Chapter 1

Valdma 17, The year of Sambol 80, Third large mark

In the King’s personal library, I found translated records of the Weyound. As far as I know, there has never been a translation of any of the metal tablets we found. According to the translator, this tablet was found at the Weyound Stones in the Kingdom of Biok. The translator said he finished on Khyrisan 2, The year of Two Kings 64. That was two-hundred and seventy - years ago. I don’t understand why this was hidden from us. In any case, I am including the translation in the Chronicle.

Tablet 63

The Beginning and End of Civilization

Twenty-six thousand years in the past, Vonna was the home of a one world civilization. It was comprised of four peoples - The Roka, The Dahlein, The Subhan, and The Tarlon. We had long since mastered flight and nuclear energy. Quantum physics were the most elementary tributary of the Great River taught. To pass to the Matrix of Learning such basic teaching had to be left in the dust. Children who could not grasp them were euthanized. They were sub-standard and unworthy to procreate.

The best of those drawn to violence were sent to the southern most continent. They given a much lower standard of civilization. The teaching of the tributaries was forbidden them. To teach any of the Great River to them justified death.

Every twenty-five years we bred the best of them. We integrated the smartest of the grandchildren of these unions back into society. Those of the southern most continent thought us demons and gods. They thought we demanded them to sacrifice to us. They had seen us taking the small toddlers back to civilization. So they thought sacrificing their children was what we wanted. The barbarians.

For the rest of Vonna, there was peace and plenty. We had begun eco-forming and colonization of the planets in our system and others. In all our wandering, we had found we were alone.

Due to our arm of the galaxy’s movement. We came to the periphery of a great comet. Asteroids from the comet pummeled Vonna. Many of our cities and people were destroyed. We were incapable to protect ourselves due to radiation from the comet. It interfered with our planetary defenses. Afterwords, We began to restore and repair our civilization. One hundred years later, we were pummeled again by the comet. This time as we entered the thick of a minor ice age. The Vonna as a civilization died. The survivors sent out teachers to rebuild again but the Great Stream was lost. We were no more.

I Kheok Nor am the last survivor of The Vonna Dahlein. I place this record in the hopes the Vonna are never forgotten.

According to the Royal library, Our civilization began nine-thousand years ago. This was as the ice left. That means The Vonna existed about thirty-five thousand years ago. Since the knowledge was hid from us, I dare not mention it. The senior Scribe will read of it when this chronicle enters the Royal library at my death.
