EVE Fiction

They came in giant spaceships, destroying our grain fields and covering us in dust. They were without fear. And they were bold. They dared to be bold.

- Hello, good people, how are you doing here?
These were the first words spoken by a demigod. What is a demigod, you would ask? Well, it is a god and a human simultaneously. It has a body and a mind. But it is neither god, nor human. I hope I am putting this clear enough. Demigods control giant vessels, that possess the ability to roam the heavens. They call these vessels "spaceships". Well, ships, we have those too, but what is this "space", we do not fully understand. I suppose, it is a demigod name for heavens.
Let me now tell you about our first meeting with the demigods and how it ended.

- Hello, good people, how are you doing here?
- And… silence is our answer. Are you sure the translator works, Forlon?
These were the words of a second demigod. We were frightened at first and did not want to speak with them. But they remained and continued to ask questions.
- What is your planet called? What system is this? Our ships sensors malfunctioned when we got through a wormhole and we can't use local stargates for some reason.
The demigod who was talking so much, was tall, dark-haired and dressed silly. He had a long black robe, that covered all his body and a hood. The second one was dressed in some sort of very unusual leathers. But what animal did he kill for these leathers, I do not know.His face was grim and his look dreadful.
- I am sorry, good people, do you understand us?
- Do you bring us harm, man from the sky? - these were the first words, spoken to a demigod. And I am proud to say that it was me, Harran al'Rassad, the one to be given such honor.
- No harm. We do not mean harm. We need information.
- We do not have this "imfornation" of yours. We cannot give it to you. But we have women. And a lot of cows. Do you want cows?
- No, no! Keep the women and the cows. Ah… How about this - I will ask and you will answer? Alright?
- And what about the grim man from the sky?
- Oh, you mean Dalek here? - the tall demigod smiled,- He's more of a shoot-and-hit-and-then-shoot-again type of guy, he's my friend.
- The grim man from the sky frightens us.
Dalek apparently understood the situation and returned to the ship, looking even more grim than always.
- So, let us begin, I presume. My name is Forlon Jiann, I am a capsu… I came from the sky. What is your name, good man?
- They call me Harran al'Rassad.
- Harran, ok. That's a good name. So, what is this planet called?
- "Planet"?
- Ahm… World, what is the name of your world?
- The Great God Osaan created the world. Thus the world is named Osaanar. In the ancient language it means "The world of Osaan". Are you his servants?
- Well, actually, no. We are not his servants. We came from the sky, as you, undoubtedly, saw. But we are free men.
- But you must be the servants of Osaan, only he can grant the power to roam the skies. You should leave. Osaan will punish us.
- Ok, no more about Osaan, alright? You, obviously, cannot help us. Harran, me and my friend here will leave now. We do not mean harm, so we will just let you live your lives. Alright?
- Do not tell other servants of Osaan about us. The Osaanar is big and we are few. We fear them and we do not want them to find us.
- Ah, yeah, yeah. We won't tell them.
- Roam the skies safe, servants Forlon Jiann and your grim friend Dalek. We wish you well.

And then they left. Their vessels roared and screamed and crazed when entering the skies. And then there was no sign of them. This is why I write this story down on a piece of paper so our children and the children of our children will know about the first meeting with demigods.
