New Earth -- Part 3

The First part of the Story is Here

After  a couple of minutes, my team mates and I, entered into a big round shape hall that had a high dome shape ceiling. I saw some men and women sitting in three blocks of desks; I also saw Aditi sitting on a higher chair which was placed behind the second block of seats.

Vasumitra escorted us to the guest chairs and when we all sat comfortably, I heard this voice,

“Sasha, we would like to know the purpose of your expedition and also about the present condition of Earth. It has been a long time since we have sent any team to the Earth.”

I was a little surprised, what does it means?  We don’t know anything about Devbhoomi, but these people are not ignorant about their motherland. However, I was more worried about our own problem. So I started speaking...

“Earth is facing the most crucial crisis of its life. Environment has become poisonous and it is not breathable anymore. Our natural resources has came to an end; minerals, fertility of soil and most important WATER have become the costliest thing on our planet. Our population has decreased not only because of global warming, etc., but due to those bloody wars, which took place for resources and water. Earth would not be able to support the human life for more than a couple of decade. Therefore, we have started shifting the population to Moon and to other space colonies established on Mars. However, they are … my words remained incomplete and somebody interrupted.

“What exactly do you want from Devbhoomi?”

“We need New Home for us. A home that has Water and a climate where humans can breathe easily. Devbhoomi is a suitable option we have found so far in our search of various planets.”

“Do you understand the meaning of your words? Why we will allow you to live here?”

“If yours have been a different civilization then I might have doubts too, but you are also humans and one of the early habitants of Earth, it’s your motherland and in present circumstances it needs your help.” My voice got shrilled while speaking the last words.

After a little silence, an elderly man spoke, “we are well aware of what is going on Earth and the Root Causes of it. It is the greed of man that will never get satisfied.”

“Here, in Devbhoomi, we have created a new society, a new way of life; we have learnt to live under the Limits of Man and according to the Expectations of Nature. If we allowed you to live here, soon you will pollute our motherland as well. And this is the thing that we will never tolerate.” There was anger in his words. 

The meeting got dissolved and we came back to guest rooms.

“What are those rock cur shelters that we saw at the mountain water fall?”

“We call them recreation chamber and the containers you have seen are used to keep our bodies inside them. They have an important role in our society. Each one of us have to spend fifteen days at every six months into these chambers.”

“As you have seen the teleportation skill of us; it is not a miracle and even the advance technology has a little to do with that. It is the result of extra ordinary physical, mental and spiritual capabilities that help us to travel beyond the barriers of time and space. During those fifteen days we have to undergo various meditation techniques and practices that help to increase our inner strength.”

“The mineral rich water and some special herbs and medicines that grow during this period of year when weather get changed in every few hours; are the major sources of physical strength and capabilities, it also minimize the impacts of ageing and injuries.”

We were stunned to know all this; it was like we are listening to a mythical story of ancient times when people could fly in the sky and get disappear in the air. Though in our time, we have made it possible through the inventions of science, but here it was a totally different story.

“Why the sand is white?” I asked.

“It is not white, (Mahendra chuckled) rather its grains are semi transparent and the white shade is due to a mineral named “Urvita”, which is commonly found in the sand. Urvita keeps the soil fertile and sustains the nutrient level of crops.” he explained. 

“But the other part of the planet is not suitable for humans. Is it all dreary and deserted? Or there is any interesting story about our PURPLE Planet?” Tara asked.

“No, that region has volatile climate conditions either too hot or too cold; we can’t live there, but yes, its rich mineral resources are the foundation stones and crown jewels of our cities.”

“Yeah, Tanzanite, Mercury, Iron and that Blue thing.” Tara sighed.

“That blue thing is the life line of the Southern region of the planet, one of the fundamental elements that helped to creating the life on planet. We have named it “Neelam”; however, you won’t see the presence of Neelam in Northern region due to some complicated climate-geographical conditions. It is replaced by Carbon, the essential element of human life.” The last sentence was added by Vasumitra who was out of the discussion till now.

Suddenly, I remembered about our station team which must have been started off for Devbhoomi after our massage of last night.

“Mahendra, there is something I forgot to tell you and the councilors. Though our request has been rejected, but our space station team is already on the way to Devbhoomi.”

“What??? Why you did not tell us this earlier? They won’t be able to enter in the orbit of our planet, the space security shield will destroy them miles before the orbit; stop them or they will die.” Vasumitra was furious.

He quickly took us to another portion of the building. A big hall, walls covered with some panel like structures. Vasumitra pressed some buttons on a wall and a virtual screen appeared with keyboard/control board panel.

“Your spaceship’s communication system is under our surveillance and now it is connected with our satellite system. You can communicate with your team from here as well.” With these words, he pushed me in front of the screen; his assistant was already doing some work on control panel. In no time, I saw Jim, one of our station engineers on the screen.

“Jim, this is Sasha, I need to speak with your captain…”

New Earth --Part 2

I was still looking at him and was trying to believe what he was saying. I felt that my throat was choked and I can’t utter even a single word. I looked towards Remy and Shiva and it seemed that both of them were feeling the same sensation.

“Are you human?” finally, I spoke.

“Do you still have any doubts? Of course, we are humans just like you. The same flesh, blood and the genome.” He smiled.

 

I saw, Shiva was making a hold on his weapons and Remy was ready to give a demonstration of his fighting skills. Then, I heard him saying these words.

“You don’t need to be afraid, if we wanted to kill you or harm you, then we could have done that when your ship landed up at our planet. We watched every step of yours and Allowed you to come So far. Come with me and meet with our people.” He spoke in a proudly manner.

I was still confused and of course scared as well, I was worried for Tara. Finally, Shiva broke his silence and asked, “Who are you, do you have any name and where do you want to take us and why?”

“Youngman, do you think that I want something from YOU?? Did you forget the purpose of your journey? What are you doing here, in an unknown, hostile land?” He was confident and his voice was full of sympathy. He continued with these words...

“My name is Mahendra and I am here to take you people in front of the Council of the Representatives. However, before that Aditi would like to see you in her dining hall.”

“Who is Aditi and what is this Council?” I had many question.

 “Relax Sasha, every question of yours will be answered, be patient and now please board in...” he pointed towards that strange vehicle, which was looking like it was made of bright rays.

“We will follow you in our boat ships. I replied.

“Your boat ships are not allowed inside our city. You should trust me; we will not harm the people of Earth.”

With these words of him, I saw that the Pyramid is getting open from the center. Slowly-slowly a huge gate appeared and the pyramid started getting vanished. We get into the vehicle and entered in the gate. In no time, I saw another miracle; yes it could have been a miracle only. There was a whole city in front of our eyes, I could see various types of structures and lot other thing, for which I don’t have any name. Mahendra was smiling, “our cities are covered with the near invisible safety layer. No satellite or radar can detect our presence until we don’t open this “Magical Pyramid”.

Soon we reached to our destination; those vehicles were definitely using the most efficient fuel of this universe because their speed was faster than our thoughts. When I came out of it, I saw a huge structure in front of me; a splendid building. It was built in levels or layers and each level was easily visible due to an open space garden adjoined with it. There were five such levels and I could see fountains, stair shaped gardens, statues and domes of course.

Soon we were inside the building and I found myself crossing big hallways and corridors along with Remy and Shiva. Finally, we reached in to a big room, where I saw small tables and chairs were arranged in semi circle. Mahendra asked us to take the seats and soon few servants like people came and started serving the food on our tables. We looked at each other.. "is it edible" Remy asked.

"of course, it has been prepared for Earth Humans only. go ahead."  

“Aditi could be here any moment”. Mahendra spoke.

“Now will you tell us who is Aditi?” that was Shiva.

“She is the mother of all citizens of Devbhoomi, Aditi is the name of the position she holds not her name. Her actual name is Shashwati and it’s the fifth year of her tenure.”

“You mean an elected body”. I asked.

“No, no, we have a procedure to choose Aditi.” He did not get time to speak any further because a group of armed men entered in the room and after them a lady stepped in. She was looking very graceful and there was a kind gesture on her face. She too had mongoloid features.

“Welcome to our land, we are delighted to meet you; it is the first time when somebody has visited us from Earth since our ancestors left it. You are my personal guests; I have appointed Mahendra and Vasumitra to take care of you. I would like to listen the stories of Earth from you.” She finished her words with a gentle smile and then she left the room.  My somnolence broke up and I felt as if it was her aura that had mesmerized us.

“Mahendra, I think you should know that why we are here. We are looking for … “my sentence left unfinished because another guy interrupted and said...”The council is busy for a while it will take some time. Till then, you have to wait.” That was Vasumitra.

 I was worried for Tara, therefore, I asked Mahendra again, “One of our team members is still in the ship; I need to inform her about all these things. I want to use a communication system.”

“Your friend is safe and here with us. We brought her here, though she got scared when she saw us inside the ship, but we managed that and now she is taking rest in a recreation chamber.” Mahendra replied with his evergreen smile.

I was in a shock state; then I saw Vasumitra leaving the dinning room. After few minutes, he was back and he was not alone; Tara was with him. I almost rushed towards her and embraced her; I looked at her from tip to toe… she was looking fine, there were no signs of injuries or wounds. Somehow, I controlled my anger and indicated both Remy and Shiva to stay calm as well.

“Now when we have some time, then it would be nice if you can enlighten us about the history of Devbhoomi?”

“I would like to know about these strange and extreme weather conditions.” Shiva also put his question on the table.

“Ok, let me start with the history. As I have told you earlier that we are the descendants of Dev Vishwakarma and Mahrishi Agastya. Hundreds of centuries ago, during the ancient times, Dev Vishwakarma was the finest architecture and engineer of this universe; however, we are still the best engineers in this whole universe.” (Oh, really, Shiva muttered) … Mahendra continued, “Every king and god wanted him to create the best Palaces, Ships, Rath and weapons for them; and he did not disappoint anyone. When the battles took place between the kings, those weapons and ships proved deadly exterminators; hundreds of people died and it harmed the natural assets as well as.”

“It did not stop here; the Gods, the Asuras and the human Kings forced Dev Vishwakarma to create new and advance weaponry and magnificent palaces that can become the medium to display their wealth and power. Mahrishi Agastya tried to stop this race of weapons and pomp show, but nobody listened to him.”

“Dev Vishwakarma was an ambitious yet a wise person. He understood that his creations are becoming the crown jewels for others and many a times they are being used in the destructive manner as well. Therefore, he decided to create a world of his own; a place where no Kings or Gods will rule the world, nor the Asuras will scare the humans. A wonder of its own kind; he wanted to make.”

“Therefore, he left Earth along with Mahrishi. I hope you have had heard about the legends about Mahrishi Agastya.”  

“Err, Emmm, a little bit, but as it has been an old thing, so it would be good if you can elaborate us about Mahrishi Agastya.” Remy tried to manage. Mahendra understood about our poor knowledge.

“He was not just any other sage of ancient times, but he was a great Explorer. It was him who took the Aryan Civilization to the southern India. He was the first man to cross the great Vindhyan mountain range. He made expeditions into the various parts of the Earth. He discovered many islands of your Indian ocean and of Pacific as well.”

Therefore, when Dev Vishwakarma decided to leave the Earth, Mahrishi also joined him because he wanted to explore this glorious and infinite universe.”

Their families also joined them in this grand expedition. They wandered in the space for a long time and then, they reached here. This planet besides its strange climate astounds both the gentlemen and the nonpareil beauty of this land forced them to stay here forever. Moreover, this planet is located at such a far distance that it wasn't easy for anyone to reach here.”

“Can you explain the reason behind this strange weather and I guess those igloos that we saw yesterday are somewhat related with the extremity of weather.” That was Tara, finally she broke her silence.

“Well, here in North Pole it happens only for 3 months and in South Pole those situations remain for 6 months. There are many factors behind climatic changes; we have two suns and Devbhoomi is located at different distance from each of them. The shape of orbit is also different and the last factor the tilt of axis, which is quite unique...”

“Therefore, we need those igloos to grow grains, vegetables and fruits. Though, we like to call them Bowl. In south, as the weather is quite tough, we don’t have any colonies over there.”

“I see...” Tara murmured. Rest of us was quiet and almost lost in our own thoughts. Suddenly a loud voice appeared in the atmosphere.

“The Councilors are waiting to see you, please come with me.” It was Vasumitra. I was ready to talk with those people who have created a “New Earth” here in a far corner of universe.
