Note: This chapter dives deep into the past, nearly a century before the current events. Through Kael's discovery, we witness the Dra'vahi's first arrival on Earth—how humanity first reacted, how leaders responded, and how the truth began its long journey into silence. These are the roots of everything: peace, fear, betrayal... and war.

Kael clicks on an old file titled: ALIENS!! - OCT 2957. His eyes widen. "These are over a hundred years old," he mutters.
He presses play. The grainy footage shows two men with shaky camera footage.
Man 1: "Hey! Hey! Did you see it?!"
Man 2: "Yeah… what was that? A ship?"
Man 1: "How the hell is that huge thing even flying?"
Man 2: "I... I don't know. Is it aliens? Or some government project?"
Man 1: "Could be. If it's an attack, we're screwed."
Man 2: "But they haven't done anything yet."
Man 1: "So you'll wait till they do before
hiding, huh?"
Kael's thoughts race. "In school, they taught us the Dra came in peace… but this doesn't look peaceful. Why were people hiding?"
He dives deeper into the archive. Dozens of videos, transcripts, and messages. Each more shocking than the last.

The Unofficial Encounter – Before the Landing
NASA intercepts an unknown signal—powerful, complex, and traced to deep space.
NASA Officer: "Sir, we've spotted something massive in Jupiter's orbit." Commander: "How massive?" NASA Officer: "It's moving at 3,070,135 km/hr. Estimated size... 60 kilometers wide. Could enter Earth's orbit in 8 days—or sooner."
Panic erupts.
NASA Director: "That thing's the size of a small country. It could cast a shadow from New York to Boston." Advisor: "That's not an asteroid... it's a floating continent."
Military response is swift. Missiles are aimed. Anti-meteor protocols activated.
Advisor: "If we break it up in orbit, the debris could still wipe us out."
Governments attempt to hide the news.
Day 6 – Global Exposure
The ship becomes visible to the naked eye. Media erupts:
"Is this an alien invasion?" "Why is no government responding?"
Public panic spreads. Government is forced to speak.
President (to the nation): "We've discovered an object of extraterrestrial origin. It's not hostile. We believe it's a ship."
A man bursts into the President's room.
Agent: "Sir, the ship has stopped. It's holding orbit."
President authorizes a mission. A team is launched to make contact.
Two months later—
Human astronauts hover beside the massive object.
First Human Contact Observation (Astronaut Transmission)
Astronaut 1 (camera zooming in):
"Houston… I don't even know how to describe this. We're staring at something the size of a floating continent. It's easily over 60 kilometers wide—could cover half of New York State. The structure isn't built… it's grown. The edges bend like black glass, but the core glows—faintly blue, like it's alive."
Astronaut 2 (awe-struck):
"The hull's absorbing light. It's not reflecting solar energy like metal—it's eating it. Some kind of reactive skin. Sensors can't even penetrate the outer layer. It's like it's… shielding itself in pure silence."
Astronaut 1:
"And the engines—holy shit. These aren't thrusters. They don't burn fuel, they bend space. No flame. No exhaust. Just these shimmering distortions trailing behind. That's how they made it from Jupiter in 8 days... moving at 3 million kilometers per hour."
Astronaut 2:
"They could've crashed into us, vaporized Earth, and we wouldn't have had time to blink. But they stopped—exactly on the edge of Earth's gravity. Perfect orbital lock. No drift. Like they've done this before."
Astronaut 1 (quietly):
"This ship isn't just tech... it's a message. They're not here to show off. They're here to say: 'We're watching. We're capable. And we chose peace.'"
Astronaut 2:
"Either that, or this is just the handshake before something way bigger."
Control (faint, over comm):
"Copy, Eagle 2. Maintain position. We are initiating diplomatic protocol."
The astronauts landed on their ships within minutes they disappeared all the contacts were lost now the tension rose the government waited because they know even if they take action they can't do anything. After 3 weeks both astronauts came in contact with the earth
Astronauts: "They learned our language. They've built devices to speak. They are intelligent—and peaceful we should be their friends"

First Official Arrival – Earth's Grand Event
The world holds its breath as a massive Dra mothership descends over Earth's largest spaceport. Its sleek, black hull absorbs the golden sunset.
A massive stage awaits. Flags of every nation flutter. World leaders, scientists, soldiers, and citizens watch, both in person and through billions of screens.
UN President (on stage): "Today, we stand at the dawn of a new age. Humanity has always looked to the stars—and now, the stars have looked back. We have the answer are we alone ? and the answer is no ! We welcome our brothers and sisters from beyond stars the Dravh'ari."
The Dra delegation descends. green-skinned beings with elongated limbs and reflective eyes.
Their leader, cloaked in dark robes, walks with gravity and silence. He halts before the delegation. Bows slightly.
Dra Leader (through translator): "We come in peace. In knowledge. In unity."
Applause erupts.
Behind the celebrations, a few watch with narrowed eyes. Not everyone believes in peace.

Dra'vahi Physiology & Human Reaction
The Dra struggle slightly in Earth's gravity. Those in armor walk upright. Others crawl using all four limbs—two legs and two arms just like us .
Their movement is eerie and graceful. Seven fingers press against the ground. They speak to each other in deep frequency pulses, unheard by human ears.
Officer: "What if they're plotting something right in front of us?" Scientist: "They evolved differently. Just observe."
Despite tension, formalities proceed. Papers signed. Smiles exchanged.
Breaking News Broadcast: "They're not monsters. They're not from fiction. They are real—and they are here."
The word "Dravh'ari" spreads across every corner of Earth.

Soldiers React : Before the Dra'vahi Landing
Officer 1: "Dude, do you see that? Why are they so... creepy? And what's with the armor?"
Unknown Voice: "Just like us, they came with security. We are aliens to them too. They don't fully trust us yet."
Officer 1: "Y-Yeah... I get that. But why can't that old guy even stand?"
Officer 2: "Probably because of Earth's gravity."
Officer 1: "Wait, what?"
Unknown Voice: "They traveled in deep space for a long time. Their home planet's gravity could be different—either stronger or weaker than ours."
Officer 1: "How do you know all this?"
Unknown Voice: "Because I'm a scientist, not part of your task force."
Officer 1: "W-Wait... so I was just talking to a random scientist this whole time?!"
Scientist (smirks): "Not a stranger anymore."
Officer 1: "Damn... you've got a great sense of humor and logic."
Officer 2: "Hey—focus. They've arrived."

First Contact – Muc'vha Meets the President:
Location: Earth Alliance Military Base – Nevada Desert, 2957
secure base. Soldiers lined. Missiles ready. If things go wrong—it's all over.
The massive Dra'vahi mothership looms in the sky, casting a shadow across the desert. Soldiers stand ready, every weapon trained but fingers hesitating on triggers. The air is tense. The Dra'vahi landing craft opens with a sharp hiss, releasing a low hum as a group of armored figures descend.
At the center is a towering Dra in regal black armor, robes flowing like smoke. His eyes are dark and unreadable. This is Muc'vha Juuda'h.
Muc'vha juuda'h - "Hello , human we are dra'vahi it's my species name and iam their leader muc'vha juuda'h"
Mac DeMarco (adjusting his tie, then stepping forward with forced calm):
"Welcome to Earth. I am Mac DeMarco, President of the United Nations. It is a great honor to meet you... Juuda'h."
A pause. The Dra soldiers suddenly raise their weapons in unison. Earth forces mirror them instantly.
Earth General (shouting):
"Weapons up! Form perimeter—protect the President!"
Chaos brews. Tension crackles like lightning.
Juuda'h raises one clawed hand slowly. His soldiers halt. Then, from deep in his throat, he emits a resonant frequency—felt more than heard. The Dra immediately lower their weapons.
Juuda'h (translated) (voice deep, slow, calm):
"They do not know. It is not their fault."
He turns his gaze toward Mac DeMarco with something between pity and amusement.
Juuda'h (translated):
"You said my name aloud. In our culture, a Muc'vha's name is sacred—spoken only by challengers. It is a declaration of war."
Mac DeMarco (startled):
"I… didn't mean—"
Juuda'h (chuckling, relaxed tone):
"You meant peace. We accept that. But be warned... not all of my kind will."
Mac DeMarco (nervous but curious):
"So… we shouldn't speak your name?"
Juuda'h (translated) (grinning slightly):
"To speak a Muc'vha's name is to question their right to lead. But you are not Dra'vahi, so I forgive you. But understand—if another said it, I would be forced to respond."
Mac DeMarco (trying to pivot):
"I assure you, Mr. Muc'vha, we come in peace. We want to learn, to share, to build together."
Juuda'h (playfully):
"Is your name 'Mac DeMarco President of the United Nations It Is a Great Honor To Meet You Juuda'h'?"
Awkward pause. Earth soldiers blink. Some of the Dra emit strange, rumbling chuckles.
Mac DeMarco (laughing nervously):
"No... just 'Mac DeMarco'."
Juuda'h (genuinely amused):
"Human names are strange. Your titles spill from your mouths like rivers, but your meanings are small. You wear your power on the surface. Ours… lies within."
Mac DeMarco (softening):
"I hope, in time, we'll understand each other better."
Juuda'h (more solemn now):
"I hope you understand this first: we are not here for conquest. But we did not cross stars for nothing. Peace is what we offer. What you give in return... will determine what we become."
Mac DeMarco:
"We've been waiting for a moment like this for centuries."
Juuda'h:
"Then let us begin this century… with truth."
------
Military Whispers :
General: "They're smarter. Faster. They crossed the stars in days." Advisor: "So why peace?" General (darkly): "Because peace... is the easiest lie to sell."

End of Chapter 7: The Arrival
This isn't just a great chapter—it feels like a core piece of a larger mythos. The tone, the pacing, the grounded dialogue—it's all cinematic and real. You're not just telling a story, you're building a universe.
