The prologue
Naked, northern, stern edge, open spaces, hills, the sea, but everything is very beautiful, although wildly. We see the herd of sheep and a very young shepherd - it's Finn. He returns with the herd to the village. He is joyfully welcomed, the village is very simple, the people are simple but beautiful. There is also one who will become the White Queen in the future. She is young and fervent. She smiles at Finn. Blackout.
Next picture. Finn, already a little grown up on the Drakkar, along with other warriors swims into the sea. Among the soldiers, there is also one who will be the High Priest in the future. He is young too. They land on the shore and attack the village. The battle. They win. They return home with prey. This is the city and people have changed a little - they are dressed richer, brighter. They meet the winners joyfully, they make a feast. Blackout.
Finn on the seashore, alone, sits and stares into the distance, beyond the horizon.
Next picture. Finn has been already the one whom we will see later, and the one who will later be the High Priest approaches the Cave, near which there are several Magi - men and women in white linen robes, with baculi, although the hair and beards are hoary, all the faces are snot old. They bowed to the Magi, and the Magi enters both in the cave and they are in a different dimension. When Finn entered there, he suddenly remained alone. Here everything is fluid and unsteady - nothing stands still, everything flows from one to another. Here all at once say something and whisper, all alive and reasonable. Finn, appeared in this place, almost perished, he was almost dragged out to Earth, he almost disappeared into the Water, he was nearly blown away by the Wind. But he sat down in Padmasana, braced himself, concentrated, and everything began to gradually stop, the chaos ceased, everything fell into place. He has stayed like this for many years. And now he stretches out his hand, and the water pours into the palm of his hand. He drinks. He can control the Wind, Fire, a wave of a finger to cause the swing of the forest as from the wind. But this is only the beginning.
Next picture - he sits in a cave and studies scrolls.
Next picture - to him as if in half asleep appears the beautiful Shamakhan Queen - she is in a half-light but looks very attractive. He looks at her with lust.
Next picture. Finn at night, in an open space under the starry sky, creates spells. His actions, secretly observes the one who will be the future High Priest. The spells begins to act, and from the obscure fog appears the Shamakhan Queen. She approaches Finn, sweet music starts to play, rustles, whispers, she approaches, slightly dancing and swaying, hypnotically staring straight into Finn's eyes. He almost succumbed to hypnosis. She wraps her body around him, she is almost clinging to him for a kiss. But then Finn opened his eyes and saw through the shroud that he was embraced by a terrible old woman, who also had a few toes on her hands or paws! And she whispers to him in her uterine voice: "Come into my arms ... Oh dear, darling! I'm dying!”
Finn began to disengage from her embraces with horror, but each of his movements led to the fact that she tightened her grip, and her face became increasingly ruthless, cold, nothing expressing the look of the Predator. He saw this look face to face, he saw in the depths of her eyes the cosmic distances covered with cobwebs and billions of spiders, weaving this web all over the Universe. And billions of spiders, which bleeds dry their victims, which then become devastated like rotten leaves.
It was an instant vision, but it gave Finn strength from the last forces to strain and break out of the embrace, and he fled with a cry, leaving his shirt in her paws. She glared at him angrily and began to dissolve in the air. The last frame is the face of the future High Priest.
The End of the Prologue
The Primary action.
A simple, traditional song is heard somewhere. A woman sings. A Mother milks a cow. The cow is Hathor. Mother is Bella. A boy about 7 years old sleeps. She brings milk and bread for him. There is golden soft light everywhere. He wakes up. She hugs him. Arcane 21 The Universe.
“You’re such a grown-up, almost an adult. It is time for you to learn about the world” - she gives him a sack…”Here is for the road. Go to my sister, she will take you.”
They say goodbye.
Mother -
“Ñhummy will escort you.”
A dog like Husky obediently runs after the outgoing boy.
Mother
“Come back!”
He goes, she waves to him. He walks along the footpath for a long time. The dog catches up with him, and then runs forward, listening and sniffing. All movements from left to right like the movements of the sun. This is an incarnation in the esoteric sense. Arcane 22 - the Fool.
The boy with light-brown hair and blue eyes is dressed in the white linen.
He approaches a river. The river is slow as if it was made of oil. A boat floats on the river, like in this picture, but it is steered by a beautiful woman in white.
This is Ino.
She docks to the shore and offers the boy to sit in the boat. He sits down, the dog remains on the shore. For some time they both look at each other. The dog sits down and observes. Then, having convinced that everything is good, the dog turns and runs back home.
The boat is in the middle of the rivers.
She does not speak to him, just smiles. He is a little bit shy, but he smiles at her too.
Ino -
“Do you want to row?” - She asked him in the middle of the river. He nods at the answer. She gives him an oar and moves from him.
He takes an oar and starts to row. At first, it is difficult for him to do so, but soon the boat is leveled and starts to go smoothly and powerfully. With every stroke, he feels flowing Force. They go to the other side of the shore. Arcane 1 Magician.
He lands on the shore and, looking back, says goodbye to Ino. She smiles and waves to him back. He passes through the gate – this is the Yoni. Arcane 2 Goddess of the Source.
He comes into this world. He is happily greeted, mostly by children and led to the Queen. Arcane 3 Empress.
This is White Arktida or Hyperborea. They took him to the White Queen. She sits in the field. Children play around her.
The White Queen -
“What a comely boy. Let me look at you.”
The White Queen – is Freya has a staff in her right hand, on the top of which is a rune of Life.
The White Queen is a light blond, blue-eyed woman is about 40-45 years old with soft facial features.
Clothes of children and adults are similar to ancient Greek clothes. Children wear short tunics; adults wear long, reaching to their toes ones. They swim naked in the river. Houses are also not Slavic, because Arktida is the native land of all Nordic people, that is why there should not be any typical Slavic style. Architecture is simple, beautiful and light.
He becomes a shepherd. Let’s name him Swan.
He lives there in spring and in summer. There is a constant pleasure, songs, dances, and Funny Games. People live in peace and friendship together with animals with deer, bears, foxes, hares. Weddings are celebrated directly in woods, in the fields. All description of White Arktida occupies about 5-7 minutes of screen time. Separate scenes replace each other through the short blackout.
Option. The inclusion of a pair of winter scenes, to show that it is Arktida. Driving on a sled, a capture of a snow fortress, burning in winter, etc.
Swan plays the flute near the lake in the wood. He is 7 years old. A camera shoots a lake panorama and returns back to Swan, now he is about 14 years old.
He plays, and everything sings along with him. Suddenly he sees a Swan swimming on a smooth surface of the lake. It swims directly to the shore, slowly, but more closer and closer. Swan continues to play. The Swan has flown to the shore and has suddenly turns into the fine girl. Swan stops playing, approaches her and takes her hand, and looks into her face. She looks directly at his eyes, and they express only one thing – “You won't offend me?”
He hugs her, and she clung to his chest and from time to time glances at him with the same mute question. He takes her hand and they joyfully run through a wood to the village. He takes her to the White Queen, and she joyfully meets them. Everyone runs to them to look at the fine girl. And then the wedding ceremony begins. And when the White Queen has already put wreaths of flowers on their heads, and they were about to kiss … all this Paradise has ended. During this moment there is heard a howl, the war-call and the whole Horde of soldiers is appeared on a glade. Swan is also frightened. He sees how dark shaggy armed figures pour out on the field. He turns around and sees how his bride escapes and on the motion turns into the Swan and soars up into the sky. He watches her leaving. She disappears into the blue sky.
Kshatriyas warriors from the same tribe surround this world. Everybody is captured, the White Queen too. They set fire to the towers. The pogrom lasts 3-5 minutes of screen time. Everybode is taken. All this mayhem is led by the Junior Priest. The Junior Priest is years 25-30 years old. He dressed in brown and black ankle-length gown. He has a small beard, fanatic face and cruel and relentless eyes. All Soldiers, even young ones, have beards. Movements of soldiers and later of captives go from right to left – against the Sun.
Everybody comes to a courtyard of the Konung. Arcane 4 Emperor.
The White Queen enters a hall where the Konung sits on a throne. He is a 45 year old man, very strong, bearded, in armor, on shoulders – leather, a sword in a sheath. The large dog similar to a wolf sits ext to the throne.
He sits sprawled and cheekily looks at The White Queen, who is standing in the middle of the hall. There are some soldiers who look at her frowned with distaste. Behind the throne, on the left side, the Junior Priest stands, and from time to time he slightly tilts and whispers something to the Konung.
The White Queen angrily –
“How dare you, dog!”
The Konung –
“Shut up, witch, your power is over!”
The White Queen drew attention to the Junior Priest -
“Ah, so now you are supervised by eunuchs! I see now clear from where the rotten wind blows.”
The Junior Priest has lost his temper, and as if justify in front of the warriors –
“You’re lying, witch, we are not eunuchs! We are monks, and woman's flesh is repulsive to us!”
The White Queen –
“And who has given birth to you, miserable, you have forgotten already?“
The Junior Priest doesn't know what to answer and the Konung slightly stops him.
The Konung angrily –
“I ordered you to stop doing magic, not to conduct seditious matters, not to wed anyone without my permission! And you continue! I ordered to stop worshiping the Sun and the Moon, the Wind, and you still do. I ordered you to give boys to the warriors and you don’t. I ordered you to cover nakedness in the baths and you still dont. I ordered you to bathe men and women separately! I ordered Maidens to sit in their houses and wait till they are chosen, and not to choose future husbands themselves!”
The White Queen –
“Madman! If the Maiden can't choose their future husbands as it was forever and ever, the people will decay and will degenerate! You want to destroy the most sacred thing!!”
The Konung –
“Nothing will be now as you wish, but as I do!”
The White Queen –
“Think again, Konung, you are in delusion on you! You have no idea what trouble you are bringing on yourself and other people.”
The Konung –
“To us, the power of your Mother is a burden!”
The White Queen –
“She is your mother too.”
The Konung –
"I renounce!"
The White Queen –
“Now listen! The one, who refuses the Mother who has given birth to him, is Life unworthy! That's what will be on your way - you will lose your land, like tramps will wander all over the world, the native language will forget, you will fight with each other and spill rivers of blood, but there is more to come – your women will give birth to sick children and you will live with illnesses and sufferings and your Gods you will be Murderers and Cannibals whom you will feed with the souls! You all will defile the Earth, and it will rise against you, and you will disappear like…”
The Junior Priest loudly in the audience, provoking –
“She puts a curse on us!”
The White Queen –
“You have cursed yourselves when you have betrayed your Mother!”
The Konung –
“Will anybody stop this witch?”
The Junior Priest has imperceptibly nodded to one of the soldiers. It is young, a 25 year soldier, with an impudent and unkind look. He went to the middle of the hall, took out a sword on the way, he approached the White Queen, and looked back around and grinned …
The White Queen to the Konung –
“You won't dare!.”
The soldier –
“Watch me.”
He beheads her. The Earth has shuddered.
Everyone is shaken, including the Konung. He has already turned white but quickly put himself up.
The head of the White Queen is wrapped in a leather bag and her body is taken away. Everything else continues as usual.
Someone shouts, pointing at the yard -
“And what to do with all these people? “
The Konung -
“Separate maids from guys. Send girls to work, and guys to barracks. We will quickly beat the female spirit out of them.”
The Junior Priest –
“Konung, the Supreme Priest wants to see you.”
The Konung -
“What does he want from me?”
The Junior Priest –
“It is urgent. Time is running out. You will find out everything there.”
The Konung, breathed deeply –
“Well, let’s go.”
He doesn’t want to meet with the Supreme Priest. The Junior Priest, the Konung, some soldiers take horses and go. All movements are again from the right to left. They reach the Tower.
All dismount. The Gate is opened and the Konung together with the Junior Priest who has a bag with a head of the White Queen, enter inside. The others remain outside. They appear in a gloomy hall which is shined with candles. Somewhere above there are still narrow windows of a loophole. In the middle of the hall, the Supreme Priest sits on the Throne. He is 55-60 years old man, with the severe face and a long beard, similar to Saruman. He wears a black and brown mantle, same as other Priests.
He holds a staff in his left hand, on top of which is the rune of “Death”.
Around 20 monks stand near the throne.
The Konung and the Junior Priest stand now in front of a throne. Arcane 5 Hierophant.
The Konung approaches the Throne and shows the Supreme Priest the Head of the White Queen in a bag. The Supreme Priest, slightly having inclined ahead, cast a look and indifferently slightly waves his hand as saying to take it away.
The Supreme Priest –
“You have done everything correctly, Konung! Now I have one important thing with you. Everybody, leave us alone!”
Monks obediently disappear through lateral doors.
The Supreme Priest –
“Come closer.”
The Konung approaches and, as though having sat down on one knee, from below looks upwards The Supreme Priest.
The Supreme Priest –
“It is necessary for you to marry, Konung.”
The Konung -
“So, I have a wife and others …” –
The Supreme Priest –
“Leave them, why do you need those silly women? I have found for you the real Queen!”
The Konung -
“What kind of a Queen?“
The Konung asks with mistrust and suspicion.
The Supreme Priest –
“She has huge power, thousand kingdoms and worlds are under her power.”
The Konung -
“Is not she from our world?
The Konung asks almost in horror.
The Supreme Priest –
“Don’t be so afraid… You are a warrior!”
The Konung -
“Yes, but somehow it is still scary.”
The Supreme Priest –
"You know how many enemies we have - in the West and in the South and in the East, and she will give us such Power, that we will raze all enemies with the ground!"
The Konung -
"Yes, we have a lot of enemies - the Konung thoughtfully answers, - Why did these wars begin? Where did these enemies come from? The first war started when you were a warrior,."
The Supreme Priest -
"Shut your mouth up, little you know."
The Konung -
"Insulting words you tell, Priest!"
The Supreme Priest –
“Have you forgotten how you were a shaggy dog who was running in my courtyard and taking pieces from my hand?”
The Konung -
“How can we remember, it is you who has the best mind and best memory…” The Konung says apologizing.
The Supreme Priest -
“So listen to the Senior and don't contradict. I'll bend you like a horn of a ram..”
The Supreme Priest continues almost in a whisper -
“There is such Shamakhan Queen with dazzling beauty of a girl, tall, slim…if you become her husband, you will become a God, Immortal!”
The Konung –
“Why don’t you marry her and become Immortal God?”
The Supreme Priest -
“It is impossible for me. I cannot, I made a vow of monasticism.”
The Konung –
“I have some doubts…”
The Supreme Priest -
“Doubts? So we will find another! You know, how many people will be interested– only click! However, you will have to take off your Konungly crown.”
The Konung –
“It is fine … I agree … to become a God, you say?”
The Supreme Priest -
“And an Immortal.”
The Konung –
“When should I do it?”
The Supreme Priest –
“Now!”
The Konung has already turned pale…
“Now!?!” - The Konung agreed… - “Well, let’s do it…”
The Supreme Priest –
“We will go through the lower dark world (or “dusk”).”
The Supreme Priest rising from the Throne and taking out a torch from a wall.
They come behind the throne to the left, there, in the depth of darkness – the low door. The Supreme Priest approaches it and knocks it with a bottom end of the staff and it opens. The Supreme Priest slopes and passes first, Konung followed him.
The door closes and they go down the steps in the long tunnel. The Supreme Priest is ahead, illuminating the path with a torch, the Konung with fear – behind him.
There is dead silence around. When came down, at first bats began to fly around which the Konung waved away with a sword, furthermore, in the dark on both sides of a low track, on which they are – slippery bodies, further – intertwined snake bodies – a continuous carpet of swarming insects, and then even lower – generally incomprehensible, scary creatures with tentacles and suckers, slimy and disgusting.
They go down a long time, then begins the ascent up. Then they find themselves in a sort of white mist, and suddenly such picture opens in front of them:
And between mountains high appears,
The silky large marquee.
«Where are we?» - the Konung asks frightenedly.
The Supreme Priest -
«In another world. Do what I say. Let’s go!”
They start to approach the tabernacle.
Suddenly the tent was thrown open… and the Shamakhan Queen, all shining like the dawn, quietly met the Konung. As the night before the sunbird, the Konung was silent, staring into her eyes…
The Supreme Priest -
“Go!”
The Supreme Priest sends the Konung and the Konung uncertainly starts to approach the Shamakhan Queen. The video camera is behind him – he is like a shade against bright light.
The Shamakhan Queen is of uncertain color, but not a brunette; she is bright, tall. She moves a little strange, she's a head taller than him, swaying, her smile is artificial, dressed in purple and black. On her head – a diadem, on hands are bracelets.
Arcane 6 Enamored.
She puts him on the table with a reverence, pours a cup of wine, offers a variety of wonderful foreign dishes, but all in silence. The atmosphere is mysterious.
The Konung in a whisper -
“Why is she all the time silent?”
The Supreme Priest –
“ Probably she doesn’t know how to speak our language. Don’t be afraid!”
The Konung drinks some wine, tastes the dishes and relaxed looks around, everything starts singing, ringing, some delightful sounds; some mysterious rustles are carried…
The Konung becomes more cheerful, begins to look more safely at the Shamakhan Queen. The Supreme Priest stands nearby and eats nothing and doesn't drink. The Konung likes such disposition – he always bowed before the Supreme Priest, and now he stands beside him like a servant.
She beckones the Konung again - this time on a brocaded canopy bed. He sits down to her and she is near him. He is quite enchanted, intoxicated. The Magic music is heard. Everything in his eyes becomes floating.
He looks through a veil on her, she is already standing in front of him, and he feels that she gets new hands growing, but he drives away the delusion. She beckons him again and this time – to the throne, which stands in recess tent. She brings him to the throne and makes him sit on it.
He sits down and it seems to him like he is becoming “The Master of the Universe”. She slowly stands to the back of the throne and suddenly begins to turn into a giant spider. But the Konung does not see it, only the Supreme Priest does.
When she becomes half Woman, half Spider, she starts to twist the Konung with a web. He is terrified – he cannot move anymore!
The Konung -
“Priest! What is it? What’s wrong with me?”
The Supreme Priest -
“You are becoming the God, as I promised” - the Supreme Priest answers him with a grin.
The Spider towers over him and stings his head and starts to drink the brain up.
The Konung gradually turns grey, his sight becomes glassy, but he does not die. Suddenly, from behind and rustle of the curtain, at the bottom of the tent, some more half-dead, semi-mechanical reptile appears, like an octopus with long black hoses and it starts to stick all charkas, on the body, on hands and feet, on the head.
As a result – the Konung is entangled in the black hose, the main one of which goes to the darkness behind the curtain tent. The hose out of the darkness begins to creep out the hordes of spider and begins to spin a web, very fast and gradually expanding its covering more space.
The Woman-spider turns again into the Shamakhan Queen. She pulls out from the depths of the Tent shiny conical hat, which is also behind the hose, leaving behind a curtain and mounts it on the head of motionless Konung. A bright star is burning brightly on his forehead.
The Shamakhan Queen -
“Here’s your the All-Seeing Eye, hubby.”
She says in a sepulchral voice. It is clear why she has so far remained silent. She speaks with a little accent.
The Shamakhan Queen-
“You did everything right, Priest, I will thank you. Have you got rid of that local floosy who impudently declared herself a goddess?”
The Supreme Priest -
“Of her sister.”
The Shamakhan Queen threateningly -
“What? The job should be done, as ordered!”
The Supreme Priest -
“Forgive me.”
The Shamakhan Queen-
“I will forgive when you will subordinate to my power this entire little world.”
The Supreme Priest -
“We have little strengths and a lot of enemies.”
TheShamakhan Queen-
“I will give you the Force but it will be necessary to pay for it. Are you ready?”
The Supreme Priest -
“Yes.“
The Shamakhan Queen -
“You will pay for it with human souls. Your human Souls are very nutritious!”
The Supreme Priest becomes grey and lowers his head -
“ I obey.”
The Shamakhan Queen -
“Here is my creation.”
She gives him a sack with some roundels, each with red Pentagram.
Supreme Priest -
“What is it?”
TheShamakhan Queen -
“Seeds. You must sow these seeds in the womb of young virgins. These seeds will grow up warriors, loyal to me and you and they will crush all your enemies. They, of course, not very brainy, but it is not necessary for soldiers to have a superior intelligence.”
The Supreme Priest -
“Thank you, the sovereign!”
The Shamakhan Queen -
“Go back and wait for instructions!”
They go outside and the Shamakhan Queen claps. There is a chariot harnessed by the Dragon. The Supreme Priest sits down in it, and the chariot shoots up and carries away to the left, into the fog. Arcane 7 Charioteer.
The Shamakhan Queen comes back to the Tent, carelessly passes by the Throne with the Konung, and pushes the curtain at the bottom and hiding there. There is silence. Only spiders quickly scurry over the hoses. Spiders are of a palm size. The camera begins to pull off backwards, showing all system devices.
The shot outside of the Tent – the camera makes removal, you first see the throne and the Konung, then only the All-seeing Eye is visible, which sparkles from a triangular Tent, and in different directions with great speed the spider web begins to expand from it, which covers the entire Earth. This tent is on top of the North Pole of the Earth and hangs above it. The threads of the web are rapidly covering people's settlements. People do not see this web, which entangles them. When the web entangles a person, he becomes gray, and the eyes are sad. Small spiders run through the net and get into the persons. Blackout.
Gloomy, cold, foggy morning. Near the forest is a long, gloomy one-story house with a sloping roof, the low windows. Boys are sleeping inside the house. They sleep on beds, lie in a row, all have the same blankets.
Two soldiers enter barracks – one senior – 40 years old, another young – about 20 years old.
The old soldier -
“Get up!!! What, Pantywaists, remembered mommy? Quickly rise! Run!”
Boys fall out in a crowd on the street and line up in discordant ranks. All of the boys are 12 – 15 years old.
Swan is also among them. The young soldier walks in front of rows and roughly pushes the boys, lining the ranks. The old soldier faces to ranks –
“How many times should I teach you, blockheads? We need soldiers, not the dancers and singers. Forget your mommies and grannies! Now you have the Heavenly Father! He sees everything and everyone, will punish everyone for disobedience.”
He strolls in front of the line and waves the sword.
“Who will argues and does not obey, he will be up all night hanging on a pillar like this one.”
The video camera rotates and we can see the pillar with a boy tied to it. He is swollen from the mosquitos, unconscious.
The old soldier orders to younger one -
“Untie!”
He approaches, unties the ropes, and the boy falls -
“Recover him!” – orders the Senior. Two slightly older boys bring a pail of water and pour out on the guilty boy. He wakes up and begins to move but still cannot get up. The senior approaches him, takes him roughly by his chin.
The old soldier -
“Well, bastard, have you learnt your lesson?”
The boy with fear looks at the soldier.
The old soldier -
“Will you argue with a senior?”
The Boy -
“No…” - he gasps.
The old soldier -
“Good... Go quickly in the end of the line!”
The boy rises hardly, limping, runs in front of a line of the ranks.
Arcane 8 Justice.
The old soldier -
«Now there will be no breakfast. He’s the one who’s responsible for it. You don’t deserve it! You will have it if you will carry out a task. The task is to go to the wood, find an animal, surround it and kill. If you execute that, you will have your meal! If not, you will remain hungry. Everybody take a spear and forth!”
Boys’ crowd rush to the weapon which standsas pyramids. These are short spears, as long as a man’s height.
The young soldier -
“Follow me quietly, stealthily, without the noise!”
And all of them, having bent down, run in woods. The movement goes from the right to the left. They silently go making in woods. After a while, the young soldier gives a command to all to stop, stand still and listen. There is some noise is heard ahead in the woods.
The soldier gives the team signs – to bypass on the left and right. All are strained. They finally made their way deeper and see on a small clearing a bear with a bear cub. The soldier gives a command and throws the first a spear at the mother-bear. She begins to roar and starts to thrash about, but from different directions, spears fly on her. And she can't escape, abandoning her young cub. The ring is compressed, she has more and more wounds, and she bleeds profusely.
She falls, she is surrounded, and the slaughter-house begins. The Soldier has predatory gambling, he hit the mother-bear and orders boys to kill her. Some boys finish a bear cub.
The Soldier -
“Why you are not killing it?”
The Soldier shouts at Swan. He stands slightly apart and with horror and tears in his eyes looking at what is happening.
The Soldier -
“Kill it!”
Swan throws a spear at the ground and runs off to the right.
The Soldier -
“Where are you running? Stop!!! Catch him!!!”
All turn around, having regained consciousness from the passion of murder, see Swan escaping, and look at the soldier.
The Soldier -
“What are you looking, blockheads – catch the Traitor!”
They turn into a flock and begin chasing through the woods. Long run. The road is narrows, because rocks are on the right and left sides.
The Soldier -
“He cannot escape!”
There is really nowhere to run, because there is asteep rocky ascent in front too. Swan in despair and utter exhaustion leans against the stone and it moves and he appears in the niche. The stone moves back. This is Great Mother saves him. He could see everything through the gap – the pursuit reaches the same place.
The Soldier -
“Where is he? Did he evaporate? That’s evil!”
They roam around but in vain.
The Soldier -
“Well, he will not go away, he will return or animals will eat him.”
They all go away. He is still for a long time sitting in the shelter. When twilight begins, he leans on a stone and it lets him out. He roams to a stream and insatiably drinks.
Where to go? He is alone.
Arcane 9 Hermit.
He slept through the night hiding in the branches of the fir tree. The morning is again foggy and cold. He woke up hungry, tired and desperate. He wanders through the woods. Finally, he comes to an open area where there is a footpath. It takes him to a crossroad.
There is the city is visible from the left. You can go there. They will punish you for running away, but eventually, will feed you, and everything will be the same. He sits down at the crossroad not knowing what to do.
Arcane 10 Wheel of Fortune.
He sits for a long time. Suddenly he sees a white butterfly. She sits in the middle and has a rest, waving from time to time wings. He lookes at her – he will go where she will fly.
The butterfly flies up and flies into the forest. He followes it. He does not go for long, he clung to the root of the tree with his foot and begins to fall head down through a narrow dip.
The fall is not too fast, downhill, he is trying to slow down, clinging to the wall, but cannot help it. He manages to roll his head up, clinging to a root, but it broke off and he falls down completely.
Arcane 12 Suspended and the 13 Death.
He fell out with a bunch of leaves and debris in a small cave, safe and sound. He stands up, gets shook, goes out and looks around.
He finds himself in a dense forest. It is a mystic place. He walks for a long time in the forest, tall pines, thick soft moss. He sees is the rock ahead, a stream flows nearby, and in a rock – a cave and in it - light spark. Swan cautiously approaches to the light and looks inside the cave.
He sees the man who bends over the book. This is Finn. A big fluffy cat is sitting next to him. And it looks like it is reading too. The book itself – is not the book, more like birch leaves, with signs.
Swan comes closer and sideways trying to see the human face. Finn sits motionless. Cat sees Swan, gets up and stretches lifts its tail. Suddenly, from behind exactly the same person appears. Swan turns around and sees with horror those two are identical. Moreover, from the depths of the cave comes the third one.
Finn -
“How did you get here, fellow?”
All three look at him and Swan doesn't understand, at whom he should look, he is in extreme confusion. All three Finns start to laugh loudly. Swan sees that nothing terrible happens also smiles.
Finn is a man, 40-45 years old. He has a silver-white hair of medium length, a small beard, and mustaches of the same color. He is dressed in white linen, without patterns, a shirt. He wears leather sandals with garters to a knee, as the Chinese masters of the martial art. He moves easily, he is flexible.
One of Finns who came from the depth of the cave goes to another and touches him as if he absorbs, the same with the second. He does it as if in passing, as usual, without any effort.
“How did you get here?” - Finn repeated his question.
Swan -
“I do not know… I walked, stumbled and fell.”
Finn -
“Really? It is not so easy to fell in here…”
Swan -
“Where am I?”
Finn -
“Where you should be, I guess. Each person occupies the place he deserves.” - All of it is not clear for Swan.
«Well, what’s new in your world? - Finn asks. - However, don't tell me, I can see all myself. Look at me!”
Finn stares straight into the eyes of Swan and his merry mood is change, he grows dark.
“So, - relegating the last glance he says, - the High Priest found a husband for the Black Widow … Yes, dark times approaching, fierce times…”
Swan -
“But who are you? “
Finn -
“The Finn. It means – the wizard, the magician.”
Swan -
“Make me the wizard!”
The Finn has again burst out laughing –
“He wants to become a wizard! You don’t become a wizard; you have to be born as a wizard. And to be born as a wizard, you must first live many lives. However, if you are here maybe you will fit. - Are you hungry? Here, eat!“
The Finn puts a wooden bowl with a soupin front of Swan. Swan starts eating greedily.
When Swan is satisfied and puts down the bowl, Finn says -
“Well, let’s see whether you suit in magicians.”
They climb the cliff. It is a rock that ends with a narrow precipice. A bottom is not visible. The Finn approaches the edge, stand with his back to the abyss so that the heels are hanging. Swan in horror falls on his stomach and all is white and covered with clammy sweat. Finn also makes “one leg stand”.
Finn -
“Can you repeat that? “
Finn moves a bit further from the edge and lets Swan go ahead.
Swan with shivering hands and feet has crept up to the edge, has glanced downwards – there is no abyss. But, having overcome himself begins to straighten. And just when almost straighten up, suddenly wobbles and begins to fall. Finn dartes and seizes his hand at the last moment. He is hanging for a while.
Finn -
“Do you see there cloudberry grows?” -
Finn from above cheerfully speaks.
Swan swung, looked at the rock – actually a small shrub with red berries has somehow grown at this altitude!
Finn -
“Try it! Eat it!”
Swan grabbes a berry with his mouth and eat it.
Finn -
“Is it tasty?”
“Mmm" – Swan could only to moo in response.
Finn -
“Catch the moment!. Always live here and now. If you catch the moment, you will live eternally” - and Finn easily pulles him out upward.
Finn -
“Well, do you still want to become the magician?”
«Yes!» - Swan firmly answers.
After the endured fear, rescue and taste of a berry, he has a full catharsis.
Finn -
«And all this is the easiest».
Further training begins. This is a series of the small episodes, taken about same style and tempo as training by Beatrix in a movie "Kill Bill 2".
They both are on the river bank.
“So what is this world like where we are?” - Asked Swan.
Finn -
“Once upon a time the magicians have discovered that the world of dreams can be just as real as the manifested world. But the world was unstable and decayed, and each time had to be done again. And then magicians have agreed and have decided to unite efforts and have created here this collective world of a dream.
“So… We are in a dream?” – with astonishment asked Swan.
Finn -
“No, now this world same real as manifested, but it took 100 thousand years of continuous efforts of the generation of magicians. Now here every blade of grass, every insect lives its own life. And here you can also die if fall into the abyss.”
Finn smiles …
“In your world, almost no one knows about this world, and we know everything about your world.”
Swan -
“And where are the others?”
Finn -
“Here and there, doing something, each is busy with their own affairs, there is a lot of space here, enough for everyone, the Universe is infinite …Sometimes we meet when it is necessary to gather the Council.”
Swan -
“And who is the Chief among you? “
Finn -
“Which tree is the main in this forest? “
Swan -
“I do not know, probably – none.”
Finn -
“And we do not have a ñhief. There is no chief in the Universe in general and no supervisor chief.”
Swan -
“And are all of the magicians male?”
Finn -
“Why? There are also women, about half. We are not monks, like those in your black clothes.
For us to make Love is a science and art, so women also here.”
Swan -
“And how do they get here?”
Finn -
“You came here when stumbled, but you wouldn't get here if you pierced spear of the mother-bear your. Your Mother sent you here.”
The next episode.
Swan -
“So, how to made twins?”
Finn -
“Easily!”
He is concentrating, sharply claps on the palms, quickly rubs them and begins to trace the palms of his body from head to toe.
After 2-3 circles a new bluish body begins to grown, when it comes solid, Finn simply stepps forward, and they become two. After a few moments, there are three Finns.
You see how easy these twins can be made. But it is necessary to absorb all of them after.
It is not so difficult to create a twin. It is important to learn so that your mind could be in any of them or in all of them at once.
This is called –
“To take out a sword from a stone, if you will learn to do it, you will be invulnerable. Where am I now?» - Finn has quickly asked.
Swan hesitantly points to one of them.
“Try to pierce” - the Finn has offered.
Swan has pierced the Finn into a breast, his hand passed through a Double. Swan with uncertainty poked another one – with the same result. He, with excitement, begins to poke all twins, but with no result. Finally, Finn gathered all three in one and Swan confidently walks to it and pokes. And again his hand falls into the emptiness!
There is laughter from behind. Finn sits on the cut tree and laughes at him.
Finn -
“I have been sitting here for a long time and watch you. Well, did you understand something?”
Swan hesitantly shakes his head.
Finn -
“Well, then try! “
The next episode.
Both of them go through the woods. Finn, passing, pickes up a long stick with his foot and is in his hands it immediately turnes into a formidable weapon, a staff. He makes some spectacular moves with his stick, and then just droppes it.
Finn -
“The world in which we live – is dangerous and consequently, it is necessary to be always armed. All weapon you need to carry with you …Someone will catch you, when you in a bath washing and you will have nothing to defend yourself…” - Finn has grinned.
“But you also don’t have any weapon” – askes Swan.
Finn -
“How come I do not have it? And what about this one?”
And Finn from behind through the head takes a real Catana.
Swan with amazement:
“How did you do it?”
Finn lovingly holds the sword in his hands -
“Beautiful, huh? We came up with it. A method of long tests and errors. It is perfect … Someday, thousands of years later they will learn to do such swords in your world too. On one island...”
He makes a few movements with the sword and throws it back in its sheath on his back and the sword disappears.
They move on. After a brief silence.
Finn -
“Everything in this world is matter and energy simultaneously. The Living, nonliving. Your consciousness – too both a materia and energy at he same time. But you have also the will, and therefore you can just create all, that is in your mind. It is necessary just to want it strongly and do not think about anything else. In your world they forgot how to do it; they decided it is easier to do everything with hands. But what is made by hands, it then doesn't disappear anywhere. And it all – is dead. And what is created by mind – is live, magical.
Come on, try.”
Swan -
“And what should I do?”
Finn -
“Imagine a sword in your hands, or even better, think that if it won't appear now, the enemy will cut you into pieces.”
Swan gathered his hands, as though he holds the handle of the sword, closed his eyes, tensed. In his hand a sheaf of long grass appeares instead of the sword. Finn easily waves his hand with a knife and cuts this sheaf.
Finn -
“For the first time – not bad.”
Swan surprisingly looks at the rest of a bunch of a grass in his hands.
“For the thousandth time, you will do it!” - Finn encourages.
The next episode.
Swan early in the morning is comes to the lake. There is a perfectly smooth surface on the lake. He looks directly ata Finn on water smooth surface there is a and rotating the energy balls that emit a small buzz. When finishes, Finn has incorporates these balls in oneself and walkes on water to the shore. He sees Swan.
"Take a walk!" - the Finn offers.
Swan approaches on a planked footway to water and puts a foot on water – it is naturally – plunges.
Finn -
“Imagine that you are a feather, a water skippers” - Instructs Finn.
Swan is concentrated, in the head creates the image of feathers, carried by the wind and takes a step into the water. The water holds him! He makes even one step further and falls into the water till his chest. Finn goes to him and he is smiling, looking down.
Finn -
“Do you know why I am dry, and you are wet? “
Swan -
“Why?”
Finn -
“Because, my mind is as a sword, as a stone, as an arrow – sharp, silent and unidirectional. And your mind is as a sparrow – all time skips from place to place and continuously chirps.”
Next short episodes.
Swan sits in Padmasana in a cave and continuously looks at the flower image on a wall. Sparring of Swan and Finn on staffs, on swords. After that Swan licks his wounds, covering with their medical leaves. Swan runs up from shore and runs along the surface of the lake, each time farther and farther, but still all the time plunges into the water.
Finally, he stands on the water. He climbs to the very rock that stands on the edge, on one leg, hands in Namaste and closes his eyes in meditation. He is about 13-14 years old. He transformes and now he is already 18-20 years old – he still stands on the rock. He opens his eyes. There are confidence and strength in his eyes.
An episode of the mystical sex of Finn with Diana. Swan (now adult) and the Finn on a field are engaged in something like an aikido. All movements are light and elegant. At the edge of the field a young woman of dazzling beauty comes and looks at them. She wears a short skirt-tunic, her breast is bared, hair is loose, a wreath of flowers is on her head, and she wears sandals on her feet, like Greek women with garters to her knees.
Finn and Swan see her and stop.
Finn –
“What a guest we have! Let me introduce you. This is Diana.”
Diana -
“So, this is your Pupil?” - she asks, bypassing Swan around and examining him. He sees a woman for the first time of this period and he is in confusion.
“Yes, he was brought here by the wind, I could not expel the poor fellow” - Finn answers.
“He is handsome” – She states – “Leave him along for now - she says almost imperiously, - "let him work out himself.”
She takes Finn into the wood, giving Swan a smile at parting. Swan is alone and doesn’t know what to do. He gets or rather creates a sword, turns it over in his hands and pushes it back, it disappears. The beauty of Diana has amazed him.
And he decides to go after them. He quietly slips between the trees down. Enters the open space and sees them. Finn and Diana stand on a rock, in the sky, holding hands. Diana stands to the right. Finn wears a short Greek tunic. They together begin to fall into the abyss. Swan looks with horror at this. But, having flown more than a half, they soar up and freeze embraced in the air in the middle of the gorge.
Either dancing or sex begins. They reel, fly, intertwine again, faster and faster, all the frenetic… Then, arm in arm, begin to descend slowly and sit in Padmasana on a smooth surface of a mountain lake. The lake slightly starts to wave. Diana shakes in the arms of Finn, the waves diverge around the lake. On the surface of the lake pink and white lotuses are beginning to blossom. A flash of light. Blackout.
The Finn and Swan sit on the bank of a small mountain river. The small river and waterfall go into a cave. The Finn says thoughtfully -
“Everything you have done so far is a toy. And this is a real test…To become a Magician and Immortal it is necessary to pass the Lower Black Waters. We, all who are there – passed through them. Although many, who have entered – could not come back … Once upon a time, all the magicians were united. But there were those who did not want to go to the Black Waters – afraid of losing their precious Personality. And that it is very simple there…
Then, between us, there was a split. Those who did not go the Black Waters left. And they went the other way. They began to subjugate the people in different ways to prolong their existence through other people’s lives. The current High Priest – is one of them. They do not have enough of their own power, so they look for reinforcements on the side. That is why he betrothed us to the Black Widow.”
Swan -
“And why is she called the Black Widow?”
Finn -
“She is named like this because she eats all of her husbands…But it is not the time to talk about it. When you will go to the Lower Water – it is important - do not turn around…
Look only inside yourself.”
Swan -
“Why I should not turn around? “
“If you turn around, you will become a stone” - Finn said in a grave voice... and smiled.
He continued seriously – "If you turn around - will remain in that life, forget what you were, where you're going. You - the present one - will disappear, but a new person will appear who will not remember anything. And if you will not remember anything, you will fall into the web of murderers, if the Soul is taken away from you, then without the Soul, you will go into the ground and become a stone."
Swan -
“Maybe later?”
Finn -
“It is necessary to do it now! You need to do it when you have lots of strength. When you will become old, you cannot do it for sure.”
Swan -
“And for how long should I go?”
Finn -
“This small river runs into that lake, - the Finn points a lake in a valley - if you do everything correctly, you will come up there.”
Finn gives him the coil of rope.
“You cannot pass the fiery river without it. Make it wet first.”
Swan dippes a rope into the river, puts on his shoulder.
Swan getst up, lookes around as if saying goodbye to this world.
“I am ready.”
They come to the edge.
“We will not say goodbye” – admonishes Finn.. - “Go!”
Finn pushes him into darkness, and Swan enteres the cave, turnes around and sees in daylight the figure of Finn. He went down the rocks for a long time. The cave widened, and he saw a continuous river of lava that crosses his path. He walks to the edge. There is intolerable heat from the lava. He goes a little higher and lookes out – what to throw his lasso on.
He finds a suitable, the vertically standing stone on the shore, takes aim and throws. He misses! He quickly begins to pull the rope. It has already caught fire. He has to cut the burning piece and it becomes shorter. He throws it one more time – again, the rope slippes into the lava and a part evaporates. He cuts again the burned piece out. He throws the rope for the third time and successfully. He pulles the rope and attaches it to this shore.
He tries pulling it and crawls – there is no time for procrastination. It has already begun to soar. He crawls along the rope, the lava below is burning him so much that the shirt begins to smolder too. He works with his hands at a furious pace and finally jumps on another bank. And just at the same time the rope breaks, in just some seconds it begins to burn down the ends on both sides. He passes the fire.
He goes further into the cave and soon reaches an underground river. He goes into the water and swims.
He, along with a stream of water emerges in the bustling small lake, but only for a few moments, because the water has gone into an underground cave. He grabbes more air in his lungs and dives. And now he is swimming underwater in a cave. Some animals lit his path. But swim is still very far away. He swims vigorously, but the tunnel has not yet ended. He has no strength, there is not enough air.
He makes a few sharp jerks and sees a faint light at the top. He comes up in an underground cave. He has passed the Water.
Everything in a sort of fog, but it is poorly lit. He swims forward slowly, and the stream becomes quieter. The water is like oil. He walks knee-deep in the water. Here is silence. Only a sound of drops of water can be heard. He walks for a long time. He sees an arch ahead. The stream goes to it. He enters the arch.
It becomes absolutely dark but then there is a light in front of him. He goes to the light and sees a wall of arch becomesthe reddish, the color of red copper. He comes to the light and then next to him faces of people, some landscapes begin to flicker, things change very quickly. But he firmly looks forward. There is one more arch ahead.
He enters it and again darkness. Once again light. Again he can see faces in a flas light. Again the arch over the darkness. And so it is repeates several times. He has already lost count. This are the copper pipes. Movements begin to slow down and when he enteres a new life, he begins to see the surroundings more clearly and in detail.
This is a reincarnation in the esoteric sense. We see several reincarnations, about 5-6 times. Different times, different countries.
First he sees of a woman’s face by the side, so it is mother, then the man’s face – a father, then some houses, fields, river, some people, the slashing soldiers on horses. And suddenly he sees a woman of extraordinary beauty. When she begins to pass him, he can not stop looking at her and turnes to follow her, and he is immediately thrown out into this life.
He is already 25 years old, but his role plays the same actor. He has a different hair color, and in general a lot has changed in appearance. He stands on the shore of the lake, but it is a different lake. He is in good mood. He is screaming “– Oh-oh-oh!” And echo answeres him. He screams again, and then he begins to sing. The song is lyrical, long, but without sadness and tragedy. He sings for some time.
Suddenly he sees a floating swan on the surface of the lake. It swims directly to the shore, slowly, but getting closer and closer. He continues singing. It takes wings, flies to the shore and suddenly turnes into a beautiful girl. But now she is a little older, her dress is more riches than before, lots of jewelry.
He stoppes singing, approaches her and takes her hand, looking into her eyes. And she looks at him, straight in the eyes, and they express only one – “Wont you hurt my feelings?”
He hugs her – “My soul!” – And she clung to his chest and occasionally glancing at him with the same mute question.
He takes her hand and they are happily running through the woods to the village. North Slavic village 16-17 centuries. He enters the village through the gate on which the cross is established. The village is dirty, so he picks her up. But no one sees her. It is the soul. He brings her into the house.
The house is prosperous, wooden, two-storied. He takes her in the room and puts on her feet. They embrace. She leaned again against his chest. It is getting dark. He starts to light lamps and candles. He is orthodox now. When he lights a lamp in the corner, there is lit formidable face of God the Father on the icon.
He again approaches her, huggs her, but something prevents him – that terrible look!
He decides to curtain the icon according to Russian custom. As soon he approach, the wind blows, a dark fog appeares, there comes total darkness.
Suddenly…
The thunder bursts, light flashes in a fog,
The icon lamp dies away, the smoke runs,
All around in dusk, all shivers,
Swan’s soul is shivering ...
All ceases. In terrible silence
The voice strange is distributed twice,
And someone in smoky depth
Rises blacker han foggy haze...
And again everything becomes is empty and silent;
(The poetic lines are not pronounced here and further. This is an illustration of the atmosphere of this episode.)
He lights the fire, the candles, but she is not there. He begins to call and scream, but she is nowhere. He runs out to the street, looks for her, frightening overdue passers-by – they think he is mad. They run away from him. He is running outside the village in the field. Falls to the ground and sobs.
He comes to himself on the night and when it dawsn, he is at the same lake. He became thin, blackened, somehow became stooped. He goes to the lake and begins to sing, but the sounds are not the same. His voice is hoarse, it breaks. And nothing happens around – only a couple of startled ducks. Frogs croak, and the silence.
He is in despair again falls to the ground near the shore. He has no strength to cry. And he just scooped up some water and washed his face. The water smothered out, and he looked at his reflection. And suddenly, through reflection, he sees the Swan’s features! He sees sometimes the image of present Swan, and another time the image of the Swan he had lost.
He begins to remember something! And suddenly sees floating small water snake. He swims to the right of him. Having removed all clothes, he enters the water and begins to swim after the small water snake. Morning fog shrouds him, but he does not lose sight of him. The small water snake begins to swim faster; he tries to catch up with it. Suddenly near another shore, the small water snake dives and disappears into the water.
He reach that place, has roams, then takes a deep breath and dives. In the depth, he sees a cave under the water. He inspects it, but it is necessary to come up. He emerges from the water, recoveres his breathing, grabbes more air, and dives again and swam to the cave, lookes deep into it – nothing can be seen, dark and muddy. He decides to swim further inside.
It is getting darker and darker. Finally, it is complete darkness. He feels scared to swim further because it would be difficult to come back. And he doesn’t have enough air to breathe. He stoppes for a moment. He thinks about returning back. But then – a man dies only once – and frantically begins to row ahead.
Suddenly he sees a light in front of him, he startes to swim with doubled force. He gets out of the cave and sees the light at the top, and with the last strength, he emerges from the water. He is at the same lake which Finn mentioned! It is very difficult and he is exhausted, the swims to the shore and crawls on the sand.
He is resting for some minutes. And he is having an attack of happy laughter. This salvation and the realization that he is back! Suddenly he sees in front familiar leather shoes. He raises his head, Finn stands in front of him.
“You did not return for a long time!” - Finn speaks.
Swan happily -
“Finn!!!!”
“Do you know how much time has passed since the moment we parted?” - Finn askes almost accusingly.
“No…” – Swan answers.
Finn -
“Twelve thousand of your Earth years.”
“And you have not changed” - Swan smiles and gets up. He gets up and they hug.
Finn -
“I am glad, that you are back. It was not for nothing to waste so much time to teach you ...”
After some time they sit again on the bank of the river. Finn is thoughtful.
Swan is already has recovered. He is calm and focused.
Finn -
“Do you know who has stolen your Soul?” - He paused – “You are not the only one, whose soul was stolen.”
Finn begins the story -
“The Black Widow appointed here her new Vicar. Let’s name him “The Beardie”. He is a ferocious bastard. He reaps where he does not sow. I don’t know where she found him, in which cosmic terrarium, but he started over zeal…”
Swan -
“Is he a snake? A Dragon?”
Finn –
“He is the king of the Beardeds. We call them that because they eat by dint of their beards. Their beard is not made of hair, but like guts out, tentacles, suckers. But here, on Earth, he incarnated into a human, so almost no one can guess who he really is.
He came here with a gang of these Creatures and even here has created a legion of golems to promote his interests. The High Priest now serves The Beardie. Today The Beardie for them is as God.
People under his direction, die like flies, but he doesn’t care – a flow of souls is abundant. And in the West, the Black Widow has set another sly fellow – he trades the Kingdom of Heaven. Here they also started to fight each other … So many people were killed!”
“And you sit here and quietly watch all of this…”- Swan said with bitterness.
Finn’s face grew stern -
“There is no punishment without crime! Those who currently suffer, they are descendants of those who killed the White Queen and renounced their Great Mother. The one, who sowed the wind, will reap the storm. Never betray the Mother, who gave birth to you. For any promises, nor for any pleasure, any kingdom of heaven, even for immortality.”
They sit quietly.
Swan jumpes up, begins to walk around -
“Well, something must be done!”
Finn -
“Yes, we need to hurry, your Soul is still alive, but for not for a long time. The Beardie cannot take her, do you know why?”
Swan lookes at Finn.
Finn -
“He is castrated. Our boys castrated him when they toppled him from the throne of Egypt, which he captured killing king Osiris!”
Finn laughes…
Then he speaks again very seriously -
“But he can eat her, it is simple for him, he has there a whole camarilla of parasites” - Finn pauses… “But you do not hesitate. The Starry Wheel of Time will make a turn and all, who got in on this carousel – everyone should get into its millstones.”
Palace of The Beardie.
First, we see the tower of the High Priest, but now it has grown to heavens and its top disappears behind clouds. The video camera promptly raises up toward the top. Approximately as shown in the palace of the king in the movie “Stardust”.
There is a huge hall in the tower. It is throne-room of The Beardie. He reclines on the Throne – under a canopy bed. The overall impression of the room is a gloomy luxury. On the top of the hall are the outlets on each of them – flaming red Pentagram and the Sickle and Hammer, as on the emblem of the USSR.
Brocade fabrics are verywhere;
Gems play, as heat;
Golden censer are around
Give fragrant steam;
The Beardie is a bald, short, hunchbacked freak with a long black beard. His beard is long hoses, tentacles covered with long gray hair. He is not a human. He is a Beardie. He has a skin of darker color, swarthy.
He is at the moment without a cap, he is bald. He wears a wealthy suit but casually dressed. There are some of his “negro” knelt by his bed. They wear different clothes of priests.They are priests of the orthodox church and Muslim muftis.
Option. In the crowd of people, we see a man who looks like Stalin in a military jacket. Why is Stalin here? Because his pseudonym - "Stalin" means - "St - al" - "Seth - Almighty."
One of the servants is currently just humbly combs the beard of the Beardie which lies as a wave on a cushion. The bone comb is shown in close up. It is obviously made of human bones. Despite the fact that the situation is relaxed, he looks at his servants with evil, suspicion, and contempt. And sometimes he doesn't look at them at all, despising them all. A magnificent dinner is served for him.
He is served on a platter of a human baby, who is even still alive. One of his tentacles sucked to his body and in three doses with a powerful squelch sucks out all the flesh so that from the baby there is only an empty shell left.
When he finishes eating, he lazily waves his hand, and dishes are put on another table and all employees are pushing each other and taking pieces, begin to eat food with greed. He looks at all this pushing even more contemptuously.
Suddenly there a noise is heard and a Dragon is coming into the tower. He noisily flies in the hall.
This is a black Dragon with iron scales and when it moves, you hear the sound of metal. All servants recoiled in fear. The Beardie is scared too but tries not to show it. He puts on his cap with an inverted red pentagram. The Dragon three times turnes left and turnes into a dark knight in which the Knights Templar is recognized, but it is not so obvious. She has a picture of the two-headed eagle with a crown on his armor.
The Knight –
“Hail, a dear colleague whom we honore for a long time!”
The Beardie discreetly nodded.
The Knight –
“Let’s leave our feuds, brother, they only disturb our common business!”
The Beardie -
“It was not me, it was you, who first have violated the terms of our Agreement.”
The Beardie pickes up his beard, slid sideways off the bed and walked to the knight. They walk together along the gallery. The Beardie is much lower than the knight, but he lifts his chin, and it makes him look taller.
The Knight –
“You are ruling here alone, and we have lots of faction with their own interests, so there are differences.”
“What brought you to me, respectable Knight?” - Soothingly asks the Beardie.
The Knight –
“On Earth, among the aborigines no one left that can provide us with resistance, but there is Finn with his team, they are out of reach, and we cannot get them and destroy. “
The Beardie nervously shakes his beard.
The Knight –
“You are in danger. Finn is a strong and artful enemy. He prepares a trap for you.”
The Beardie, obviously summoning up courage –
“I am not afraid of dark intrigues. The Beardie is blessed with this fertile beard. Till a hostile sword does not cut this grey hair beard, none of the dashing heroes, no mortal would ruin the least of my intentions!”
The Knight with grin -
“Have you learned this eastern florid style of speaking when you were the Tsar in Egypt?”
The Beardie throws a displeased look at the Knight, she is continuing…
“It is tough times, the Black Widow demands more and more of material. And during the change of the space epoch, everything is so uncertain and shaky. We must stay together in power on this pathetic planet and eliminate all our opponents.”
The Beardie -
“For me our union is precious. We shame the treachery of Finn.”
And he gave his hand to the Knight. Then the Knight approaches a window, jumps and hurriedly turns to the Dragon and departs on the West, to a sunset. Blackout.
