The Three Books of Satu-Ra (The Books of Satu-Ra Book 1)
I have a story to tell. It is a story that may change your world. It is a story I now know must be told if the Earth and the human race are to survive.
First, I must tell of the past. Of a time before your "history" on earth. Far away in the depths of space there was a great race beyond your ability to imagine. Their name would mean nothing to you, so I will just call them the First Ones. Their great glory existed before the time of the sun you call Sol. Those who lived then were advanced to the limits of carbon-based life, and perhaps to some degree beyond. If you were to meet one of these First Ones, you might have thought him a god. Yet they were mortal. They could die... but never a natural death.
For countless ages they advanced through time and space. They spanned solar systems across half the universe.
Then they found the darkness! A vast void in space. A void that swallowed entire star systems. And the darkness was spreading!
At first it was a rumor. Something spoken of in whispers. Then an awareness spread. The First Ones were dying.
As often happens in time of strife, things got worse. The First Ones began to fall into madness. The madness spread like a plague. For beings of such perfection, it was a horrible fate. These beings could use their entire mind. Not the small bit that humans use. They could use these powers to realign matter and fold space. As their minds began to falter they began to lose their powers. They were doomed.
Knowing the madness was spread like a plague, the First Ones stopped all transport between the stars. Soon some planets slipped into madness while others did not. The madness could be stopped. Once a planet was exposed it was off limits. There was no need for a blockade. The inhabitants of the planet would finish out their lives on the planet they were on. Trapped forever on a forbidden planet.
Generations came and went. The madness became part of the civilizations. Over the eons, the original infected First Ones died on their planets. The new generations had very shortened life spans and the use of their minds dropped well below 10%. The disease brought madness, war and destruction. On world after world the descendants of the First Ones that were exposed entered a living hell far from the Eden their forefathers shared. Legends were born.
The Earth is one of these planets. Now begins the other half of this story. The First Ones that were not infected had a problem. An advanced loving race couldn't just leave 20 percent of their people and their descendants to fall into madness. A planet of violent madmen that would carry a plague if allowed to escape. The planets were quarantined... yet protected. Protected by special Guardians.
These "Guardians" were created specifically for this purpose. They were immune to the madness. The Guardians swear to defend the planets that the descendants of the infected First Ones live on. They have limits, but they have great power. They look, talk and act just like any other person on Earth, but they are wardens in the asylum.
My real name is Satu-Ra, but I am now known by the name John Bridges. I am a Guardian. I was created to be a Guardian. It is my purpose. I have lived on Earth for many centuries. The people of Earth are all insane with a form of Rabies-like virus. You all seem to be intent on killing each other, and yet I love every one of you.
There is so much more to tell, but for now I believe you know enough that I can start to tell you my story. These are my personal log books. I hope you find them "Entertaining" enough to want to come back for more. This is the first book in a four book series.
