed. !nd it also came out with a double set of wings and amulti5purpose long snout. In its new form, the 'kheb' was a far more efficient flying

and killing machine. This was the reptilian5insect, the dreaded dragonfly5bee, the

true =heb. !nd it was this creature that would eventually rise into the skies of thereen 'orld and con3uer it...completely.(Matu could believe that.

(!s the adult dragonfly5bees flew through the air, they looked like armoredmos3uitoes, Matu. They had e$ternal skeletons that were made of hardened bony

shell. The plates protected their vulnerable internal organs and made them nearlyinvincible opponents in the flying insect wars. They were truly frightening. They had

four powerful wings that lifted them through the air, each wing moving independentlyof the others. Because of this, the adult 'kheb' could hover in place or 3uickly move

forwards or backwards. They could dash and dart through the air with a skill that wasunmatched by other insects. It had long, long arms with small but powerful claws

that allowed it to cling to leaves and branches, and to grasp firmly any of its hapless

victims. 'ith one 3uick slash of its claws, the dragonfly5bee could kill its enemy orrip open the body of its prey. Then, standing over the still body, it could insert its

long snout into the body and suck greedily at the once life5giving fluids of its victim.(Matu shuddered at the vampire5like mantis that he envisioned in his mind.

(In the early days of %ife in the reen 'orld...( )er told the apprentice, (...thedragonfly bee, the 'kheb', a primitive form of reptilian5insect, was the single most

intimidating enemy any flying creature could meet.(

Matu was sure that this was true.(In the final stage of their lives, after the second shedding of their skins, the 'kheb'

had become full5fledged adults. !t this time in their lives, the females were ready toconceive, ready to bear off5spring. But in order to bear their young, the internal

organs of the females had changed even more dramatically than the systems of themales. 'here once the females could survive on the nectar of plants or on the flesh

of other insects, now the females needed to feed on the bodily fluids of othercreatures in order to produce the chemicals in their bodies that would permit

conception. The females needed to feed on the bodily fluids...on the blood ...of othercreatures.(

#amn6 Matu thought to himself...more and more like vampires6(!fter the female 'kheb' gorged themselves with the blood of other creatures, they

returned to their nest to await *the change*. 'hen they were ready, they rose up intothe sky, flying as high as they possibly could, and awaited the approach of the drone

males. By rising as high as they could in the sky, the females were assured that only



the strongest and the most determined males would be able to reach them. Thiswould insure that they would have strong and vitally healthy off5spring. &apable of

mating several times, the females remained in their *heavenly place* until they werefilled with male seed. Then, by descending to their chosen ponds, the females

deposited their eggs and returned to their nests...and the cycle began again. This,Matu...( Master )er emphasi4ed, (...this was the way of life of the ancestors of the

reptilian beings of our heavens.(Matu sat 3uietly. Beings... human beings... born of ancestors that were dragonfly5bees. 'ho would ever believe that? But then, we are descended of some form of

primate, he thought to himself. )erhaps not an ape, but a relative of the apes and

the chimpan4ees. !nd the primates came from four footed creatures who lived in thetrees millions of years ago. !nd where did they come from if not from a primitive

reptilian creature. It is not so far5fetched, Matu thought to himself. 'e, too, have a*reptilian corte$* in our brain. 'ould it be so wrong to call ourselves reptilian

humanoids? he wondered. o...he said to himself...I think not.)er ga4ed out the window.

("ver the billions of years of its evolution, the dragonfly5bee became larger. !nd as itevolved into its larger form, the first signs of its humanoid destiny began to show

itself. Its long appendages began to look more like long gangly arms and legs. Its

thora$ took the form of a torso with a pinched waist, and its triangular head with itshuge crystalline eyes began to taper and look more human. In the air, it looked like aminiature primitive human being with wings... not 3uite a fairy, perhaps more like a

fury. !s it sat in a tree, silently waiting for its innocent victim to fly by overhead, itlooked like a dark gargoyle.(

Matu sat back, the images in his head were frightening.(But sources of food were not only to be found in the sky, Matu. There was also prey

that walked on the ground. %arger wings had helped the 'kheb' to become efficienthunters in the air, but the large wingspan had also restricted movement in dense

forests and thick brush. 2heer survival demanded that the reptilian dragonfly5beehumanoids learn to hunt on the ground. By tucking its wings in close to its body, the

'kheb' learned that it could run 3uickly through the trees. Its legs and lower

e$tremities adapted to movement on the ground, and its clawed feet became morefle$ible. Its backbone adapted to erect movement and its tail all but disappeared.

!nd though its new form allowed it to become a deadly predator on the ground in theforests and +ungles, its upper torso and wings never lost their incredible ability to lift

the creature up into the sky and dart through the air.(They sound like dragon5people...( Matu said out loud.

)er nodded. (es...it is an image that is appropriate.(

('ere they really reptiles, )er?( Matu asked.(es, Matu...( )er answered. (They were winged reptilian creatures on their way to

becoming humanoids.(('ere they cold5blooded, Master?( he asked.

(That is correct, Matu...( the -lder answered. (2cales and plates do not keep theheat of the body in very well. !s even the reptiles of earth must do, the early 'kheb'

had to sun themselves often. It was also their practice to live in the warm regions oftheir world.(

(ou said they had scales...?( the young apprentice was curious.(es, Matu...( the -lder responded, (...in the beginning. -ventually they lost their

scales and their bony shell covering. ou see, for many millions of years, theprimitive male 'kheb' had bony plates all over his body and his arms and legs, much

like the dinosaurs of earth in the long ago prehistoric eras. They had a ridge of shortplates with semi5sharp edges that began near their forehead, trailed back and over

their skull and down their backs, gradually tapering down on their short slender tail.



They also had long sharp claws on the hands that they were developing. They couldcut and rip with savage 3uickness, and they had large s3uare +aws with sharp ridged

teeth that could cut a limb off with one snapping bite. They had powerful legs that letthem run 3uickly and leap through the air with e$traordinary speed and agility. Their

emotionless black eyes could intimidate the hardiest enemy warrior...and remember,Matu...they could fly. The drone 'kheb' were among the most vicious creatures of the

reen 'orld.(Matu nodded. There is no doubt of that, he thought to himself.(!nd they were black, Matu...( )er narrowed his eyes, looking straight into Matu*s

eyes, (...their bodies were a deep black. In the darkness, the male drones were

nearly invisible. Hidden in the blackness of night, an attack by male drones was bothfierce and merciless. #escending with stunning speed and 3uickness on enemy nests

or bands of ground creatures, attacks by dragonfly5bee males seldom failed. Bornwith the instincts of dragonfly drones, 'kheb' males would continue to fight...even if

their heads had been cut off. -nemy drones who survived the initial surprise attackof the 'kheb' had little chance of living through the subse3uent onslaught. Time and

time again, the lightning attacks of the drone dragonfly5bees succeeded...and timeand time again, they e$panded their primordial insect lands.(

)er leaned forwards.

(But as feared as the 'kheb' males were, Matu...the females were even moreterrifying to the creatures of the reen 'orld. In their evolution, as the females weredeveloping into humanoids, they remained smaller than the males and they had

smaller plate coverings on their bodies, with e$posed areas that were covered with afine fu44y hair. But their lack of armor did not make them less dangerous. Their

claws were still sharp and their smaller si4e made them 3uicker and faster than theirmale counterparts.(

)er paused.(But there was something else...( he said.

Matu*s listened with anticipation.The Master spoke in almost a whisper, (...they were poisonous6(

Matu made a face. )oisonous? he wondered. )oisonous? !re they not deadly enough

already? They feel a need to become poisonous?("ver the billions of years of their evolution, something happened to the female

'kheb' that did not happen to the males. The changes in their bodies that producedthe hormones necessary for the production of off5spring also produced a fluid that

was acidic and highly poisonous to other creatures6 The kheb' females could protect

themselves and their nests by spitting a natural venom into the eyes and faces oftheir victims. ! stream of hot acidic fluid that struck the face of an enemy could

cause nerve5numbing paralysis or blindness. If there was an open wound or thevenom entered the gullet of the victim, death was almost always certain. !nd woe be

to any enemy that felt the fangs of the female 'kheb' (2o, Matu, while the 'kheb' drones could draw blood with their bites, that in and of

itself did not cause death. But the 'kheb' females...because of their natural venomthe females could kill with but the slightest scratch from their fangs. The battles

between the evolving creatures of the reen 'orld and the 'kheb' males alwaysheavily favored the dragonfly5bees, but when the areas near the 'kheb' nests were

endangered or threatened, the destructive fury of the females always produced avictory.(

)er looked Matu in the eyes.



(Though this might sound almost trite, Matu...in this gala$y, it is the female of thespecies that should be feared...it is the female of the species that is the most

deadly.()er sat back, letting his words sink in.

&hills went up Matu*s back. Bu44ing bees terrified him, the idea that there wereswarms of drones descending on him was frightening. 1acing a man5si4ed dragonfly

was also terrifying, but the thought of a hand5to5hand battle with a female thatlooked like a gargoyle... and who had saliva that could kill...that was too much. %ord,Matu thought to himself, I hope I never have to confront one. Then a thought

occurred to him...

(But that was millions of years ago, is that not so, Master? he asked hopefully. (!ndon another world in a faraway star system, is that not right, sir?(

)er smiled at Matu*s concern.(es...( )er assured the apprentice. (That is how they appeared many, many years

ago...millions of years ago. They no longer look 3uite as frightening as they oncedid.(

Matu was relieved. ('hat do they look like now, Master?(('ell, Matu...( )er resumed his story. (In the early stages of the evolution of the

'kheb', they looked like strange armored mantis5humanoids. But over the millions of

years, their bodies became tall and lanky, their arms and legs were long and slender.The torso with the pinched waist that is so familiar to bees and dragonflies gave wayto a humanoid body with a small waist. Their large triangular heads developed into a

more rounded head with a tapering pointed or s3uare chin. The huge black eyes thathad once dominated the entire head became large dark piercing eyes.(

Matu shuddered, he was sure he had seen one of them in town earlier in the month.(The early *kheb* humanoids...( )er stopped and smiled.

Matu wondered what happened. (!re you okay, Master?(The elder looked at Matu.

(The early 'kheb' humanoids were the e3uivalent of our cave5man, Matu. I guessthey could be called 'kheb' men and 'kheb' women...( he smiled.

Matu smiled, too. !nother good one, Master, another good one.

(The early 'kheb' humanoids were tall and rather slender, but their slim build wasdeceptively powerful. They were very limber and fast, capable of running on narrow

trails and passing through thin passages. !nd they could fly, up and down, side toside and so fast that they seemed a blur. They were efficient and deadly

hunters...and they were cold5blooded killers. "f all the species that would evolve onthe reen 'orld, it was the reptilian bee5humanoids the kheb', who would rise to

become the most dominant life5form of the world.(

>I*ll bet69 Matu thought to himself.(!s the kheb' humanoids evolved, +ust as it happened on earth, they formed

primitive societies that eventually became civili4ations. They evolved from aprimordial nest e$istence to primitive mud huts and shelters and then to large

sophisticated cities. 1rom a life struggling in a pond, to life as a reptile, and then to%ife as a humanoid from tiny gurgles to bu44ing and then to comple$ languages<

from mud nests, to glyphs to magnificent art and from bartering to markets andthen to comple$ financial institutions...the primitive reptilian5insect humanoid gave

way to sophisticated 7eptilian Man. The reptilian people had become...civili4ed.(Matu wondered if the path of development was the same throughout the /niverse, if

all of the beings of the gala$y followed the same trail. !nd he wondered...(#o the reptilian people, the 'kheb' look like snake people or mantis people, Master?(

he asked. (#o they still have scales?()er grinned.



(o, Matu...( he shook his head. (!s human beings on earth have lost the largeamounts of hair that their primate ancestors once had, so too, the reptilian beings

have lost their scales.((!re they green, Master?( he wondered.

(o, my young friend...( he smiled again. (They are not green5skinned, they neverwere. Their dark skins no longer have scales and they do not look like the insect5

reptiles that they are descended of.('hew6 thought Matu. But I wonder what... hold it6)er began again.

(!s the millions of years of their evolution continued to go by, the *kheb' people lost

most of the very distinct reptilian and insect features of their ancestors. But not alltheir physical traits disappeared entirely. Though their height began to vary slightly,

the 'kheb' people generally remained tall and 3uite slender. !nd, as is the case withall beings born of reptilian ancestors, they possessed little or no hair on their bodies

and they had very little hair on their heads. Their torsos retained the hour5glassshape of their long5ago dragonfly5bee ancestors. Males had broad chests with narrow

waists, large and powerful buttocks with strong thighs and tapering calves. 7eptilianfemales had the same shape but with a more delicate and feminine curve to their

bodies.(

(Their faces were still triangular, tapering to a pronounced yet soft point. They hadlarge dark eyes, larger than most humanoids, but they possessed an almosthypnoti4ing beauty. Their mouths were also larger than most beings but with smaller

lips. 'hen closed, the mouth of the reptilian people seemed almost to disappear. !ndthough they had lost the e$tremely large fangs of their ancestors, their *eye* teeth

were still long and sharp...and 3uite functional. The long proboscis used to drain theblood of their victims was also gone, it had given way to an angular nose, sharp and

narrow, and it too was strangely appealing.((It may surprise you, Matu...but the reptilian people were a physically beautiful

people. Their limbs were graceful, their bodies were alluring and shapely. !nd withtheir large dark eyes and fluid walk, the reptilian females were known to be some of

the most beautiful women in the gala$y. The reptilian people were handsome and

fearsome, beautiful and deadly...and they could fly. In ceremony, when dressed intheir flowing robes, in the best finery their world had to offer, the male and female

reptilians could hover lightly, as if on angelic wings...but they were the Hand of#eath itself, hidden in shining gossamer.(

#evils that look like angels...ama4ing thought Matu. "r perhaps I should think ofthem more like angels that act like devils?

("ver the billions of years of the evolution of the reen 'orld, many races ofreptilian people had evolved. !nd as it has happened on every world in our gala$y of

-7I#!/2, the races went to war over their own world. 'ithout fail, the success orfailure of the reptilian armies always hinged on the e$traordinary ability of the drone

warriors to maneuver in flight. Males and females alike could fly on wings thatseemed far too delicate to carry their lanky bodies. They were e$ceptionally 3uick on

the ground, but in the air the reptilians had no peer.((1rom a distance, the approaching armies of flying warriors looked like a huge black

cloud of giant dragonflies, a faint angry bu44ing betraying their intent. But eventhough the enemy might visually detect them while still some distance away, in the

blink of an eye the reptilian winged warriors covered the ground that separated themfrom their enemies. In less than a heartbeat, the viciousness of the reptilian warrior

descended on its enemy like the wrath of a cruel and bloodthirsty od.((Though they would eventually lose their natural bony covering because of the forces

of evolution, the reptilian drone warriors compensated for the loss by wearing



fabricated body plate armor, much like the knights of the Middle !ges in -arth*shistory. 'hile the loss of natural body armor had made them somewhat more

vulnerable, the loss of the body plates had also made the reptilian warriors lighterand 3uicker...and therefore, more deadly.(

#amn6 Matu thought to himself. 'hy do they keep getting deadlier? #on*t they everdevelop some sort of weakness? Matu shook his head.

)er noticed Matu and stopped.(o, -lder...( Matu apologi4ed, (...it is nothing. I am sorry.()er sat back and continued.

(The 'orld 'ars of the reptilian humanoids were many, Matu. The balance of power

swung back and forth between many aspiring realms. -mpires and =ingdoms roseand fell. But in time, one race of reptilian people surfaced as the dominant people of

the planet. They were known as the -=H, or the fearsome *Black "nes*. Throughthe victories of the Black 'arriors and the political manipulations of the Black =ings,

the world of the 7eptiles was eventually united under one =ing and one =ingdom.(Matu repeated the name to himself...the -=H...the *Black "nes*. ep, its scary.



Chapter II

Empire of the NEKHKings

)er pressed on, (It is important to keep something in mind when you learn of thehistory of the reptilian people, Matu. In the nest of a reptilian insect, it is the females

who do the work and it is the ;ueen around whom %ife revolves. The drones servetwo purposes, their first purpose is to mate with the ;ueen or the 7oyal female.

Their second function is to protect the nest from any enemies or invaders. !s the'kheb' evolved from a primitive insect to an evolved humanoid form, the same roles

became part of their primitive humanoid e$istence, and it carried over into theircivili4ed stages. "n the battlefields and in territories away from the home, the

humanoid males fought the battles and took control of the events...but in the realmof the home, much as in the nest, it was the females who controlled the day to day

events.((!s the 'kheb' humanoids evolved, the females continued to do all of the work

around the central colony. Males defended the colonies, but because of their well5

known ferocity, they were seldom attacked. 'ith little to do around the colonies, themales began to venture out into the surrounding countrysides, invading theterritories and colonies of other humanoid races. In short time, the 'kheb' males

con3uered the weaker males of neighboring lands and began to e$pand their wars ofcon3uest. In the newly con3uered territories, the 'kheb' males declared themselves

=ings, ruling with an iron hand over their sub+ect populations. !t home, however, in

the central lands, the ;ueens continued to control.((!s the con3uests continued, =ingdoms rose and fell. But the institutions remained

the same, the 'kheb' Monarchs maintained rigid control of the governments andarmies of all of the con3uered realms, and even the political institutions of the

central 7ealm itself...but the day to day administration of the home colony and its

cities remained the domain of the reptilian ;ueen. 'hile the 7eptilian =ings

permitted the females minimal participation in the decision making process of theover5all =ingdom, the Monarchs 3uickly yielded to their ;ueens when it came tomatters of the homeland itself. in short, the over5all -mpire was the realm of the

=ing, but the home...that, Matu...was the sole realm of the ;ueen.(Matu sat back. Incredible, he thought to himself. Incredible6 'hat a system, the

home is the domain of the female, the con3uered lands are the domain of the male.The home is the domain of the woman, the outside world is the domain of the man.

My od, Matu reali4ed, it is but another way of saying what we have always beentaught about men and women in our world...a woman*s place is in the home, a



man*s place is in the outside world. It*s the same thing... but with an entirelydifferent meaning6

)er continued.(%ife advanced 3uickly under the hand of the 7eptilian -=H =ings, Matu. 2cience

and technology, originally developed to assist in the 'ars of &on3uest by the =ings,leaped forward by leaps and bounds. 'hile weaponry and the science of con3uest

continued to have the highest priority in research and development, the inventionsand tools that resulted from the new technologies were often adapted for everydayuse by the average 'kheb human.(

Much as it has been done here on -arth, Matu said to himself.

(In time, the Kheb' =ings abandoned their destructive 'ars of &on3uest and focusedtheir attention on new wars for power. These wars were not fought on the battlefield,

they were fought in the marketplaces of the reen 'orld. Begun as a cooperativeeffort to achieve a profitable united front throughout the globe, the 'Kheb' Monarchs

began to work together, not for the sake of peace, but for the sake of monetary gain.'ars of destruction would no longer be tolerated in the ma+or =ingdoms of the ew

'orld, peace and order would reign, prosperity and happiness would belong toeveryone. Business became the new battlefield. The ew 'orld 'ars, officially

known as the -=H 'orld 'ars, were fought in the business centers of the reen

'orld. !ssassinations and murders still took place, but they were no longer a resultof heated passions and sheer hatred...*it wasn*t personal... it was businessHoly cow6 Matu sat up. *It isn*t personal...it*s business6* The world has certainly

heard that one before6 !nd its billions and billions of years old6 My od6(In the ew 'orld, one family of 'kheb' beings surfaced to control the wealth and

power bases of the entire globe, they were the first descendants of the early -=H=ings, and were known as the -=H5=H-B. /nder their manipulations, )eace was

achieved, and a new era was reali4ed. !ll of the kingdoms of the reen 'orld fellunder the flag of the !ssociation of Kheb 2tates, another way of saying the

!ssociation of 7eptilian 2tates. The strength of the ew 'orld could be e$pressed ina simple phrase...*and a profit shall lead them*.(

Holy cow6 Matu was stunned again6 Holy cow6

('ith the institutions of the ew 'orld -ra in place, the -=H -mpires began to lookto the skies above. They began, as human beings of -arth have, to e$plore their

moons. They carefully developed their technologies, landed on the surface of theirmoons and began to establish footholds. enerations later, their moons were

coloni4ed and e$ploited, mined for their resources, and became fully e3uippedstepping stones to the planets and worlds beyond. The 7eptilian -=H astronauts

reached out and con3uered the worlds of their own solar system, establishing new

bases and more colonies, e$ploiting and developing the many new satellites of theirneighbors. The -=H established a solar system community of 7eptilian beings, the

first !ssociation of 7eptilian 'orlds.(!n !ssociation, thought Matu. 2trange choice of names...

(-$cuse me, Master...( Matu interrupted. (But why do they call it an !ssociation of7eptilian 2tates? #o they refer to themselves as 7eptiles?(

(o, Matu...( )er answered. (They do not call themselves 7eptilians, no more thanwe call ourselves !pe Men. ou must understand that to them the word 'kheb' means

human being. To them anything that is not 7eptilian, anything that is not 'kheb'would be referred to with a 3ualifying term. 1or e$ample, we would not be known as

*human beings*, we would be referred to as *!pe Men* or *!pes*, because of ourancestry. Beings whose ancestors might have been wolves, would be referred to as

*'olf Men* or even *'olves* by the 'kheb' people. ou must understand this, in theeyes of each race of beings, they believe themselves to be the one true *human

being*. !ll others are referred to by their ancestry...*'olf Men*, *1ish Men*, *Bird Men*,



etc. /nfortunately, in order to try to tell you this story in a way in which you willunderstand. I too am forced to use 3ualifying terms in order to make my

e$planations a little more understandable. If I should try to be precisely correct. Ishould never use the descriptive term reptilian to you, but then you would probably

have greater difficulty keeping track of who is who in the history of our gala$y. Myapologies, Matu... but I use 3ualifiers to aid in your learning.(

"Oh no. Master...( Matu answered 3uickly. (I am thankful that you have done this. Iam sure that you use the best words possible in order to teach me...#o notapologi4e, Master. I must thank you for being so wise. Thank you, Master.(

)er nodded his appreciation. The young man was wise indeed.

The !ssociation of 7eptilian 'orlds...()er paused and smiled at Matu.

(The !ssociation of Kheb 'orlds was but the first step, Matu. The -=H =ings beganto reach out beyond the boundaries of their solar system -mpire into the outer

reaches of other solar systems and their worlds. )ossessed of e$traordinarytechnology and weaponry, with vast resources and coldly calculating 2tar 'arriors,

the -=H =ings began to e$plore and e$ploit "ther 'orlds. !s they had done on thereen 'orld, and as they had done in their own solar system, they began yet

another series of 'ars of &on3uest. !nd it was on these 'ars of &on3uest that the

reptilian people confronted the other humanoids of the ala$y of -7I#!/2.(Here we go6 Matu said to himself. %ook out gala$y6('hen the -=H 2tar 2hips made first contact with beings of "ther 'orlds, they

were predictably cautious, of course...but to the surprise of the reptilian 2tar'arriors, the "ther 'orld beings welcomed them with open arms. 2ince the "ther

'orlders had not managed to develop their own space technology, the newcivili4ation looked with awe and near reverence on the ships of the -=H. &on3uest

of their planet was simple.("f course, thought Matu to himself. 2uperior technology inevitably dominates inferior

forces...especially if the inferior forces openly welcome their con3uerors.(!s the "ther 'orlds fell to the -=H 2tar 'arriors, the =ings were 3uick to

establish their own puppet governments with their own -=H !dministrators in the

seats of power. !ll "ther 'orlds would function under the same systems establishedin the -=H -mpire. !ll newly con3uered populations would obey and live by the

institutions of the -=H 'orlds, and all con3uered populations would pay homage tothe -=H =ing of the 2tars who sat on the Throne of the -=H -mpire... !ll Hail =ing

-=H6 !ll Hail the =ing of Heaven6(Matu shook his head. It is the same everywhere, he marveled. "n earth, in the

stars... it simply does not change.

(But the campaign of con3uests was not always easy, Matu. !s the 7eptilian 2tar'arriors continued to move onto unknown worlds, they soon found that there were

other species of warriors that were not so easily defeated. 2ome star races weredefended by warriors with e$ceptional physical strengths and abilities that the

reptilian warriors had never seen before. To the dismay of the -=H =ings, somewars of con3uest were lost.(

Bravo6 Matu thought. I was wondering if anyone could stand up against them.(The -ra of the 1irst 2tar 'ars was ended. !nd for a time, there was a tentative

peace in the stars. The -=H =ings had been slowed down.(The -ra of the 1irst 2tar 'ars, Matu wrote down. #efinitely suggests a 2econd -ra.

(-ven with all of their advanced technologies and the inherent viciousness and cold5bloodedness of their reptilian 'arriors, the -=H =ings found themselves taken to a

higher level of intensity and deadliness in 'ar. Tactics and weaponry had to be re5evaluated ...as did the make5up of the warrior on the battlefield. !s a result of the

demands made by these ultra5level *2tar 'ars*, no reptilian 'arrior could be



summarily dismissed or ignored...regardless of gender. In reviewing the history ofthe successful wars of the -mpire, it was soon recalled that 7eptilian females had

once fought side by side with the drone warriors in the 'ars of the reen 'orld.Their participation played no small part in the victories of the old wars. There was no

reason to believe that they could not contribute to victories in the new wars. !s hadonce happened many, many years earlier, reptilian females were once again recruited

and placed on the battlefield beside their male counterparts.(2cary, Matu thought to himself.('hat would happen ne$t, Matu...( )er said, (...was completely une$pected.(

/h5oh, Matu stopped writing. It was difficult to believe that the reptilian #rone

'arriors needed help, but if that was true...od help the enemies who had to facethe reptilian females.

(!fter a short time of peace, the hostilities in the stars began again. The =ings of the7eptilian -mpire began to move forward...again. But this time, the 2tar forces of the

=ings were e3uipped with redefined weaponry and new technologies...and fightingside by side with the drone males were the deadly reptilian females.(

#amn, Matu thought. I think I*d 3uit right then and there. It*s too scary to imagine6(2hortly after the -ra of the 2econd 2tar 'ars began, it was discovered that

battlefield conditions on far distant worlds created astonishing changes in the

metabolism of reptilian females. "n their home world, females were bathedconstantly with harsh solar radiation from their multiple suns. )ulsing solar stormsforced a rhythmic fluctuation in their reproductive cycles, forcing them to produce a

chemical in their bodies that would assist in regulating the birth and conceptionprocess. But in the vast reaches of space, away from the home world suns and away

from the forces that generated internal bodily cycles, the female fluctuationstopped...entirely6 The menstrual cycles of the female reptilians ceased altogether6

In space, reptilian females could still conceive and bear children, but only throughthe direct and deliberate stimulation of the conception hormones6(

*'hat this means, Matu...( )er leaned forward, (...is that reptilian women had nomenstrual cycle. They could completely choose when and if they wanted to become

pregnant6 'hat is important to note here is that the menstrual cycle was a result of

the solar fluctuations of their home suns6(Matu pondered the idea.

(&ould it mean, Master...?( he began.(It means that free of the sun*s radiation, women of -arth would be free of

menstrual cycles...it is that simple.(Holy cow6 Matu was shocked.

(2ir...( he was nearly shaking. (!re you saying that the menstrual cycle of the

women of -arth is a direct result of the fluctuations of the radiations of our ownsun?(

(es, Matu...( )er answered. (But not the radiations precisely. 'ere women sub+ectto the flare5ups of our sun, every cycle would be based on completely random

occurrences. It is the result of the radiations caused by the rotation of the sun,Matu...(

Matu was still stunned.(...and the direct control of yet another body in the sky which regulates the cycle of

women so precisely.(!nother body in the sky? Matu wondered.

)er began again, leaving Matu no time to pursue the thought.(7emember, Matu, the venom that the reptilian women produced in their bodies

acted as a trigger that enabled reproduction to take place. 2olar radiation triggeredthe venom that in itself triggered conception capabilities. 'ithout the influence of



their sun*s radiation, the venom was not triggered and conception could not takeplace. Mating could occur but no pregnancy could ever happen.(

atural childbirth, thought Matu.

(But though the conception process was absent Matu...the naturally produced venomcontinued to flow through the systems of reptilian women 'arriors To the surprise of

the reptilian !ssociation of Medical !rts, and the reptilian women themselves, thevenom began to transform itself once again. 'here once the venom was a regulatorand a natural defense mechanism, under "ther 'orld conditions and new solar

forces, the venom returned to its most basic function...a poison used for self5

defense. But...to everyone*s surpnse, the natural venom of the reptilian femalesbecame even more deadly than it had ever been before6(

"h, wonderful6 thought Matu to himself. !s if they weren*t deadly enough already((But there was more, Matu...( )er continued.

"h, great6 Matu made a face. There*s more6 'hat*s left?(/nder battlefield conditions, the rush of adrenaline running through the bloodstream

of women added to the potency of the venom...(ee4, Matu winced. 'hen does this stop? How deadly can the females get?

(To the pleasant surprise of the =ings, and to the misfortune of their enemies,

because of the natural transformation of the venom, and because of the addedadrenaline influence, the naturally produced venom of the reptilian females renderedthem far more dangerous...and far more deadly than any of the male reptilian

warriors. 2till capable of spitting a hot deadly poison at the eyes of their enemy, thenew venom now virtually assured death to any soldier on the battle field who

confronted the reptilian females.(Matu +ust sat there shaking his head.

)er smiled. The point was being made.(!nd of course, Matu...( he added, (...the females were also more naturally vicious.(

"f course, Matu agreed, throwing his hands up in the air.('hen provoked to battle, the females did not permit logic or sentiment to interfere

with their goal...total and complete victory was their end5all. The females were not

fighting for glory or con3uest, they were fighting for their world and their lives. 'henangered, no one was deadlier than the reptilian female. These factors changed the

course of many battles between the races of 2tar Beings of our gala$y.("f course, thought Matu to himself. 'ho would have a chance?

(Though many of the most decisive battles were fought in the skies over the *"ther'orlds*, ground forces were still necessary to maintain the edge won in the skies. In

these situations, no one could compete with the female reptilian warriors. In hand to

hand combat, the reptilian females could in+ect their poison into the blood5streams oftheir opponents by biting them or by spitting on their blades and wounding them

with poisoned knife edges. -ven in+ury from the clawed nail of a reptilian femalecould bring on paralysis and death. "ther 'orld leaders and military commanders

feared the blades and claws of the reptilian females, choosing to negotiate with the=ings rather than face the cold5blooded females with death in their eyes.(

ood move, thought Matu.(!nd so too, "ther 'orld populations yielded to the presence of the reptilian female

guards put in place to control the new governments. Hostile crowds were easilycontrolled by reptilian females who were armed with little more than long5bladed

knives and spears. 'hen puppet governments were installed, no diplomat dared tochallenge the authority of any reptilian female left in charge of the newly established

administrations. The legends of the deadly potency of the venom in reptilian womenwere spread far and wide. 1ew beings of "ther 'orlds had not lost a friend or

relative to the venom of a reptilian female.(



(2uccess after success in the con3uest and control of other worlds, was based inlarge part, on the participation and influence of the reptilian female warriors. In the

historical records of the reen 'orld, it was the *'ars of the Black "nes* from whichthe -mpire of the reptilian people was born. In the later records of %ife in our ala$y,

it was the *'ars of the 2tars* from which the 2tar -mpire of the 7eptilians was born.But in both cases, Matu, it was the reptilian female warriors about whom the horror

stories were told. %ightning 3uick attacks by overwhelming forces, deadly battleswith black reptilian males, streams of poison from reptilian females, unwaveringcontrol of "ther 'orlds by venomous females...all of these factors and more led to

the legends...and status...of the reptilian -mpire as one of the greatest powers that

would ever surface in the inth 7ealm of the gala$y of -7I#!/2.((By the time the -ra of the *Black 2tar 'ars* was over, the -=H -mpire of the

reptilian 'arrior =ings had left its bloody mark on hundreds of planets. 1rom aprimitive beginning to a highly advanced society, the reptilian humanoids had firmly

established themselves in the annals of the inth 2ector.(Matu sat 3uietly. Images of flying reptilian warriors still filled his head.

(But the -poch of the reptilian Black =ings. Matu...was soon to end.(Matu was nearly e$hausted, he had a do4en 3uestions. Matu ga4ed out the window.

It must be very late, he thought to himself. I am not sleepy, though...but I am tired.

)er began again, almost without breath.(#uring the e$pansion of the 7eptilian -mpire under the -=H =ings, males led onthe battlefield and in government, but it was the reptilian females who effectively

administered to the needs and demands of the institutions and the govemments ofthe many "ther 'orlds. It was also the reptilian females who maintained direct

contact with the rulers and peoples of the -mpire, and it was the reptilian femaleswho administered to and maintained the channels of power. 'hat was interpreted by

many as loyalty to the reptilian =ings by the reptilian females was an e$ercise in thecunning and hidden methods of the reptilian ;ueens.(

(ou see, Matu...while the reptilian =ings initially held real power in the -ra of the'ars of &on3uest on the reen 'orld, by the time of "ther 'orld e$pansions, it was

the ;ueens and their loyal female administrators who were the real center of power

in the -mpire. In any -mpire run by a *secret power(, figureheads are always theloudest and the most highly visible. The -mpire is even given to believe that the

issuance of commands comes solely from the figurehead. In truth, sometimes thefigureheads even believe that they really are issuing the royal commands. But it is

the person who actually sees to the e$ecution of those commands who truly holdsthe reins of power. !nd in every case, it was a female administrator who was

responsible for the enforcement of 7oyal commands.(

(7emember, Matu...( )er said. (It is the female of the 'kheb' race that does the workThe males are the warriors and the mates of the ;ueen. "n the reen 'orld, and on

the "ther 'orlds, it was the females who actually administered to the affairs of theworld.(

"f course, Matu thought to himself. The world of the 'kheb' does not revolve aroundthe male, it revolves around the female.

(=ings routinely issued orders intended for enforcement in the entire -mpire, and itwas the ;ueens and their female administrators who routinely altered or delayed the

e$ecution of the royal commands. To the credit of the cleverness of the ;ueens, the=ings were absolutely convinced that as Monarchs, they were the sole true power of

the -mpire.(('hen the 7eptilian -mpire, under the hand of the -=H =ings, began to show

considerable influence in the stars of the inth 2ector, the ;ueens began toreconsider their *behind5the5scenes* roles. !dministering to the new 2tar -mpire had

placed greater power an5responsibilities in the hands of the reptilian females. !nd



they had neither faltered nor failed The reptilian females had proven themselves tobe effective and efficient administrators ...and they had proven themselves on the

battlefield. But with the new status of the -mpire, as a powerhouse in the stars, thefemale reptilian ;ueens began to press the throne for a more visible position in the

ruling of the -mpire.(I don*t think I*d get in their way, Matu mulled.

In order to avoid difficulties at home and to placate the ;ueens and the reptilianwomen administrators, the reptilian =ings grudgingly granted the ;ueens newresponsibilities. The ;ueens became more visible, and became a greater part of the

2tate ceremonies that the people always relished. Minor programs were handed over

to the ;ueen and her loyal female forces...but in the control of the -mpire, the =ingswould never relin3uish their authority...It would have to be wrested away.(

'hoops, thought Matu. ot good6 Bad move6(!nd to their surprise and dismay, it was. 'hat the =ings had not reali4ed was that

by granting additional powers in the administration of the -mpire, particularly bygranting a greater visible role, they had also granted the ;ueens additional

power...in the eyes of the people of the -mpire. This error would prove to be fatal forthe -ra of =ings.(

(In the eyes of the =ing, the ;ueen of the -mpire sat on the throne as the head

female of the -mpire. Her duties were very simple< it was her task to present to theother worlds of the 7eptilian =ingdom and to "ther 'orlds of the inth sector, thevery clear and emphatic impression that all of the females of the reptilian -mpire

were solidly and passionately behind their =ing. -ven the ;ueen*s High &ourt wasordered to present the same image to the worlds of the inth 2ector. !nd since all

females, including the ;ueen, answered directly to upper level male representativesof the =ing, the =ing was persuaded that the ;ueen*s role was one of grand illusion

and little influence. To the =ing, the ;ueen was an ornament for the &ourt and adecoration for the Monarch to fawn over...her presence was purely perfunctory.(

)er paused and smiled.("r at least... so thought the =ing.(

Town fool...Matu reflected.

)er began again.(The legend of the *ight of Tears* tells us the following, Matu...(

(...the daily early morning meeting of the =ing*s 7oyal staff was called to order. Theaffairs of the -mpire were always the first priority in the morning. Members of the

7oyal 2taff were surprised when the ;ueen entered the chamber instead of the =ing.2oldiers of her 7oyal -lite female guards followed close behind her. !s the female

soldiers lined the walls of the 7oyal &hamber, the ;ueen sat down, not in her chair,

but in the =ing*s chair6 2everal of the =ing*s staff +umped to their feet and loudlyprotested her outrageous action. 'hen the ;ueen*s -lite uard stepped forward, the

males sat down and remained silent.((The announcement was 3uick and simple< The =ing had been assassinated in the

middle of the night. The ;ueen herself had barely managed to escape the assassins.'ere it not for her loyal -lite uard, the ;ueen might not have survived the night.

Though the male murderers were immediately killed, they could not be recogni4ednor could the source of the assassination plot be ascertained. In order to keep order,

in order to prevent riot and pandemonium, the ;ueen had immediately sei4edcontrol.(

(To avoid a coup by the unscrupulous unknown male power who must have beenbehind the assassination, the ;ueen issued commands to all female reptilian

commanders and administrators to take control of their appropriate circles. To avoida take5over by this unscrupulous and unknown male power, all males were to be

removed from their positions of control...for the sake of the -mpire6 /ntil the ;ueen



could reasonably insure the safety of the -mpire and its people, the 7eptilian realmswould be run by the female administrators who were already in place. 'hen the

;ueen was satisfied that peace and security were assured, she would relin3uishauthority to the =ing*s heir apparent.(

'hoa6 Matu said to himself.

()rotests by reptilian males who were in power were loud and plentiful. But the;ueen would not be swayed. That fateful night, later to become known as The ightof Tears*, was the single most crucial day in the history of the -mpire.(

)robably crocodile tears, Matu thought.

(To the horror of the people of the -mpire, and in seeming confirmation of the;ueen*s prediction of a coup attempt, over the course of the ne$t few time periods

many of the highest level male commanders and administrators died under the mostmysterious circumstances. It seemed that the ;ueen*s precautions had proven 3uite

wise and e$traordinarily timely.((!nd there were further complications during this time, Matu. #escendants and heirs

of the reptilian =ing were also mysteriously assassinated. High level representativesof the =ing in key positions on other worlds of the -mpire also died. The plot was

ruthless and thorough.(

I bet, Matu pondered.(But the ;ueen was firm and resolute. 2he assured her people that she would neverlet them down. 2he would remain in control and would protect her people with her

dying breath. 2he also assured them that traces of female venom found in the bodiesof many of the assassinated male leaders were deliberately planted by the secret

unknown male power who sought to undermine the entirety of the -mpire of thereptilian people The devious attempt to turn reptilian male against reptilian female

would not work, the ;ueen would see to that. The ;ueen promised to lead herpeople through their time of crisis The *ight of Tears would not bring down the

-mpire, the ;ueen vowed to her people6 our ;ueen shall not fail you, she promisedthem6(

%ong live the ;ueen, Matu thought sarcastically.

(1or the ne$t few periods, males who held positions of power, males who were bloodrelatives to the =ing, and males who were potential aspirants to the throne were

mysteriously murdered. 2ome simply disappeared. 1emale military commanders andadministrators took stronger control and tightened their security measures. To

maintain order, all administrative all military, and all political programs werestreamlined and made more efficient. The -mpire of the reptilian ;ueens became a

highly efficient and well5oiled machine.(

)er stepped to the window.(!nd there were other events of significance at that time, Matu. Many "ther 'orld

enemies of the reptilian -mpire believed that the assassination of the =ing and thetake5over* by the ;ueen and her females was a sign that there was a weakness in

the defenses of the -mpire. The =ings had always run the -mpire, the ;ueens hadalways served as secondary figures. The 7eptilian ;ueens must be weak, enemy

=ings believed.(ot good, Matu said to himself.

(They were wrong...dead wrong. !ttacks were planned and launched against the-mpire of the reptilian people...and they failed miserably. The death of the 7eptilian

=ing of the -mpire had not weakened the resolve of the people at all, in fact,somehow, it seemed to strengthen it.(

(!nd the sei4ure of power by the ;ueen was not restricted to the -mpire of thereptiles alone. Many neighboring star worlds watched as the changes occurred in the

7eptilian -mpire. Invading forces flooded the realms of the already con3uered "ther



'orlds, seeming to keep control of sub+ect populations. 'hat the neighboring worldsdid not e$pect, however was that the invading forces did not stop at the borders of

the 7eptilian 7ealm. They crossed the territorial lines and invaded the worlds of thenearest stars.(

'hoa, big surprise, Matu thought.(!nd they did not stop. The deadly female reptilian warriors e$panded the realm of

the ;ueen*s -mpire more 3uickly and with greater devastation than the armies of the=ings ever had. Though the commanders of the reptilian forces were all females,male reptilian warriors +oined with their female counterparts to bring glory and

treasure to the Throne of the ;ueen. Most believed in their ;ueen and their Throne,

others fought out of fear for their own safety. But regardless of the reason, therewards of victory for the soldier were greater.(

(The -mpire of the reptiles became a realm of complete and total female dominationand control. 'here once the reptiles had lived and prospered under the -ra of the

reptilian 'arrior =ings, during the #ynasties of the 7eptilian ;ueens, the -mpiree$panded as never before and it leapt to the forefront as the most powerful of all of

the 2tar -mpires in the inth 7ealm of -7I#!/2. The fierce -mpire of the reptilian-=H =ings had become a nearly invincible #ynasty of -=H5T 7eptilian ;ueens.(

)er suddenly stopped. He said no more. He +ust stared at the stars.

Matu was relieved...and he was overwhelmed. He sat back in his chair. He looked outthe window at the stars. He stared intently at them. 2omewhere out there, he said tohimself, somewhere out there, there is a world of reptilian beings. Here I sit, he

reflected. I am the product of an ancient primate being, call him !dam or &ro5Magnon or whatever...and out there in the stars are reptilian beings who are

descended of an ancestor called 'kheb'.How arrogant we are, Matu thought to himself. How arrogant.



Chapter III

Empire of the ReptilianQueens

(How did you sleep, Matu?( )er asked him.(I had dreams, Master...( the apprentice answered him.

(#reams of...?( the -lder probed.Matu smiled weakly.

(I had dreams of the ;ueen of 7eptiles, Master...( he answered. ("r...at least, I thinkthat she was the ;ueen, Master. 2he was hideous...she was terrifying. 2he had

scales and she had dripping fangs...and she was green. 0ery green. !nd she was tall,Master, very, very taIl. Maybe @A or @ feet tall. !nd she was going to eat me, sir. I

was scared ...it woke me up6 I did not sleep much after that dream.(

("h, Matu...( )er smiled. (ou have forgotten something.(Matu could not imagine what the -lder was talking about.

(ou have forgotten, Matu...( )er was still smiling. (The reptilian people no longerlook like reptiles. They are not frightening in their appearance at all now. #o you

remember that I told you that they were a very beautiful people now, perhaps the

most beautiful people in our gala$y at this time. our dream was a fabrication of yourimagination, Matu. It is not the way things are today.(

Matu looked at the Master. 'ell, that*s some relief he said to himself. Beautiful, huh?'ell, not this ;ueen...not the one in my dream. 2he was a real...

(It is time that you learn of the ways of the 7eptiles, Matu...( )er began. (ou mustlearn of their institutions and their traditions...and you must learn them well. 1or in

the ways of the 7eptiles, you will find the keys to many of the secrets of the *!ncient"nes*.(

Matu made his way to the table and sat down. He was ready...again.(!s the reptilian humanoid beings evolved, because of the peculiar construction of

their mouths, there was always a lingering hiss as they spoke. It is similar to what

we call a lisp in our world, Matu. If they said the word *stone*, for e$ample, it wouldcome out *sss5tone*. If the *2* sound was at the end of a word, it seemed to be evenlonger, like *horse*, for e$ample. The reptilian people would say, *hor5ssss*.

Throughout the many generations of the reptilians, the *5sss* sound became asignature of their languages. !s a result, in all of the "ther 'orlds, the sound *5sss*

itself came to represent the reptilian people. The reptilian people became knownthroughout the "ther 'orlds as the *222* or the *2225!*.(

;uite appropriate, Matu thought to himself. ! reptilian people who would be knownby the hiss of their speech. )robably scary, too. Then it occurred to him...



('ere they not known as the -=H. Master?( he asked.(That is true, Matu "n their home worlds, they called themselves the descendants of

the -=H. But on the "ther 'orlds, all reptilian descendants were called the 222.(Matu nodded his understanding to the -lder.

(ow here is something very important to remember, Matu. !s the most powerfulfemale in the 7eptilian -mpire, the ;ueen was the ultimate symbol and embodiment

of the 222 people. 2he was known, in the words of the "ther 'orld people, as *222,the 2upreme "ne*, or even 222, the /ltimate "ne*.((2he was the ;ueen of the 222...( Matu added.

(es, Matu, that is correct. But there is a tradition in the stars that is held to by the

kings and 3ueens of the -mpires of the gala$y. In order to show their power, theirtitle, they doubled their names to indicate their regal position. Thus, the reptilian

;ueen was officially known in the stars, and in her -mpire, as *Her Ma+esty, ;ueen2225222*. "n some of the "ther 'orlds, her name was pronounced in a slightly

different manner. Here she was known as *Her Ma+esty, ;ueen 2225!5222* or *HerMa+esty, ;ueen 225!522*. In some cases, she was even called *;ueen 22!522!*.(

;ueen 225!522 or ;ueen 22!522!, Matu began making notes. This was important,he was sure of that.

(!s you write, Matu...( )er stopped him. (...also write these words down.(

Matu kept writing...*follower not assistant*.(!nd add yet another suffi$, Matu...the ending *5/*, which is actually the plural of

more simply, The 22!57* of the -mpire.(Holy cow6 Matu thought to himself.

(Is that where the title &4ar here on earth comes from, Master?( he asked e$citedly.)er nodded. (es, Matu. !s we proceed, you will find that many of the titles used onour own earth are rooted in the titles for the ;ueen of the 7eptiles in the faraway

(es, Matu...( )er said. (The !225!225IM were warriors who stood at the side of the;ueen and e$ecuted her every command and desire with a ruthlessness and ferocity

that was beyond compare. To make sure that the !225!225IM were always ready,always fierce and volatile warriors ready to destroy at an instant, the ;ueen kept her

*assassins* constantly under the influence of a drug by her M!=H scientists, a groupwe shall speak of more later, Matu.(

Matu remembered the e$planation given for the name *assassin* by the e$perts. Thename was supposed to have come from a drug called *hashashim*. But according to

)er, it was the drug that was named first, for the !225!225IM. !ma4ing6 In both

cases, in the 7eptilian -mpire and here on -arth, it was a drug that producedruthless and violent warriors.

He looked at the -lder with a 3ui44ical look, wondering where he was wrong.(o, Matu...( )er sat back. (ou are not wrong. In time, you will learn the secret of

the -ssenes of our history books. They were guardians of a religion based on thereptilian ;ueen that we have been learning about. But patience, young one. 'e

Matu was e$cited.



(ow, Matu...what would be the name of the followers of the ;ueen of the 7eptiles?()er interrupted his e$citement.

(They would be...( Matu looked at his notes, ( ..they would be called the 225/, while +ust one follower would be called 225/2.(

(Tell me the names of the assistants that you have learned of so far...( )er asked of

the apprentice.(This is my list of titles, sir...( Matu said.

(...each of the ;ueen*s 7oyal assistants would be known as an 225225I.((...as a group, the 7oyal assistants would be known as the 225225IM.(

)er nodded his approval.

('ell done, Matu...but let us not stop here, let us continue.(Matu kept repeating the names...225I...225225I...225IM...225225IM...(In the early days of the reptilian -mpire, when war was fought claw to claw,

reptilian drone warriors had a special way of confronting any enemy that they faced.!t first, they stood as tall as they could, spreading their wings, trying to frighten its

enemy with its si4e. Then, they would begin to slowly drop to a crouching position,much like a cobra whose head drops slightly as it makes ready to strike. Moving

slowly from side to side, the drone let out a slow warning hiss, *sss5sss*. Then, as afinal warning, it opened its +aws and bared its fangs, letting out a guttural rush of air

from deep within its body. It sounded like a =omodo dragon, Matu ...the sound cameout...*khaaaa* (

=haaa5aaa6 Matu e$aggerated the sound. He had heard the fearsome sound of the

=omodo dragons, the loud e$hale that seemed to vibrate everything around it.(It was often the last sound that most enemies heard...( )er added.

(But the sound that terrified more enemies than any other was the sound made bythe reptilian females. Cust as the male drones crouched and hissed, so too the

females lowered themselves +ust before their attack. But as they began to hiss,Matu, here was the difference and what terrified their enemies. !t the end of their

hiss, the females would spit their venom into the eyes of their enemies. The sound

was something like *sss5sss* and then a loud *ttt* sound. 2ssss5ss5ttt6 !nd then thevenom came spraying out. Blinded or paraly4ed, the enemy had little chance of

surviving what would come ne$t. The claws, the fangs or the writhing death thatmeant that the venom had found its way into the blood stream...in all cases, death

was virtually certain.((In time, Matu...the spitting sound, the *ttt* came to represent the reptilian females

themselves. ! way in which people of "ther 'orlds distinguished between thereptilian males and females was to call the males, the 222, and the females, the

2225TT. 2ome people would never know the reptilian females as anything other thanthe TT.(

TT meant *reptilian female*, Matu thought to himself, actually it was the sound of thespit. 2225TT meant *female of the reptiles*. ot too confusing, he told himself.

(But now, Matu...( )er stopped. (%et us test your newly ac3uired knowledge again.(



Matu smiled, he was ready.('hat Matu,..( )er began slowly, (...what would the title of the ;ueen be as the

(That is correct, Matu6( he congratulated him. (But I wish to e$plain a curious termhere. The reptilian people were known as the 222, you are aware of that. But you

must remember that the contact most "ther 'orld people had on a day to day basis

(Is there more, Master?( the young man asked.(Titles of the ;ueen...( )er hinted.Matu thought for a moment.

(...!2T5!2T5! is the title of the ;ueen in her role as the Highest 7eptilian 1emale6()er sat back.

(That is e$traordinarily well done, Matu...( he said. (ou are doing e$tremely well.(Matu smiled a big smile.

(There is one more detail that I would like to share with you, Matu. "ver the manyeons of the #ynasty of the 7eptilian ;ueens, the throne of the ;ueen itself became

known as the Throne of !2T5!2T*, or the !2T Throne. In time, in partial tribute tothe power of the ;ueen of the 7eptilian people, the Throne itself came to be called

simply The !2T*. "ver the course of the history of the gala$y, the star people of all

worlds would eventually come to call their own thrones the !2T of their -mpire.((!s the -mpire of the reptilian ;ueens grew to include thousands of "ther 'orlds, it

became necessary to streamline the institutions of government for ma$imumefficiency with minimal maintenance. To avoid difficulties, a single form of

government was instituted throughout the -mpire. The day to day duties of runningthe business and military affairs of the worlds of the 7eptilian -mpire were always

handled by the 2225T reptilian females who had been appointed by the ;ueen. !ny

and all female and male assistants to the 2225T were held to strict and rigidmeasures of control. o detail, however minute, would go unscrutini4ed by the 2225T

female administrators. !nd no government was permitted to deviate in any way fromthe institutions set in place by the 7eptilian -mpire. !ny and all assistant

administrators to the female Head of 2tate on the "ther 'orlds were known as the2225T5IM. They had to perform the duties assigned to them, e$actly and without

deviation. In fact, Matu, deviation from the standard meant death to those whocommitted the sin. In time, the term 222T5IM was applied to not only the assistant

administrators but to the institutions themselves. In this way, Matu...the 2225T5IM,or the *system* was born.(

I knew it6 Matu celebrated in his mind. The *system* had to come from the name forthe administrators, the 2225T5IM6

(ow, Matu...( )er sat back. (ow, we shall introduce yet another term for your list.(



!nother one? he thought. 2ure, why not.(-arlier, I spoke of the loud guttural sound that was uttered by the reptilian warriors,

the sound *khaaa*, that immediately preceded the strike of death.(Matu remembered that the sound reminded him of =omodo dragons

(The sound *khaaa* would, in time, give birth to the word =H!!, a term that came tomean *#eath* itself. The 222 7eptilian warriors who administered #eath to their

enemies with such ease, both male or female, came to be known as 222!5=H, adeceivingly simple term that literally meant *7eptilian Beings 5 #eath of, or in a moreunderstandable form. *#eath from 7eptilian Beings*.(

"kay...got it, Matu thought to himself.

(!gain, over the course of many eons, as it has happened before, though the title isactually appropriate to the 222 warriors, people of "ther 'orlds came to use the

term 2!=H for both the reptilian warriors and the reptilian people. 2o too, the starsand the home worlds of the reptilian beings would become known as the 22!=H

stars and the 22!=H worlds.(Matu understood and nodded to the -lder.

(=nowing this, Matu...let us return to our list of terms and construct yet anothergroup of names and titles that were used in the 7eptilian -mpire. But this time, let

us construct the titles in terms of the 2!=H military of the 7eptilian beings.(

Holy cow6 Matu said to himself as he wrote furiously. How come so many titles? His

list was getting longer and longer.('hy are there so many titles, Master?( he ventured as he wrote. ('hy not +ust one

simple title or name instead of all the confusing addresses?((-ach title reflected a function of the ;ueen, Matu...( he answered, (...or the

siblings would call him *2on* or *Brother*. They are all the same man, Matu...it is theperspective of the person speaking that has assigned him a different title or name.(

'hew6 Matu thought to himself es, well... I guess so. But it*s still confusing.

*'ell...let us pass on to another institution of the -mpire, Matu...( )er said.

Matu was relieved. )erhaps there won*t be so many names in this one, he thought.



(In the early ages of the -mpire, the ;ueen who sat on the throne performed twoseparate and distinct roles, one as the ;ueen of the -mpire who ruled over her

sub+ects, and the other as the 7oyal ;ueen Mother who gave birth to the 7oyal off5spring, the reptilian )rinces and )rincesses of the future. !fter the *ight of Tears*

era, of course, the focus was on the birthing of females, the future ;ueens of the-mpire.(

(!ll of the titles which we have been looking at. Matu...are titles of the ;ueen in herrole as the 7uler of the -mpire. 'hat we want to look at now are some of the titlesof the ;ueen in her role as the ;ueen Mother.(

'hoops6 Here we go again, Matu thought as he pulled out another sheet of paper.

(Motherhood was represented by the term, M!, the same root which we use on earthtoday. !s the epitome of the essence of Motherhood, the ;ueen as Mother was called

2imple enough, thought Matu.(ow refer back to your list, Matu...( )er told him. (1ollow the titles with me...(

(...as the 1irst Mother and 1irst &iti4en of the -mpire, she was known as the M!5/7,or to put it more simply, the *reat M!7*.(

7ealm, the /ltimate 1emale of the -mpire, and as the *1irst and 1oremost* female ofthe -mpire, the ;ueen was known as *Her Ma+esty, ;ueen M!5TT5/7*.(

M!TT/7...Mater...Mother6 Matu was ama4ed6 The revelations of the titles of the;ueen opened up the doors to the mysteries of where so many of the words came

from.('hat is important to note here, Matu...( )er emphasi4ed, (...is that as the ;ueen of

the 7eptilian -mpire, one of the most powerful realms in the gala$y, the ;ueen was

the embodiment of the -mpire itself. To all of the beings in her realm, she wasknown as *Her Ma+esty, ;ueen M!7*, the *;ueen of the alactic 'aters*. In time, the

*'aters of Heaven* and the ;ueen herself would be e3uated in identity and scope.Both would be addressed by the same title...the *reat M!7*.(

'ow6 Matu thought. *Mar* is the %atin word for *ocean*6(ow let us look to your list again and try to construct the names and titles of the

;ueen*s assistants, Matu.(

Matu took his list out again...and another sheet of paper.)er began again.

(The individual 7oyal !ssistants to the ;ueen Mother were the M!75M!75I...((...as a group, they were known as the M!75M!75IM...(

(...female Heads of 2tate on "ther 'orlds were known as the M!75!...((...individual followers of the ;ueen were known as the M!75/2...(

(...and the followers as a group were known as the M!75/.()er paused.

Matu was still writing as )er sat back. Matu finally stopped and looked up.)er was waiting for him to finish.

(I am done, Master...( Matu said. (Thank you for waiting for me.(

(The mating of the reptilian ;ueen, Matu...( )er began again, (...was unlike the

mating that we know about.(



Matu sat back, his eyes were wide open. )er had his attention.('hen the ;ueen mated, Matu, she was able to carry the semen of her mate for the

rest of her life.((2he what?( Matu was caught completely off5guard He sat up.

(#o you remember that I told you that the ancestors of the reptilian people wereinsect like, almost like dragonfiies and bees. If you did not know it. Matu, the ;ueen

of the bee5hive here on -arth mates +ust once in her life. 2he carries the semen in aspecial pouch and from that pouch she can fertili4e all of the eggs she lays from thattime on.(

Matu was ama4ed.

('hen the reptilian humanoids evolved from their insect stages, the reptilian ;ueenhad retained her ability to do the same thing. 2he was able to keep the semen of

every mate that she had ever been with.((#id all of the reptilian females have that ability, Master?( Matu asked.

(es...( Matu*s teacher said, leaning forward. (But here is a very important thing toremember, Matu.(

Matu leaned forward.(!ll reptilian females have the ability to conceive and produce off5spring...but only

the ;ueen can have 7oyal off5spring.(

"kay, Matu thought to himself. I think I can understand that.(ou see, Matu...every egg that a ;ueen lays, which is fertili4ed with the semen fromher pouch...every one of them will become a female6(

(-very one, Master?( Matu said incredulously.(es...( )er answered, (...every one6(

Matu thought it over.(But where do the males come from then, Master?( Matu asked his -lder.

(The males, Matu...( )er paused again, (...the males come from eggs which are notfertili4ed.(

Matu had to sit back. 'hat?(The eggs are not fertili4ed, Master?( he was confused.

(That is right, Matu...( )er answered. (The males born to the ;ueen, her sons, have

no father...the egg they came from was not fertili4ed.((But...( Matu was speechless.

)er smiled.(That is the way of the 7oyal =heb families, Matu. The males have no father. Believe

it or not, to this day, the bees of our earth behave in the same way. The drones of ahive are born from eggs that are not fertili4ed.(

(But...( Matu continued to sputter.

(!nd the females, Matu...( )er interrupted him, (...the females are born displayingan aura and a scent that all other reptilians can feel and smell. o other females

carry themselves or smell like a 7oyal 1emale.(Matu was completely stunned.

(The 7oyal male off5spring of the 7eptilian ;ueen have no father...( )er repeated.(!nd the 7oyal female off5spring have a distinct sense to them...and a distinct smell.

It is one of the most entrancing scents one can ever encounter and it is an aura thatis virtually irresistible. There are few males of any species that can resist the allure

of a 7oyal reptilian female.(Holy cow6 Matu was thinking to himself. Holy cow6

(The ;ueens of the Kheb -mpire, as their ancestors had done before them, alwaysmated with the strongest and most powerful males. In the primordial days, the

reptilian5insect ancestral ;ueens soared into the sky to find the strongest and most



able males. In later times, when the kheb' humanoids evolved, rituals wereconducted in which the most able males were pitted in contests with each other,

running, +umping, performing feats of strength and fighting with each other until onemale proved himself to be the best. !s part of the reward, he was given the

opportunity to mate with the ;ueen...and she would carry his seed with her for therest of her life. This contest, Matu, is what has inspired the creation of the contests

between males here on earth. The original purpose of the competitions was toproduce a fitting mate for the ;ueen of the 2tars of Heaven.(Matu stood up. He could bear no more.

(Master...wait6( he almost shouted. (The birth of a male child without a father...the,

uh ...I mean, if that...I guess I...(He stuttered and stopped, he could not find the words to continue.

)er nodded to him.(es, Matu...( he answered without being asked. (The birth of a male child who has

no father...a male child who is the 2on of the #ivine Being...yes, Matu...that is thefoundation of the story of the &hrist child.(

(Cesus6( Matu was beside himself. (Cesus6 The story of Cesus, Master...6((!nd the story of Buddha and other prophets...( )er finished the thought for him.

(The story of the son of the 2upreme Being born of no human father... it is based on

the real story of the reptilian 7oyal Mother and her male off5spring.(Matu was absolutely stunned.(!nd remember this, Matu...the ;ueen could have mated as a very young female

and never mated again. To people of the "ther 'orlds who might never have seenher mate, yet who became pregnant and gave birth...(

(They would have thought she was a virgin6( Matu almost shouted. (They wouldthink that it was an immaculate conception...and that she was a virgin6(

Holy cow6 he thought to himself6 Holy cow6 "f course6(Master )er6 Master )er...( Matu looked pleadingly at his mentor. (How can we ever

tell this story to the rest of the world? 'ho can we tell?(2uddenly, he stopped himself. He remembered his vows. He sat down again.

(I...I am sorry, Master...( he apologi4ed.

Matu stared at his notes. He was shaking his head.)er could see the anguish of the revelation in Matu*s eyes. He remembered how he

had reacted and how he had felt when he had first heard the story. It wase$hilarating...and it was painful. The truth was almost devastating at times. How well

he knew the feelings Matu must be enduring at that moment.)er sent Matu out to walk in the trees...it was time for a break.

Hours later, Matu returned to the %ibrary. )er was sitting, e$amining a few ancient

te$t books in front of him. Matu sat down and pulled out his notes. )er continued toread. Matu was not sure he was ready, but the Master had insisted they continue.

The walk had allowed him to vent some frustration, it had helped.1inally, Matu looked at the -lder, wondering if he knew that he had returned.

(Throughout her lifetime...( )er began again, without looking up.

(...the ;ueen mated only with the finest males of the -mpire. This insured that her

off5spring would have only the finest genetic material in their make5up. This alsoinsured that the 7oyal mating was always vigorous and enduring.(

I*ll bet, Matu thought to himself. )rime athletes...yes, vigorous...I*m sure that*sright.

(But in time, Matu, the running of the -mpire with its thousands of worlds and itshuge numbers of people, even though the ;ueen had the most able

administrators...the running of the -mpire and the bearing of children became far



too difficult for the ;ueen. !nd perhaps more importantly, it became a task that the;ueen simply did not wish to go through any more. !t her command, the scientists

of the -mpire came up with a solution.((It had always been the practice of the ;ueens who ascended to the Throne to

terminate the life of the ;ueen who had preceded her, even though the sitting ;ueenhad very likely been her own mother. But now, the deposed ;ueen could serve a

purpose. 7eptilian scientists were instructed to remove the eggs, and the semenfrom her matings, out of the body of the ;ueen who sat on the Throne. "nceremoved, the eggs and semen were transplanted into the womb of the elder ;ueen6

In this way, the genetic material was taken from the ;ueen in power and

transplanted into the closest compatible surrogate...her own mother6 !nd eventhough the elder ;ueen carried and delivered the off5spring, they were all still the

genetic children born of the eggs of the ;ueen sitting on the throne. 'ith thisprocedure, the ;ueen of the -mpire was freed to spend her time in pursuit of the

activities which were crucial to the welfare of the realm...and pleasurable to herself.(Matu wondered aloud, ('as the -mpire then possessed of two ;ueens, Master?(

(es, Matu...( )er answered him. (There was the ;ueen of the -mpire, who was theultimate source of power in the realm...and the ;ueen Mother, who was the bearer of

the 7oyal "ff5spring, but who had only minimal power in guiding the affairs of the

-mpire. 2he was simply, the *;ueen Mother(.(The ;ueen Mother, Matu smiled. Holy cow6 the ;ueen Mother6 2o that*s where itcame from6

(The 7eptilian ;ueen who sat on the throne of the -mpire always took the name *!*,a name which simply means The 1irst* or The "ne*. !s the ;ueen she was, of course,

known as *Her Ma+esty, ;ueen !5!*, Matu...( )er continued. ("ver billions of years,the title !5! came to be known to some beings of the "ther 'orlds as *Her

Ma+esty, ;ueen !!*.(!!6 !ma4ing, Matu thought to himself. -%%! in 2panish means *she*. !!6 'ow6

(!nd here is a fact that you must remember in your studies, Matu...( )er stressed tothe young man. (The curious construction of the mouth and throat of the reptilian

beings often resulted in the T sound being pronounced as a sort of *%* sound. The

name !! sometimes sounded like !%%!.((That happens in some 2panish languages, Master...( Matu added.

(That is correct, Matu...( )er smiled. (The double *%* in the 2panish word for yellow*amarillo*, is pronounced as a **. ou are absolutely correct.(

Matu beamed.(2o remember...( )er continued. (The name of the sitting ;ueen is *!5!* or *!!

but in some cases, the name came to us as *!%%!*.(

The young apprentice wrote it down.(ow, I do not wish to confuse you, Matu, but there is one more variation of the

name of the ;ueen that you should be aware of. In the ancient languages ofhumankind, the sound of the letter *%* was often interchanged with the sound of the

letter *7*.(I knew that, Matu thought to himself.

(2ometimes you will hear the name pronounced or you will see the name writtendowr in the ancient languages of Man with the *%* and *7* sounds changed. Thus, the

name of the "ther 'orlds, the first reptilian influences were very suppressive.Instead of administrators, perhaps the better choice of words would be *"verlord*, an

iron5handed ruthless *"verlord*. !nd for the most part, Matu, remember...they werefemales ow, can you tell me what the title would have been for the Heads of 2tate

appointed by the ;ueen? They were the...?( the -lder stopped, waiting for Matu tocomplete the thought.

(The female Heads of 2tate would be the !!5!...( he answered.



(!nd the other names, Matu?( )er asked.(They could have been known as the !%%!5!...or the !77!5!...( Matu replied.

(&orrect, Matu6( )er said. (The reptilian *"verlords on "ther 'orlds became knownas the *!77!5!*s or the *!%%!5!*s...(

)er paused and looked at Matu. Matu knew that he was about to make a point.(&onsider this, Matu...( )er began, (...beings from the stars were known to the

people of the "ther 'orlds as the *!%%!5!*s...(Matu listened to the words, *...beings from outer space are !%%!5!*s. !%%!5!s...2uddenly, it hit him. !%%!5!s... !liens66 Beings from outer space were aliens6 But

wait...6

()er...( he wondered. (How can it be that a word that may be millions of years oldcan be almost the same as a word that we use in a contemporary language like

-nglish? 'ould the word not have changed or at least have been spoken in anancient language instead of one of the languages of today?(

)er smiled. (es...Matu. It would make sense that the word should properly be foundin the ancient languages of long, long ago. But you should also be aware that the

systems put into use on "ther 'orlds were those that had been developed andrefined over billions of years. !nd the wonder of a *system* that works over billions of

years is that is maintains a core of rules and institutions that are virtually

unchanging. 'ith the ferocity of the enforcement of the systems put into play by thereptilians, you will find that a rule, a law, a method of government, and even thewords used will be nearly the same on all "ther 'orlds...they will e$ist in almost the

same form, allowing only for environmental adaptations, they will be put intooperation in almost the same fashion...and the words, Matu...particularly the *key*

words will be virtually unchanged because of either time or location.()er kept looking at Matu.

('hat I am saying, Matu...is that the sound of a word like !%%!5! will be nearly thesame on all "ther 'orlds, and it will survive the test of time...simply because of the

ruthless efficiency of the *2ystem*...the 225225TT5IM.(Matu was nearly floored. The enforcement of a system that would endure thousands

of different worlds and millions of years speaks to the e$treme efficiency of the

system and the total enforcement of the system. My od...are they that thorough?he wondered.

(Throughout the "ther 'orlds, Matu...the !77!5! were the iron5handed symbols ofthe power of the 222 -mpire. !s a result, the populations of the "ther 'orlds began

to apply the name of their reptilian "verlords, the !77!5!, to all reptilian peopleand to the -mpire itself. !nd that is why the central worlds of the reptilian -mpire

came to be known as the *'orlds of the !77!5!*, and the entire -mpire itself was

known as *!77!5!*. Today we call them the stars of..."7I".("h...my...od6 Matu said slowly. "7I"6 !77!5!6 The stars of the reptilian people

are the stars of "rion6 But wait...(Master...( Matu started. (-$cuse me...I still wonder. How can the name "rion, the

name of the stars in -nglish...how can that have been the name of the stars inancient times? 'ould it not have been something else?(

(es...( )er admired the challenge. (The earliest name for the stars of "rion in theannals of Humankind is actually an !kkadian name, Matu...and it is pronounced /7/5

!!

!nd as you can see, even though the name is millions of years old, it remains a nearmatch for the name !77!5!.(



Matu was impressed. Incredible, he thought6 The stars of "rion are the home stars ofa reptilian people who have been influencing the gala$y for billions and billions of

years6 Incredible6!s Matu was reflecting on the power that had given rise to such an incredible -mpire,

)er moved to his favorite place near the window.(ou have done well, Matu...( )er praised him. (ou seem to be grasping rather

easily the derivation of titles in the reptilian -mpire. ow that we have learned someof the names and titles associated with the ;ueen who sat on the throne, let us nowlook at some of the names and titles that were given to the ;ueen in her role as the

Mother of the -mpire.(

Matu pulled out another piece of paper, he noticed that his supply was dwindling.(If you will recall...( the Master reminded the young apprentice, (...in the early days

of the -mpire, the ;ueen who was de5throned was usually terminated. Thisprevented the new ;ueen from having any potential rivals to the throne in the

future. "ftentimes, it was one of the )rincess #aughters who sei4ed the throne.((ou mean one of her own daughters e$ecuted the old ;ueen?( Matu asked with a

look of incredulity on his face.(es, Matu...( )er confirmed. (The #aughter terminated the Mother when she

secured the Throne. But with the developing sciences, the relegating of the old

;ueen to the status of ;ueen Mother solved many problems. 1or one, it freed thenew ;ueen to focus strictly on her duties to the -mpire. It also removed the dangersand health considerations that accompany childbirth. !fter the eggs of the new

;ueen were removed and placed in the body of the old ;ueen, the new ;ueen tooksteps to insure that her off5spring had every opportunity to become strong and

healthy. The surrogate *;ueen Mother* was constantly monitored by the personal7oyal physicians and nurses who had no other responsibility. utrition and proper

e$ercise, sufficient rest and all the things a Mother must do to remain healthy werethe only duties assigned to the ;ueen Mother.(

(To take advantage of her e$periences, however, the new ;ueen would always keepthe ;ueen Mother on the &ouncils and &ourts of the -mpire, providing the ;ueen

and the 7ealm with the benefit of her many years on the Throne. )ampered and

waited on hand and foot, her every need fulfilled and her happiness paramount, thestatus of ;ueen Mother was not without its benefits.(

(In the language of the "rion people, the sound *B* literally meant *the container of,or *the House of. ow...when the *B* sound is pronounced with the long sound of the

letter *-* right after it... B5--...it means to *come out of, or to *give birth*. Thisword...B5--...is written with the letter T...BI, but is pronounced B--. 7emember,

Matu, it means *to come out of or *to give birth*. 'hen a pregnant female *gives

birth*, she is called a *Bl*...a *bee*. The name given to the 7oyal ;ueen Mother wouldalso be *BI*. Thus, her official title was The 7oyal ;ueen Mother, BI*, and would be

pronounced The 7oyal ;ueen Mother, B--*.(;ueen ! and ;ueen BI? Matu smiled. It was almost funny, he thought to himself.

Then it occurred to him...;ueen BI...;ueen B--6 Matu started to ask...(In the language of the !77!5!, the sound 0 is the diminutive of the sound *B*.

That means that it has an inferior value, but maintains the same essence. The sound*0 means the *bearer of or the *carrier of instead of the *container of.(

Matu could see the difference.(!s the *bearer of, or the *carrier of, the eggs of the ;ueen herself, a secondary title

of the ;ueen Mother was ;ueen *0, or ;ueen -0- as she was referred to on the"ther 'orlds.



In the stars of !77!5!, Matu... -0- was the female who gave birth to the off5springof the #ivine "ne.(

Holy cow6 Matu said to himself. -ve, the first mother of %ife on earth according tosome holy scripture...was the 1irst Mother of %ife in the stars of "rion6 Holy cow6

(ow, Matu...( )er began.Matu barely had a chance to get another sheet of paper.

(The daughters of ;ueen !!, born of the ;ueen Mother BI, were reptilian femalesthe TT. To e$press this in the !77!5! language, you must first write down what youwish to focus on in the word. 2ince we wish to address the )rincess #aughters, we

shall first write down the term TT, reptilian females. Then, in order to show where

they came from we would place the term Bl in front of TT. Thus we have BI5TT, aword which literally means *container* 5*reptilian females who are of.(

Matu looked at what he had written.(2o it is much like the suffi$ *5im* or *5us*, Master...( Matu noticed. (The TT means

*reptilian females who are of. Is that not correct, Master?((The *suffi$*, as you put it, tells you what you are speaking of, or who you are

speaking of. If you wished to write *reptilian females of the mother*...( )er paused,(...what would you write, Matu?(

Matu did some scribbling on his papers.

(It would be M! followed by TT, Master...( he said. (I would have to write down theword M!5TT and it would mean *reptilian females from the M!*, or the *Mother*...Iwould write down the word M!5TT.(

('ell done, Matu...( )er smiled. (&an you tell me what the name would be for the*reptilian females from heaven*?(

Matu noticed that )er had nodded but he had a furrowed brow, a 3uestioning look,must be missing something, he thought to himself.

Matu looked at what he had written. 5TT... 5TT... Holy cow6(Master6( he was surprised. (5TT...that is the name of the oddess of the 2ky ir

ancient -gypt. 5TT or utt is the ancient oddess of the 2ky6(

that most of the names of the ancient deities can be deciphered through the use ofthe language of the !77!5! which I am showing you.(

Holy cow6 Matu repeated. Holy cow6(The title of the reptilian females born of the ;ueen Mother BI would be...?( )er

waitec for Matu to answer.

(BI5TT...( Matu looked at his notes and repeated the name.(!nd as )rincess #aughters, Matu?( )er asked. (7emember...they are royalty.(

(It would be the term BI...( Matu began, (...but with a double TT. 2o it would be thetitle BI5TT5TT...(

Matu noticed the curiosity.(!lmost like the name Betty, Master...( he said.

(-$actly like the name Betty, Matu...( )er corrected. (The title of a )rincess #aughte*born of ;ueen Mother BI would be BI5TT5TT as you say.(

-li4abeth Holy cow6 Holy cow6 he kept repeating.

)er broke his train of thought.



(But let us say...( )er kept going, (...that you wish to write down the title of the;ueen Mother in her role as the Mother or *&ontainer( of 7eptilian 1emales. 'hat

then would the title be, Matu?((1irst, I would write down what she is...the -M...( Matu wrote on his paper again.

(Then I would write down what she is *of*...TT. That would give me the title *TT5BI*.2he would bear the title TT5BI as Mother of 7eptilian 1emales...right, Master?(

(That is correct, Matu...( )er answered. (But when the vowel sound appears at theend of the word, it is usually dropped, Matu. 'hile TT5BI is correct, the actual titleused for the ;ueen Mother was TT5B.(

Matu decided to take a chance and take a guess.

(!s the Mother of 7eptilian )rincesses...she would be known as TT5TT5B...( Matulooked up to )er for confirmation.

)er smiled and nodded.(That is correct, Matu...( he agreed. (2he would known as Her Ma+esty TT5TT5B.(

(But regardless of the title of the ;ueen Mother, whether she was called ;ueen B--,;ueen Mother -0- or even ;ueen Mother TT5B, she never forgot, nor was she

permitted to forget, what her role in the grand scheme of the 222 -mpire really was.Though she was the bearer of the 7oyal "ffspring of the -mpire, she served

completely...and totally...at the whim and pleasure of her daughter, the /ltimate

)ower of the -mpire, *Her Ma+esty ;ueen !!*.(That would be a good thing not to forget, Matu thought to himself.(To aid in the administration of the -mpire, ;ueen !! chose seven of her )rincess

daughters to help her administer to the -mpire. Though numerous eggs would beborn, only the seven females who showed e$traordinary abilities, incredible beauty,

ruthless cunning... and a cold5blooded willingness to e$ecute the will of the;ueen...would be permitted to remain on the &entral 'orlds to assist with the

running of the -mpire. 'hile the )rincess #aughters assigned to "ther 'orlds couldhardly be distinguished from their sisters on the &entral 'orlds, never5the5less, only

seven were chosen to assist the ;ueen of the -mpire directly.((!s reptilian females, the 2even were 2225TT. But as the daughters of ;ueen !!,

answered only to the ;ueen. In the -mpire of !77!5!, only the ;ueen held morepower than the 2even 2225T5/7s.(

The *2even 2isters*, Matu nearly +umped6

(Master...( he had to ask. (The *2even 2isters*...the *2even 2isters* is a name givento the stars of the )leiades, Master, not the stars of "rion. How can that be?(

(That is true, Matu...( )er nodded with a devilish grin. ('hat you do not know is thatthe original title of the *2even 2isters* was given to the stars of "rion. The two

shoulder stars, the two stars of the lower skirt and the three belt stars wereoriginally symbolic of the *2even 2225T5/7s. "n our world, at a much later date, the

name *2even 2isters* was transferred to the stars of the )leiades.("f course...Matu made a note on the switch.

(&an you tell me, Matu...( )er asked. ('hat would the title of the *House of 7oyal7eptilians*...what would their title be?(

Matu made some notes again. *7oyal 7eptilians*...222, and then House...B.(The title would be 2225B, Master...( he answered.



(That is absolutely correct, Matu...( )er nodded. (The seven )rincess #aughters ofthe ;ueen constituted the seven members of the *1amily of the 7oyal 7eptilians* or

the *House of 7oyal 7eptilians*, the *2225B*. They were the 2upreme 1amily and theHighest House of the 222 worlds. &an you tell me, Matu, what title would be given to

Matu was still e$cited.(The 2225B5! 2225T5/7 would be a title for the seven )rincesses of the 7oyal

House of the -mpire6( Matu offered.(-$actly, Matu6( )er was happy for the revelations that were coming to the

apprentice. (ow...do you remember the suffi$ that meant *death*?(Matu flipped through his notes.

(es, Master...( he found it. (It was the suffi$ *5=*. That is where the name 2!=H

came from. It meant *death from reptiles*.((ood, Matu...( the -lder said. (The seven )rincesses, as the highest representativesof the ;ueen had the power to administer death sentences to anyone they might

choose, for any reason they desired. They were the final +udges of their realms. 2otoo the ;ueen Mother had the right to e$ecute anyone who did not serve her every

need or who might interfere with her duty as the ;ueen Mother. "f course, the;ueen herself had the power of administering death to anyone at any time for any

reason. In short, Matu, all of the 7oyal 1emales had the power to administer death.Because of this, the people of the "ther 'orlds, and the reptilian people of the Home

'orlds called the House of the 2225B by another name...to them, it was the Houseof the 2225B5! Cudges, the House of the 2225B5=, and the House of 7eptilian

#eath.(

Matu was writing as 3uickly as he could.(ow, Matu...( )er said to the young man, (...remember this, the 2upreme &ourt of

The I and the -, Matu wrote down.(ow, my young friend...( )er said, (...we shall leave the 2upreme &ourt and take a

look at the military forces of the !77!5! -mpire. &an you tell me, Matu, what wasthe original name of the reptilian warriors?(

Matu flipped through his notes.(They were called the 2!=H, Master...( he answered, (...and the 'arriors of the early

7eptilian =ings were called the -=H.((&orrect, Matu...( )er confirmed, (...but the term for 7eptilian 'arrior is technically

2!=H. In regards to the 2!=H 'arriors, can you tell me...were they male warriors orfemale warriors?(.

Matu searched frantically. He could find no notation that could tell him whether the2!=H were male or female.

(Both...( )er answered himself. (Both males and females made up the early 2!=Hforces, young one. 7emember, 2!=H means *death from reptiles*, all reptiles6(



Matu nodded, he would not forget again.

(In the early days of the -mpire, when the -=H =ings were still in power, an eliteguard was assigned to protect the ;ueen. 7emember, Matu, that at this time she

was still giving birth to the 7oyal off5spring. In those days, she was still the ;ueenM!. The warriors who were assigned to the ;ueen were among the finest warriors of

the -mpire. 2!=H soldiers who had e$celled in battle but who could no longer be inthe field because of in+ury or some form of incapacitation could be appointed to theelite guard as a reward for their services. Intelligent and e$perienced, these skilled

and vicious warriors were also given the newest technology to assist them in the

protection of the ;ueen. 'arriors who were assigned to the elite guard of the ;ueenM! were known as...the M!=H.(

(!s time passed, the ;ueens preferred to have female M!=H warriors beside them.By the time of the *ight of Tears*, the M!=H forces were comprised almost

completely of female warriors. In the dangerous times that immediately followed, itwas the M!=H warriors who stayed loyally at her side, protecting her from the

various assassination attempts on her life. In the later eras, it was the warriors of theM!=H forces who developed the technologies of mind control that would prove to be

one of the most important developments of the -mpire.**

Mind control? Matu*s ears perked up. Mind control?(In the days of the -mpire when reptilian drone =ings ruled, con3uered populationshad but one choice< submit or be destroyed. 1ar too often, the people of con3uered

worlds refused to give in. In the -ra of the ;ueens, it was an early matriarch whoreali4ed that the destruction of con3uered populations was also the destruction of a

potentially productive work force. Turning to the scientists of her elite forces, theM!=H forces, she instructed them to actively research and develop the science of

mind manipulation. The early ;ueen had hoped that rather than destroy thedissenters, the M!=H scientists could find some way to *re5program* the minds of the

con3uered populations.(2mart move, Matu thought...smart move.

(!nd, Matu, they succeeded. !t first, through the simple use of electromagnetic

stimulation of the brain, the M!=H were able to create a *reward and punishment*system that could be used to control the resistant masses. But over many millions of

years of research and development, the manipulation of the brain was successfullyaccomplished, through many different techni3ues. 1rom long5distance influence and

control, to the immediate programming of minds in the laboratory, the M!=H mind5altering technologies became the foundation of the administrative programs put into

practice on the newly con3uered worlds.(

(The military forces of the con3uered worlds were always the first sub+ects toundergo the re5programming of their minds. !fter their minds had been altered, the

con3uered forces obediently professed their complete loyalty and dedication to the;ueen. "nce tested and confirmed, all warriors and military forces of con3uered

worlds were placed into the combined warrior forces of the reptilian -mpire. !s newlydedicated soldiers of the ;ueen FTT5TTG, they were trained to become the most

vicious and skilled warriors in the inth realm, and were given some of the mostadvanced lethal weapons and death5dealing technologies. !s a result of their training

and the available weaponry, the warriors of the ;ueen*s forces became theun3uestioned champions in the delivery of #eath on behalf of their Matriarch. The

combined forces were known as the *;ueen*s #eath*, the mighty and invincible TT5TT5=H!!, or more simply...the T!=H.(

(But a distinction is necessary here, Matu. The T!=H forces which remained in placein their home worlds, performing their duties as defenders and protectors of their

home regions were known as T!=H, that is true ...but the forces which were taken



into the heart of the armies of the -mpire and conducted the wars of e$pansion andcon3uest on behalf of the ;ueen and the 222 realms ...these combined forces were

known as the 2225T!=H or the 2225T!=H5!.(The swastika6 Matu was astonished again6 The swastika6 The combined forces of the

Matu was nervous. He was also e$cited and afraid. He wanted to learn more and he

didn*t want to listen to any more. He was honored to have been allowed to learn thesecrets of the Brotherhood, and he hated knowing that he had been lied to during his

life in the 7eal world. Hmmph6 he grunted. The *7eal* world...if only people knew theTruth.

and handed him the key to the *7oom of Memories*.Matu looked at the key in his hand. It was the key that would allow him to gather the

things that he had come to the school with...and leave. Matu never hesitated. He

stood up and handed the key back to the Master. Then he walked to his stack ofpapers...and picked up the pen. He was ready again.)er smiled. He turned and walked to the window.

(The people of the !77!5! stars knew, through their scientists, that all %ife in the/niverse had been born of the reat 0oid. In a great e$pulsion of the Breath* of the

0oid, in a primordial e$hale, all of the elements necessary for creating %ife in all itsforms were e+ected into our /niverse. In this way, %ife was born. But the scientists

had also discovered that one day the *reat 0oid* would inhale, that the entire/niverse would fall back into itself. %ife would return to where it had begun.(

('hen the reptilian people attempted to imitate the sound of the *Breath* of the 0oid,they opened their mouths wide, and e$haled a long and hard breath. Because of the

peculiar structure of their laryn$, they emitted a hard hissing breath sound...*khaa5

aaa*. 1rom this odd hissing sound of the reptilian *breath* came the name that the222 people would use to represent the 0oid...the =H!!!.(

(-ven in the -ra of the =ings, it was accepted that the 0oid, the reat =H!!, whichgave birth to all things...was feminine in essence. "nly a female essence could give

birth to the /niverse. -merging from the womb of the 0oid, the %ife of the /niversewas born. 'hen the ;ueens rose to the throne, because of her great power, it was

(In the -mpire of the 222 reptilian people, the ;ueen was the living =H!! itself. 2he.like the reat 0oid, was %ife...and she was #eath. In keeping with the 7oyal

tradition, history would record her name in this regard as *Her Ma+esty, the 7oyal=H!!5=H!!, or also as *Her Ma+esty, the 7oyal =H!5=*.(

)er paused.



Matu knew what was ne$t. He readied another sheet of paper.(!s the /ltimate embodiment and #ivine manifestation of the reat =H!!, the

;ueen was the /ltimate TT 1emale of the -mpire, ;ueen !! therefore bore the titleof *Her 2upreme Ma+esty, the #ivine ;ueen =H!!5TT*.(

The sacred -gyptian cat, Matu thought to himself as he wrote the title down.(!s the #ivine =H!!5TT, the /ltimate female manifestation of the 0oid itself, and as

the *1irst and 1oremost* /7 representative of the reat 0oid, ;ueen !! was knownas *Her 2upreme Ma+esty, the #ivine ;ueen =H!!5TT5/7*.(This is the oddess Hathor, Matu thought to himself as he wrote the name down.

the 1irst and 1oremost /7 representative of the 0oid, ;ueen !! bore the title of*Her 2upreme Ma+esty, the #ivine ;ueen =H!!5/7*. In time, this title became simply

*Her 2upreme Ma+esty, the #ivine ;ueen =H!7*.('hat must this name be? Matu wondered.

!lmost as if in anticipation, )er began again.(In this title of the ;ueen, Matu, in the title #ivine *=H!7*, lies one of the secrets of

the *!ncient "nes*, the Teachers of "ld who began this Brotherhood, Matu. The;ueen of the stars of !77!5! had the power and wealth of thousands of stars at

her fingertips. 2he could do anything she wanted, she could go anywhere she

wanted, and she could have anything she wanted. 'ith such power and wealth ather disposal, the ;ueen made it her duty, and her responsibility, to pursueknowledge, to find wisdom, to collect the finest art treasures, and to amass the

wealth of all of the cultures under her control.((!nd most important of all, Matu, she made it her duty to en+oy them...to en+oy all of

the pleasures of her realm. Her day was consumed in en+oying the delights of art,music, dance and culinary treats...and especially, she en+oyed pursuing and indulging

in the +oys of physical pleasure6(Matu sat forward.

(!nd she en+oyed herself, Matu. 2he indulged in the physical pleasures of everyworld in her -mpire, and she indulged in the physical pleasures with only the finest

and youngest males of her -mpire. It had become the great passion of *Her Ma+esty,

the #ivine ;ueen =H!7* to become one with the pleasures of the body.(=H!7...H!7...'hore6 Matu*s mind raced. &ould that have been the source of that

*bad* word that meant a horrible woman?(%est you think that the pursuit of the pleasures of the body by the ;ueen was but

the e$ercise of base animal desires, rest assured, Matu, that there was yet anotherreason for her incessant hunger. ou see, not many people know that when the body

revels in the throes of passionate intimacy, there is an electrical energy that is

produced. !lmost all people focus on the purely superficial and immediate feelings ofpleasure. ! precious few can en+oy the feelings which follow the intensity of the

pleasure, the so5called *after5glow*. There are but a handful of human beings whounderstand these things and are able to place their attention on the energies that

are created. In the pursuit of pleasure, the ;ueen of !77!5! sought more than theover5powering feeling of ecstasy...she sought to create the electrical energy that

allowed her to e$pand her essence and further her link to the reat 0oid.(Matu was totally astounded...and 3uiet.

ood %ord, he thought. 2e$ creates energy? -lectrical energy?(Be clear on this e$planation, Matu...( )er emphasi4ed. (This is not a +ustification for

promiscuous behavior...it is not. /nbridled se$ does not focus on the potentialenergies which are produced and could be utili4ed. My words to you are but an

e$planation that there are great mysteries in the most basic and simple of humanbehaviors. /nfortunately, Humankind is not taught how to recogni4e the energy, nor



is it taught how to harness the natural electrical forces that can come from thee$pression of the passion of the soul.(

Matu sat stunned at what )er had +ust e$plained. 2omewhere in the act of intimacy,there was an electrical energy that could be harnessed. o +udgment of good or bad,

only the proper and improper use of electrical energy...incredible6(2erving at the pleasure of the ;ueen were carefully selected reptilian males who

had but one duty to perform...to pleasure the ;ueen in any way she chose. !rtists,dancers, musicians and e$perts in physical pleasures, only the finest specimens of222 masculinity were permitted to be with the ;ueen. If any should fail or falter,

they were immediately terminated and cast aside, forced to live on a faraway world

for the undesirables. But if they were obedient and faithful servants, if they weree$emplary in their service to the ;ueen, they were treated as the 2upreme Males of

the -mpire. Beholding to *Her Ma+esty, the #ivine ;ueen =H!7, the males who werealways at her side, were known as the =H!75IM.(

Matu nearly +umped...again6 H!75IM6 Harem6 ! stable of pleasure mates6 But notfemales...males6 Holy cow6 My od...what if the world really knew? I wonder what

they would say if they really knew that a harem meant a stable of males?(To serve as one of the 7oyal =H!75IM, young males were chosen for their physical

beauty and their ability to pleasure the ;ueen. In time, the ;ueen asked her M!=H

scientists to develop a breeding program that would provide the ;ueen with betterand more beautiful =H!75IM each and every generation. !s the breeding programprogressed, the males did, in fact, become more and more handsome...and under

the training aspects of the program, they became more and more adept in the !rtsof )assion. !nd remember, Matu, the most successful males provided the *seed*

which was used to bring forth the )rincesses of the -mpire. This also served toproduce reptilian )rincesses who were the most beautiful women in the -mpire.(

(/nder the =H!75IM program, some physical attributes which the ;ueen had foundundesirable were bred out of the =H!75IM males. 2ince youthfulness was something

the ;ueen found to be a desirable characteristic, =H!75IM males were bred to haveshort lifespans. This assured the ;ueen that all of her lovers would always be young

and healthy. !nd even though males who were *long5lasting* in their ability to

produce pleasure was desirable the ;ueen insisted that males in the =H!75IMprogram be bred so that they would only have one or two *peaks* of se$ual pleasure.

2ince the ;ueen was capable of numerous *peaks* of pleasure, restricting the malesto only one or two *peaks* insured that the ;ueen would have tc have multiple

partners during any of her times of pleasure. In this fashion, boredom would neverset in for the ;ueen.(

Matu could hardly believe what he was hearing. Males in the stars of "rion were

being bred to pleasure the ;ueen6 'hat a concept6(But the ;ueen was also wise, Matu...( )er continued. (To keep the females in her

service happy, she also e$tended the rewards of the =H!75IM program to the mostloyal and faithful helpers. -ventually all of the males in the -mpire became sub+ect to

the breeding program. In time, all reptilian males of the -mpire passed away at amuch younger age than the females. 7eptilian females would also be able to en+oy

their own youthful partners, and because all males were only capable of one or two*peaks*, they could also en+oy multiple partners if they so desired. outhful partners

also assured the females that they need not be concerned with male egos thatneeded to go on and on about their great e$periences.(

(!nd the e$tension of the =H!7IM program to the rest of the home worlds had otheradvantages. =eeping all reptilian males young prevented them from achieving

wisdom and maturity, something that could potentially cause a problem for the-mpire. oung and immature males do not challenge the basic precepts of the ;ueen

and her -mpire. !nd long life was unnecessary for reptilian males anyway...their



purpose was, after all, but to serve the ;ueen and provide some pleasure for herloyal followers.(

(-ventually the =H!75IM program became a foundation stone in the ways of the 222-mpire, Matu...( )er finished. (These are but a few of the reasons why it was

adopted.(Matu was silent. The revelations of the -lder never ceased to ama4e him. There was

so much to ask. !s he looked up from his papers, he noticed that the Master wassilent, as if in deep thought. Matu thought it best to wait for a moment. 'hen he wasready to begin again, Matu wondered what he would speak of ne$t.

In moments, )er spoke again.

(I wish only to mention this in passing, Matu...in time you will understand why wemust mention the architecture of 222 -mpire. In the primeval times of the reen

'orld, the Home 'orld of the reptilian 222 people, the original reptilian dragonfly5bee ancestors of the 222 built nests of mud. "ftentimes the nests reached up into

the sky, towering over the ground around it. &ells inside the nests were generallyhe$agonal but were always built around a central chamber that reached up through

the core of the nest. The central room was the largest chamber in the nest and had acircular floor plan with walls that loomed high up into the ceiling. ests of several

colonies often resulted in tremendous mud structures with spires sticking straight up

into the sky.(('hen the reptilian humanoids evolved, they generally built their shelters with around floor plan and a covering that made the hut resemble a dome. In later stages

of their evolution, the buildings of significance, from the &ourt of the -mpire to theMeeting Halls and other central buildings favored tall towering spires with large

circular central chambers, or dome5like buildings with round floor5plans. In the era ofthe ;ueens, official structures dedicated to the ;ueen in her role as the =H!! always

had multiple spires and a round chamber at its core.(The description sounded like a modern skyline to Matu.

(In the early #ynasties of the reptilian ;ueens, while the ;ueen was still responsiblefor ruling the -mpire and giving birth to the 7oyal off5spring, the 222 scientists

working with the M!=H development programs had uncovered a special nutrient for

the ;ueen, one that assisted her in several ways. #rawing on the well5known factthat special proteins in the blood of warm5blooded creatures assisted in producing

the venom necessary for conception and child5birth, 222 scientists began to develope$tracts based on warm5blood nutrients. This very special nutrient was known as 25

M!. The li3uid acted as an *enhancer( of the ;ueen*s metabolism. It increased herenergy levels, gave her more stamina and actually added to her physical strength.(

Matu repeated the name...25M!...25M!...Holy cow6 &ould it actually be *soma*? It

sounds like it might be... and 2oma was known as the *1ood of the ods*6)er saw the look on Matu*s face but did not stop.

(Here is another important fact which you must know, Matu. In the language of the"rion people, the *2* sound...as a prefi$...was a *causative*. It literally meant, *it

causes*, it *makes happen* or it *makes go*. 2ince in this case, the *2* precedes theterm M!, the title of the ;ueen as the 7oyal Mother, 25M! literally means *makes go

5 the 7oyal Mother.((!s the 25M! li3uid was further refined and developed, other discoveries about its

e$traordinary properties were made. &ontinued use of the 25M! li3uid, for e$ample,increased the life5span of the ;ueen. Through the careful refining of various strains

of 25M!, it was discovered that the ;ueen*s life could be e$tended well into hundredsof thousands of years. It also became evident that 25M! kept the ;ueen*s bodily

functions youthful. It was the ;ueen*s *1ountain of outh* and the *&up of -ternal-nergy*.(



(To prevent the possibility of other females, including her daughters, from rising upfrom the ranks of obles of the -mpire to become challengers to the Throne and to

usurp her role as the */ltimate 1emale* of the realm, the ;ueen immediately bannedthe 25M! li3uid and any derivatives from the common market. /se of the li3uid was

restricted solely to the ;ueen %ower grade derivatives, far less powerful, weregranted to the ;ueen Mother and the 2even )rincess #aughters. !nyone other than

a 7oyal family member found possessing or using the drug were to be e$ecuted onsite...25M! was the nutrient for the #ivine "nes only6(/nder the 25M! program, the ;ueen further instructed her scientists to proceed

with any research and development that might uncover a way in which to e$tend the

life of the ;ueen and her family. In the later phases of the 25M! program, 222scientists developed and refined the re5animation sciences, a program that allowed

restoration of life to anyone who had died. !fter years of intense research, deathbecame little more than a disease that could be cured. By creating special chambers,

222 scientists found that they could re5animate the bodies of people who hadrecently died. The bodies, of course, could not be in a state of decay nor could they

have suffered irreparable trauma. !ssuming that there was insignificant damage,significantly important workers in the field could be re5animated if they were killed

by an accident or even murdered deliberately.(

(&an you imagine, Matu...( )er said with another of his devilish smiles. ('hat wouldthe people of "ther 'orlds think, particularly if they were primitive, if they saw abeing in long flowing robes descend from a bright silvery ob+ect in the skies? !nd

what if this being was able to pick up a fallen comrade who had +ust died...and thenbring him back to life? 'hat do you think, Matu...what would the average primitive

being think?((He would think he had seen an angel...( Matu had to say. (He would think that he

hac seen an angel with the #ivine power to bring a dead person back to %ife.((es...( )er agreed. (!nd he would see the re5animation as a sign that the *saved

person was *special* or *blessed*. He would not see an administrator saving a workerwhc provides a profit margin, he would see a *blessing* instead.

#amn6 thought Matu. Business, not benevolence6 "f course they would save a very

devoted worker, he brings in a profit6 #amn6(1or the ;ueen, Matu...( )er continued, (...re5animation significantly increased her

lifespan, a trait worthy of the (/ltimate #ivine "ne*. 2hould she suffer an accident oreven a deliberate plot on her life, she could be re5animated.(

Matu saw a flaw in the plan.(But it would be necessary to trust the individual at the controls, would it not,

Master? ( he asked. (-ven if there were several people necessary for the re5

animation process, would r still not be necessary to trust all those involved?((ou forget something, Matu...( )er said. (ou forget that the M!=H sciences have

given the ;ueen to program any of the people in her service. By re5programming theworker at the controls, and anyone involved in the process...the ;ueen could assure

that they would obey her every command. &ertainly it would demand that the ;ueenknow every detail of the process and that she would be the only one to hold the final

codes, but let us not forget the ruthlessness and efficiency of the ;ueens of !77!5!. It would not take a great stretch of the imagination to understand that the

;ueen would take every possible precaution to insure her safety in the re5animationchambers. I can assure you, Matu... 2he is very thorough.(

2he would have to be, he thought to himself (But in time, the success of the re5animation program brought an une$pected new

complication to the fore. 2cientists discovered that even with the advantages of the25M! li3uid nutrient, the continued re5animation of the ;ueen took its toll on her

body. To solve the problem of wear and tear, the 25M! program scientists researched



and developed the science of 7egeneration in an effort to produce body replacementparts for the ;ueen. By taking cellular material from the ;ueen herself, the 25M!

scientists were able to regenerate the entire body of the ;ueen, thus providing partsof her anatomy which could be used to replace in+ured or completely destroyed parts

of her body. In time, several regenerated bodies of the ;ueen were kept intact andvital for any emergency that might re3uire transplantation or replacement. 'ith the

success of this aspect of the development program, the ;ueen was once again giventhe power to e$tend her lifetime to even greater and almost unbelievable lengths.()er paused for a moment.

(Make these notes in your papers, Matu...( he instructed the youth. (If you recall,

the name of the ;ueen was always !!, or sometimes !77!. In her position as thesole embodiment of the 0oid, as the ;ueen of the -mpire, as the 2upreme

1emale...all of these titles point to the importance of her physical e$istence. Herbody, Matu, would therefore be the single most important body of the -mpire. It

would be known as the *2upreme Body*, or the *Body of the Highest*. &an you tell mewhat the title of her body might be?(

Matu was caught off5guard. He turned to his notes and found *highest*... or !. !body would be a *container( or BI. Therefore, Highest... !, body of...BI.

(!5BI, Master?( Matu guessed.

(That is correct...( )er answered. (!5BI is correct. The *Body of the Highest* of HerMa+esty ;ueen !! or the *Body of the Highest* of Her Ma+esty ;ueen !77!,Matu.wnat would that be?(

Body of the Highest...!5BI, of ;ueen !!...(It would be !!5!5BI or !77!5!5BI...( Matu wrote down.

(&orrect again, Matu...( )er smiled. (!77!55BI would be the official title of the bodyof the ;ueen on the throne. It is this title which was given to the 7egeneration

)rogram, it was officially known as the !775!5BI )rogram. It should come as of nosurprise to you, Matu... that the ancient -gyptian word for re+uvenation was 7-)I.(

Matu wrote the words down. 'hen he finished, he looked at his Master. ood od(he thought to himself. I know that these things are true, the evidence continues to

pile up...but who recorded all these things, he wondered? 'ho passed this

knowledge on to human beings he wondered? Before Matu could ask the 3uestion,)er began again.

(In one of the final phases of the 25M! program, the elite M!=H scientists, who werenow known as *enesis* scientists because of their ability to create and manipulate

%ife, were instructed to attempt to isolate and capture the *consciousness* of a being.It was hoped that if the *consciousness* could be captured, somehow it could be

transplanted into another body 7emember, Matu, these were the very scientists who

had been the developers of the mind5alteration sciences used so successfully in thepopulation control programs.(

(Though the task was monumental and seemed to offer little chance of success, overmillions of years and countless failures, the M!=H enesis scientists were successful.

Through tireless effort and sheer genius, a process was developed that allowedcomplete consciousness to be transplanted from one body to another. "ne

of the difficulties encountered, however, was that the initial consciousness of thereceiving body could not be completely eliminated without terminating the life of the

body. !s a result, after a *consciousness* transfer, the new body was fully aware oftwo distinctly different personalities in its mind.(

(To combat the potential confusion problems, the enesis scientists were forced toadd a secondary procedure to the transfer process. It was already known through

the M!=H mind5control programs that thoughts and memories could be easilyimplanted into the brain of the target being. !nd it was also known that some

memories could be eliminated in the *target* By merely enhancing the procedures, by



intensifying the mind5erasure and implantation techni3ues, the mind of the receivingbody in a *consciousness* transfer could be made totally receptive to a new

consciousness. !fter the procedure, the receiving body would believe that the newconsciousness had always been the original *consciousness* of the body. !nd what

about the original *consciousness*? It would be relegated to the body*s subconsciouswhere it would occasionally surface as a very vivid dream or an ine$plicable vision.(

'ow6 Matu marveled. ! whole new consciousness...In another body6 !ma4ing6('ith the success of the M!=H consciousness transfer program, the ;ueen of thestars of "rion had the power to transfer her entire consciousness into one of the

regenerated !77!5BI bodies. 2hould the worst conceivable circumstances occur,

should the body of the ;ueen be severely damaged, her consciousness could becompletely transferred. &ombined with the successes in the regeneration and re5

animation programs, the ;ueen was able to e$tend her life5span beyond any lengthsthat had ever been imagined. 'hen her sub+ects and the populations of the "ther

'orlds claimed that the ;ueen of the -mpire was possessed of *-verlasting%ife*...they were virtually correct. Because of the enesis 2ciences advances she had

come close to achieving immortality. 'hile generations of her sub+ects lived andpassed away, the ;ueen outlived them all. !nd by restricting the most elaborate

processes of *-$tended %ife* 2ciences to herself, the reptilian ;ueen insured that she

would live for millions of years and could remain the wisest, the most intelligent andthe most e$perienced being in her entire -mpire.(!ma4ing6 Matu said to himself...+ust ama4ing6 Then suddenly, he had a thought.

(But how could she trust the people who performed the transfer procedures or thecloning processes, Master?( he wondered.

('ell considered...( )er answered him. (!ny and every technician, scientist orindividual who might be connected with *-$tended %ife* )rograms were sub+ected to

the M!=H mind5aIteration programs. !ny and all thoughts which could be dangerousor threatening to the ;ueen were completely eliminated, thoughts of total and

complete loyalty and obedience were implanted. Through these safety precautions,the ;ueen could assure herself that the scientists and people in charge of any of the

operations or procedures of the *-$tended %ife )rograms would do e$actly as she

wanted. Believe me, Matu, the ;ueen made sure that she would not be betrayed atany level...and in order to do this, she made full use of the M!=H

programs...wherever and on whoever it was necessary to control. !nd you would besurprises at some of the people who were included in the M!=H programs.(

Matu was sure he wouldn*t be.(To preserve the lives of high5level workers and administrators who were invaluable

tc the on5going systems of the -mpire, the ;ueen commanded the use of simplified

versions of cloning and re5animation to be used on key personnel. 0ital commanders,administrators and assistants were included in the cloning and re5animation

programs, and if their e$periences and knowledge were important to theadministration of the -mpire, the *consciousness transfer system insured that their

*consciousness* would not be lost to the -mpire...and particularly...to the ;ueen. Toassist in keeping the 2225T5IMs strong, much weaker versions of 25M! li3uids were

granted to the various important members of the -mpire, with somewhat strongerfluids reserved for the sole use of the 7oyal 1amily. But the 2upreme 25M!. it was

strictly reserved for the ;ueen herself.((!nd...as a final measure of security for herself, Matu, the ;ueen sub+ected the

;ueen Mother ...and her #aughters... to the M!=H Mind control program. In thisway, the ;ueen felt that no one, not even her family, could ever have a single

thought of rebellion or challenge to her 7ule.(!s he finished, )er sat back again.



Matu could only stare at him. 'hat an e$traordinarily ruthless ruler the ;ueen of"rion was...yet in a strange way, Matu could understand the precautions. 'ere he in

the same place, he would probably do the same, he thought to himself. But still...a;ueen of an -mpire of thousands of stars...a civili4ation of reptilian5descended

beings in the stars of "rion... mind control, re5animation, cloning and the transfer ofconsciousness...what would the rest of the world say if it really knew that these

things e$isted...that we are not alone in the gala$y?They probably wouldn*t want to know, he answered himself.



Chapter IV

The Wolfen Kings ofAstAr

Matu had spent the previous day attempting to solve the &ircle again. It was an easytest yet after do4ens of attempts, he had still been unable to solve it. The circle was

twelve feet in diameter. Twenty feet away was a bright white round stone about thesi4e of a large orange. 'ithout leaving the circle, Matu had to retrieve the stone. To

aid him, Matu could only use what was in the circle. In the circle with him was a twofoot piece of rope, a shoe and a small flashlight. )er had introduced him to the circle

and had taken him into the circle many, many times to begin the test...and each andevery time, Matu had been unsuccessful.

!s he sat at his table, he thought about the circle. He drew little diagrams and hoped

that somehow he could see the solution using another perspective. His paper was fullof little arrows and lines and circles. 2omehow and in some way, Matu was

determined to solve the problem. He had been completely absorbed with hisdrawings when he suddenly noticed that the Master was standing at the window.

("h...( Matu blurted out. (I am sorry, Master )er. I did not see you come in.(

Matu shuffled the papers and took out new sheets.)er turned from the window, and as was his habit, he simply began talking.

(Billions of years after the birth of the reen 'orld and the evolution of the 222reptilian beings...( )er started, (...another race of beings evolved on another world

far, far away. "n this world, there were three suns in the sky...a red star, a whitestar, and a black star that could not be seen but that most certainly could be felt.(

! black star that could be felt? Matu was confused.(/nlike the 222 people who had evolved from a reptilian5insect ancestor, these

beings had been born of and evolved from a reptilian5wolfen ancestor. 1ollowingalmost the same path that had led to the evolution of the reptilian people, these

wolfen beings had also evolved from a primitive ancestor into humanoids that lifted

themselves up from their primitive and simple beginnings to a comple$ civili4ationcomplete with its own culture and identity. The path that has led to the evolution ofhumanoids has been repeated many times in many ways in our gala$y, Matu, and

while the ancestors who begin the +ourney are of different forms, often the paths arenearly identical in their content.(

(In many cases, the new life forms of a planet cannot survive the harsh conditions oftheir own world. 2ometimes, an errant asteroid or comet plunges down from the

sky and destroys the planet, perhaps an unstable and violent core literally tears theworld apart. In many ways, a new world sees a premature end. /sually, however, the



single most destructive force on these new worlds is the evolving life form that walkson the surface of the planet. In so many cases, the worlds that survive, and the

populations on it, endure because the beings who walk on its surface have learned tocontrol their own destructiveness and greed. The worst enemy of %ife...is %ife itself.(

("n the reen 'orld, humanoids had evolved from a reptilian5insect that hadlearned to fly and lift itself from the worlds of the stagnant ponds. "n the 'orld of

Three 2uns, another group of humanoids evolved from the water creatures whoemerged from the oceans and seas themselves. If you remember, Matu, in the reen'orld, the reptilian5insect ancestors of the 222 were originally sea creatures who

were tossed to the shore on ocear waves and deposited in stagnant ponds. "n the

'orld of Three 2uns, however, the tiny creatures of the oceans remained in the seaand evolved to become fish5like creatures. In order to live and survive the great

waters, these ocean creatures learned early in their evolution to prey on othercreatures. /nlike the reptilian5insect ancestors, these reptilian5amphibious creatures

had begun their +ourney to becoming land creatures by developing ther hunting andkilling skills long before they had reached the water*s edge. By the time they hac

begun to search for food on land, they had sharp teeth and e$traordinary strengthand agility Their fins had already begun to take on the look and function of strong

and e$tremely useful appendages.(

(!s the sea creatures e$plored the edges of the continents, the development of theirpowerful fin5like arms and legs readily adapted to crawling on land. In time, aftermillions of years of crawling, the now amphibious5reptilian creature learned to walk

and hunt on four legs Millions of years later, as the creature continued to adapt toland life, its moist amphibian skir gave way to a tough outer skin, and its ocean5

living traits were gone...gills and broad feet ar < hands used for paddling in waterwere replaced by lungs and large padded feet suited for walking on virtually any

terrain. 2till later, the steaming hot tropical climes began to take their toll on theseprimordial creatures. To survive, they adapted. !fter hundreds of thousands & years,

in place of toughened amphibian skin, they developed fur, and instead of laying eggsthe primitive mammals gave birth to live young. one were the distinctly reptilian5

amphibian features of their ancestors, permanently ac3uired were the physical

characteristics of the species known as warm5blooded creatures. The wolfen ancestorwas born.(

Matu made a face. )er saw him.(Is there something wrong, Matu?( he asked.

Matu fidgeted slightly.(I am wondering, -lder...( Matu began. (How is it that the evolutionary paths of the

beings of our gala$y are so similar. It is almost as if somewhere way back, even

before the first cells were born...it is almost as if there was a common source of %ife,as if one ancestor gave birth somehow to all of the creatures of our /niverse.(

("f our gala$y...( )er interrupted him.Matu glanced at him.

(es...( he agreed. ("f our gala$y...(Matu momentarily reflected on )er*s correction. 'hy did )er say *the gala$y* and

not the /niverse? Is there something about our gala$y... or the /niverse... he is nottelling?

(Is there...somehow...a common ancestor in our gala$y?( Matu continued. (Is therea single source of %ife in -ridanus, Master? &an that be?(

)er hesitated. !nd the hesitation was enough to convince Matu that there was, infact something that )er did not want to say.



(!s we proceed, Matu...( )er began, (...you shall find that the 0oid is the veryultimate source of %ife in our /niverse.(

!s soon as he finished, he began to talk on another sub+ect.Matu was sure now. There was something else. 2omething else, or someone else,

was somehow involved in the development of %ife in the gala$y.(The 'orld of Three 2uns was soon filled with four5footed creatures. 1urry walkers

and amphibious walkers, walkers with bony shells and walkers with smooth skin...thenew primitive world was now teeming with many different races of creatures. Butone species in particular, the reptilian5wolfen creatures, was the most menacing.(

(The early wolfen creatures had the appearance of both a large cat and a wolf. They

were powerful and built low to the ground. %arge muscular legs moved them 3uicklyacross the ground and allowed them to spring forward with astonishing speed and

height. They were e$tremely agile and strong, and they possessed long sharp clawsthat cut easily into the bodies of their victims. 'hile they often ate easily ac3uired

fruits and vegetation, they preferred a diet that consisted of freshly killed flesh.((The head of the primitive wolfen5beast was large and almost s3uare in appearance.

The beast had piercing, almost glowing eyes that constantly searched thesurrounding terrain for an unwary victim, and it had fangs that could sink through

almost any creature*s hide. Males and females both had manes, large coarse hair

that framed their faces like deadly portraits. They were covered with golden brownhair, though some wolfen races had dark brown to black hair. %ong powerful tails thatwould softly flicker at the end gave an air of deceptive calm to the wolf5beast as it

lay waiting for an unsuspecting prey.((!nd although the wolfen5beast looked more like a primitive lion than a wolf, the

primitive beast was most definitely canine in its make5up. Its roar was a combinationof a low gutteral growl and a throaty bark. The sound of their roaring was more like a

low deep rumble that preceded an earth3uake and was delivered with such intensitythat it could be heard many, many miles away.(

(1irmly established as carnivores who fed on flesh and savored the blood of theirvictims, the wolfen beasts eventually left behind most of their reptilian features and

continued to evolve along the lines much like our own mammals of this world

evolved, Matu. &o5e$isting with other creatures that were often larger than theywere, the wolfen beasts accomplished with brutal violence and cruel cunning what

their si4e could not provide. Hunting in packs and developing their skills at findingthe weakness of their victims, attacking with merciless viciousness, the 'olfen "nes

soon held their own in the primitive 'orld of Three 2uns.("f course, thought Matu to himself. It is ama4ing how the most violent creatures are

the ones who establish themselves on the planet, and then it is their descendants, if

they move into humanoid form, who con3uer the planet. But then, it was the sameway with the beings of our own world, he remembered. Humans were the most

violent and the most vicious. !s the 'olfen "nes did, we compensated with brutalcunning what we lacked in si4e. es...I am sure that it must be a rule of the gala$y<

he who is the most violent...wins.(!s with the evolution of the 222 beings, so too in the world of the *'olfen "nes*,

the path to humanoid e$istence took millions of years. %earning to walk upright,con3uering their environment and their fellow species, rising from wolfen dens to

caves and then to constructed shelters, all of the same steps, with a slight variation,were steps that the 'olfen humanoids had to take. But it happened, Matu. They

became humanoid.((!s is generally the case with most evolved humanoids of our gala$y, the primitive

'olfen humanoids passed through the many stages of evolution common tohumanoids. 1rom individual dens to primitive mud huts and shelters, and then to

constructed homes with temperature5controlled air, and finally to large sophisticated



cities with covered markets, the 'olfen beings con3uered their environment. Huntinggave way to butcher shops, scavenging gave way to markets, territories gave way to

nations, and primitive survival gave way to organi4ed con3uest. 1rom a life of purebasic survival instincts to a world complete with culture and art, science and

technology, lu$ury and comfort from primitive growls and howls to a comple$language and developed writing from leaders of the pack to 'olfen =ings...the

'olfen people rose from a primitive e$istence to a sophisticated e$istence.(2ophisticated? Matu thought. 7ight...big deal6("ver the millions of years of the evolution on their planet, many races of the 'olfen

evolved, Matu. 2ometimes races of 'olfen beings died through natural causes and

planetary changes, sometimes because of disease and famine, but unfortunately, asit has happened on nearly every world in the gala$y of -7I#!/2, over the millions

of years of their evolution, the many 'olfen races went to war...and it was war thatdestroyed many of the primitive 'olfen civili4ations. 1angs and claws gave way to

knives and swords, spears and clubs gave way to guns and airships, skillful huntinggave way to the !rt of 'ar...and )rimitive 'olfen man gave way to &on3uering

'olfen man. -ventually one race of 'olfen warriors would rise to become the singledominant race. Born of vicious con3uering =ings, the 7ulers of this new world were

called the 777.(

The 777, Matu wrote down. 2trange name for a strange people...hey, wait a minute6('hat did the 'olfen people look like, Master?( he asked.)er turned to him and smiled.

(I am remiss, Matu...( )er said. (My apologies. The 'olfen humanoids were astrange looking people who had the features of a dog...and the features of a cat.(

#og and cat features? Matu was confused.()rimitive 'olfen humanoid males had broad chests and with little or no waists, large

and powerful buttocks with strong thighs and thick calves. )rimitive 'olfen femaleshad large chests and a very slight feminine curve to their bodies. They had large hips

and muscular legs. !nd although they had lost most of their thick and coarse bodyhair, they still retained a fine dark hair all over their torsos. Their arms were large

and muscular, their wrists were thick, and their hands broad and rounded. /nlike the

long fingers of the 7eptilian Beings of "rion the 'olfen "nes had shorter and fatterfingers. Their necks were also thick and 3uite short.(

'hew6 Matu said to himself. They sound like the 2umo wrestlers of the "rient.(The large broad heads of their primitive primate ancestors had become slightly

more rounded, but their s3uare lower +aws still gave them a very imposingappearance. They hac broad noses with piercing hunter*s eyes, a large forehead, and

small ears. !nd perhaps the most dominating feature of all...hair. %ots of hair. The

manes of their ancestors had given them coarse beards on the faces of the malesand long sideburns with chin whiskers on the females. !s 'olfen women braided

their hair, so too 'olfen men braided their beards. Their hair and beards ranged incolor from a golden brown to dark shades of auburn brown to a deep +et black. "ne

race even had thick and long manes of deep red hair. 'hen take5together, all ofthese features served to give the 'olfen people the distinct semblance cr humanoid

%ions.('ow6 Matu could see them in his mind. %ion5people6 %ion5people who had canine

ancestors6 !ma4ing6(The physical features of their bodies also gave a lion5like appearance to early

primitive 'olfen humanoids. Both male and female, had feet that were large andbroad, and although their tails were gone, a few small bones that remained left a

tell5tale bump at the end of ther backbone. They had large hands, large powerfulhands that seemed to swallow whatever they held and sharp pointed nails, vestiges

of the claws of their ancestors.(



(-arly 'olfen humanoid beings were handsome and fearsome, beautiful and deadly...and...they were violently aggressive. "ftentimes the act of courtship and mating

between males and females ended up in what might appear to anyone who waswatching as an e$tremely violent physical battle. 'olfen females, much like their

ancestors, relished a hungry and powerful male. "ftentimes, the female herselfwould challenge a courting male to a battle. If he was unable to defeat her, he wasunworthy. &onsummation of a passion was often violent. 7elationships were based

on sheer power, a dominant male could possess as many females as he could keep

under control. 1emales were sometimes stolen by other males, but if the first malecould not steal her back, she remained 3uite happy with her new lover...as long as

he was the dominant one in their relationship. -ncouraged by these female traits, theworld of the 'olfen people remained 3uite violent...and very male5oriented.(

I wonder if -arth women would like it there, Matu thought to himself.(It has long been said that if a 'olfen being does anything, he...or she...does it with

a ferocity that is seldom seen in our gala$y. #uring the course of their evolution, itseemed as if the 'olfen "nes did not need to learn about violence or fierceness,

3uite the contrary, it seemed as if intense violence coursed through their veins

instead of blood. If was as if they had been born from the heart of an angryprimordial 'ar od. Instead of a heartbeat, they were possessed of a drumbeat...adrumbeat of 'ar. But because of this innate ability to be violent and fierce, the

'olfen "nes accomplished in a shorter time what many civili4ations had takenmillions of years to develop. "n the 'orld of Three 2uns, con3uest of natural

enemies and competing species came easily to the 'olfen "nes.(()erhaps the most significant evidence of their barbarity was borne out again and

again on the battlefield. #escending on their victims with the wrath of *dogs fromhell*, the 'olfen 'arriors did not defeat their enemies, they destroyed their enemies.

!fter the battle was over, while still standing in the blood soaked fields, the 'olfen'arriors ripped open their enemies tunics, e$posing the flesh to the sky...and then

promptly, and savagely... began to devour the flesh6 The bodies of enemy soldiers

who had fallen in battle provided the sustenance and the nourishment for hungry'olfen 'arriors. In short...the 'olfen 'arriors ate their enemies.(

'hat?6 Matu was totally shocked. They ate them?6 Matu had not e$pected this.)er saw the sudden sickened look on Matu*s face.

(But the enemies who died in battle were the fortunate ones, Matu. Those who hadfallen from wounds were the unfortunate ones...they were devoured alive6 Teams of

'olfen butchers moved in after a battle to dress and prepare the bodies of the fallen

enemy soldiers. 'hile the flesh was the basic source of food for the soldiers and keptin storage, some organs were carefully removed and sent back to the homelands to

become delicacies in special meals and ceremonies. 1or 'olfen soldiers, war waswaged not +ust for glory and con3uest, or even for right and wrong...it was also a

source of food. This added incentive...hunger...turned the tide of many battles in thefield in favor of the 'olfen "nes.(

ood %ord6 Matu shook his head. It is not as if the reptilian warriors were enough...now we have to deal with the *'olfen "nes*6? #amn...what chance have we got?

(Many frightening stories are told in the history of the 'orld of the Three 2uns,Matu. But none paint a more gruesome picture than those which describe the

battlefield after a victory by the 'olfen 'arriors. &an you imagine the horror of thesight? 2moke and mist mi$ing together in the twilight to create an eerie and surreal

scene. runting and growls came from everywhere, the sounds of a wolf packtearing at the flesh and devouring the meat. 2ometimes, the growling eating sounds

are punctuated by the screams and cries of their victims. In the dim light +ust before



darkness, large bodies that look like hairy lions are bent over, feeding on the innardsof fallen soldiers. Their manes and bodies are covered in blood, they tear at the flesh

with their teeth and raise their heads time and again to howl at their victory...thosewho have survived the onslaught of 'olfen 'arriors never forget the horror of what

they have seen. It is one thing to see your comrade fall in battle beside you...but tosee him being eaten and devoured with such fren4y...that was something that

brought nightmares to even the strongest and bravest soldier.(Matu shuddered. He could see the smoky silhouettes and the dripping blood. He eversaw the fangs tearing at the flesh and could hear the howls...he had to shake his

head to stop the pictures in his head.

(The barbarity of the 'olfen 'arriors and their cruel ferocity 3uickly gave birth to=ings and =ingdoms on the 'orld of Three 2uns, Matu. 2eldom in the history of the

gala$y had a race of humanoids e$hibited such violence. !nd while the home life ofthe reptilian beings of "rion had revolved around the female, in the world of the

'olfen "nes, the male was the un3uestioned master of the home...and the worldaround them. The male ancestors of the 'olfen "nes had often devoured their off5

spring, and though evolution had shown merit to maintaining the life of progeny, itwas not uncommon for the males to turn to their young ones as a source of food in

difficult times. !nd lest you think that the females protested, Matu...be assured that

the females were often willing participants in the gruesome feeding.(#amn6 was all Matu could think of. #amn6(The victories of the 'olfen 'arriors were horrific in their carnage, efficient in the

disposal of the victims. "n the 'orld of Three 2tars, it did not take long for them torise to domination over the many species of the planet. Their con3uests were

decisive and complete their =ings ruthless and efficient. )opulations who sufferedtheir invasions and were defeatec 3uickly yielded to their rule. Those who resisted or

refused to obey 3uickly found themselves prime sources of nutrition for the 'olfen"nes.(

"bey or become buffet, Matu thought to himself.(Because of a deep throaty growl that permeated their speech, a hold5over from

their canine ancestors, the 'olfen "nes became known to their victims and

throughout the 'orld of Three 2uns as the 777. #riven by a force seldom witnessed,they had managed to develop a civili4ation at a faster pace than most races of star

beings in our gala$y. It seems as if the best way in which one can sum up the reasonfor almost everything the 777 beings did was actually one word< hunger. Hunger for

power, hunger for wealth, hunger for food, hunger for se$, hunger for virtuallyeverything. It is more than greed, Matu, it is more than desire, it is more than

selfishness, and it is more than righteousness, it is an instinct...hunger is, pure anc

simple, a gut level instinct.(ot good, Matu thought as he wrote. ot good. 'ealth and power are lu$uries that

are the result of desire, and desire can be diverted or sublimated. Hunger, however,is a form of passionate instinct. ! 'arrior who wants to kill his enemy so that he can

eat him is a far more dangerous and deadly 'arrior than one who simply followsorders.

)er continued, (!s had happened on the world of the 222 reptilian people, the 'orldof the Three 2uns was soon dominated by the 'olfen "nes, in particular, one race

that came to be known as the *olden Maned "nes*. These &on3ueror =ingseventually created a *"ne 'orld* -mpire, with trillions of beings forcibly united under

the 777 banner.((!nd it should come as of no surprise to you, Matu, that the research and

development of the sciences and technologies of 'olfen civili4ation were all orientedtowards con3uest anc militarism.(

(o, Master...( Matu answered. (It is only logical that that should be the case.(



(In the world of the 777 'olfen people, political debate was virtually non5e$istent-verything and everyone served only one purpose< to further the military might of

the -mpire and the 'olfen =ings. -ven the first steps into outer space were designednot for e$ploration, but for e$ploitation. -arly astronauts that departed the home

world of the 'olfen people were not sure that other beings e$isted on the otherworlds of their solar system, but their ships were always designed for self5defense

and con3uest.((The healing technologies were all designed with the intent and priority of healingand providing speedy recovery for 'olfen 'arriors communications technologies

were designed and developed for the specific purpose of providing dependable and

encrypted messages between 'arrior forces in the field transportation vehicles weredeveloped specifically with the intent of providing 3uick and reliable movement in the

battlefield and food preparation and nutrition sciences were all based on the needsof the 'arrior on the field. Honors in academia and science were always presented

for achievements in the fields of military and con3uest sciences. -ntertainment wasalways oriented towards militaristic themes, as were the games provided for the

young 'olfen children. -verything, Matu...everything revolved around war.((!thletic events and competitions generally resulted in the death of the losers, while

legal cases of contract violations were tried in 'olfen courts only if one of the

complainants was not killed. )olice shot speeders and traffic violators on site whileprison populations were nearly non5e$istent. enerally, those who were locked upwere simply in transition to their e$ecutions. In short, Matu, in the world of the

'olfen beings, either an individual obeyed the law...or he was e$ecuted.((But the use of violence was not restricted solely to enforcement of controls on the

general populace. 'hile ruthlessness and cold5blooded cunning were generallyrewarded with advancement in the ranks, oftentimes upper level positions needed to

be filled because of the sudden and une$pected death of the individual holding thatposition. In other instances, some high level officials maintained their position

because any potential challenger to his position also met with an une$pected death.It is a curious thing, Matu, that this very violent way of life assures that only the

most cunning and deadly individuals end up in the highest positions.(

(!nd the throne of the 'olfen =ings itself was not spared. Monarchs generally roseto the throne through murder and assassination. "ften, it was the son or a relative of

the sitting =ing who moved to sei4e the throne. To avoid such difficulties, it wascommon practice for the =ing to send his sons and heirs to far5distant worlds where

difficult conditions often resulted in their deaths. 2ons who found favor with their=ing father were permitted to remain in the 7oyal )alace where they were

systematically placed at odds with their sibling brothers. By pitting them against one

another, the =ing was assured that only the most worthy heir would be allowed toclaim the throne after the =ing passed away. -ven contests that resulted in death

were permitted. It would take an iron hand, a cunning mind, and a ruthless spirit.2entimentality was for the weak, power demanded a cold5blooded, almost heartless,

inner spirit. In a perverse manner, =ings were often seen smiling as their son dealtthem the final fatal blow in his assassination coup. 2uch was the way of the 777

'arrior =ings.(('hile we may 3uestion the use of violence to enforce its e$istence, a society that

will e$terminate deviance becomes 3uite one5minded and unified...whether it bevoluntary or not. It is not wise to condemn the 777 beings off5handedly. Matu. 1or

their accomplishments often diminish the achievements of other star peoples whohave agoni4ed over the morality of their actions. 7uthlessness breeds efficiency,

violence eliminates hesitation...and the weak.(



I guess so, Matu agreed. If I lived in a world that does not permit hesitation or anyform of challenge, most assuredly I would be ruthless and violent...if I wanted to

survive. Matu was about to ask a 3uestion when Master )er answered it.(If a violent world is all you know...then one does not 3uestion the use of violence. It

is as natural to the 'olfen people as it is for human beings on -arth to stoop to helpan in+ured bird or a whimpering puppy. 0iolence is a way of %ife, Matu, and as

dreadful as it might seem, it is a very strong motivating force.()er stood up and walked over to the window again.

(The e$ploration of space was seen in a different way by the 'olfen people. !s I saidbefore, when they looked to the stars, they dreamed not of walking on strange new

worlds and meeting strange new beings, but rather, they imagined themselves rulingas =ings of new lands and territories, of new populations and new forms of treasure.

"ther bodies in the sky were not to be reached for, they were to be sei4ed.((It is important to remember, Matu, that every aspect of %ife in the 'olfen world,

from daily work to home life, from the marketplace to the -mpire, from personal lifeto public life ...everything was oriented towards con3uest, e$pansion, and obedience

to the Throne.(

)er stopped and ga4ed at the sky. Matu always wondered what thoughts wererunning through his Master*s mind at that time. 'hat faraway thoughts was heentertaining, he had wondered. Is he thinking he cannot tell me something because

it might be too frightening...or is he thinking what he might tell me ne$t. 2omeday, Ihope I am at a window, Matu thought to himself, wondering what I shall tell my

apprentice ne$t.(It is here, Matu...( he began again, (...that I wish to tell you of the most ingenious

invention of the 'olfen people. It is both a wondrous starship...and a terrifyingdeathship. It was the principal vehicle in the conducting of the 'olfen 'ars and the

pivotal weapon in most of the con3uests of the 777 -mpire. It is a starship that wasknown simply as...the !7.(

The !7...Matu wrote it down. ! sure derivation of the name 777, I bet.

(Many civili4ations of star beings developed and created starships, many ofe$ceptional si4e and maneuverability. Most starships were huge round globes, the

shape most efficient in the wide open spaces between stars and worlds. &onstructedand fabricated of super5metals, these shiny and silvery ships were generally the

vehicle most civili4ations would develop when they learned to travel the stars. Buthere, Matu, here is yet another testimonial to the brilliance and cunning of the

'olfen "nes.(

('here most star races would develop and produce their starships from the super5metals of their worlds, the 777 produced their starships in a most uni3ue way. In the

course of reaching for the stars, the 'olfen scientists began to develop methods tomine and e$ploit the natural resources of asteroids and meteorites of their solar

system. Because of the highly unstable three sun system, fragments of primordialworlds as well as newly destroyed planets were abundantly available. By burrowing

into the core of the asteroids, instead of attempting to mine the surface, scientistswere able to remove valuable and precious minerals in a far more productive and

cost5efficient manner. 'hat they had not anticipated, however, was that the miningprocess that hollowed out an asteroid would result in a shell that would become an

e$traordinarily deadly warship.((It was e$tremely simple and ama4ingly clever. By taking the remaining rock shell,

often miles thick, and adding appropriate venting and e$haust ports, then byinstalling powerful star drives and death5dealing weaponry, the forces of the 777

'olfen =ings found themselves in the possession of a warship that was easily and



ine$pensively produced...and...it was easily hidden from the enemy. 'hile other starraces created enormous starships that were laden with e$traordinary offensive and

defensive war weapons, the large silvery globes were easily detected. The hollowed5out asteroid warships of the 'olfen =ings, however, could easily enter an alien solar

system undetected. By hiding in the midst of other orbiting asteroids or simply byhurtling through the star lanes while emitting the *appropriate* gases, the !7 ships

could move 3uietly into targeted solar systems. !t the appropriate moment,thousands of asteroid warships began their devastating attack. It should come as nosurprise that most worlds and their military forces were simply caught off guard by

the 'olfen warships. !nd this, Matu, this was the brilliance of the techni3ues of war

of the 777 'arriors. The methods were simple but effective. 2tealth was thegreatest tactic of the 'olfen 'arriors. !nd the asteroid warship, christened the !7

by the 'olfen =ings, became the power behind the space fleet of the 777 -mpire.(Holy cow6 Matu was stunned...again. !n asteroid that has been hollowed out6 That is

positively brilliant6 How easy it would be to hide6 Brilliant6 Cust brilliant6(The victories of the 'olfen 'arriors were 3uick and decisive. Through the vicious

and cruel tactics of the soldiers on the battlefield to the stealth maneuvers of the !7warships, the invasions by the 'olfen 2tar 1orces were lightning sudden and

devastatingly overwhelming. 'ith these techni3ues, the e$pansion of the 'olfen

realm was limited only by the number of 'olfen commanders available to lead the-mpire*s invading armies. /nlike the reptilians who re5programmed the con3ueredpopulations, the 'olfen "nes simply devoured any resistance ...3uite literally.(

(The incorporation of sub+ugated armies into the invasion forces of the 'olfen-mpire was difficult. "ftentimes military coups were attempted, almost all of them

failed. !rmies who remained with the 'olfen 1orces often did so out of fear...butgiven a chance, they would abandon the battlefield, running for the skies in

desperate search of escape. 1or this reason, and others, any and all invasions had tobe led by 'olfen &ommanders. This, in and of itself, was the only factor that

prevented the wider e$pansion of the 777 7ealms.((et they were successful, Matu, that cannot be denied. The con3uests of the 'olfen

=ings had been e$ceptional in their e$panse, no one seemed to be able to stop them.

/ntil however, their con3uering ways had taken them a little too close to the realmsof the older and infinitely more powerful -mpire of the 7eptilian ;ueens.(

(7unning from the &entral 2tars of -ridanus to the outer edges of the gala$y is avery important interstellar *trail* that connects star to star, world to world. It is a

7unning through the heart of the 222 7eptilian -mpire, the inth )assagewayprovided vital links to the Inner 'orlds and the "uter 'orlds. Travelers, whether on

business or political missions, were constantly on the inth )assageway. &ommercialvehicles, carrying precious ores and valuable treasures made their way on the )-2H

M-T-. It was, without any 3uestion, vital to the security and welfare of the reptilian;ueen*s -mpire.(

(To the misfortune of the 'olfen =ings, their con3uests had taken them to the veryedges of the inth )assageway. The ;ueen had not been totally unaware of their

movement, but she had not moved to stop them...as yet. 'hen they movedperilously closer to the heart of the )assageway, the reptilian ;ueen could take no

chances. 2he immediately sent a dispatch to the 'olfen =ing< *&ease and desist your



wars and movement upon the inth )assageway. ield or be totally destroyed6* 2uchwere the words of the ;ueen.(

'hoa... Matu thought... here we go6(The =ings had, of course, heard of the 7eptilian -mpire and had had minimal

contact with them, but they had not considered that their war campaigns had takenthem within a range that might be perceived as a threat by the 222 ;ueens.(

(The ;ueen of the 222 -mpire had also heard of the 'olfen =ings. 2he had foundtheir con3uering ways reluctantly admirable, if not +ust a bit barbaric. )erhaps, ifthey had e$tended their -mpire in a different direction, she would not have

interfered with them. But they had not. They had entered her 7ealm...and she would

tolerate no interference with her -mpire. 2he was also aware of their potentiallydeadly and unpredictable behavior. Barbaric beings of this sort possessed a

primitive mentality that could hardly remain consistent anc logical. It was also likelythat these beings may not have the wisdom to know when to cease their attacks.

'hile this was a desirable trait for warriors, it was a trait not to be welcomed ir one*senemies.(

(!nd at this point, Matu, we shall see the wisdom and e$traordinary abilities of the;ueen of the 7eptilian Beings. In the communi3ue sent to the 'olfen =ings, the

;ueen issued a threat of devastating retaliation if the borders of her -mpire were

violated. But in an une$pected move, the ;ueen submitted an offer that was seldome$tended to any potential enemy...the ;ueen offered an !lliance between the two-mpires. !nd it was an offer that the 'olfen =ings could hardly re+ect.(

"h, great6 Matu made a face. Two of the most terrifying forces in the gala$y...insteadof fighting it out until one loses, decide to +oin forces. reat6 Cust great6

(If the 'olfen =ings would agree to align themselves with the 222 -mpire, the;ueen would grant them significant territories and trade routes, and she would

officially sanction their continued e$pansion, as long as it remained distant and apartfrom the reptilian -mpire, and in particular, away from the inth )assageway. The

'olfen =ings would receive an immediate payment in precious metals and resourcesas a *fee* for their acceptance of the proposed terms. The 'olfen =ings would have

the authority to use the name of the ;ueen in any political negotiations, and if it

became necessary, the forces of the 222 ;ueen would support their every move inthe stars. !ll enemies of the 'olfen 777 =ings became enemies of the 7eptilian 222

;ueen and her -mpire. !nd finally, should the 'olfen =ings accept the alliance, the;ueen would elevate the 'arrior armies of the 'olfen =ings to the official status of

-nforcers of the -mpire, a rank higher than any of the armies of any "ther 'orlds,second only to the -lite 1orces of the ;ueen herself. 'olfen &ommanders would

assume control of many of the key military forces of the reptilian ;ueen*s armies and

would have available to them the many resources and most advanced warshipsdeveloped by the 222 'ar 2ciences and Technologies. In short, the 'olfen =ings

would have the power of the Throne of the 7eptilian -mpire behind them and at theirdisposal. This, Matu, was an e$traordinary offer.(

It sure is, Matu agreed in cautious silence. It sure is.(But...(

'hoops6 here it comes, Matu thought. Better grab your seats, 'olf =ings6(...in e$change for these e$tremely significant concessions, the 222 ;ueen

demanded unhesitating loyalty and total obedience to her Throne. The 'olfen =ingswould e$ecute her every command, un3uestioningly, unhesitatingly and with all of

the force and fury that they could muster. The 'olfen =ings would immediately turnover half of the wealth of the entire 'olfen -mpire to the ;ueen, and would continue

to send her half of any future gains. The ;ueen would immediately become the2upreme Being and the /ltimate )ower of the 'olfen -mpire. !ll official ceremonies

and royal events would begin by addressing her power and by paying homage to her



status as the 2upreme Being. 1rom the moment the !lliance was agreed upon, the=ing would relin3uish his status as the most important individual in the -mpire and

would become known as the representative of the ;ueen. 1rom the moment the!lliance was signed, no 'olfen =ing would ever hold on to the throne without a

)rincess #aughter of the ;ueen herself sitting by his side...and no 'olfen =ing couldever make any decision without the approval of the new ;ueen, the )rincess

#aughter herself.(#amn6 Matu thought to himself. That surrenders a great deal of power. (!nd shegave them one other e$tremely important benefit...( "ne other benefit? Matu

wondered. 'hat the heck could that be? (...she allowed them to remain alive.( ep6

Matu reali4ed...e$cellent benefit.

(The ;ueen was 3uite shrewd, Matu, she was an e$cellent military tactician. !ftersending her dispatch to the 'olfen =ings with its orders to cease hostilities...and her

offer of an !lliance between the two thrones, the ;ueen allowed only a very shortperiod of time for the 777 Monarchs to consider her message. It is, of course,

standard practice to attempt to stall the actions of any enemy who approaches andthreatens retaliation. This has been done by numerous -mpires in the stars and has

been a tactic used here on -arth. !s the final moments approached, the 'olfen

=ings sent message that they needed more time to consider the ;ueen*s offer. !t theprecise moment the time limit had been reached...the 2225T!= forces descended onthree invading armies of the 'olfen =ings. In moments they were totally and

completely obliterated...not +ust destroyed, Matu...obliterated. -ven the !7 starshipshad been totally wiped out. !s a matter of precaution, in fact, every asteroid in the

vicinity of the three invasion armies were also destroyed. To further establish herposition, the ;ueen made use of the incredible pin point accurate death rays of the

M!=H 'arriors. Half a do4en of the =ing*s personal staff were immediatelyterminated, their brains burned from the inside by light beams that came from

seemingly out of nowhere. 2everal of the communications networks were alsosuddenly sei4ed by carefully placed spies in the =ing*s military administration. The

3uick and stunning display of the ;ueen*s power was most effective. ee46 Matu

shook his head. I guess so.(There was little debate, Matu. The 'olfen =ings knew that the ;ueen had the power

to completely obliterate their armies...and their -mpire. The offer e$tended was onethat simply could not be refused. 'hile it seemed that they would surrender much,

without 3uestion it was also clear that they would also gain tremendous power...andthey could live. There was no choice but to agree.(

!nd perhaps someday the ;ueen would slip and the 'olfen =ings might step in to

take over the reins...yes, I*m sure they thought of that, Matu smiled.(!s part of the agreement, the ;ueen promised never to reveal how easily the =ings

had been personally attacked. This would preserve their image as near invincible=ings with their sub+ects. The official story released in the 'olfen -mpire portrayed

the stunning skill and insight displayed by the 'olfen =ings in their negotiations withthe ;ueen. Based on their e$traordinary bravery and courage, their fearsome

abilities in war, the ;ueen of the 7eptilian people had proposed an !lliance ratherthan go to war with them. !nd though the 7eptilian -mpire was larger and possessed

greater #eath weaponry and ships, it was the cunning of the =ings that allowed themto secure such a high position in the -mpire of the ;ueen. !nd though the position of

Chapter V

E!e of God

Matu*s nightmares were vivid. Huge scaly green #ragons towered over him, their

claws were ready to rip him apart. ellow venom fell as the #ragons drooled overhim. They were staring at him with fiery red eyes, piercing his brain...filling his head

with visions that he was sure the #ragons wanted him to see. Images flashedthrough his mind...he was a good boy, he was a patriotic citi4en, he was

obedient...he was soulless. He could feel his spirit being drained from him... it wasmore than frightening. 1or the first time in his life, he felt the need to run away. !s

he turned, in his dream, to run from the #ragons, he was suddenly confronted bydogs as large as he was. They had yellow eyes and their fangs were bared. They

looked at him with a hunger in their eyes, and looked up and down at his body. "neof them licked his lips. Matu did not know which one had lunged at him, all he knew

was that his leg was missing...a bright red stump was dripping blood. 2omething

pierced the back of his head. His mind was being stirred, his body was being rippedapart.

He woke up with a start. His heart was pounding and he was sweating. He stood up

and began to get dressed. The sun was not up but he needed to go for a walk. 'henhe had finished, he ran down the stairs and opened the door to the House. !s he

stepped outside, he looked up at the stars. They were beautiful, he thought tohimself. Then he cursed them.

He began running down the trail towards the forest, but before he reached it, hestopped. The trees were dark... very dark. !nd they seemed to have taken a form.

Matu was ama4ed. He was actually somewhat scared. #amn it6 he whispered tohimself. I am letting the stories of the Master get to me. He smiled to himself. I am

being like a child. How silly of me.Then he looked up at the stars again.

They are not *stories*, he reminded himself. #amn it6 'ith that thought, he turnedand began walking down to the water*s edge. !s he reached the white sands, he

stared out at the waters. 'hat creature is out there now, he wondered. !re we

human beings but a single step that %ife has taken on our planet? !re we the finalcon3uering race, or are we temporary kings and 3ueens of the *middle ages* of ourworld*s ultimate history?

He turned and began walking on the sand.Back at the House, )er watched silently from the upper window of the library.

Matu wasn*t tired when he returned to the House. Thinking that he might read abook he made his way to the %ibrary. 'hen Matu entered the room, the candles were



already lit He looked around and didn*t see anyone. !s he sat down at his table, )erturned from the window and began talking again.

('ith the signing of the !lliance, the -mpire of the 'olfen =ings was essentiallyabsorbed into the -mpire of the 7eptilian ;ueen...( he started.

Matu nearly +umped out of his skin. Cee4, he said to himself. 'here did he comefrom?

(But unlike other -mpires that disappeared when they became part of the 222-mpire the -mpire of the 'olfen =ings was immediately catapulted to the enviableposition of the -nforcers of the 7eptilian -mpire. !nd it is in this conte$t, as the

second most powerful beings in the 7eptilian -mpire, that we shall e$amine the titles

and the institutions of the 'orlds of the 'olfen =ings.(Matu was still grabbing for blank paper.

)er waited for a moment.(!s the 'olfen astronauts began to make their way through outer space, they

3uickly learned that the physical laws that applied on their home worlds did not applyto the vast spaces between the planets of their solar system. !s they began to

make their way beyonc the worlds of their solar system, they found that the laws ofphysics changed once again Interstellar travel opens up many secrets of the

/niverse, Matu...one cannot con3uer trave through the *heavenly waters* without

becoming aware of the influence of the reat 0oid.((It is not clear, Matu, e$actly how the 'olfen people came to call the reat 0oid, the/!H, the sound of the e$haled breath, perhaps they learned the name from one of

the many worlds that they con3uered, or perhaps they learned of the name fromtheir monitoring of the many transmissions of "ther 'orlds. In some way, the 'olfen

beings ac3uired the concept and name of the /!H. &onsidering themselves to bedirect descendants of the reat 0oid they called themselves the /!H5777, or as

some people knew them, the /!H7.(/!H5777...Matu wrote down. )er pronounced the name...then it struck him...'!76

it sounds the same as the word '!76 !nd they are the =ings of /!H7, the fierce andvicious 'arriors of '!76 This is the root for the word *'!7*...I +ust know it, Matu

thought to himself.

(The throne of the 'olfen -mpire, the !2T, was officially known as the !2T5777 orthe !2T5!7. !nd the home worlds and stars were known as the -mpire of !2T5!7.(

Matu wrote the names down as 3uickly as he could.(!nd here, Matu, is a most curious title which I think you will en+oy. &an you tell me

Matu was e$cited.(Is there more, Master )er?( Matu asked.

)er smiled at him.(es, Matu...( he answered. (There is more...much more. But let us not lose sight ofthe point which we are making at this moment. ! 'olfen person, be it soldier or

worker, is one of the *-nforcers of the Throne*, that is why they were taken into the

7eptilian -mpire. It is because of their fierceness and violent natures that the ;ueenmade this most incredible offer to their =ings. 7emember that, Matu, ferocity and

violence was the spirit that gave birth to the /!H5!77!5777.(Matu was sure that he would never forget.

(!nd it was the ;ueen*s intent to keep that ferocity and violent nature intact underthe newly formed !lliance. By offering the 'olfen =ings her complete support and

her vast #eath and 'ar hardware, she had hoped that they would be inspired toreach for previously unimagined heights of con3uest and power. By offering them

status and wealth, and the potential for even greater position and treasure, she had

sought to reward their violent ways in a manner that e$ceeded even their ownwildest dreams. 2he gave them the means, the opportunity, and the reward forremaining true to their inner spirit...by proclaiming herself as the 2upreme Being,

she had simply placed herself in the saddle and at the reins of this moste$traordinary *Beast of 'ar*.(

'hoa6 Matu smiled. reat image6(!nd do not forget, Matu. The very in5bred nature of the 777 'olfen people made

them obey the system and the Throne, regardless of who sat in it. 1or the people ofthe 777 -mpire, the only thing that had changed was the figure on the seat of

power, in the e$ecution of their duties and day to day life, everything remained thesame.(

(But would not the 'olfen people...( Matu wondered, (...who are very male5oriented,

would they not refuse to accept a female oriented world, Master?((es...( )er was pleasantly surprised at Matu*s 3uestion. (They would. They would be

3uick and passionate in their re+ection of such a world. But that is why the ;ueenchanged nothing in the day5to5day worlds of the 'olfen people. 'hat she did was to

simply introduce the *2piritual* side of e$istence to the very physically oriented'olfen "nes.(

The *2piritual* side? Matu was confused.

(#o you mean *religion*, Master...?( he asked.()recisely, Matu...( )er confirmed. (ou see, the lives of the 'olfen people had been

focused almost completely on the physical aspect of their e$istence. !ny concept of a*spritual* e$istence that they had was little more than an acknowledgment of their

*warrior* spirit...there was nothing attached to it. 'hat the ;ueen did, however, wasto emphasi4e to them that their violent nature was nearly identical to the very

violent nature of the cosmos itself. 'hile one may choose not to see it as such, thechanges that occur on a planet, the changes that take place in the stars, and the

invisible storms that rage through the spaces in the gala$y...these events are 3uiteviolent and destructive by their very essence. The ;ueen simply e$plained to the

'olfen "nes that they were an e$tension of the *spirit* of the gala$y ...they were*"ne* with the basic violent spirit of the /niverse. !nd... since she was the

embodiment of the 0oid...the manifestation of the /niverse, they, the 'olfen people,were simply an e$tension of the ;ueen herself.(



'ow6 Thought Matu to himself. Brilliant...simply brilliant.

(To take advantage of the 'olfen people*s natural tendency towards violence and tohelp sway them in her favor, the ;ueen filled the &eremony of the !lliance with

grand displays of violent weaponry. 7eptilian warships streaked overhead with lightand sound weapons firing their enormous cannons reptilian warriors pointed and

fired their light weapons at empty vehicles, melting them into puddles of moltensteel and yet other warriors leveled buildings with their sound emitting rifles. Thecapabilities of the death technologies of the ;ueen were vividly and dramatically

impressed on the minds of the 'olfen people. In short, they were very impressed.(

)er paused.(&an you imagine, Matu...( he started, (...how the 'olfen people must have felt

when they saw this astonishing display of power...and were told simultaneously thatthey were an e$tension of the ;ueen...and that power? It was absolutely

overwhelming.(Matu nodded his head. !bsolutely, he agreed...absolutely.

(In order to further the new *religion* centered on the ;ueen, immediately after thesigning of the !lliance, the ;ueen continued to fill every moment in the lives of the

'olfen people with personal communication images of the death5dealing powers of

the ;ueen.('hat was that? Matu wondered.(-$cuse me, Master...( Matu interrupted, (I am sorry, but can you tell me what

*personal communication images* are, please?((&ertainly, Matu...( he answered. (These are images that are beamed directly at the

part of the mind that receives electronic impulses. !t any given moment, atransmission from the ;ueen sent through special broadcast towers will be perceived

in the minds of all those beings who receive signals at a specific fre3uency. Byvarying the fre3uency of transmissions, in time, everyone will see the images sent

into their brains.((#o you mean that I would see images in my head, Master?( Matu was intrigued.

(es, Matu...( )er answered him. (/nless you learn to block out those fre3uencies,

you would receive mental pictures that were sent out by the ;ueen*s towers.(('hether I wanted to or not, Master...?( Matu asked.

(o, Matu...you would not see the images if you had learned how to close downthose receivers in your mind. But most of the images sent to the 'olfen people got

through, however. !nd in virtually every image, the ;ueen was depicted as aninfinite force of power, and thus, an ultimate source of violence. The words

accompanying the images were clear< the ;ueen was the True and /ltimate physical

embodiment of the violent side of the reat 0oid. &ontinual displays of violent andhorrific destruction were constantly transmitted to the minds of the 'olfen people.

Images of small planets that were being vapori4ed, large worlds that were beingrocked with internal e$plosions, volcanoes, earth3uakes and even the manipulation

of weather...all of these pictures were continually sent as a concerted effort toconvey the incredible powers of the ;ueen. The 'olfen people were overwhelmed

with the image after image of the ;ueen*s power. It did not take long, it was clear toeveryone...the ;ueen was truly the physical embodiment of the reat 0oid. !ll Hail

the ;ueen, Mother of Heaven and the reat #estroyer of the /niverse.((But the )rincess #aughter of the 7eptilian ;ueen, the new ;ueen of the 'olfen

stars and the personal manifestation of the ;ueen herself, conveyed to her newsub+ects that there was more that her mother, the ;ueen of Heaven, could add to

the lives of the 'olfen people. es, there was a naturally violent part of the/niverse...that was true...but there was also a creative side, a compassionate side,

and the ;ueen of Heaven was the "ne and "nly True embodiment of that aspect of



the /niverse as well. The ;ueen of Heaven, Mother of !ll Things was themanifestation and embodiment of &reation and #estruction, of all aspects of the

reat 0oid. 2he was the "ne, the only true physical incarnation of the 0oid itself.(2he was the oddess, Matu thought to himself.

(The new 'olfen ;ueen was 3uite elo3uent in the praise of her Mother and of hernew sub+ects< *The 'olfen people are the physical embodiment of the reat 0oid*,

she told them, *the living 'arriors of the 0oid. The ;ueen of Heaven, my Mother andyours, is the spiritual embodiment of the reat 0oid and the complete manifestationof the reat 0oid. !nd because of this, she was the 2upreme Being of the /niverse.(

Matu was impressed. That*s 3uite a religion that the new ;ueen was creating. The

legend of the ;ueen as the 2upreme Being was brilliantly presented.(1or the people of the 'olfen -mpire, the ;ueen was the /ltimate Being...and they

were ready to obey her every command. 2uch was the way of the 'olfen"nes...fierce and violent dedication to their superiors.(

('as this the beginning of the religion of the oddess...?( Matu asked.)er nodded his head.

(es, Matu...for the 'olfen "nes, this was the beginning of the 'ay of the oddess.(Matu guessed that.

(The words which I would like to share with you now are titles and names that were

applied to the 'olfen people in the language of the stars of "rion. In some cases, wehave the original words of the 'olfen people, but after the !lliance, it was the "riontitles that were used and carried forward the significance of the rank or status of the

He was smiling.(The =H!5/2 were the most vicious race of the 'olfen people, Matu. They were the

the 'orld of the Three suns, they were also referred to as the *olden Maned "nes*.They were known as the light5skinned /!H5777. 'hile it does not make a great bitof difference now, it will be something that you will need to know later.(

Matu wrote it down. The Master never said things without cause, it must beimportant.

(#o you recall the name of the Throne of the 777 people, Matu?( )er asked.(!2T5!7...( Matu answered right away. That was easy, he said to himself.

(That is correct. But time and pronunciation differences also resulted in the thronebeing called !2!7. 7emember that, Matu. The 'olfen -mpire, and the star worlds in

its realm, were known as the 2tars of !2!7.((&an you tell me what the loyal sub+ects to the Throne would be called, Matu?(

Matu was pu44led for a moment. "bviously, this was an important answer.(It would be called =H!5/2, Master...( he answered, making a face.

(&an you tell me the significance of that name, Matu...?( )er asked him.

The =H!5/2 2tar? Matu wondered. The 2tar of =H!5/2...the =H!5/2 star...thestar of =H!5/2...? Then it hit him. The =H!5/2 star6 The &!I- star6 The *#og*

of himself...and of his Master. He would never doubt his place in the "rder again.This was to be the work of his life from that moment on. ow, he was sure. 1or his

daughter, for himself... for the world...this was to be his life and his passion.)er noticed the sudden look of seriousness on Matu*s face.



(In the lives of every one here, Matu...there is one moment in which we came to the

reali4ation that we could no longer leave the "rder...( he said. Then he smiled.('elcome, brother...( It was as simple as that.

(/pon the signing of the !lliance, Matu...( )er began again. (The 'olfen 'arriorswere assigned to the T!=H forces of the ;ueen, the combined forces of all of the

worlds of the 222 -mpire. But they were not to become low5ranking soldiers, Matu...no, they assumed the roles of leadership. ou see, the ;ueen had tremendousadmiration for the fierce and violent nature of the 'olfen 'arriors. Their tactics were

brilliant in their simplicity, and their focus was unshakable, their courage was

unparalleled, and their relentless hunger was also unmatched ...in the mind of the;ueen, they were very close to what the pure 'arrior had to be. If there was anyone

who embodied what the ;ueen wanted in a 'arrior, it was the 'olfen 'arriors.((It was a very important move for the ;ueen, Matu. !s leaders and commanders of

her combined forces of the -mpire, the 'olfen 'arriors soon inspired their troops toa higher level of efficiency and deadliness...and a renewed spirit and morale. It did

not take long for the 'olfen 'arriors to personify e$actly what the ;ueen wantedthe spirit of the T!=H 'arriors to be...they were, in the eyes of the ;ueen, the pure

'arrior...they were the pure T!=H.(

(In time, the 'olfen 'arriors were known simply as the T!=H. 'hen "ther 'orldsspoke of the T!=H forces, it was the image of the 'olfen 'arrior that was capturedin the mind of the people. 1erocity and violence became the trademark of the T!=H

on the battle5field, ruthlessness and total obedience was the way of the T!=H in thehandling of the affairs and the administration of the worlds of the ;ueen.(

(!nd Matu...( )er nodded to him. (The ;ueen was very, very happy.(I*ll bet, he thought. I*ll bet she*s happy.

(/pon the +oining of the 'arrior forces of the 7eptilian and 'olfen -mpires, the !7deathship of the 777 was brought alongside the giant deathship of the ;ueen. ow,

if you will recall, the sound *5tt* came to be interpreted as *death from a reptilianfemale*. 2ince each of the warships of the ;ueen was a form of *death from a

reptilian female*, each one of them came to be known as an !T. The flagship of the

;ueen, the largest and the most deadly of her warships, was known, of course, asthe !T5!T or the T5!T.(

(&an you tell me, Matu, what the title of the ;ueen*s flagship would be if it wasknown as the *Highest "ne of the #eath from the ;ueen*?(

commonly used term was !T5-.(

(&orrect...( )er said. (ow, Matu...in the upper 3uadrant of the enormous globe wasan enormous dark concave depression that housed the huge light cannon, the main

weapon of the ;ueen*s !T-. By rotating the gigantic cannon towards its target, the!T5- was capable of instantly vapori4ing cities, regions, starships, aircraft and even

small planets with its intense beam. The *%ight* also had the ability to generate ra4or5sharp cutting rays that could slice through any ship and penetrating pin5point beams

that could isolate a single individual on a distant world as its target for elimination.1rom a distance, the gleaming globe looked like an enormous eye5ball, with a dark

iris and a black pupil. !s it rotated its enormous hull to targe< its victims, the !T5-

(!lso note, Matu...( )er continued, seemingly without breath, (...that the term =H5Iwas a title of all of the warships in the armada of the 222 -mpire. -ach one was a

*death5dealer*, each one was a =H5I.(Matu kept writing.

(7emember, Matu...( )er cautioned him. (These titles we have derived are titles of

the ;ueen*s !T5-, the enormous fabricated #eathstar of the -mpire. 'hat may beconfusing in your future work is that the !7 'arship, the hollowed out asteroid ship

of the 'olfen =ings, was oftentimes referred to by the same titles applied to the !T5-. Though these titles are technically incorrect, you will often find them used to

describe the !7.("h, great6 'rong names for the !7...reat6 'ell, he thought to himself, at least the

Master has forewarned me.

(It is a compliment to the abilities of the pilots of the 'olfen !7 that some confusionhas arisen between the !T5- #eathstar and the 'olfen #eathstar. )ilots trained to

operate the !7 #eathstar had learned that the asteroid warship did not handle 3uitelike a fabricated starship. !s a result, the 'olfen pilots had developed not only new

techni3ues of interstellar navigation, but they had also learned to develop a uni3ue*inner sense* that the 7eptilian star5pilots in sleekly constructed craft had not been

able to develop and ac3uire. 'here 7eptilian star pilots were trained forinstantaneous response to instruments that monitored the space around them,

'olfen pilots had been forced to learn to operate their ship as if they were anasteroid in space, thus forcing them to predict where the flow of interstellar *waters*

would take them. This re3uired an immediate adaptation to the physics of the spacethat they were in, no small skill in outer space. "ftentimes, the pilots utili4ed the

natural dynamics of the new space by gliding on electromagnetic waves or solarwinds. Because the !7 pilots were essentially flying an asteroid, the most direct



route to a target was often a path that took the !7 ship in a very circuitous coursethat followed the interstellar flow between stars and worlds.(

(But as time5consuming and demanding as this type of flying might have been, itwas precisely this flying techni3ue that proved to be so deadly to their enemies.

2olar systers were seldom suspicious of an in5coming swarm of asteroids, and if theywere, they simply could not monitor every meteor shower that entered their system.

The success of the 'olfe* campaigns of con3uest were based on this very simplepremise< every asteroid was a potential warship...a warship that no one suspected.(('olfen pilots had become Masters at flying the currents of the *heavenly waters

between the stars and the solar systems, using the natural flow of space to attack its

enemies. 7eptilian pilots had become Masters of full frontal attack, breaking throughthe defense fields and electro5magnetic nets with such force that they could take

direct lines towards the enemy. Technology was the strength of the 7eptilian pilots,techni3ue was the strength of the 'olfen pilots...when the two types of pilots were

+oined together in the armadas of the T!= forces of the ;ueen of the 7eptilian-mpire, no star system was safe.(

I*ll bet, Matu said to himself. I dread thinking how Humankind can ever deal withthese two star races. I see little chance of doing battle...in fact, I see little chance at

all.

("h...( )er suddenly added. (!lso keep in mind, Matu, that the !T5-...and the !7.were both considered to be an e$tension of the ;ueen and her power. In fact, somepeople perceived the !T5- and the !7 to be the embodiment of the ;ueen herself.

It is often the case that some ancient star people actually e3uated the !T5-, the!7, and the ;ueen of Heaven. This too, Matu, should remain in the forefront of your

knowledge about the history of the stars of our gala$y...and the beings of the starsof "rion and 2irius.(

Matu was scribbling his notes 3uickly, reaching for more paper as he did.(ow, let us continue to look at some of the names given to this most astounding

ship the mighty !T5- of the ;ueen...(My od, does he not get tired? The )er is relentless, Matu marveled. How does he

know all of these things? How does he keep these things in his head? Matu stopped

to stare at the -lder for a moment as he continued to talk. 'ho are you, he wantedto know? 'here did you come from? 7eally...

(Besides being the basis for the legend of the *-ye of the !ll5)owerful "ne in Heaventhe !T5-, and the !7, gave birth to other stories which were told around the fire or

while sitting at the hearth of the homes on the "ther 'orlds. Many stories describedthe most horrible *Beast of the Heavenly 'aters*. ! monster with one horrible eye

that could see everything and could spit fire. This was, of course a reference to the

deadly !T5-. "ther stories told how the *Beast of the 'aters* traveled the *rivers ofheaven*, and was capable of destroying ships and swallowing up their human pilots.

"bviously, since this *beast* traveled the *rivers of heaven*, this was a reference tothe reat !7.(

(2ince the *Beast* was *of the 'aters* or the *rivers of heaven*, many stories aboutthe horrible demon described it as a horrible *2ea Monster* or a *#emon 2ea

&reature*. "ftentimes fantastic elaborations were added to the descriptions, legendswere embellished and often added details that stretched the imaginations of the

listener. But in each case, the *#emon* 2ea &reature* or the *2ea Monster* referred tothe !T5- or the !7. 'ith horrible powers of destruction and the ability to devour

men...(The 'olfen 'arriors on the !76 Matu guessed.

(...this was, of course, a reference to the deadliness of the !T5- and the !7, andtheir ability to traverse the *waters of space*. =eep these ideas in mind, Matu, it will

become very important later on.(



Matu made sure to make that note 3uite findable.

(%et us now turn our attention to specifically the !T5-...( )er said.(The !T5- of the ;ueen, the 7oyal 1lagship of the 222 2tarship !rmada was the

si4e of a small planet. !ctually, there are several types of !T5-s, Matu, and theyvary in si4e, but for our conversation, we shall address the largest of the globular#eath 2tars...the !T5- 2hip of the ;ueen.(

(The completely fabricated globe is built to be completely self5sufficient. It uses two

primary types of drives, the *push5pull* drive, and the *fold* drive. The two differenttypes of drives are necessary to travel through the two types of space in our gala$y.

There is *7eal* space and */niversal* space. In *7eal* space, there are numerousheavenly bodies, suns, planets, asteroids and comets, all 3uite physical, all 3uite

*real*. In */niversal* space, there is no physical e$istence, there is no matter...it is the*Breath of the reat 0oid* as yet unchanged or degraded to the world of physical

things. To travel through *7eal 2pace*, the most common drive was the *push5pull*engine. To travel through */niversal 2pace*, the *fold* drive was developed.(

(In the *push5pull* drive, the ship actually uses two methods to move through *7eal*

space. In one, the ship propels itself through the *waters of space* by pushing itselfagainst the *stuff* of space. !ncient oarsmen of long ago, for e$ample, used oars topush against the water in the river to propel the ship forward. In later times, hot

gases were emitted out of the back of the ship, sometimes called *thrusters*,propelling the ship forward or upward. %ater drives would use light particles and

electrical particles to propel themselves forward.((In the second method, a point in space, the e$act same si4e as the ship, is pulled

towards the craft with a device that generates electro5gravitational force. "nce thepoint has been pulled around the ship, the electro5magnetic drive is turned off. 'hen

space and time snap back to their original form, the point...with the ship inside it...isnow at the point*s original space and time. 'hile the occupants of the ship would feel

nothing, the space around the ship would seem to be flying by. "bservers from a

distance would see a sort of stretching of space that suddenly snaps back in a blurwith the ship inside. This is the *pull* method but is severely limited to distances that

have no obstructions.(*)ush5pull*, huh? 2ounds almost too simple, Matu thought to himself.

(To understand */niversal 2pace*, Matu...( )er leaned back. ('e must return to thefirst moment in time...the Breath of the /!H. 2ome scientists have called this the

*Big Bang*, the moment a tiny point e$ploded and gave birth to the /niverse. 'e

shall not debate the actual event right now, Matu. %et us +ust agree that there was amoment in which the /niverse came out of the 0oid. ow, imagine that from this one

tiny point, strands of matter came out, streaming into the 0oid as if they werestrands of spaghetti.(

2paghetti? Matu was amused but it was easy to imagine strands of spaghetti flyingout from a point of origin.

(Those strands of spaghetti are where we live, Matu. These strands are what we callthe physical /niverse...it is where matter resides. Between the strands there is

nothing...it is the 0oid that has not been filled with the *-ssence of Matter*. owimagine one of those long strands of matter twisting and turning through the 0oid.

&oils and loops, in and out, this is our /niverse...or at least what we think is our/niverse. If we are at one end of this twisting and turning strand and a bright star is

at the other end, light travels to us through the strand...it does not travel throughthe space without *-ssence*. %ight can only travel through this strand. !nd even



though the light follows the looping, twisting and turning strand, we believe it hastaken a direct...and straight...path towards us.(

!ma4ing6 Matu could picture the strand and the star*s light traveling through it,twisting and looping through the strand, yet we would think it was a straight line.

Incredible6

(ow imagine the strand of the physical /niversal bending back on itself, almosttouching but still apart at the ends. The light coming from the star at one end flowsout alone the strand, loops back and finally strikes our eyes. 'e see the path as a

straight line, but the light rays have completely turned.(

(But now, Matu, it is important that you understand this. The star and earth arealmost touching, yet if we follow the strand we may very well be light years away

from each other "ur /niverse consists of many strands of matter. It is much like aspider web of strands that go in many different directions, touching in some places,

apart in others. To use the *1old #rive*, one simply folds one strand of the physical/niverse over so that it touches another part. Travel is almost instantaneous.(

Incredible6 Matu thought. Cust incredible6(The !T5- of the ;ueen had both capabilities. !lso inside the ship were all of the

most sophisticated and most recent weaponry developed by the M!=H scientists.

%ight beams that cut and melt, sound waves that bend, lift and obliterate, heat thatcan free4e its target, electro5magnetic waves that re5structure the shape of anob+ect, electro5gravitational waves that pull planets out of their orbit and the latest in

mind5control technologies...any and every instrument and weapon that had beenrecently developed was found on the !T5-.(

(In the center of the enormous #eath 2tar was an artificial sun. "n the inside surfaceof the globe, layers and layers thick, was an artificial rock and soil crust. &arefully

maintained lakes and rivers, even small mountainsides and hills were designed onthe artificial ground 2tabili4ing atmospheric conditioners maintained a consistent

temperature and climate. #omed cities with towering structures for business, militaryhead3uarters and private home life were incorporated into the design of the globe.

Travel to and from domed city to domed city was accomplished through airships that

navigated the internal !T5- skies. In short, Matu, within the !T5- was a carefullydesigned and constantly monitored miniature world.(

'hoa6 Matu was stunned. ! whole little world inside a ship6 !ma4ing6('hen inhabitants of the *Inner 'orld*, as they referred to it, looked towards the

center of the !T5- globe, towards the artificial sun, they were actually looking...*up*.'hen they looked towards their feet, *down*, they were actually looking away from

the artificial core towards the outer hull of the ship. Though the world was inverted,

Matu, it was a near perfect paradise for its inhabitants. In fact, generations of peoplewere born and raised in the *Inner 'orld*. 2ome inhabitants had known no other life,

and wanted nothing else.(es, but never getting out? Matu made a face. Is it possible that these people would

never want to get outside.)er saw Matu*s face.

()erhaps if I told you more about the *Inner 'orld*, you would understand why thesepeople might not want to leave, Matu...( )er offered.

Matu nodded. )erhaps, he thought. Better be good.(In the *Inner 'orld*...( )er began again. (The environment was completely clean.

The air was safe to breathe without pollutants. The ships that traveled through theinternal skies were powered by electro5magnetic fields that were carefully designed

never to touch or come close to inhabited areas. The artificial sun emitted no harmfulradiation nor did it ever become too hot. There were no solar storms nor deadly solar

wind. 7ainfall was carefully plotted and could be turned on and off with split second



precision. There was no fog or windstorms or snowstorms. !rtificial bodies of waterwere stocked with appropriate forms of underwater %ife rivers flowed over clean rock

beds and small mountain peaks were peppered with real generated snow.Inhabitants of the *Inner 'orld* could en+oy an artificial outdoors that was safe from

predators and chaotic and unpredictable weather conditions. It was never too cold

nor was it too hot. #ay and night periods were carefully regulated, with a spectacularlight show that accompanied every transition.((The artificial ground was mi$ed in such a way as to be contaminate free and super5

absorbent in case of pollution spills of any sort. It was also fertile and fully capable of

supporting individual gardens and full5fledged farming operations. 0egetables andfruit grown on specifically designated farm units were also free of contaminates and

dangerous insecticides. "nly beneficial primitive %ife forms were permitted in the*Inner 'orld*. There were no pests or life forms that could spread disease and

infections. There were absolutely no scavengers that could endanger the safety andhealth of the inhabitants. -very e$posed surface area could sustain %ife... it was, in

short, a arden 'orld.((&arefully designed and constructed domed cities were safe. -very movement was

totally monitored so that the inhabitants were completely unafraid of any criminal

activity. There were no prison colonies, no holding centers or detention centers.Travel was done through the airships or tube shuttles that linked every point in thecity to every other point, so there was no traffic congestion, pollution or accidents.

There were fully e3uipped Medical &enters with the latest medical e3uipment,including 7e5animation and 7e5generation chambers. There were centrally located

entertainment centers that provided the latest holographic appearances by musiciansand artists, lecturers and speakers...even the 7oyal 1amily of the ;ueen herself.(

(-very inhabitant had specific duties but were permitted generous amounts of timefor personal development and growth. Mates were carefully screened, and biological

reproduction was programmed only when necessary. !ny pleasure was permitted solong as it did not interfere with the running of the ship. 2timulation centers were

available to everyone but were seldom used because everyone was inherently happy.

%ife spans were e$traordinarily long because of the healthy and stress5free lives ledby the inhabitants. )roper nutrition and eating habits were the norm, e$ercise

regimens were part of every day life.((Inhabitants were safe, long5lived, healthy, intelligent, and happy. -very one of their

needs was filled and every desire was satisfied. %ife was idyllic. !nd when you live ina totally controlled environment, there is little to be said for living on the surface of a

totally unpredictable and unstable planet, with e3ually unpredictable and unstable

Hmmph6 and probably 3uite boring Matu thought to himself.)er saw the look on Matu*s face.

(o, Matu...( )er shook his head. (I can see a look of displeasure on your face, andyou are mistaken. %ife in the !T5- was a near perfect e$istence for its inhabitants.

In fact, the re3uests for residency on the 2tarship were often turned down. To live onthe !T5-, an individual had to pass entrance e$aminations and 3ualifying health

checks. -ntrance re3uirements were stringent. The only other way to win residencywas to be born on the ship. In time, each !T5- 2tarship had its own identifiable

the 2tarship that they lived on.((&iti4enship was a matter of great honor...and often considered to be the measure of

the man. If an inhabitant of the !T5- committed a crime or broke any of the rules,



the penalty was severe... transgression meant immediate surrender of citi4enship onthe !T5-. This, in and of itself, Matu...the potential loss of )aradise...was sufficiently

frightening to most inhabitants to insure that no difficulties would ever occur. Thegreatest punishment any of the inhabitants of the !T5- could suffer was

banishment. %oss of the arden 'orld meant a fate worse than death.(

Matu sat bold upright...again6 "h, my od6 The loss of the arden of !T5-6 "h myod ...can it be? &an it actually be?



Chapter V

The Garden ofEden

(Master6( Matu nearly shouted at him.

)er was smiling.(Master6( the young man was very animated. (Is it possible that the arden of -den

was actually the *arden 'orld of the !T5-*? I mean, you described it as a paradise,and certainly, if everything is as you described it...(

Matu suddenly stopped. He had made an error.(I am sorry, Master...( he apologi4ed. (I am certain it is as you described it. I am +ust

e$cited about the possibility that the *arden of -den* and the *arden of the !T5-*might be one and the same.(

(#o not apologi4e, Matu...( )er shook his head. (Be not afraid to challenge any of ourteachings. ou must not blindly accept my words...so do not hesitate to 3uestion any

of what I say to you. !ccept nothing, 3uestion everything, challenge everyone. It isimportant that you do so. If the words are true, they stand on their own and need

not the reputation of the person who utters them for their veracity.(Matu was relieved.

(ow...( )er said. (In regards to the possible link between the *arden of -den* and

the *arden 'orld of the !T5-*. %et us proceed together, Matu, and see if we canprovide evidence for...or against...the argument that the two might be the sameplace.(

Matu pulled out several sheets of paper. He didn*t want to miss a single word on this

one6 It was too good ...and too important.(In ancient languages, Matu...( )er began. (The sound of the letter T and the letter

*#* were interchangeable. Thus, !T5- could have been written !#5-.(

I knew it6 Matu smiled.(!nd of course, !#5- and -#- are apparent cognates. !ssuming that the *arden

'orld of the !T5-* is as I have described...()er looked at Matu and smiled.

Matu smiled back.(...then what do we know of the arden of -den?( )er asked. (To find out, we must

turn to the book which first introduces the arden of -den to Humankind...the Bible.()er reached for the large copy on the desk and began to thumb through it.

(!nn...( )er e$claimed, (...here it is.(Handing the Bible to Matu, he asked, ('ould you be so kind as to read the passages

about the arden of -den please, Matu?(

Matu took the book and began to look at the passages. 2omeone had already

market6 the pertinent passages. Matu began to read<

Matu finished and put the book down.(%et us note, Matu...( )er began, (...that the very first line in the Holy Bible tells us

that the *arden* is "T -den itself. It is not. 'hat this passage tells us is that the*arden* is *...I -den*. It would actually be more accurate to call the )aradise that

said.(&orrect, Matu...( )er smiled. (But let us for now say that this is 3uite a remarkable

coincidence, Matu...(

Matu marveled at )er*s caution.(If we look to the ancient languages of 2umer and !kkad, we will find that the word

*edin* means *a plain*, or *a steppe*, with the implication that they are 3uite fertile. Inessence they carry the essence of *fertile flat lands*.(

(The *arden 'orld* of the !T5- was a fertile place, was it not, Master?( Matu asked(es, Matu...( )er answered him. (It was...but we must still have further

confirmation before we can convincingly say that the !T5- and -#- are one and

the same. ow, if we look to the Hebrew origins of the word *eden*, we find that theprimary root is the word *adan which actually means *to live voluptuously*.(

(-$actly6( Matu smiled again. (It is another way of saying that they lived fruitful livesthat they lived in a paradise world like that which was in the !T5-6(

(2peaking of *paradise*, Matu...( )er continued. (If we look at the ancient Greeklanguage, we shall find that the word *paradise*, the word ascribed to the arden of

-den actually means... 'an enlo!%re'." (!nother *coincidence*6( Matu smiled even more.

(ow, Matu...( )er continued. ('hat would you say if I told you that the Hebrewword for tree was pronounced 'ate!' ?(

"Ate!:" ; atu wondered. 2uddenly it hit him.



(!T5/2, Master6( Matu grinned broadly. (In the language of the stars, the term !T5/2would mean *one who is of the !T*6 The *trees* of the arden are the *sub+ects of the

Then his eyes popped open.(!T5IM6( he repeated. (!T5IM6 !T5IM would also be !#5IM...which is the same as

!#!M6 ood %ord6 The name !#!M means *high5ranking individuals of the !T6Higher than the !T5/26 !nd !#!M was the *high5ranking* individual of the arden of

ood od6 Matu was e$cited and stunned by his discovery. !#!M was an inhabitantof an enormous starship6 ood od6 How will I ever be able to tell anyone?6

(es, Matu...( )er said. (But the term *5IM*, which means *those who are at the side

more e$citement6 (It works, Master. It works6 It must be true6()er kept going, (...!nd consider this, Matu...yet another 3uote, but this one from the

book of -4ekiel in the Bible. &hapter [email protected] L...in this 3uote, the )atriarch -4ekielis describing !dam in the arden of -den, it reads< *I have made him fair by the

multitude of his branches< !o that all the tree! o #den, that were n the arden oGod, en*ed h'."

Matu was a little confused.('hat this verse is saying, Matu...( )er e$plained, (...is that the 'ate!' trees of the

arden were envious of the 'adaa' men...the !T5/2 of the arden were envious of

the !T5IM. The lower ranking inhabitants of the !T- were +ealous of the status thatthe !T5IM held on the !T starship.(

(!nother one6( Matu let out. (!nother *coincidence*6 Master...it is true6 This is +ustanother confirmation that -#- and the !T5- are one and the same6(

(The argument is being made, Matu...( )er smiled, (...but let us not become toocomfortable with our position. %et us continue. 7emember the 3uote wherein od

says that he made *!#!M fair by the multitude of his branches*?(

(es...( Matu nodded.(%et us carefully look at that phrase...*!dam is made *fair* by all of the *branches* that

he has...( )er continued. (The Hebrew word for *fair* is 'dal+ah'. Thus, in Hebrew,this phrase would actually read *!dam is made fair by all of the 'dal+ah' that he

has*.(Matu wrote the word down. d...a...l...i...y...a...h...

(ow to understand the hidden meaning, we must look at the root for the word*daliyah*. 2imply, the root is actually 'dalah'. The term 'dal+ah' is actually the

combination of two words, 'dalah' and '+ah'. But '+ah' s a term that you shouldrecogni4e, Matu...(

Matu immediately saw the name of the ;ueen, !H or !!, at the end of the word.(!H6( he said right away. (It is the name of the ;ueen... !!...it is a word that has

to refer to the ;ueen6 The word 'dalah' followed by !H must mean something likethe 'dalah' of ;ueen !!*6(



(-$actly...( )er smiled. (The phrase *!dam is made fair* actually reads *!dam is made'dalah' o A<A="

Matu was still not clear what that meant.(To understand the real meaning, Matu, we must reconstruct the word 'dalah' in the

manner of ancient languages, of which Hebrew certainly 3ualifies. To begin with,remember that the sounds T and *#* were often interchanged in ancient languages.

Thus, the word 'dalah' could actually be written 'talah'." Matu wrote the word down. t...a...l...a...h...(But ancient languages also interchanged the sounds *%* and *7*. Thus, our word

'dalah', which is now 'talah', could also be written 'tarah' or 'terah'. &an you tell me,

Matu using your new knowledge of linguistic parts, what the word 'terah' couldmean, Matu?

T-7...!H? T-7...!H? T-7.../H? Matu was looking at the word carefully. Then it hithim. */H* is like the suffi$*5/*. T-7...!H is +ust like T-75/H6 !nd T-75/ is another

form of (Master, 'terah' must be 'T#R->1' or *of the !T-7*6( Matu guessed. (It must mean

mean Those who are of the !T-7* or, in other words, Those who are of the !T-*6The phrase *!dam is made 'terah' b+ his ate!', actually means *!T5IM is made *one of

the !T-7 by his !T5/2*.(

Matu was momentarily confused.(!T5IM is made one of the !T-7 by the !T5/2...( )er repeated. (!T5IM is accepted bythe sub+ects of the !T into their fold.(

'ow6 Matu thought to himself. !dam is made a part of the arden 'orld, he isaccepted by the beings of the arden...but not without some +ealousy. Cust like some

of the angels were not happy with the creation of !dam in some of the old stories.But nevertheless !dam becomes part of the arden.

)er smiled that smile of his.(#id you know, Matu...( he said, (...that the term 'dalah' also means *to deliver( or

*to let down*?((7ight6( Matu smiled. (!s in *to deliver* something in the !T- or to *let it down* from

the !T-6 It all fits, Master6(

)er smiled at him.(There is yet one more aspect to this most remarkable root word 'dalah', Matu...( he

continued to smile. (It is also the foundation of the word 'b'daleh'...a word which hasbeen translated as *bdellium* in the Bible.(

Matu was pu44led again.(7ead 0erse @K again, Matu...( )er said.

Matu picked up the Bible.

(0erse @K...( he began, (...And the od o that land ! ood0 there I! bdell% andthe on+4 !tone."

Matu nearly +umped.(Bdellium6( he said loudly. (Bdellium was in -den6 The word 'dalah' means *of the

!T-7*...and 'b'dalah' means *bdellium*. Bdellium also means *of the !T-7*, Master6 Itmakes our point again6 -#- is the !T-6(

(es, Matu...( )er nodded. (The term 'b'dalah' means *of the !T-7*. Bdellium is anelement basic to the mighty !T-. The argument becomes even stronger.(

Matu was still e$cited.()erhaps you will also en+oy these ne$t few words as much, Matu...( )er said. (I will

wait for you to get another sheet of paper. I think you will want to record them.(Matu eagerly reached for another sheet. )er was ama4ing, he thought to himself.



(The discovery that the arden of -den might 3uite possibly be an enormous globe,an enormous 2tarship, will be very difficult for many people to believe. They will, of

course, say that such technology simply could not e$ist millions of years ago.(Boy6 that*s for sure, Matu agreed.

(But let us see if any ancient languages...from Humankind*s own past...present uswith any evidence that the mighty !T5- which I have spoken of, did indeed e$ist...(

Matu was sure that they would...and he would write every word down.(In the ancient !kkadian language, the term 'hatan%' means *to fly* and *to protect*.(Bingo6 H!T!/ and !T- sound alike and essentially mean the same thing, Matu

smiled to himself. 2core one for the !T-*s e$istence6
