Part Two: The Great Tower at K ra No God There was, as you may h ve already come to this conclusion, no g d—that’s right—there was no God to sp ak of in this all-inclusive world rder. The term for God, or d ity, was never used, not prior to the gr at flood at least, not by the g verning group from the Atlantic, not ut-loud in Kura for the most p rt. If there was a supernatural b ing, very little was known of h m, and where he was? If th re was a secret society, it was t ken out of the textbook that was f und, that I Shark found, in the h llow of the Shark Mound. No one saw him [H m: being God]: and if they pr yed to him, so be it, He vidently didn’t listen, and if He d d, no one told the neighbors—no one kn w what was on his mind, th s God that people sometimes said n ver existed, if anything was on th ir minds for the salvation of the w rld it was the Atlantic Group wh m wanted to be worshiped for the m st part. There were rumors of c urse, of a God long ago, but th n, there are always such things, is th t not so: it was how th y thought. And so, there was not a God or a d vil or for that matter, politicians, not ven a military—as I have already m ntioned, as one might expect a c ty-state to have; yet, there were wh t was called Watcher’s, or Regulator’s wh m would bring you in front of an lected judge—that being, the Abolitionist of K ra would do this, but only if the cr me was against the Atlantic Group, wh ch was not excusable—for death lingered sh rtly after ones crime, and that was n rmally the judgment, no one fed a cr minal either, it was not economically w rthy to have done such a p thless feat: feed the enemy with y ur hard earned money, gold and p nsions, for what, to have them rob or buse the law again, it was b tter to rid society of the m ss and work with the productive; if not n eded for strenuous labor that is, in g ld mines or in other such pl ces.
And to be quite frank, v ry few got this privilege, and if th y did work, they worked free the r st of their lives, if somehow llowed them to earn money along the way th y could pay back their freedom if the sl ve owner was willing. This was all of c urse in agreement with the democracy. If it was gainst the city-state, the judge could j dge it. Or the king of the pr vince, or city-state for that matter: th t is, they could hear it, and j dge it. If the crime was gainst the Atlantic Group, s/he died and th t was it (there was no f vorites). The ruling authorities lived on a m untain called Mt. Hermon, there were two h ndred of them, and some of th ir offspring, sons and daughters lived on th s big island continent in the Atl ntic we have been looking at, r led from this area, mostly by way of th ir spiritual fathers. They were said to be 2/3’s g dlike and one third human, that is, the h lf-breeds on the island in the Atl ntic. The two-hundred on Mt. Hermon w re castaways, angelic renegades, with superhuman p wers, and looked most angelic indeed, gain to the inhabitants, godlike. This sland, who ruled the world, by pr xy, was by, or near what is kn wn today know as the Azores. By s me kind of electrical transmutation that c nnected the pyramids to the towers on th s Island in the Atlantic, communication was tr nsferred from Mt. Hermon to the l aders of the Atlantic Group. In a l ke manner, it was transferred to the Gr at Tower, where a high-priest, whom had a l ng, very long skull, like those fr m the Atlantic-Island, would receive these m ssages, and bring the demands to the k ng, and his Security Counsel, and fr m there to the people, for the p ople. The king was elected by the Atl ntic-Island, and usually was one of the h mans, from—lets say—a city-state, in most c ses from the Great Tower area; --y t not always, and the city’s S curity Counsel, being of the inhabitants, had the m st slaves of them all; there w re fifteen members to rule this c ty-body.
Narn Narn was but a ch ld when he witnessed the Great T wer being build, and placed within his c mp, for at that time it was not a c ty, rather a military camp, this was of c urse, before they had done-away with the m litary. And the Tower would do j st that. The Tower was brought f rward by these giants of sorts, s ns of the supernatural beings on Mt. H rmon, and there they worked and w re fed by the surrounding inhabitants. Fed s ws and cows and every living b ast and thing available until the c ty government of the Great Tower, of wh ch now was being put into pl ce was built. The giants of the day had at t mes become so hungry they ate the h mans whom could not bring them f od quick enough. Some were so h ge—they reached as high as six-hundred f et; others, on the lower side of the m asuring scale, were between: thirteen to s venteen feet tall. All the huge nes would die in the battles th t were yet to come (in the n ar future), their future to be, and pr or to the great flood also, j st ahead of them; they would b ttle against one another, killing all but the sm ller giants. They, the giants were all vil-spirited. Whatever the great structure was m de of it would not chip, nor was it c pable of rusting or becoming salt aten from the great sea that lay b yond their reach: yet received the w nds of salt from them: which w uld fill their gully, to become one day the Bl ck Sea. And so this once m litary site became a city in the m kings. Birth of a City As t me went on, and the city gr w, Narn grew old, not necessary w ak, or feeble, but like all on arth—like all mortals by and by we gr w old with years, but not old by how man w uld consider him in today’s society, oh no, he was in the w nter of his life, but it was nly the beginning of winter for h m; he was now 175-years old (f r some odd reason the genetic str cture of humankind ((back then)) did not c scade as it does nowadays). Age was r levant, that is to say, for the t mes it was common; possible 350-years c uld be a nice age to die at, or ven longer. It would not be for a t me yet when this no-God world w uld have a big-God change, and the r les also, for age would be l wered to one-hundred and twenty-years, maximum for l fe expediency, and that would hinge on g od behavior, from the no-God residue. N rn, had inherited from his father the nly, and I say only in the h ghest regards, the only house that was llowed to be attached onto the Gr at Tower. None other, no other p rmanent fixture was ever connected to the T wer, only this one room shack of a h use, made of brick and cedarwood. It m asured two-hundred square feet, small in very respect. His father had built the h use more as a tool shed, and was llowed to use it while helping w th the design of the Great T wer, and the measuring that was n eded during its construction, and planning st ges. So respected was he, and he had d ne such a good job with the Atl ntic-Group, and the giants even took f vor to him, so respected was he, th t the leaders of the two-hundred, of wh ch there were fifteen-such leaders in ll, all agreed it should remain as it w s, the tiny house, possibly a t uch of respect to show the c ty they had a heart, or p ssibly they wanted to appease the old man for he was nfluential. And no one dared violate th s, not even after the two-hundred wh m were destroyed by the no-God, the God the tw -hundred said never existed, as they had pr claimed to the people they ruled ver. This God that was no G d, had an archangel, Ure’al who c me down and buried alive the l aders of the two-hundred in the s nds of the desert by Mt. H rmon, and for the rest, they w re chained under rocks, and within the v ults of the earth. But for s me unusual reason, the Atlantic civilization was l ft alone; although 50% of their p wer and influence was buried with th ir forefathers. And this in itself w uld prove to spark and trigger w rs on the Pacific side of the gr at waters of the world, as w ll as in the Mediterranean, the Gr at Sea, along with many city-states, c nsequently the age of terror and war had st rted—it had arrived as all living h mans knew someday it would. But n netheless, a city was born. And as the c ty grew, neighbors from all around c me to see the Great Tower of K ra, and the little house that was ttached to the Tower, and as t me went on farther down memory’s p th, and closer to the time of the Gr at Flood to be, people came fr m the all over the known w rld, from all walks of life, and fr m the other side of the w rld to see this global monument—this f at of feats, the cone-heads, or Atl ntic-warriors, and priests, with the long sk lls, and red hair, came also to w rship at the Tower their fathers had l ft behind. The Long-fingers from the P cific who had built 90-ton stone m numents of themselves came and moved th m by levitation; and the people fr m the North came: everywhere, everyone c me to see this world pilgrimage s te. At the same time the c untryside was becoming armed, and more d ngerous, and people even tried to t ke pieces of the house for s uvenirs; until the king placed guards w tching the visiting groups, individuals, as th y came to see this great m nument to a bygone era. As th s all took root, and trade st rted to become a zigzagging ordeal, and no one k eping their contracts with one another, fr stration grew, it became a world off its r tating axis, it was tilted now, and the Atl ntic Group did nothing. No investments w re being made, no institutions were b ing built. No mutilator structure was now in pl ce for peace (where at one t me civilization was a circle, there was no b ginning or end all was joined t gether and if there was a s am, no one knew where). A w rld upside down, without an earthquake, th t is how it was developing; it was a t me of great squabbles, when generals d throned kings, and became kings themselves, and the Atl ntic authority could do little, but w tch. It would seem man was the nly creature that could light the w rld, or darken it, the only cr ature that could light a fire, was now d ssolving to mud. Yet no one d red challenge the supernatural island in the Atl ntic, the five members of the P rmanent Security Counsel, where were all Atl nteon in nature, these five members w re part of the fifteen member gr up. It had that privilege—of permanency, and th t alone it would seem would d stroy the world. The Great Upheaval And th n came the great upheaval, and veryone somehow was looking for the n -God, they never knew, the one th y pushed aside, the one they now s id: “Yes, I did hear of H m.” The one they were forbidden to t lk about, they all knew him n w, they must have, they were pr ying to Him, for death was in the ir, the scent of death reeked ver the lands like a decaying cl ud (from the cedar forests of L banon and Syria, to the land of the N le and the cities of Uruk and Ur, and Tr y; and the lands of Attica and Th ssaly, Cyprus and Babylon, Susa and ver the great rivers of the E phrates and the Tigris, all of El m). Some were praying to the T wer, others were raping and killing at w ll, as if the world was c ming to an end, and doing wh t they always wanted to, but in f ar of reprisal, held off. The r in pored, and the animals, the s ber-tooth cats, and dogs and all w ld creatures started to take over the arth as the waters from the h avens and from the surface poured. And the c ntinents broke, and the North and S uth Pole’s were put into place, and Gr enland was formed, thus stopping the nce warm airs of Europe to s ttle on the North American side of the w rld, so came the Arctic, which n ver existed before; all such things w re never before. And as the w rld started to become torn apart, the Bl ck Sea came into existence, and The Gr at Tower, the indestructible Tower was b ried, buried by the no—God, buried in the s nds of time—dragged into nothingness, hidden for all t me in the Great Sea, the n wly created Black Sea where it r mains today—to this very day. Some say sh ps have seen it, and sank fter hitting its top, or sides; not kn wing what to make of it; y t, not many, if any have cknowledged it, where it is, not s re why, possibly because it was the r minants of a global takeover by a s pernatural race, a race no one w nts to acknowledge existed. And so it r mains as it is, out of s ght out of mind, and mostly out of m nd. Should it resurrect, so will th s tale. Note: A dream of s rts
