“Do you remember him?” asked Armechius.
“Yes, I remember him. According to the record, he was sentenced to earth. It must have been six, maybe seven, millennium zones ago. He was banished from here, to that place we call ‘the earth world’. They still tell the story of his thunderous arrival. His appearance was sudden, ’a bright star streaking across the heavens,’ they say.
“To the earthlings, it was apparent he came from far away. Some ancients of that world said he came from the little blue star not far from dog star, Sirius, the bright star. But we know he came from our world, the world of Zodiaha.
“The Ancient Ones, the TaNawShaw from earth world, carved his name in the rocks near the old canyon not far from ‘The Valley of the Gods.’ You know the place. The story of his thunderous earth arrival is still told here on Zodiaha. And also, his inspiring story is written upon the stars.
“The ancient earth ones say his chariot of fire slowly circled, then rapidly descended from the heavens—burning trees, overwhelming men, and cattle. They say it landed not far from God’s place, near ‘The Valley of the Gods.’
“It is said. ‘When that man stepped from his shiny craft, his radiating countenance was brighter than a thousand suns. White doves circled his head. His piercing eyes turned night into day. He walked the earth, healed the sick. He reprimanded demons and harmful spirits. He comforted many, showing them the right path to redemption. Thousands traveled from afar to hear him speak. He walked freely among people. He forgave all and judged no soul. Some say he was a God. Others say he was the Son of God.
“Today, nobody on earth knows if he was the promised one. The one who said he would someday return. Thousands of earth years have passed. That question is still open for debate. It remains a mystery on earth and too here on Zodiaha.
“Yes, I remember him, Armechius. He was a good friend. I could never figure out why the council sent him down to that wicked earth. He was doing such good work here on Zodiaha and Epicurius. Why they sent him down there to that dreaded ‘earth place’ is beyond me?
“The last time I saw him was when I visited earth a few cycles ago. I was walking along a dirt road when I passed a nearby hill. I saw him and two other fellows hanging from a wooden cross. I cautiously walked by.
“Suddenly, a violent storm came from the East. The wind and lightning were fierce, the thunder deafening. I looked away. In fear, I started to run. I ran as I had never run before. I never looked back.
I have often wondered what happened to them. Why they were put to death on that hill? For me, here on Zodiaha, and from my days walking on earth, It is still a haunting mystery.
