Бесплатный фрагмент - Children of the Moon

I will tell you a story that was told to me by a traveler, a strange traveler, like this story.

From the ashes of space and water, the Earth was born.

Soon, she longed for intelligence, and she told the cosmos of her desire.

The universe is kind, it is its nature, and it began to search for someone to share its «wits,» and the moon, a mysterious and cold companion, responded.

Mother moon gave the earth all the living and went to sleep of illusions, to rest.

The creatures gifted by the Moon were of various forms and abilities. It was obvious to them who they were and where they came from, what they could and could not do, but there was still a mystery that was hidden from their minds. Why did they come to Earth, who were they to Earth, and why were they given knowledge and wisdom? This was a secret that they had to discover for themselves as they followed their own paths of choice.

The traveler talked a lot about Krast, who was one of the first to materialize from the rays of the moon and stand on the solid surface of the Earth in the form of a strong and handsome young man. Although beauty is a matter of taste, he could easily change his appearance to suit any situation. This was one of his survival strategies.

Tall, black-eyed, with aristocratic features, this was the image that Krast liked the most, and he considered it to be his by right.

The Moon had given Earth creatures with a wide variety of appearances. There were one-eyed, four-faced creatures who looked in all directions, as well as eight-armed creatures with empty eye sockets and even creatures without heads, just walking bodies. Their personalities were also diverse, with some being stern, some being playful, and some being evil and cunning.

There were also those who had not yet decided on a body and were guarding the swamps or managing the forests, only occasionally materializing to engage in equal conversations with those who were clothed in earthly «dirt.»

At first, the chaos was overwhelming. The struggle for territory and the exploration of themselves and their bodies led to a state of intoxication. Everyone believed themselves to be the strongest, most beautiful, and most intelligent.

It must be said that the people were indeed gifted. Everyone communicated in images. And words had great power. They were spoken to stop the lava of a volcano, calm the ocean, and quiet the wind. With the help of sounds of a certain pitch, they lifted heavy objects, built cities, and communicated with the Cosmos.

But, the entire lunar people had three features of character — pride, vindictiveness and an irresistible desire to survive.

As you understand, without wars and bloody showdowns did not do without, in which ninety percent of the population died.

As a result of this, so-called «natural selection» remained the most adapted to the climate of the Earth and in general to the ability to live on the planet in the body and have the right to free choice.

And those who didn’t pass the «casting» materialized in the bodies of animals, who lived and still live today, but their «freedom of choice» is limited to their reflexes.

And when some kind of order was established, the intelligent ones, let’s call them humans, began to build cities, write the laws of life, and diligently enforce them.

Yes, there was one peculiar feature that was strange for our time: humans fed on moonlight and the Earth’s breath. Animals ate each other, or the fruits of the Earth — leaves, berries, mushrooms. And this was one of the main differences between the animal world and the conscious world.

So, about Krasta.

Krast was an average citizen of the glorious city of Melchom. As we remember, he defined himself as a handsome man with a charming gaze of black eyes. He was nourished by the rays of the cold moonlight and the warm energy of the Earth, mixing them in different proportions and quantities to create a variety of food.

Krast studied the mysteries of healing and held a position as a doctor in his city. However, in those ancient times, few people were ill, so his business was not thriving.
