The Guilt of the Innocent

Another world and another people lived.

Unlike us, and unknown to us as we were to them.

Its people were called Htraeings

Modern and robust with two cultures and a more technologicaly advanced society and science than ours.

The people of Htrae had the ability to use a prescious grain of ore to transport them selves to destinations while combining it with the power of thought.

This may be the major uniqueness of there race over ours, besides some subtle differances such as looks, prolification,

and other things you might assume from a people on another planet in another galaxy.

One such differance was the color of their skin, a light purple in color derived from the light of their sun and a diet strong in aquatic creatures of their large seas which all have a purple hue.



Their society is made up of two subtle differant cultures, the old race and the new race. The old race as they call them selves are all found in one geologic rich area called Tsaeelddim.

The old race claims that all the peoples of Htrae all begin life in Tsaeelddim as there first thought is sprung into creation there.

The old race procliams this to be true and dares all others to say a word to them about it not being true.

The new race who makes up 90 percent of all who live on the planet believes this as old stories and not fact.

Yet none dare confront the beliefs of the old race as false for many reasons, one being that the new race is open in thought and yeailding of all beliefs as the right of its thinker.  But most devious in reason is the grip of life the old race has upon all the peoples of Thrae with the precious ore called Edurc.  Its the only place on the planet it can be found and the Tsaeelddim parce it out at a high cost to all not of the old race, and use it to controll the econonomic ebbs an tides of its people like the strinfs of a puppet.

With one grain the size of a grain of salt a Htraeing can grip it in thier hand, concentrate on a plane of there mind that forces the molicules of there body to to arc into contact with space and dimension, resulting in travel to a location of their desire within the distance the power of the grains purity and potency will allow.

Most adults can travel as far as the horizon and continue on as fast as they can put another grain into their palm. So almost all healthy adult Htraeings can potentialy travel across the face of their planet in less than a day.

Within their own surrondings they can safley transport them selves and belongings to a know location.

Groups acting as one have the ability to transport all to one location, thus moving huge quantities of goods or weight of objects.

All of the new race fear the old race and their interpetaions of the begiinings of their planet because of the radical way thier thoughts have developed over time. They beleive them selves to be the true owners of the planet and that all others are their for their bidding and worth less than thier lives.

The Tsaelddims have no other power than what all of the planet have in thought, and have advanced much slower in technology than the free thinking people of the planet, yet because of the ore non dare refuse the wishes of the Tsaelddims.

Time has endured the thinkings of the Tsaelddims thu out the planet for many centuries, but a conflict has surfaced.



  A man and women of  Htrae join in marriage, their concentration of thought is so great that it spurs  their love to a 4th dimention of love, they can at will and with many months of concentrating on having a child, cause its conception to happen without contact of any kind and over great didtances. This is what spurs the attitude of the Tsaelddims. Long before they discovered the ore in their land it was the one place on the planet that life has been found to spring forth from, and the discovery of that ore and its power has made them grow greedy in power of thought and wealth.



Many dis gruntled people of the old race have welled up with hatred of the new race over time with self fullfilling prophecies. This has caused over generations the great divide amongst the people of the planet.  Non of the new race dare travel to Tsaelddim. Its land is wrought with the turmoil of greed and cold absence of love. All are at war with each others thoughts there and the struggle has basterdized to a united point of blame and hate towards the New race.



The struggle  their has exploded in the yearly death of 100s of thousands of their own people and many splinter groups

all struggleing to controll the lands the ore are found on. Their fight has spilled out also into the world, many have suffered their greedy rage. As the power of the world argues about this, their greed also changes the face value of their own struggle to be safe and keep thier own people safe from the terrorist strikes that grow daily. All work to controll the power of the precious ore and to make as much wealth as their part can play.



The people all know if the flow of ore is stopped, that no other means of travel is possible for them because as advanced as they are, there entire civilations uses transporting and it is built upon it as its sole means of movement. It would slow them to a stop to have to develope another means and most would simply die of starvations and freeze in the winter because non could make it to power plants, no materials could be brought there to power it anyways, no food to the stores and no medical or emergency service would be able to help.



The old race enjoys the controll that their power can influence and uses it as they wish.

Those who own the richest of the feilds of Edurc ore have a steady open line of comunications with the largest of buyers of their ore. They say they "allow" their armies to "help" them protect those feilds from the terrorist attacks and the evil that exist in the land of Tsaelddim. They do this at thier whyme, but only as long as all of the old race in the entire land of Tsaelddim allow it in thought.



So far there has been little trouble with all of the old race agreeing that those feilds of Edurc should have as much protections as possible, since, if it all was destroyed, they would have no power over the world.

But, the greed that drove the old race to its way of thinking has started to do the same to the people in power in the new race.

  Movements within the ranks of power in the new race have grown stronger over time with their resonsibility and wealth made off of Edurc.  Many of the new race feel more important than most of the other people of the new race, as if they too are a "special people" and entitled to more than others and with a developing same train of thought that eventually drove the old race to thier point of thought,  of greed and power. With that greed developed a hatred of all others in power and a selfish loss of love towards all fellow Htraeings. Power struggles grew in size and number and it seemed as if the good of their world and the evil doers of their world were bound to collide and destroy the entire population of their world.



A new leader of the new race was elected and he moved forces in to protect the Edurc feilds at no ones beconing. He vanquished the evil forces of the land of Tsaelddim without being asked to. This angered all the people of Tsaelddim even those in power.  The evil doers in power in the land of the new race began a political attack campaign against him and over time ruinied his name and made most think he was a bunbling fool.  All he did was keep the world safe thru his time in office.



In time a new leader was elected, this leader listened again to the words of the people of Tsaelddim and to the mis-influence people of the new race. He began removeing the troops that brought saftey to people of Tsaelddim and the precious Edurc.

  The world again began to move closer to armagedon. The people of Tsaelddim suffered death and beheadings as the evil doers took controll again and began their radical movements of terror to controll the worlds supply of Edurc.



It seemed hopeless and their world grew colder and darker. Non could fight the influence and pressure created by the over wheelming greed of the evil doers. One by one all the lands were forced to give in an pay untill they had no more to pay but the head on their shoulders, which many many lost because they were not Old race they were New race.



Now  their are no good people left on Htrae. Hatred, selflessness, greed and pure evil rule. As whats left of the population dwindles to only those in power in the land of Tsaelddim those too find themselves left with strife, self hatred and an alarming sence of lucitness that maybe they were not  a special breed, that maybe they were just another member of the planet of Htrae.The world has grown cold and lifeless and thier own small empire of power has grown as cold and small as well. None to fix the now broken technology or buy the Edurc. Life finnaly comes to an end on the planet in the same place it was said to have sprung from.

The End
