Date: 25/11/407 KRE - Location: Falgkom City, Planet Azakom

Azakom. Some say it was a lucky find, others say it was just another one of the perfect planets out there in the Kraw Galaxy. Whichever story people believe, this planet was found in 206 KRE by a Taharian soldier who got lost in space. He had to survive without technology for 3 years before Tahars found the planet and the lost Tahar. That Tahar is now famous in Taharian history. His name is Hgassn.

Almost 200 years later, Azakom is a major exportation world, where many items are brought to the planet to be sent to the rest of the empire. Azakom receives jewels, minerals, books and other commodities from many empires in the Kraw Galaxy, and packs them for transfer to other Taharian worlds. Azakom is a good place to live for safety, located far away from Iteok worlds.

This story takes place in a city called "Falgkom", which is a neighbor city to the capital city, "Adurikom". Falgkom was like most Tahar cities - Vibrant with animated images, advertisements, public announcements, and a strict fully automatized driving system. However, one thing is diffrent about Falgkom. Its president, Cygom Dedven-Azemeus, allows religious texts to be present in Libraries, something which is not allowed almost nowhere else.

It was a school break period in Taharian society. While the Taharian education system resembles the Human one, Taharian schools guide their students based on what they're interested in, and stimulate one's interest in other subjects, rather than making them memorize things they have no interest in.

The Taharian legal age for adulthood is 13. Before the space age, it was 19, but was lowered to 13 after the new educational system was founded. Now, Tahars are legally adults 2 years after the average puberty age. There were 3 Tahars who were big friends of each other and had fun exploring other subjects of interest.

The first one was Faahkun. Faahkun is 13 and legally an adult, though his parents think he is unprepared for independent existance, as he is very lazy in Tahar standards. He is known for being slightly fat, and not as agile as his other friends. He is the smartest one of the group though, and a top student in his school.

The second one was Yedrihh. Yedrihh is 15 and has his own home, which his friends often visit in free time. Yedrihh may have finished compulsory education, but he chose not to go further after he got beat up by a gang 2 KRE months before finishing school. Yedrihh is weak, but he has a very large problem solving capacity. Yedrihh is also relatively rich as he once won the lottery, known as a "Luck Draw" in Tahar Society.

The third and last one is Shinaefshk. She is 12, and is slowly preparing for adult life. She is very shy and not as intelligent as Yedrihh and Faahkun, but she's a tough woman, raised by a cruel father, who she now knows how to handle with. Shinaefshk is also known for her love of libraries. Today was her day of proposing an event, as it rotates every 3 Azakom days, which last 36 KRE hours. So 3 Azakom days are 4.5 KRE days. All planets have their own calendar that has more or less days compared to the KRE Calendar.

It was afternoon in Falgkom. The streets are relatively quiet, though it is because the annual burning of the Efige of Irokimum is taking place, as Irokimum killed 7000 people here in 404 KRE. Shinaefshk arrived to Vedrihh's house, which had the 7 common rooms in Taharian homes, the famous set of 2 bedrooms, 1 social room, 1 kitchen, 1 special needs room, 1 storage room, and 1 work room that is available in all Taharian housing. The Work room has a machine which transfers consciousness to that of a strong robot for hard labor purposes. In 74% of cases this room is never used. A Special needs room is equivalent to a bathroom.

The social room, the room Shinaefshk entered, was filled with all sorts of technological gadgets, while light shone from a wall that was pratically a window, with smoke from the Irokimum Efige that could be seen from far away. Shinaefshk proposed the same thing every time she had her day of proposing things.

Shinaefshk - "I want to go to the library again." Faahkun - "Take us to the Efige instead, please come on, it looks fun." Shinaefshk - "You can see it on my datapad. It's just for today." Yedrihh - "I propose we research the extinct Bogh. 4 legged, no arms, 2 humps, 4 horns, brown fur, interesting species!" Shinaefshk - "You say Bogh, go look there. I say the Yaal... flying birds with tentacles to catch food... They're so cute..." Faahkun - "You know what, I'll be ommiting this visit and I'll be going to see the efige. Don't get me started with the "Oh it burned" thing, there's always the Iteok Efige next."

With that, Faahkun left to the Efige festival, without even saying goodbye.

Shinaefshk - "Heh. Want to come with me?" Yedrihh - "Sure."

With that, they head west, into the most democratic library in the Tahar Empire. Not many people are present here to look at the Database, because all that this library has diffrent is a religious texts section, known as the "Fake Mythology section". Yedrihh noticed it for the 8th time he came to the library.

Yedrihh - "Can I poison my mind with outdated dogmas?" Shinaefshk - "What about the Bogh?" Yedrihh - "Bogh can wait."

Yedrihh came towards the Religion section. He scanned the books one by one, there were only 7 there, but it was better than 0. There was the Taharian Book of God of -1660 KRE, the "7 Gods of Vxorn" tome, and one that caught his eye, the "Terridan guide to making deities". He came to see what was it about. The book was fairly modern, dating from 230 KRE, from before Hakonians joined the Terridor Federation.

This book tells of an old practice which the book keeps repeating that it does happen if done properly. It is said that if you make a site of worship, like a pole or a building far from the city, and get at least 3 people to think of a deity, the deity actually comes into existance from a place called "Purgatory". It is sustained by belief, and if forgotten, the deity dies.

No Terridan has actually tried to make a god since 290 KRE, but Yedrihh was confused. A way to make an actual deity? It is known that in this universe, there are gods in some places, though extremely rare in the Kraw Galaxy, as only Terridans and Shargashians know how to create deities, hence the book.

Yedrihh copied the contents of the book into his datapad, and moved on to researching the Bogh. After a few hours, Yedrihh and Shinaefshk left the Library and returned back to Yedrihh's home.
