personified male Gods and some contempt to the worshippers of Goddesses. Very soon this
               attitude of indifference or contempt, when not just of rejection, that the Golems dispensed to
               the Goddess, would enter in collision with such particular form that the Iberian people had
               adopted in the Cult of Belisana.
                      But they counted, certainly, with the support of the Potencies of the Matter. In other
               form, their success could not be explained; due to  in relatively short time, they achieved to
               dominate the populaces of Hispania, and, inclusive, Hibernia, Britain, Armorica and Gaul. Even
               by the increasing  power of the Golem, their  sinister doctrine would have  not produced  any
               harm to the Lords of Tharsis, always disposed to accept all that contributed to improve the
               practice of the Cult. Were not the sacrifices of the One what determined the luck of my family
               but other activity that the Golems realized with great energy: they attempted by every means,
               to fulfill the second part of the Cultural Pact. It means that, even though it was not necessary
               to make the war with the populations of the Pact of Blood anymore, because they were already
               culturally defeated, still remained intact many megalithic works of the White Atlanteans, and
               that constituted «a sin that cried to Heaven». «The populations of the Cultural Pact missed to
               their compromises with the Gods and that guilty would be severely punished»; nevertheless,
               and by luck for them, existed a solution: to practice the Sacrifice with the major rigor, and help
               the Golems in the fulfillment of the mission. In other words, the native populations had now to
               be consecrated to the Sacrifice, sacrifice themselves and sacrifice and, as a reward, the Golems
               would release them from the Divine punishment executing the destruction of the megalithic
               works  or their neutralization. This would be all, if it was not because the Gods had made a
               warning  and  who  disobeyed  it  would  risk  to  be  destroyed  without  mercy  in  an  exemplary
               punishment of men: what would be not forgotten in no way thence, due to the Patience of the
               Gods was exhausted, was the remembrance of the Pact of Blood and the quest for the Wisdom.
               That was the forbidden, the abominable for the eyes of the Gods. But the most forbidden and
               most abominable, an irredeemable sin, was without doubts the desire to conserve the Stone of
               Venus,  would  suffer  the  sentence  of  the  extermination,  i.e.,  he  would  pay  with  the
               destruction of his lineage, with the annihilation of all the members of the Lineage.
                      It is not necessary to say that the Golems obtained very soon almost all the Stones that
               still continued in the hands of the native populations.
                      Contrarily  to  the  Priests  of  the  Cult,  they  only  remitted  some  of  them  to  the  White
               Fraternity: others were reserved to be used in magical acts, because they boasted to know their
               secrets and use it in behoof of their plans; and to them denominated, pejoratively, serpent
               eggs. The Lords of Tharsis, it is clear, never trusted in the Golems neither were intimidated by
               their threats. But the Wise Sword was a reality that had converted in popular legend and which
               could  not  be  seriously  denied:  the  Golems  suspected  from  the  beginning  that  in  such  arm
               existed a secret vestige of the Pact of Blood. Because the Lords of Tharsis not acceded to give it
               voluntarily, and that it could not be bought at any price, decided to apply against them all the
               resources of the magic, the diabolic powers of the Power of the Matter. And here the surprise of
               the Golems was huge because they realized that such powers couldn't do anything against the
               demential  Fire  that  turned  on  the  blood  of  the  Lords  of  Tharsis.  The  madness,  warrior  or
               mystical, which distinguished them as unpredictable and indomitable men, situated them also
               out of the reach of the magic spells of the Golems. They had no other choice, according to their
               demonic  designs,  than  to  appropriate  by  force  the  Wise  Sword  and  condemn  the  House  of
