“Three enemy aircrafts at our 3 O’ Clock and approaching” said Kicker over the radio.

“Prepare guns,” I said. “If they within 500 meters we kil them”

We made a turn back into Tantra’s direction. Enemy aircraft align to us 1,000 meters away.

“They are provoking us,” Healer said.

“Giant Kil er this is HE, you are stil inside merging zone we can see three boogies at a kilometer distance General’s orders are to engage immediately”

General’s priorities are twisted, there is no reason to engage but some people only want the fight and orders are orders.

“Copy HE engaging, over. Get ready boys” We headed towards the enemy with our guns readied. We had them in sight. I bet they did as wel . Some of us are about to die in less than 10

seconds. As we were about to engage my controls malfunctioned. Healer and Kil er provided the same information. Enemy aircraft passed by us without firing a single bul et.

“What is going on?” asked Kicker.

“I don’t know, maybe they have a new weapon they’re testing on us” I said, “Remain calm and keep your hands on the ejectors.”

We tried to turn around, not responding. We tried to communicate with the Home Emperor, not responding, then we tried to communicate with each other, not responding. Ok, now we panic.

We could only see each other with our eyes as we entered a big white cloud so dense we lost visual contact within ourselves. Suddenly I was completely surrounded by this thickness of whiteness and the jet could only go forward. Then everything was shut down. Every electronic.

there was a deathly silence inside the cabin. I was freaking out. Something is taking control of the jet since it started steering by itself. Climbing more and more. Then I was out of the clouds. I could see a very enormous continent of land, the greenest and leafiest I have ever seen. Said land was not more than one kilometer underneath me. There were birds, dinosaurs, rivers, waterfal s and plants so big and wide I had never seen before. Some plants even moved like animals. I took a look to my left and right but Healer and Kicker were not to be seen. My speed was around 4,500 knots. the land continued far into the horizon as if I had never been surrounded by the sea some minutes ago.

In the ground, this gigantic pen took form, several kilometers long, laying down in the mountains with gigantic feathers on the top. What seemed like an old manuscript, the size of a city, covering kilometers and kilometers, with ancient words written on it. Each word was easily the size of some big ass building. Like God’s pen and paper. My jet landed on it and the cabin’s 100

window lifted by itself. I climbed down and stood stil . It was a white surface al around me as far as the horizon could get.

“These are the sacred manuscripts in which your civilization is founded” Said God. “Kneel and touch” I kneeled and touched the ground. The fibers of the manuscript were visible to me as if someone looked at a piece of paper through a microscope. I realized that a gigantic six-winged dove appeared in the mountains and it was talking to me, apparently with the mind”

“It was written by the most innocent soul heaven could offer”

“What does it say?” I asked

“Benign prophecies” Said God. “After the last civilization, the Devil and his army were about to take over the world and rob away the love. Devil would take the joy away from the hearts of man, the il usion, the hope, the colors you see through your eyes, the taste of delicious food, the sense of other loved one’s skin and everything the heart could desire”

I just stood there in the complete whiteness and blue sky. Why am I receiving this information? I have sinned a lot throughout my life.

The manuscript under me disappeared revealing a beautiful green pasture. A Heavy wind blew from the mountain where I could also see the gigantic Pen with feathers fade away in the mountains.

“Why are you tel ing me this God? I am not a good man! I have sinned! I hate the creatures you sent to the Earth! those that aren’t humans!”

“Hating them is part of your soul’s healing Jack, now go on, climb your jet and go on”

“Wait, what is this place?” I asked

“This eternal field is the first ring of heaven”

Said this, the majestic dove flew away and, jet started on its own and the cockpit’s window lifted for me. I climbed up and went on.

Some hours later I could see a very big climbing vine forming in the horizon, so big, so far away it was stil faded but as I came closer the jet started climbing alongside. It must have been several climbing hours so the vine must have been some thousands of kilometers long from where it hangs.

When I reached the top I saw the remains of other airplanes on the ground. Airplanes with external blades on them, planes that looked sophistical y advanced but also kind of outdated.

Other old fighter jets I have never seen, F-14 could be read in the side near the cockpit crystal.

The afterburners suggest to me that fighters stil used carbon fuel. There were also boats, fishing boats, military boats, wooden and metal ic, and the ones our navy uses even today.
