    • Chapter VII — The coming Race Cover
      by LovelyMay Chapter VII opens with the narrator settling into a private chamber once occupied by Zee, a space that diverges from the grandeur typically associated with the Vril-ya's architecture. Its design, understated yet purposeful, features walls covered in softly colored matting and a modest bed that suggests simplicity rather than luxury. A small aviary hums with life, filled with exotic birds whose songs form harmonies so refined they sound nearly orchestrated. The environment feels like a sanctuary for quiet…
    • Chapter IX — The coming Race Cover
      by LovelyMay Chapter IX opens with a revealing look at the dietary customs of the Ana, the people of this subterranean world, whose food choices reflect not only physical sustenance but moral principle. To consume the flesh of animals is viewed by them as repugnant, a regression into primitive cruelty. Instead, they nourish themselves with foods derived from complex vegetable compounds and mineral infusions. These are not simple crops as known on the surface but the result of calculated chemistry and botanical…
    • Chapter X — The coming Race Cover
      by LovelyMay Chapter X takes a bold step into exploring the balance of power between genders in a society unlike any on the surface. What immediately stands out is the presence of true parity between the sexes. From a young age, all individuals are given the same responsibilities and opportunities, whether in academic, social, or even defensive pursuits. This shared path allows every member of the community to develop based on merit and not biology. While the Gy-ei often display more pronounced strength and analytical…
    • Chapter XI — The coming Race Cover
      by LovelyMay Chapter XI introduces a puzzling observation from the narrator, who is amazed by the temperate climate in a world far below Earth's surface. Rather than experiencing the expected scorching heat predicted by mainstream geology, the subterranean environment feels much like the mild regions of southern Europe. This raises questions about the accuracy of surface-world science, which claims that heat rises consistently with depth. Even in valleys situated deep beneath the earth, the air remains breathable and…
    • Chapter XII — The coming Race Cover
      by LovelyMay Chapter XII begins with an analysis of the Vril-ya's language, which stands as a testament to their advanced cultural development and intellectual evolution. Unlike surface languages that often preserve archaic irregularities, theirs has moved toward clarity and simplicity without losing depth. Rooted in a foundation of monosyllabic words, the language evolved through stages of agglutination to sophisticated inflections, balancing brevity with layered meaning. Each word carries exact precision, and even…
    • Chapter XIII — The coming Race Cover
      by LovelyMay Chapter XIII begins by illuminating how the Vril-ya have woven their spiritual beliefs into the very structure of their lives, making religion a quiet strength rather than a source of division. Their worship is neither ceremonial nor overly complex, but it is deeply rooted in sincere reverence. The idea that the divine is ever-present, perceiving even the most fleeting thoughts, grants them a strong sense of inner discipline. Rather than appealing to an external force through elaborate rituals, they focus…
    • Chapter XIX — The coming Race Cover
      by LovelyMay Chapter XIX begins with a detour. As we returned toward the city, Taee suggested an alternate path that would take us past the central departure station used by travelers and emigrants. I agreed out of curiosity, eager to see more of this remarkable world. What awaited was a display of mobility unlike anything I’d encountered. The land transports, powered entirely by vril, ranged from small personal units to vast, multi-roomed homes on wheels. These vehicles moved silently, their motion graceful and…
    • Chapter XX — The coming Race Cover
      by LovelyMay Chapter XX marks a shift in tone as Taee’s visits to me became more frequent and more personal. His youthful nature, brightened by wit and genuine interest, stood in contrast to the more formal and cerebral demeanor of his elders. Though only around twelve in their years, his mind worked with astonishing precision. But unlike others of his race, he seemed to enjoy the novelty I presented. To him, I was a curiosity wrapped in humor—a living relic of a world so unlike his own. His kindness didn’t feel…
    • Chapter XXI — The coming Race Cover
      by LovelyMay Chapter XXI opens with a mounting tension that is less about danger and more about desire—specifically, Zee’s growing affection toward the narrator. Unlike the playful companionship he shares with Taee, Zee’s feelings are weighted by a gravity that unsettles him. Her interest is neither flirtatious nor naive; it is rooted in a protective, almost maternal instinct that merges affection with responsibility. She does not merely care—she invests, heals, and seeks to elevate. Her strength and wisdom…
