The setting of the book is a gigantic interstellar monarchy called the Interstellar Condominium of Planets and Empires, (ICOPE), ruled by an Emperor and Empress; with two chambers of a legislature to pass laws. One fateful day the Emperor unexpectedly dies. The Empress, instead of staying on the Capital Planet called Empire Prime, chooses to leave her home planet and resettle on a planet far, far away from the Empire. The planet she happens to choose is Earth. The ultra-advanced medical technology of the Empire allowed the Empress Emeritus Zinabar to still look like a teenaged girl even when she was several hundred years old. This Imperial document covers the time she was crowned Empress of the Interstellar Condominium for Planets and Empires, until the time she settled on Earth. During this span Zina made friends with and actually rode flying horses from another world, had a very nasty interaction with a “Trecian Witch”, and had a fateful encounter with a pack of vicious “Claw Cats”, whose claws and fur were filled with venom.

Warning!

It is extremely important for you as a citizen of the Empire, or even a noncitizen, that you read this warning before you proceed further in this Official Imperial Document, (even though you have read previous warnings on other Official Documents), which tells important historical and biographical personal facts about a former Empress; which limits the information given in this document that anyone can copy; disseminate; or publish! The consequences for unauthorized copying, orally or mentally spreading the information person to person, or widespread mental or electronic publication, are extremely severe!

The following document is a short excerpt from the billions of carefully catalogued and cross-referenced pages of the official secret Annals of the Imperial Seers; authored using audio and mental printers by the Royal Magi whose secret headquarters are situated somewhere on Empire Prime, the Capital Planet of the mighty ICOPE, i.e., the Interstellar Condominium of Planets and Empires. This Seer Center of Operations building is physically accessible only by mental transposing, which only trained Imperial Magi can successfully accomplish!

This antique document, among several million that are determined to be especially important, was originally set aside to be eternally preserved on the indestructible pages of The Annals of the Imperial Seers. Now, for a specific purpose, it has been physically printed out on archaic paper in order to help the Mages orally advise the Emperor during private visitations on certain scientific matters important to the entire Empire of Empires! Several very perplexing and puzzling phenomena have been observed in the atmospheres and near space areas outside the atmospheres of several Empire planets and some of the data in the following pages may hold the key to unlocking these unsolved and very perplexing mysteries! As such, it may also contain vital intelligence information about the Empire’s military procedures, military construction protocols, and/or Imperial traditions from the distant or recent past that could be extremely dangerous if obtained by forces unfriendly to the Imperial Realm! As such, it may not be copied, physically or mentally transmitted, or quoted without express confirmed electronic or recorded mental consent of an Official Imperial Seer of Mental Rank of not less Corona Strength and the earning and bestowal of Interferon treatments for service to the Empire allowing a lifespan of not less than a 1000 years.

If you are an ordinary Imperial Citizen, you may not legally read any information contained in the following pages unless you have a documented Imperial Secrecy Rating at least Above Top Secret! After reading this document, you may never divulge any information contained in it because of the reasons listed above, and also due to the fact that the technical data contained in the following document contains certain secret facts which could be harmful to the Empire’s Main Timeline/Time Cloud if allowed to become public knowledge and is used by certain enemies of our Empire! You may not legally divulge the information to, or discuss the enclosed information with, anyone not having the required ultra-high security clearance! If such a breaking of the law is discovered, by Imperial Law, the perpetrator is subject to immediate transport to the Imperial Prison Planet with absolutely no chance of any other sentence, absolutely no chance of a plea deal, or absolutely no chance of any sentence less that LIFE, i.e., until during your incarceration you are pronounced dead by the Prison Planet AI administrator’s sensors and immediately buried anonymously in the local prison cemetery.

As always, in any Certified Imperial or private Document or any mental projection that is allowed to be published and/or publically transmitted by the Imperial Ministry of Information, any mention of the controversial and mythical terms, such as: Winds of Destiny; Trecian Witches and Trecian Warlocks; Shape-shifters, and Wer-Men or Wer-Women; in any non-fiction or fiction manuscript; any mental book; or any media public broadcast does not mean official scientific acceptance of their possible existence by Imperial authorities the Imperial Magi, and/or Imperial scientists. It merely indicates what is the author’s opinion on the very volatile subjects or a simply technique used by the author to hold the reader’s or listener’s attention using exciting legendary and unfamiliar terms!

Additionally, the following

Imperial Warning is required by law to be read

Before you can legally read the following document:

After reading the following document, to knowing repeat or divulge the forbidden top secret knowledge it contains to any unauthorized person(s) is to break Imperial Decree 1, 452, 238, 201, 419, which fixes the punishment for such law-breaking at:

Forfeiture of Imperial Citizenship

Banishment to one of the Prison Planets

Death by nerve deterioration

Any or all of the above after you have been judged by the impartial Compu-Judge, Model MCIX, on Empire Prime.

As an added safety against unauthorized entry, in order to read the following Above Top Secret document you must speak the proper code word aloud before you turn to the next page, or for security reasons, an undetectable sub-atomic protection device will cause the entire document to dissolve into primeval dust!

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! TURN THE NEXT PAGE AT YOUR OWN RISK!

BE PREPARED TO SPEAK

ALOUD IN STANDARD

GALACTIC THE PROPER CODE WORD!

PLEASE SPEAK THE PROPER

CODE WORD NOW!

OR THIS Top-Security Clearance

DOCUMENT WILL

DISINTIGRATE INTO SUBATOMIC DUST!

Congratulations! If you are reading this then it means that you are officially cleared to read the following document exactly copied from the Eternal Annals of the Imperial Seers! In the pages that follow, some events chronicled are seemingly impossible; but they are certified by the Imperial Seers to be absolutely true and the original document is available in the Official Annals of the Imperial Seers to be visually scanned on pages of Eternium or to be studied mentally on Telepathic Books, by authorized persons on Empire Prime until the nuclear fires of last sun in the entire Cosmic All grow dim and are completely extinguished!

As such, as you read, analyze, and ponder the words on this document, may they be a help to your Blessed Life-Quest hereafter, as an example of one successful Life Pattern to be studied and copied; the story of a person who never quit even when her Life Path became literally impossible and it seemed that Death was imminent! So one important fact should be evident as this document is carefully studied and pondered, which we will again go over at the end of the manuscript.

What is a TIME WINNER"?

Even after several documents have been written during the last few centuries on Empire Prime by Imperial Seer authors attempting to explain exactly what the unusual term means, unfortunately, the question posed above must still be asked by those of us who do not know Galactic Standard and/or the complex scientific language of the Empire’s Magi to enable us to read the required documents! If you are a citizen from the planet called Earth, you have absolutely no idea what the terms described in scientific jargon mean. But if you are from a Member Planet of the Empire of Empires, known as the Interstellar Condominium of Planets and Empires, (ICOPE), or a proxy from a backward planet existing in the Empire’s Sphere of Influence and not ready yet for membership, you may have read previous Time Documents, printed out to give the Emperor important information about certain scientific principles which can affect the entire Empire, and asked the very important question: "Just what is a Time Winner"? Is it some being, such as a Reptiloid, a Snakoid, a Humanoid, an Insectoid, or even a Colloid Cloud, (the major 5 species of sentient beings in the Cosmic All classified by Imperial scientists), that impossibly goes through time to accomplish deeds of daring? Perhaps! Is it any one of those beings who wisely uses their time that is allotted to them during their relatively brief lifespan to accomplish something Historically Important; the effects of which will last on the Main Galactic Time Line until the last sun in the Cosmic All fades to oblivion or goes nova? Perhaps! Is it any one of those legendary beings whose daring exploits stirs the fabled invisible Winds of Destiny to surge into action?!?! Perhaps! Is it one of those warrior beings who does not ever accept even a minor setback lightly and when literally staring into the Face of Defeat, will keep on Hanging Tough! and keep on keeping on until an Incredible Victory is finally snatched from the Jaws of Defeat? Perhaps! It is one of those beings who does not quit even when literally facing with Death or even when more than half-dead and literally walking through the Valley of the Shadow of Death?!?! Perhaps! Is it all of the above characteristics??? The answer to the previous listed questions is

YES . . . . AND . . . . NO! BUT ACTUALLY NO MEANS THAT JUST BEING A TIME WINNER INVOLVES A FEW THINGS MORE!!!! THROUGH MANY MILLINNIUMS, PHILOSOPHERS THROUGHOUT THE INTERSTELLAR CONDOMINIUM OF PLANETS AND EMPIRES HAVE SAID THAT THE BESTOWAL OF SUCH AN AMAZING TERM TO DESCRIBE A HEROIC BEING MUST INVOLVE SEVERAL MORE EXTREMELY IMPORTANT ATTRIBUTES BESIDES THE ONES LISTED!!!! WHAT?!? YOU DOUBT SUCH AN EXTREME STATEMENT???

THEN KEEP READING; KNOWING THAT BY DOING SO, YOU ARE SWORN TO SECRECY ABOUT ITS CONTENTS UNTIL YOU PASS THROUGH THE DOOR OF DEATH INTO THE NEXT PHASE OF ETERNITY!

Prologue I

The vast Universe is an extremely vast; hauntingly colorful; lonely place! If any of the major types of sentient beings in the Cosmic All, i.e., Reptiloid, Insectoid, Snakoid, Humanoid, (and possibly the very, very strange and extremely rare Colloid Cloud), beings uses their biological visual light, X-ray band, or infrared sensors to look up into their planet or asteroid’s sky at night, the odds are that any dim pinpoint dot of light that any of them observe is not light from a sun; it is simply a narrow beam of light from an entire galaxy billions of light years away, and consisting of the light of at least a million suns! Millions upon millions of planets are nested around equally countless stars, including ultra-stars, super novae, wandering nomad stars, totally burned out dark stars which emit no visible light or radiation; and former stars such as brown dwarfs, black holes, and white holes. These celestial light producers, and former light emitters, varying in brightness from extremely bright to being totally dark and extremely dangerous to space travelers in normal space, are strewn across quadrillions of light years; grouped among billions of galaxies. The Imperial Astronomers have many extremely large reflecting telescopes situated on all points in the Empire’s Sphere of Influence. (Each of these scientific marvels must be at least ten light years from the nearest sun or else they cannot focus their image on imaging media without the picture medium bursting into flames; or successfully store the images without the video image being totally white because of the strength of the trillions of pixels being stored!) Viewed from the ICOPE’s five hundred mile wide reflecting telescope, situated at the edge of the Great Dark to allow greater clarity and focus, the Cosmic All seems to be a tapestry of millions of hues of colors; painted across countless millions upon billions upon trillions of light years, with its colors every changing and never repeating the same pattern!

Among the myriads of planets are an immeasurable number of bipedal, quadrupedal, and multi-pedal sentient and semi-sentient beings, mostly of the previously mentioned Reptiloid, Insectoid, Snakoid, Humanoid, and perhaps, Colloid Cloud races; but also thousands upon thousands of sentient beings whose physical and mental characteristics are so bizarre, i.e., different from the norm, that they cannot be categorized by the Imperial Scientists into any of the 4, and some Imperial Population Authorities say perhaps 5, previously mentioned Major Sentient Being Types of the Universe computer listings established on Empire Prime. When a member of the Royal Explorer-Scouts team discovers a new planet inhabited a previously unknown type of being, i.e., a sentient being having a unique shape and different physical features; exhibiting some means of self-locomotion; after being studied from long range by the Imperial Planetary Drone sensors of the Royal Survey Society, these many unique types of beings are given their own unique Being Type Number or Type Number denoted with subtype letters, and their complete physical characteristics are recorded for Eternity in the Society’s computer files, where they may be studied by any Mage, certified Empire citizen; active university student, or Imperial research scientist. Sentient beings come in all shapes, sizes, and mental and physical powers. There are actually several million Being Types listed in the Royal Survey Society’s files! But some previously studied beings, even when their planet has been a member of ICOPE for many years and after being scientifically and physically examined for many years, can suddenly exhibit previously unknown mental or physical talents when they start mingling with other beings on their planet or when they spread out to explore the galaxy. Whenever such meetings of these types occur, the results can be benign, very, very interesting historically or………………very, very dangerous to the safety of the entire United Galaxies of the Interstellar Condominium of Planets and Empires which is spread across millions of light years!

The following document records several such meetings of very different animal species and sentient beings with varying degrees of success and/or failure! These happenings illustrate the fact that one cannot measure the intrinsic worth of a living life form, no matter what the type number and subtype letter given it by Imperial Life Scientists, by just judging by outward appearances! No, one must judge all the hidden inner qualities as well! You are puzzled by these statements and wonder what they mean? Read on and judge for yourself! At the end of this document take the time to ponder what has been covered in the narration presented. You may be contacted at any time in the Future by an Imperial Seer, who will present Official Imperial Magi credentials, in order to interview you about this document. So as you read, ponder well!

Prologue II

Among several hundred million of these stars, as previously mentioned above, in its own section spanning across galaxies, there exists an enormous monarchial form of government, expanding across countless light years between many galaxies, which governs the organization known as the mighty ICOPE, or Interstellar Condominium of Planets and Empires. It’s very painful inception involved the combining the governments of several solar systems. The multi-solar system government quickly enlarged and after several unsuccessful attempts at finding the right form of government to allow control of such an extremely large special domain, a complex form of Benevolent Democratic Monarchy was finally established; painfully at times by trial and error, over several thousand years! This extremely large government organization is still centered on its capital planet, Empire Prime, and for hundreds of thousands of years, it has been ruled by a single Supreme Monarch officially known as the Emperor, (or Empress), of a Million-Million Worlds. This ruler, who by Imperial Law has absolute authority, is guided in his or her deliberations and rulings by the advice of the Royal Congress, a 2-chamber legislature, an Imperial Constitution and their inner core of trusted advisors, including the Society of Imperial Seers. It is amazing that this entire enormous government; which controls such a large interstellar region, after a very rocky start, has proven to be quite successful for not quite a million years!

At the top is the Supreme Emperor and/or Empress, who rules on the Capital Planet of the Empire called Empire Prime. Also situated on Empire Prime are the ornate buildings housing the Royal Congress or Parliament composed of two separate deliberating bodies; Senca the upper chamber composed of hereditary positions filled by the Imperial nobility; and Housena the lower chamber composed of members elected from all over the Empire. Most of the members of the Senca live on Empire Prime or on one of the Pleasure Planets in very exclusive condos, but almost all of the members of the Housena live many light years away from the Capital Planet on the planet whose population elected them to their Imperial Office and must journey to and from their planet of birth several times a year to perform their duties. The authority of the Congress is directly below the Supreme Ruler. This Royal Congress passes all needed laws and regulations; submitted to it as legal documents called bills by any of the members of either house or directly by the Emperor or the Empress. All the so-called bills which are passed by the Royal Congress are then either signed by the reigning Emperor or Empress, and the terms of the new legal document become the Law of the Empire, or they can be vetoed by either of the Monarchs. If a bill is vetoed it does not immediately become law; the vetoed bill is returned to the Congress to be altered to satisfy the Supreme Ruler’s objections, or to allow the veto to be overridden by a two-thirds vote of both chambers of the Royal Congress. After a two-thirds vote for the vetoed bill, the bill becomes Imperial Law; otherwise, it does not. Directly below the Congress is an extremely large bureaucracy, whose work must span trans-galactic distances, which carries out the Imperial laws and the commands of the Emperor. An ultra-advanced FTL communications system, capable of sending vast quantities of audio, video, and mental messages, greatly helps communication between the planets of the Empire, as well as extremely advanced propulsion systems on both civilian and Imperial military vessels expedite travel over interstellar distances.

The Supreme Emperor or Emperor, by law and tradition, is the official Commander-in-Chief of an extremely large and efficient Imperial Navy whose job is to patrol the Empire’s space frontiers and protect the Imperial Sphere of Influence from many marauding migrating species, such as the species of Reptiloid beings called the Hunan, and other sentient space-faring beings. Most of these Reptiloid raiders come from among the hundreds of the so-called Thunder Worlds, the surfaces of which are literally almost covered 28/8 with violent storms, which continuously produce powerful lightning bolts which cover the entire surfaces of these planets! Not all of the Reptiloid species are violent, some, like those situated at the edge of the Great Dark ruled by the family line of the Reptiloid known as Red Stinger, are loyal members of the Interstellar Condominium of Planets and Empires and are peaceful.

In addition to the Hunan, the Imperial Navy must protect against literally thousands upon thousands of different alien hordes, some of which migrate yearly across their
