Phaeton. The Dawn

A long time ago, between Mars and Jupiter, there was one more planet - Phaeton, that rotated around the Sun. It was smaller than the Earth and almost three times further from the Sun. On the Phaeton there lived intelligent beings similar to people in appearance, but possessing telepathic abilities. Due to this gift, it was possible for them to avoid any conflicts and wars. Without knowing neither money nor the power, the Phaetonians built a civilization in many respects surpassing human. Treating all the living with great solicitude, the Phaetonians developed in harmony with the world around.
But all of a sudden everything changed. The chain of undreamed-of events had resulted not only into the planet's destruction, but also in a loss of beliefs - beliefs in Good and the Creator. The Phaeton debris are still to this day rotating around the Sun as eternal monuments of this tragedy, which have forever changed the shape of the Universe.
But this was in the end and in the beginning ...


1. The Birth


Just a moment ago there was emptiness. And now everything is - sheer falling downwards. Pandora flies down the tunnel, as if it is weaved of thin silver threads. Ahead is uncertainty, but there is no fear. The heart trembles in anticipation of all the new. She feels presence of invisible fellows accompanying her hurtling flight. They are Angels - the Heavenly essences guarding her soul on her way to the land. Some time they fly together, but then they give a clear way to the girl. The next second a bright flash blinds eyes, and heat wraps her body. Pandora hears heartbeats, not in her breast, but outside.
"Who is she? What is around?"
Questions replace one another, and she is excited to receive answers.
"Learn and dominate the world," a voice whispered.
They were the first seconds of Pandora's life - the moment of inspiration, from which the counting of the Anunnaki's life begins. In Mother's belly, where she was at that moment, the girl could hear her voice.
On the Earth live people, and on the Phaeton lived the Anunnaki. They talked in the most ancient language in the Universe. Besides the gift of speech, the Anunnaki possessed one more uncanny ability - telepathy.
For only one second, you can imagine anything that will require a long description. A thought contains millions of shades, while by means of a language, it is possible to transmit only some of them. The thought is primary, and the words are secondary. Not rich language could completely reflect all the refinements of the human thinking process. If I ask you to imagine the smell of fresh bread, the sound of sea wash, the taste of tangerines, you will reproduce your own memoirs, but not mine.
Unlike people, the Anunnaki were able to broadcast these images telepathically, without language. The disappointment, delight - any emotional feelings were instantly transmitted to the partner. Starting a telepathic dialogue, the collocutors exposed their feelings to each other. For this reason they never lied, after all any slightest emotion was clearly visible to the eyes.
"In the beginning there was the Great Architect," Pandora's Mother started to say, "He created this wonderful world, and filled it with harmony and beauty."
Space landscapes appeared in the girl's mind. Unimaginable wide open spaces of the Universe were filled with spiral galaxies and violet-orange nebulas.
"The Architect lighted the stars and placed all the planets," Mother continued to tell.
In the girl's imagination, a picture of the Milky Way appeared. Pandora flied along the arm of a galaxy, and then, having dived between stars, found herself in the centre of a solar system. Planets rotated round the yellow giant - the Sun. All of them were magnificent, but three of them, surrounded with a blue aura of atmospheres, drew the eye as a magnet draws iron.
The first planet - the Phaeton - the cradle of life. The hilly land covered with rivers and lakes.
The second - Mars. A planet, raising to the sky its snow-covered mountain peaks and formidable volcanoes.
And the third - the Earth, as splendid and young as the pure maiden, almost completely covered with water.
These entire images were transmitted telepathically to Pandora by her Mother, allowing the girl to see the world around till her birth.
"Seeds of life are sowed on many planets in the Universe. Life multiplies and develops under the established laws, filling open spaces of the worlds, not yet discovered by us. But even in all its variety, nature is not capable to create any being similar to us - the Anunnaki. We are a part of the Creator; we are His children and successors. We are endowed with wisdom and power over animals and birds. We are the only reasonable beings in the Universe - created in His image and similarity."
The Anunnaki outwardly resembled people, but were distinguished by their unique figure and grace. The ideal genes designed by the Creator, without any failures were transferred across the generations, reserving for the Anunnaki the right to name themselves the crown of the Divine creation. Their bodies were independent of time, ageing, illness, and even death. The Anunnaki's cells divided fatiguelessly, keeping them eternal youth. In other words - the Phaetonians were immortal.
Pandora's Mother continued to transmit images of the planet to her. The girl floated above the Phaeton. The planet was so wonderful, that she desired to embrace it entirely. She was eager to step onto the ground, and run across the field, shaking down the dewdrops from the meadow flowers. The girl's heart was filled with love, and she wanted to share this sensation with everybody. She was grateful to the Architect for the creation of this miraculous and glorious world.
After some months from the day of inspiration, the baby's laughter let know of a birth of the new Anunnaku. Pandora smiled to the airy and interesting life, attracting her with unexplored mysteries. The untouched treasures - the knowledge of the Universe - were before her, and she had an eternity of immortal life on solving all of its secrets.
Pandora was growing up while the planet was rotating around the Sun, with each turn approaching the day of destruction. Nothing foreboded that the greatest civilization in the Universe would suddenly turn into a legend.


2. The Garden


The Anunnaki lived in one of those, apparently, utopian societies without hierarchies, wars and disagreements. It was organized like a brain consisting of a set of separate cells - Neurones. Every single Neurone carries out its small function, inseparably connected with the work of the whole body. In such system, each individual is involved in a management process. Due to harmonious work of all Anunnaki, the Phaetonians reached an unprecedented development of science and technology. Vehicles and flying machines surpassed the most ambitious imaginations of humans.
On the Phaeton, there were neither circuses, nor amusement parks, or other leisured entertainments, which were invented by people to make away with boredom. The Anunnaki's thoughts were filled with numerous ideas and plans, implementation of which was for them sweeter than any entertainment. Not having bad habits, the Phaetonians had a soft spot in their hearts only to exact forms, and the aspiration to excellence was their obsession.
Seventeen years had passed since the date of Pandora's birth. The girl had grown winsome and svelte. However, the beauty was not an exclusive quality for the Anunnaki, and every Phaetonian was worthy of a great artist's brush. On the day our story begins, Pandora sauntered through the fine park planned in a huge skyscraper. Ladders with delicate handrails, platforms with fruit trees and hanging avenues with rose-form lamps were intertwined in a single whole in the building. The sunlight flew through the panoramic windows, and it seemed, as if the garden hung in the clouds.
The Anunnaki had no houses in common understanding - the houses where people live with the families, arrange parties, or hide their property. The Anunnaki were afraid of nobody, felt shy of nobody, and did not hide from anybody. They were one big family living in one big house, the planet of Phaeton. Skyscraper grounds, called Gardens, were places for meetings. The Anunnaki came here to have a rest and socialize. Though telepathy allowed them to exchange thoughts at a distance; it did not replace affectionate embraces and soft glances.
Pandora was wandering across the park. Meeting glances with the Anunnaki, she was transmitting kindly wishes to them telepathically. But they were not simply words; the girl transmitted images - animals out of clouds, smelling of vanilla or velvet peaches, suddenly blowing up with a splash of mint sugar candies. Pandora was not ashamed of her fantastical imaginations. In a dialogue, the Phaetonians never showed sarcasm, did not lie, neither did they dissemble; they were open and well-wishing. They were not knowledgeable of sniping, mockery, and half-words - without which human conversations, frequently, do not manage at all.
Continuing walking in the park, Pandora saw a woman, sitting under a tree in a deep thoughtfulness. Graceful fingers were squeezing an opened notebook; a pencil was inactively laying aside; the crumpled sheets of paper were scattered around.
"Aha," thought Pandora, "an inventor."
It seemed, the woman got confused in thoughts, and anyhow could not solve a problem.
"You need to distract," Pandora said under her breath, and sent an image of a big fluffy cat to her. The animal was lounging in beams of the warm sun and squeezing its eyes shut, stretching on a straw bedding.
As if a patch of sunlight had run over the inventor's face; she began to smile and looked around in search of the Anunnaku, who sent such a picturesque image. Preferring to remain unnoticed, Pandora pretended that she was looking in other direction. Not having seen her, the woman lifted a hand and waved complimentary.
"Thank you!" the woman shouted.
Pandora, for some more time observed the inventor who, it seemed, having received a drink of fresh air, captured the right thought; then the girl plucked some fruit from a tree and sat on a lawn. The Anunnaki were vegetarians, and ate only vegetable food, which was grown up here, in the Garden. And, certainly, everything was free on the Phaeton. Any Anunnaku took anything that they wanted, in return performing the set work. On the Phaeton, there were no old beings, disabled, and layabouts - every Anunnaku made the equivalent contribution to the development of the society.
Pandora felt someone was trying to connect with her telepathically. At that moment, an image of a stranger appeared in her imagination, and right after that, the butterflies flushed out of the grass. They raised and began to fly around the girl. Pandora yawped from the delight and tried to catch them.
The stranger smiled. Pandora could not see it, but the emotions were transmitted to her telepathically. In the meantime, butterflies turned into the flower petals and fell on the stretched palms of the girl. She looked at them, unable to believe, that it was only an illusion, telepathically transmitted to her by the stranger. Pandora inhaled the sweet aroma of flowers - a new unfamiliar smell. The petals thawed as little pieces of ice and glanced off in the grass. Pandora looked around; she did not see the stranger, but she knew that he was watching her.
To get into a contact with somebody, it was enough for the Anunnaki to imagine the face of a collocutor. Once having seen each other, the Phaetonians could transmit thoughts to each other at any distance, instantly and noise-free.
Pandora sent to the stranger a cloud with a question mark, thereby asking - who are you? In return, she received an image of a reversed rainbow and a map - a place where the stranger would be waiting for her right after the sunset.
The image of the invisible collocutor dissolved, having left the girl a disturbing and nothing like feeling. The heart danced in a joyful rhythm; the colors around became brighter and deeper; the air sparkled with freshness. She was afraid to move and lose this feeling. Pandora realized - she had fallen in love, but could not believe it had happened to her.
Although, there was more than an hour to the appointed meeting, the girl could not simply idle her time away. She came back, and lifted a device reminding the shape of a kite from the grass.
For travelling, the Anunnaki used kite-gliders - flying vehicles with a triangular wing. Having put it on her back, and having opened the wings, the girl resembled a metal robot-butterfly. Small apertures in the bottom of a wing read out from the tips of the fingers electric signals, arriving from brain; that made a flight as simple as riding a bicycle. Pandora got off the ground and dashed to the windows, which had helpfully swung open, letting the girl outside.
Through all the sky stretched the long caravans of the Anunnaki. The Phaetonians flied in the strictly defined air streams. These invisible borders were mentally created by the Anunnaki, allowing them to avoid crashes. Along with the kite-gliders, the sky was filled with disc-shaped vehicles. They easily slid in the air, challenging the law of gravitation.
A green carpet of boundless woods, hills and plains was spread under Pandora. As far as the eye could reach - everywhere - the tall skyscrapers rose over the trees. Lighted from below, they were shining like Christmas ornaments.
On the Phaeton, there were no cities like those on the Earth. Instead of heavy accumulation of buildings, avenues and motorways, the areas separated from nature located on a surface of the entire planet. These islands, sizing from a football field to several hectares, were built up with skyscraper gardens and factories. The Anunnaki traveled exceptionally by air; therefore, there was no need in cutting down woods for building roads.
