The Chronicle of Akakor
Now the Germans could attend the priests’ schools and learn of the bequest of the Gods. As the German
soldiers were proven in battle, the high council entrusted them with important administrative offices. Two
of their highest leaders assumed the office of supreme warlord. Another five were appointed members of the
meeting of elders. They each had a vote and were able to participate in decision making. Only the offices of
prince and high priest remained explicitly reserved for the Ugha Mongulala.

Thus did the high priest speak to the allies: "Do not be grieved that you will see your brothers
no more. You have lost them forever. For all eternity the Gods have separated you from them.
But do not be discouraged; be strong. Let us face our destiny together. Here we are, your new
brothers. Together let us serve the Ancient Fathers." And the German soldiers started to work.
To prove themselves in the eyes of the Gods, they took up their tools and did the same work as
the Chosen People.

The presence of the German soldiers changed the life of the Ugha Mongulala. With their mysterious tools
they built strong wooden houses. They made tables, chairs, and beds, and they improved the loom of the
Goths. They taught the women how to fashion new garments that cover the whole body. They showed the
men how to use their arms and how to make underground shelters. To provide for sufficient food in times of
need, they cleared the bush in the valleys, and planted corn and potatoes. They raised large herds of
mountain lambs in the high mountains. In this way, the supply of meat and wool was assured. But the
greatest innovation of the allies was the production of a mysterious powder made from stone and green
sand. Even a small quantity was sufficient to destroy a whole house. The Germans used this black powder,
as they called it, for their weapons. The invisible arrows were made from glowing iron. They poured it
through a sieve into a trough of cold water. Round bullets were formed on immersion, and these were the
invisible arrows of their guns.

With the passage of time, the German soldiers became increasingly assimilated into the community of my
people. They founded their own families and gave their sons the names of wild animals, strong trees,
rushing rivers, and high mountains, following the example of the Chosen Tribes. They fulfilled their war
duty, worked in the fields, and lived according to Lhasa’s rules. It appeared as though they might soon
forget their own country. But like the jaguar who always returns to his hunting grounds, they could not
obliterate the memory of Germany. At the end of each moon they met for a feast at Mount Akai, sang the
songs of their people, and drank fermented corn juice. Their leaders played chess. (This is what the German
