It’s not worth of tryingto call this planet in a different way, for example Water. Because if you dilute the oceans, seas and rivers of the earth’s surface, the crust, which will be no more than the amount of water formed on the soccer ball after it was washed. This truth has long been proved by scientists. In ancient times, people named that planet exactly Earth – who says now that earlier people were not wise? And people also learned howto fly to other planets, though not too far away. And the interstellar flights remain still only dreams. Maybe it is good because a man is the most dangerous creature on Earth who can easily destroy any peaceful civilization. Or vice versa! Some vicious and aggressive civilization will defeat our planet utterly. Everything can be in this life. But while it is possible to live you should enjoy every minute of your existence. People talk about “aliens”, although, on the second thought, man is also a kind “stranger” (on Mars, for example) for micro-organisms or beings, if they exist at all on the rather distant planet from Earth….. Such thoughts left John’s head just as suddenly as they appeared.
He lay there, his body ached, trembled, legs twitched. During his short life, and he was then less than twenty, he had never felt such terrible pain (possibly in his future life he will have to experience more and not so). John had the strength only to press a button over the bed. Less than in ten seconds the nurse ran to him to “put out” this infernal pain, pricked John diphenhydramine. The injection was intramuscular and rather painful. In order the injection would act without delay, the nurse gave another shot (as they say, for the company). The essenceof John began to leave the body, he fell asleep and saw nothing but sky and clouds. Then came rushing clouds, lightning flashed before his eyes, the light from which “hid” all the surrounding objects from John, and for a while he even blinded. His ears heard a sudden thunder. John wondered much about it, because before he flaked out (though maybe it was in reality), the sky had no cloud. He dreamed or not – he had yet to learn, but it was very realistic but, as like the real thing. His eyes were opened by the sharp light that lit up his bed. “This is a common dream, because he dreamed about something like it many times”, – persuaded his mind Jonathan. The light was white, very bright, he drew him to it. In the ward there were two more, only one bed was empty. The light blinded guys too, but they did not move, were in a deep sleep as if some force slapped them five shots of sleeping pills. Perhaps the bright, blinding light was that power. John got up, he did not want it, but that light suppressed his desire to fight, resist, because he did not intend to press that saving button. And was it use from it when the nurses also slept like those two. The force restrained all his thoughts, it seemed that his mind was possessed by someone else. John opened the door and stepped out into the balcony, he walked like a zombie, at that moment it seemed that he would do whatever that power demanded from him, this was clearly an extraterrestrial mind.
His ward was located on the sixth floor, so if the force made him jump down, he would be smashed. But that power wanted it least of all. After all, if it quietly lulled to sleep the neighbors’ ward, it could kill him still in bed, but did not do it. In actual fact it was night outside, but it seemed that was the day. In the whole building was light, even lighter than during the day. The light could be compared with a lamp in a hundred candles and a huge spotlight, shining straight in the eye from a distance of one meter. John could not see what caused the light, and he did not think about it, as if his mind had left him… so it was. Despite a very bright light in the building, everyone was asleep. Now this force was able to do anything, with anyone of the people, and with John, our main character, as well. If you could see from bird’s eye view, we will make out an object, which was created from some sort of alloy and was constantly changing a shape: at first it looked like an inverted plate, then —an opened bottle of Coca-Cola, then a spiral. That object, whoever or whatever it was, changed its look hundred times, acquired the forms which nobody had seen before. On the ship, if you could call it that, bright searchlights were not burnt, as John thought. Certainly, that mind did not know such thing as searchlight, that mind did not know (or had forgotten many centuries ago), it passed ahead the development of mankind for billions of years. It hoveredin the air and silently soared in the sky. Only a slight buzz was heard when the air was flowing round the ship.
Nothing but the ship disturbed the peace and dead silence. The birds and locusts kept silent. Everything! Everything seemed to be dead.
Part 2
Ancient prophecy
If the stream of light poured your soul – know it’s a different Mind possessed of thee.
The ray illuminated the face of John, then followed a bright flash, and more and more… It was like a horror movie. John was hovering in the sky like a bird (though he had no wings), thanked to the strange ray that brought him to the ship. There was light as during the day, but lamps were not. The light appeared out of nowhere.
Suddenly he saw the extraordinary creatures. There were six. All were dressed in tight-fitting costumes. Jonathan was sitting in the chair. One of the creatures came to him. In this creature was something… human.
Maybe a gaze, or maybe something else. John did not know. The forehead of a stranger was a little more, if not to say twice the human race, there was something similar to the ears, but they were almost invisible compared to the forehead. The nose was small, thin, but long enough. The valve was put on the nose or maybe they had such a nose, large eyes, piercing through. The body was very thin, but muscular. Height was 160—170 cm. The creature looked at John with appraising glance. So he did. John thought, “If it’s so strange to me, how strange is I to it?” Yes, there is something to think about. Looking at a huge head, John realized that that creature was very clever. “Its head will generate more transactions than the last Mac (PC Macintosh). And that is to say about their technologies, equipment, for the people is not achievable”, – thought Smith. John for some reason really wanted to write his name in small letters: “john, john, john…”
The look of the creature was quiet, too quiet! John breathed on board so well as had never before. “They are probably full of sources of negative ions, – John thought, – no air conditioning can not be compared with this.”

The creature began to speak some ancient language, and perhaps was it the language of the future? But, however strange it was, John understood everything. It (John did not know the sex of the creature) told him that once they were homosapiens – John almost laughed him or her, damn it damn it, it was clear – that creature possessed telepathy, and felt the other people’s thoughts, smiled slightly (if it could be called a smile). It explained that during the evolution the nature had to choose what person had to live: physically strong or very intelligent, but weak. It chose the former. But siamats, as they are now called, did not give up. They built something like a spacecraft, such as Noah’s Ark at that time, and went into space. They flew a few galaxies and landed on a planet which did them for existence. They called it Norius. At first it was almost a desert. But thanks to hard work and help from other civilizations, siamats became one of the most powerful civilizations in the Universe (in scientific terms). John did not know whether to believe him in that nonsense, but continued to listen. Soon, another civilization, kirundiyts, from the Urre planet began to encroach on Norrius and the colonies of siamats, which were few compared with the colonies of kerundiyts. Some of them were from other galaxies. One of the biggest weaknesses of the siamats people were tolerance and addiction to anything, even to the bad. Of course, there were brave men who wanted to protect Norrius, but there were not many, quite a few- somewhere around 250 thousand people. And all of them soon died in the battle against kirundiyts, none of them survived. It wasn’t a concept of the army, the weapons – nearly as well. Some kind of civilization of saugmans during the development of siamats taught them to build warships, which soon were
