About the book: year / Leader phrase: I look at the crown crowning the head of Tane-Ra, the crown that now crowns the head of my stone creation, and whisper: “Here is a killer, a hundred times more dangerous than any villain!” And the widow of the Ruler says: “Don’t deceive yourself, Tassatio! This excuse is worthy only of a youth who does not know how to answer for his actions! You once served the temple, but the thirst for power clouded your eyes. You have become a criminal in front of my husband. Now you have killed him too. Don’t you dare say it’s out of love for me!” From the book: I won’t look back at that damned third planet: I made this vow to myself back in prison, the day before the sentence was put into effect. I won’t - that’s all. Everything that awaits me in the near future does not promise a return. And I don’t care! I looked out. An endless black space without top and bottom, without “right” and “left”. Like a scattering of mica plates soldered into black volcanic glass, the stars sparkle further and closer. Worlds, worlds, worlds... From here everything looks different, but recognizable. Let it all go to waste, except for that one... It drills into me with its only reddish eye, it waits... My homeland, my Ala, Burning... Yes, I’m coming, I’m coming! Coming soon... Note: This is a one-way ticket. This is a victory of spirit and will over the mortal and base. This is the legend about the Allians, told by Tesseten in the final part of “The Soulguard” and included in the plot of the play staged in Kula-Ori... Return to Alu is a midquel to the novel Exile of Eternity, which better explains its events
