Captured

Prologue

'This is our land. No other individual other then twenty two thousand of us are allowed in here. If ever anyone enters, remember soldiers, that individual must not escape. Once in they should never be able to get out. Torture them, ill treat them, isolate them and most of all- deprive them from their rights before killing them.'

'Mr. Danti! You must drink the immortality nectar right away and you will live till the end of the third planet. When you find the one, the one who is capable enough to open the portal, bring him here to me or whoever rules you at that time. Once the portal is unlocked there will be no interference, no interference at all. March off soldiers and plant the seeds of protection all over. Only the chosen one, or maybe the chosen ones will be the first and the last one to enter here. Go soldiers, go!' He paused to cough and after a second or two he continued, 'My dear comrades, do you think we fell here purposely? I think not. Maybe this is where we were destined to land, to adapt as a habitat. The third planet is more then just a planet. It is a gift , a gift from above. No other can steal it from us, at least not till the third planet is one single piece. Always remember, even after I fade away these words that I have planted in your brain should not wash away.'

'Keep in mind! Those individuals out there can be harmful, they can cheat, betray, kill and destroy us. You may think that I am creating a storm in the teacup, but no! They are dangerous, therefore never ever try to expand your habitat. Within the boundaries of protection we are inviolable and invincible, but outside we are weak, very weak indeed. But then as it is said 'united we stand and divided we fall' we all also have to cooperate with our fellow comrades. Remember! We were one, are one and will always remain one!' He push his chair behind and stood up feebly. He managed to smile and take a step or two before collapsing.
