The coming of the Fauns

Destroyer of the planet.

It happened 10 years ago. On the day of the catastrophe that destroyed all of humanity. The excavations were carried out by a group of archaeologists in a place called Khor Virap. Where, as it turned out later, the mineral, Fleziradia, was first found.

"Professor Brom. Well, how long, we still have to go. I'm already tired. Anyway. Are you sure we’ll find anything in this cave?" 

Christie asked, in a serious tone. One of the students who were looking for something very important as a whole team. What will change the world. Then they did not yet know what it was and how much it would change all of humanity in the future. And also, to be remembered for centuries, this very day.

"Yes. According to the legends of ancient civilizations. It is in this place that their goddess, whom they worshiped, is hidden. After visiting it, they received knowledge, experience and technology, which in our time, even few people managed to create." 

Damascus steel and more have been made in the world. For five years, a group of several people have been following the trail and have already searched many places on the planet. It was unsuccessful. But about where they're headed. The professor at the institute was completely sure. The fact that the guys are here for sure, yes, they will find something.

"I have read your materials, professor, and it seems to me that you are absolutely right. If it does, there will be a failure. Then, you can throw this venture." 

Jack, who is now the Flairz commander, was formerly a student at Brom. I considered him always right, in theories, and followed him, no matter what. He sincerely believed that if a group of archaeologists find this thing that people used in ancient times, they will be able to change this planet for the better, and achieve even greater progress in the development of mankind.

"I agree with Jack. Let's stop at this point. I'm already tired of being disappointed all the time." 

Christie just got sick of wandering around the world. She was not interested in finding the mineral. She went with them only to see the world. No more.

"Then, let's move on. Inside the cave, exactly what it is. I'm feeling it. If not. Then, I will accept your offer and we will end this journey." 

A group of archaeologists continued their search. And in the end, they still found it, after 2 hours of wandering. A huge place filled with mineral, and in the center there was an unknown object.

It was a capsule created far beyond our technology. There are many minerals scattered around, of unknown origin. Everything shone bright green.

"What it is?" 

With amazed eyes, Christie looked. Not trusting at all, his gaze. As if she, in some kind of long dream, and this is not for real. Everything that is happening at the moment. As if they got into some kind of adventure film. The others, too, were shocked and were in a stupor. A short period of time.

"At last. We found what we were looking for." 

Brom alone was overjoyed and happy that they had achieved their assigned tasks. Immediately. Humanity has not yet known such a mineral. After all, the professor knows all of them by heart and can distinguish each of them. But this one, he sees for the first time.

Then, they began to collect all this mineral from the Khor Virap cave. Filling, full bags and were already ready to leave her. And return home, with the successful completion of the assignment. Joy on their faces did not go away, not for a second. And at Christie's, now with Jack.

"Professor, who is this girl lying in the capsule? There is also a button, which one is." 

Jack was the first to notice her. And it would be better if he didn't. This man became the direct culprit that awakened the horror that befell the planet. Brom noticed late and did not have time to stop his student.

"Stop! Do not rush to click on it. This can be very dangerous." 

It was already too late. By pressing this button, they opened the real, Pandora's box. She went out. Nika. The girl was, just like now, completely n***d. Without clothing. She said only one thing.

"People. You have violated the law of nature. And for this, you will pay." 

Everything around began to change. The whole world. From all the cracks, Fauns crawled out and destroyed, city after city. Country by country. They swept everything away on their way. Sparing no one. Like a typhoon passed around the world. It was a terrible sight. Only one tenth, part of the population survived.

"And so it appeared, a great disaster. She summoned the Fauns and destroyed most of humanity, and we were the culprits who did this. More precisely, it was me." 

On this, the story of the commander ended and Ron found out the true reason for her imprisonment. Why are they keeping Nika in a capsule and unconscious. After all, its power is uncontrollable, and also unknown and if, it is not correct to use it. The rest of humanity can be wiped off the face of the earth. Plus, she can't be killed. She is immortal. And this is very frightening.

"What a horror. But in the same place, a warning was written. Why didn't you obey? If it were not for this fatal mistake, the world would not have become the way we see it now." 

Herbert, in a frightened voice, asked Jack. Now, he was overcome by anger and hatred. After all, the disaster that happened brought the guy a lot of pain and suffering. But most of all, he was confused only by the fact that this monster saved his life. And how to perceive it now? As a friend or as an enemy.

"I know." 

And the commander did not even know what to answer him. After all, it was he who was on that expedition and discovered this damn capsule. This man was, in fact, the most direct culprit of the disaster. And he took and confessed to Ron. True, the guy kept himself under control. This time, his power did not come out. As if I fell asleep, in a long dream.

"Commander. We have already arrived. You need to provide your permission to land." 

Only at the last moment, Echo came and broke this tense situation. Reporting that the ship had finally arrived at headquarters.

"Let's go. Sorry boy, but this is the end." 

The commander pushed his hand into Herbert's back. Towards Emo.

"I do not understand. What did I do to you?" 

Now the court, Ron cannot escape. He will have to appear and accept the punishment. For illegal use, of the mineral Fleziradia. And the verdict has already been decided in advance. This is the death penalty. There is no other result for him.

"Put him in handcuffs." 

Emo, took the handcuffs out of the bag and fastened them on Ron. And then he went out. Sad and displeased. He really didn't want to put them on him. And all because he sincerely, did not want him dead. And he was, for a pardon. But alas, the fate of the villain ordered otherwise.

“Sorry boy. If only fate had not brought you to Nika. You could live, a little longer, a normal and normal life."

Meanwhile, Jack himself. He took and began to lead Ron out of the ship, to the gates of the city. The commander personally decided to accompany him to the courtroom. Higher Command, he has already notified. And they completely prepared everything for the meeting.

"Sir, Judge William. The perpetrator, Ron Herbert, has arrived in town." 

The assistant judge ran in and reported on arrival. Less than an hour left before the meeting. William, in turn, got up and went into the office, to the jury. To discuss the progress of the case, before starting.

"Okay. Collect all the jury."

"There is."
