Backwards: Story of Aragorn

There has been a man who lost his home, even though the home was beautiful and warm and never failed any of its inhabitants – and still he lost it, because it was stolen from him. A horrible plague invaded his residence territory one day and burgled into the house, and he had to run away from it together with his family. And then his family had to leave him, because they were kidnapped by the same horrible monsters who had taken away their home. So he became alone, but did not give up. He decided to travel to many foreign countries and gather an army to rescue his family and to retrieve his home.

Soon after he started his journey, he met a general who invited him to stay at his headquarters in the garrison⁷. The general told him everything he knew about the foreign army who invaded homes of people on many different planets during a very short time of three days.

'They are comers from a different universe, you should already know that. They never before put their foot on any of our planets. They are very new here,' said the general.

'Are they supported by any magic, what weapons do they have?', asked Shatan Aragorn.

'They possess a very grand arsenal of siege weapons and produce guns and bullets every day. That's why they retook all the people's houses. They wanted to install smitheries on the grounds which they stole from people. And you should know, that almost everybody became homeless. Almost everybody', answered the general.

'Patrick, how long will it be before an army can be gathered to march against them?', inquired Aragorn.

'We have already come together and there are two thousands of us, and soon twice as much people will join us, and our weaponry is larger than ever. We decided not to make any armed moves onto the barbarians, but wait until we are stronger in power, and make them think that we are weaker and hence not fighting them', said Patrick.

'Are your children here with you?', asked Aragorn.

'They are not here, and that's a relief. They are all at a school in the Wonderland dimension⁸. The barbarians can not get to that field yet, and should they come into possibilities to get there, we will instantly transfer them elsewhere. What about your family?'

'I have not seen any of them, except for my son Hamish, he visited me last night when I was staying in a tavern. But then he went back to my wife. I couldn't talk to him for long, there were criminals inside the tavern, and they were agressive to him. He only told me that they are all safe, and that their mother is going to locate all of them somewhere safe. Perhaps it would be good for me to send her a message to put them up in the same place that your children are staying.'

'Yes, Wonderland seems the best shelter at the current.'

'I have looked at the criminals who invaded this earth, and I must tell you, they are different than whatever used to contradict law in the previous years. They are not very amusing at all, and even though unbright, they are very strong physically, and with many body abilities.'

'The universe where they are born is their master. It calls them to life under work and slavery. They are all slaves of their own universe. Guided by a source of life which is contained inside their central galaxy and their universal material.'

'I have heard so already.'

'They all do not what they can but what they are ordered to do. They exceed themselves and gain new abilities if they are needed by their owner to have them.'

'My wife is currently looking for a way to raise her own army, because she told me she can not meet with you. When this state changes, she will rejoin with your army, and wants to have many people at her side by that time, to bring you reinforces.'

'It seems not so long ago when our life was utterly peaceful. I still am in shock at how quickly this ended.'

'Me too. I have done a lot to be with my family and my closest friends, and this is all now gone. It seems like yesterday when we all moved into our beloved home. Not a year even passed since we had gotten rid of the previous criminal gangs.'

'This gangstery is in fact behind us, do know that. The new criminals are nothing similar to the previous ones. They do not behave in the same manner, they are differently organized. They are knowledgeable about our science and our culture. They had been spying on our universe during our fights for law and peace. They observed our deeds and know how we got rid of the former criminality. They did not want to invade us then, because they did not want to merge with the gangstery of the previous era.'

'I know that. They spied out a lot of information.'

'They know very well about each of us. Their want is to combine our universe with their own and gain fruits of our earths. They want building materials and they want scientific inventions. That's what they came here for.'

'Still, I have lived for a long time since we regained our freedom and our possessions. This year was much longer for me personally. My wife and I time-travelled to multiple places. You have not done so much travels as we have. But even I feel it has not been a sufficiently long time of peace. And already a new war is upon us.'

'I know. We must use the situation in which we are to our profit. I have a plan which I am hoping you will join.'

Patrick took out a map book from his desk drawer and sat down near Aragorn.

'The United States of Witches⁹ are going to organize weaponry for us. Alabama already is filled to the brim with laboratories and they work non-stop for production of new methods of fighting. And Arizona has organized a network for safe information, so use their lines to communicate with us and all others. The United States of Witches are the most untouched territory among all the planets. Many people still live safely in their houses there. And they already built a connection with a different dimension to move there once they become invaded like the rest of the world.'

'I actually was hoping my wife went there, but yesterday I learned from my son that their way was blocked and that they are currently in the Misty Mountains¹⁰ at the south of Tataria¹¹.'

'This is good to know. That area is very safe for them personally.'

'Yes, they got much care from the inhabitants.'

'Anyway, you should go to the terrains of the Witch Union. I know the road may be closed in many areas, but I am sure you will find an open path to get there eventually. Even if they are invaded, they already have enforced themselves with passage into the Woods dimension¹², and inside there, their territories will remain untouched, as they already prepared large protections which should be entirely successful. If you find their countries already desolated, do know that they certainly then had moved to the Woods, and the gates should be operatable to you. And be warned, if you reach the dimension of Woods from a different place, you will find yourself blocked from the territory of the United States of Witches. Already massive walls of protectional devices guard the entry into these countries from inside the Woods. The only way to get there will be through field gates from a different dimension.'

'All right. But am I not needed in your army more than there?'

'Not really. Because we need you to do something for us all. There is something in that wonderful honeymoon place, where your wife spent so much time with you and me and our friends. Its name is Anaconda Valley. It is inside the Witch Union territory. You need to get there. Because we know a very important thing rests there.'

'You are not talking about this ring that is hidden there. Are you?'

'Exactly, the ring. You must bring it to us. And we can not travel there, and after you find the ring it would be best if you tried to bring your wife to the terrains of the United States of Witches. It would be wonderful if both of you could establish a garrison inside the Woods in this area. And somebody must protect the ring. Because, believe it or not, they want to steal it.'

'So they know where it is?'

'Perhaps they do already, but the lands are very well guarded there. Still, you must take it before they rob it from us. They consider it to be a very important scientific invention, and they want to have it to win the war against us. And this is not the only thing that has to be protected from them. There are other rings, and all of them must be kept safe. The best way to do that is to join them all in one place. Most of the rings are in possession of different people. So after you find the ring, take it somewhere where it will be well guarded, and find people who have other similar rings and assemble them in one safe place. There are nineteen rings of the same value, as the one in the Anaconda Valley.'

'All right. I will find all the rings. And first will go there to the Valley to obtain the first one.'

'Where the rings are, invasions are being prepared or already have happened. Your wife possesses one of these rings¹³. Surely you all have lost your home so quickly because of her ring, and certainly it is now dificult for you all to reunite. So you must meet with her, and establish a garrison inside the Woods, and gather all the nineteen rings there. Can you do that?'

'Surely I can do that', said Aragorn.

And so, Aragorn went on his journey to find the ring of Anaconda Valley. He knew the ring had the power to turn war into peace in the entire universe, and thus he knew of its high value. He therefore did not go on the journey alone, but was joined by two of his very close friends, whose names were Boromir and Kni. The three of them travelled across the continents and reached the lands of the Witch Union within two weeks. But there they were stopped.

The land of Alabama has been invaded before its inhabitants could move out to the safe dimension of Woods, and the three friends had to stay there and fight for the safekeeping of the people. And not only that was an obstacle.

A week of additional journey it took them to cross the swamps which appeared between Arizona and Luisiana. That area was already burgled in by the new barbarians, and they discovered that Luisiana was very important for the invaders, as they all wanted to abuse the powers of vampirism which were contained inside this land. Many enemy troops that wandered the swampy area already used the abilities of vampires, and they were very dangerous. Aragorn was concerned to find out that the new enemies were very hard to kill, and some of them even remained immortal or with easy possibilities to resurrect almost untouched. After four weeks of their journey, they had to again stop for five days because the roads to Anaconda Valley were all attacked by crooks from the foreign army, who assaulted all the riders. They had to fight off many bands and again stopped for a week after that in a tavern, because Boromir had been wounded while they were passing the lake of Damia¹⁴, and he needed rest to get better. Only after nearly six weeks since they left the garrison, they reached the terrains of the Anaconda Valley.
