Planet X Niburu

A long time a go a planet misplaced in time escaped from a cluster of stars we might call the home of the Milky Way. There from that cluster it broke free of the gravitational lens and was carried across the broken divide towards a lonely planet we might call Terror and a small sun known as Sal or Sol for Salt of the earth. It was a strange little system at the time held in place by a long generation of peoples who had been carried there by times embraces. There were on that planet people from ‘all’ times and places and we spoke of those in the millions.
It was a interesting world in a way. A world held in place by time but not broken by it in the sense we knew. It was there that Salt was the precious commodity of the time and one of those things for which the earth was known. In fact it was a sal-able item and sal became one of those sel or selling words that tends to drive linguists crazy wondering if it might be true. After all when we think of history we think of time and people and places but few put them into Galaxial terms. But we were a part of the galaxy and perhaps a central nexus to some. But for most they lived their lives and practices their selling and lived solitary lives searching for traces of the mineral which made so many rich.
Now Terror was the name of our world for terror had been its history before we can conceive time. It seemed to be such a lonely planet that none could conceive of why it had known the borrowings of pain. Perhaps it was in the word pain that the word for bread became known. For lack of bread was a terrible thing where people cried out for ‘pain’ and it was from the pan, the earth, that the promise of bread was born. For bread held a mysterious promise few of us humans could conceive. Bread was the portion of the poor the bequethal of the rich. Perhaps when I play with words I take you into the beginnings of why Terror became an error of the worlds wisdom.
At one time ter was a place you would want to see. It held canyons and fissures and seas and broken ramparts where water and pleasant places were frequent. Yet there was a Ter of time that took place when Planet X first romped through and it was that Ter that became the beginning of Twisted Space. For twisted space was a broken age and a bond age for which there was no band of brothers who could heal it. And we few humans who now practice science and think of ourselves as wise have little concept of the devastation that broke up the fountains from times abyss. Fountains which stripped the earth to its core revealing things from lineages pages that would scare you if you knew the path of the past.
For it is time which carried us frightened peasants and terrified rich men towards a Sol aflame in fire. It seemed that we would perish in its eternal flames for Planet X stirred its surface and gravity fed its position so we became a magnet which pulled and twisted us towards it.
But someone up there liked us and the Planet known as Planet X became the thing to which terror became the byword of time. In time Terror became terra and terra firma as in solid ground. For it took 100 years for the earthquakes to stop. And during that time there was barely a place on the surface that didn’t ignite with volcano’s or fires that burned the handiworks of the sole and soul.
But Planet X crept off into space and was not seen again for 20,000 years. And during that time men went back to work and salt became more then a molten memory and grew back to its flavors and tastes from other systems of the galaxy. And men forgot as they often do, the pain, the hex that a planet could do to us simple folk. But there was a time lag and 20,000 years came and went and those who lived on Earth forgot.
But on Mars things were different for there the Martian edicts held council and warned others of the approaching firestorm. They warned of the dire threat to their society and they warned that all of the system was in danger. There were signs that Planet X would return and carry them into a nexus from which times twistings could not be broken. But few on Mars really wanted to heed the warning. Those who had survived from the previous passing would not be silenced. They were placed in suspended animation to silence them and the world as we knew it grew silent except for the few wise ones who hid themselves in the earth of Mars.
But time has a way of unraveling even the best laid plans and ships created by the Ers and Arvish and Shelders and night fals would not prove ready for what happened on the next passing of Planet X. Few indeed were ready for the devastation of treachery and deceit. For Time had a way of holding back the Aces and this was the key to survival for the few, the weary and the terrified.
