12/03/13
Due to the celebration of America's Thanksgiving, there was no post on last Thursday.

Greetings and salutations. Caslaikove here. Last week I shared about the destruction of Boesona at the hands of the Mooomuos. The one-sided war prompted the Anntens to enter on the side of the Vultaires of Boesona. To keep this straight, remember that the continents of Terlokya (all 5 of them) were de facto countries in as much as the way Earth is divided amongst its peoples. Here’s a list to help:
The Vultaires lived on the continent of Boesona, which surrounded the North Pole of the planet. It is the 3rd largest continent.
The Mooomuos and the Kinteras, who barely co-existed, lived on opposite coasts of Kamchow, the largest continent. The Mooomuos didn’t really get along with anyone.
The Anntens, lived mostly on Dansleg, (with some small percentage living on Sygon) the 2nd largest continent.
The Parnewsians mostly lived on Sygon, the smallest continent, with about 25% living on Meeuusoe, the southernmost continent.
The Faswazzies lived on Meeuusoe, the 4th largest continent. Peaceful people who did not know how to fight.

When the Anntens entered the war, they held back the Mooomuos’ onslaught on the Vultaires, but were slowly giving ground. The Anntens pleaded with the Parnewsians, the most technically advanced group, to come to their aid. When the Mooomuos discovered that the Anntens had asked the Parnewsians to enter the war on their side, the Mooomuos unleashed the fury of their nuclear arsenal onto the interior of the Dansleg continent where most of the Annten military and industry were located. They did the same to Boesona. The Parnewsians immediately launched a nuclear strike on the eastern parts of Kamchow where the Mooomuos mostly resided. Then the war suddenly stopped. All communications were down. History says the fighting ceased due to the destruction of life, technology, and land. But the survivors know the real reason. After the blast clouds covered the planet, it began to rain; hard. But it wasn’t raining water. It was a red rain. What made it red?

NEXT WEEK “Blood?”

11/26/13, Earth Time: 06:00 AM, EST, Tuesday – The Story of Terlokya - Savagery

Greetings and salutations. Caslaikove here. Last week I discussed how the Great War led to destruction of the continent of Boesona and almost wiped out the people who lived there, the Vultaires. The Mooomuos and the Kinteras, both of Kamchow, were in a bitter war that had gone on for decades. The Mooomuos decided that the only way to win, was to choke the Kinteras off from the natural resources they needed to wage war. Most of Terlokya’s resources were found in Boesona. The Vultaires of Boesona had always been a passive people and had trade agreements with everyone. They never took sides in conflicts, preferring to remain neutral. When the Mooomuos demanded that Boesona cease trading with the Kinteras, Boesona agreed only if trade with the Mooomuos also stopped. That was unacceptable. What happened next was disastrous.

The Mooomuos attacked the Vultaires, who were totally unprepared for war. The Anntens, who lived mostly in Dansleg with some living in Sygon, rushed to Boesona’s defense. However, the Anntens were no match for the war seasoned Mooomuos but provided enough support to thwart the attack. The Anntens asked for assistance from the Parnewsians of Sygon, who happened to be the most technically advanced of all the civilizations. The Mooomuos were showing no mercy on the areas of Boesona they had conquered. Wholesale slaughter of innocents was occurring which forced the Parnewsians to join the conflict.

NEXT WEEK “Red Rain”

Part 6 - Another Great Tuesday Edition - (with sponsors) 

03/05/13

During the discussion of my assignment, Ethan, – my professor, then mentioned that I wrote like I had been at or had seen what I was writing about. He said it was fresh and seemed like a firsthand account and asked me how I pulled that off considering some of it took place on the Moon. “Well … ,“ I began. “You’re gonna think I’m crazy. It’s a long story.” He said to try him so I did. I said, “I was there.” He gave me that funny look again, and said, “You’re right. This sounds like a long story but I have to go. We’ll talk more about it next week.” With that, he left the classroom.

I didn’t know what he thought but wondered if he’d have anything to do with my work anymore or was he serious that we’d talk next week. One of my classmates was still in the classroom and had overheard our conversation. She asked what was so bad about being somewhere that you were writing about. Since she hadn’t been privy to last week’s conversation nor had she read my assignment, I figured I might as well add a second person to the list of those that think I’m nuts. (And now I’m adding anyone who is reading this blog) I told her that the chapters I had turned in for the assignment involved stories from the past and from events on the Moon. Her face scrunched up a bit as she eyed me. “Okay, I’ll bite. How’d you do that?” I told her it all began back in the late 60s when I lived in Germany. She immediately said I was a former hippy and that it was the drugs. I then told her that I was 13 years old at that time and lived with my family. That’s when she said, “I gotta hear this,” and sat down in chair next to mine. So I began. And you’ll get to read about it next week.
