stood impassively and watched the two men, but apparently had no intention of interfering at all. - Jervond was quicker - he drew his plasma blaster and fired at the now former admiral.

And then he was speechless. Thin streams of ethereal light enveloped him, and he saw himself at the beginning of his journey - as if they had arrived on Charon yesterday. Everything was happening very fast. And then everything sank into darkness.

Some time passed. When he came to, Jervond opened his eyes. GH306 was dead. But not by his hand, but by his own.

The bright creatures watched them impassively. One suddenly whispered:

- And now where will you go, Jervond? You have made your choice. You were adamant and fought for your cause-to save your people, or rather yourself. But such selfishness the universe cannot tolerate. Earth no longer wants you.

Jervond forced himself to speak. But it wasn't working for him. After he blinked, the Light creatures were gone.

EARTH'S NEW HOME

CHAPTER SEVENTY-THREE: EARTH'S NEW HOME

 

The Earth Federation was able to get the full details of what had happened in person from the mouth of Jervond Om San. He had been given the opportunity to use the GH306's speeders and the Bonks themselves.

On a sunny morning, his speeder descended upon the Earth's surface. Coincidentally, Gervond landed right at Ensanor Military Base. The base leadership allowed him in due to the fact that he was piloting Bonks' speeder, and the other speeder was following him, controlled by a sophisticated reangan translation system.

Veoria had prepared a large-scale mobilization of its forces and had called on the other two main camps, Kenaran, which covered Eurasia, and Zorunwag, which in turn included the former Africa, Australia and Oceania, to join in response to the alien threat!

The Earth Senate had passed a number of resolutions banning all those who might have communicated with the Rufus Ebendhaus in question, or leaked any high-level classified information. Investigations were going on with full force and without any scruples. But no matter how hard they tried, they seemed to come to a dead end and couldn't prove anything!

The area around Ensanor was more than futuristic - it included a geboran grid that reflected the sun's rays and made the base virtually invisible to the naked eye. Embedded in one of the nearby foliage-covered hills was the Time Disk, a futuristic quantum clock capable of running non-stop for over a hundred thousand years. It was an enormous disk with a flying sphere in the middle, which stood in the air, supported by an anti-gravity cushion, and two veoria nanomagnets provided the necessary force field.

What was their surprise when they realized who was really inside! Jervond came out with his hands held high, expecting to be shot! But instead, when he opened his eyes, the sunlight passed through his eyelids, which he had been clutching tightly for so long...

It was a world of light and a world of beauty. A world of innocence, but also of limitless possibilities!

- "Is this Earth, the home of my ancestors?," he plumed.  " I had lived in darkness for so long that I did not see the beauty around me. Apparently, the Light Creatures were right."

From the ultra-fortified docks of one of the base's auxiliary sub-stations, one of the sergeants named Giles emerged and called out in human Earth-speak:

- Who are you, please identify yourself!

But Jervond didn't understand the human Earth language, as he had communicated with the Light creatures, GH306 and Bonx mainly through telepathy so far.

Instead of humming he nodded and his eyes pointed to the corpses he carried.

The sergeant gasped and ordered several of the soldiers to carry them to safety. They obeyed at once.

They took Gervond to an isolated room and once he was able to explain everything to them through signs and the electronic documents he carried, they grabbed their heads.

- "You saved the whole Earth, sir," the sergeant addressed him in pure protocol, 'but not so much by your actions, but primarily by opening our eyes. The Earth Federation will continue to set its sights on distant worlds, but it will not forget for a long time that our true haven is here. Home!

The soldiers standing around cheering! And shouted "Hurrah!"

Jervond stayed to help the earthlings, and they soon made contact with Endugus Mylrow. The information shared was so valuable, and Jervond's account of the cloned computer viruses so incredible, that Endugus found himself thinking:

- Clearly we had to redirect our cooperation with Earthlings in a completely different direction or we might all be gone altogether in some of the next versions of the universe!

EPILOGUE

EPILOGUE

 

- "You think you got away with it, Jervond! Wait, you haven't seen anything yet! There are Light creatures waiting for you in that world beyond, but you will never be reborn again. Remember, messenger of darkness, that the impressions which the soul receives from the body are too fleeting, and there will be no allotment for you on the path of development! But the lines of fate are inexplicable, and thy path to Charon, where the souls of the dead rule, was too long and strange! Too thorny and denied by many, not least of all!," whispered one of the Light creatures that Jervond had seen on Haumea, "We must turn our eyes back and understand that all the ills we have had can be repaired!"

And somewhere down there on Earth, some new development of souls was beginning that might not be hindered by intergalactic conflicts.

Jervond Om Sam introduced the Earthlings to the Zegandarian way of life, and none of them dared object to his understandings, for the truth had to be acknowledged.

Many of Ertol Gis's advances were mastered and soon Earthlings were able to perform quantum teleportation, travel through space using tachyon engines and explore new worlds!

As for the Ervanans - well, nobody saw them or heard from them again. In this timeline, they no longer existed. But where was the actual breaking point?

One twilight before Jervond's successor Om San closed his eyes, one of the Light Creatures hovered over him and said:

- I come to you, Jervond, your debt must be cleared, you have received too much, and now is the time to pay.

- "Your will be done," said Jervond Om San humbly, "Apparently I am truly at the end of the road and there is nothing more to delay."

Before long his soul flew away. But for him there was no right to a second life.

Eberald Eziner walked with his family - now he would never again take the lives of innocent people who had suffered so much! He had returned to Earth, using the Earth Federation ship Ketsandorar, as the Bright Ones had spared him in the changing timelines of fate!

- "What a beautiful place!," he exclaimed. "I look upon it now with different eyes! Maybe everything that happened to us was just a bad dream!"

The two children and his wife cheerfully embraced him, and the countryside around was full of life!

Dedication:
The few survivors of the planet Zegandaria embark on a long journey to the cold and bleak satellite Charon, which lies in the solar system. In an attempt to escape the sinister secret of computer demon viruses buried deep beneath the surface of Zegandaria in a special sarcophagus they believe is sealed for all time. On the small space colony of Semrik Sin, which bears the name of one of the veterans of the City of Light, they find peace for a time, but it in turn does not last too long. Mysterious murders committed by the so-called Invisibles mark a dark series of secrets that is marked with more and more blood. After the murder of his best friend Jake, Jervond Om San convinces a small group of adventurers to embark on a sinister expedition to the so-called Dead City, located in the sinister Mordor Macula, where Jervond and his companions' ideas of reality will be upended.
