      NUNUPI

      UNUU

      Chapter I

      Wehkinitu

      Somewhere on the edge of the Milky Way galaxy, there is a small void created by a vaporized planet. The only known survivors of the vaporization were the Unuu (creature), a spider species, who escaped before the calamity. Humans and other life forms once inhabited the planet which was known as Earth, but the humans didn’t cause their own demise. The Yaakuru (takers) had been there, too.

      What happened? Earth was there then it wasn’t.

      The Yaakuru came from the unknown and taught greed and hate. For centuries, human prophets and sages warned of the Yaakuru’s evil ways. But many humans stayed on the road to ruin; they worshiped golden relics, black liquid, and the Yaakuru themselves. It wasn’t long until the humans became thirsty for power and control. They began to destroy the land, developed weapons of mass destruction, and spread diseases; eventually decimating all life and ravaging the entire planet.

      The Unuu were on Earth before humans and long before the Yaakuru appeared. The Unuus’ habitat in the remote mountains and forests allowed them to have no contact with humans until machines began to invade the Unuus’ home. The humans’ machines ate up the sides of mountains, dug massive holes, cut down trees, and poisoned the air and waters. As a result, there were extreme earthquakes, flooding, and fires. The Unuu had survived many natural Earth changes, but they couldn’t survive the onslaught of humans and their machines.

      Because their ecosystem was crumbling and eventually would be gone, and sensing Earth’s ultimate collapse, the Unuu held a conclave and decided to leave. Their odds of survival were slim. However, there was no choice but to go. Thousands of Unuus came together and transformed themselves into hundreds of indestructible transparent red glass-like orbs of different diameters, able to defy gravity and navigate anywhere by collective instinct and energy. They jettisoned themselves out into the universe in search of a planet like the home they once knew.

      After traveling through space for millennia, some Unuu found new homes. Many were still wehkinitu (searching) and there was an urgency to find a home before exhausting their collective energy. They were determined to survive. Seven of the orbs discovered a red planet called EkaSokobi (red earth) in a solar system similar to the one they had abandoned so long ago.

      EkaSokobi, which has two moons, is in the M31 Andromeda galaxy. It is one of nine planets orbiting a central star and it has many categories of life and races of human beings. A race of humans called the Numi (people) have lived here since the creation.

      The seven Unuu orbs, in a triangular formation, slowly descended into the red atmosphere. Thus they began their orbit around EkaSokobi, eventually locating a small mountain range surrounded by prairie. Zigzagging and circling, they landed on the side of the tallest mountain. The climate and rocky terrain were suitable and the Unuus’ typical prey, small flying and crawling insects, were plentiful. The orbs quickly transformed back into spiders and scattered over the mountain. At home at last between the rocks and boulders, the Unuu felt
