**Gateway to the Unknown**
**Scene 19: "The Red Spiral Galaxy" – Planet Xin Xin – "The Cozy House Behind the Hills"**
Behind the hills, there is a small modest house. Inside lives a family: a father, a mother, and their only child, along with a cute cat. Do you know who the little child with the cute cat is?… Well, it's **Thalj**.
Let's enter this small house and share some warmth with Thalj and his family.
Do not make any noise because we are invisible and do not want to disturb them. Observers, watch quietly.
It is morning. The mother has prepared breakfast: tea with pancakes, and the three of them gathered around a wooden table. The father was dressed in work clothes with a straw hat, ready to go to the orchard immediately after breakfast. As mentioned, they sat down and began having breakfast.
Mother: "Thalj, eat well and don't leave anything. Breakfast is important so you grow stronger."
Thalj: "Yes, Mom."
Then his parents began giving him more from their own portions.
Father: "Take another piece."
Thalj: "Dad, I have enough."
Father: "Be obedient. You must eat. Come on."
Thalj: "Okay."
Mother: "And one more piece. Here, take it… Your cup is empty, my son… Here, I'll pour some more tea for you."
Thalj: "Thank you, Mom."
No wonder he is their only child.
Thalj did not forget his friend, the cute cat lying under the table. Just as his parents cared for him, he cared for his cat as well. He shared part of his own portion of the pancakes, then got down from his chair, went under the table, and offered them to the cat.
He said to it: "Take it happily. Tell me if you are not full, agreed?"
He even offered it some tea.
Mother: "Thalj, my son… cats don't drink tea."
Thalj (happy): "He licked the tea from my cup… Dad, Mom… He says thank you, the food is delicious."
(Making reference to the cat)
Mother: "Say 'Bon appétit' to him."
Father: "Tell him to catch the mice… the mice are yours."
Cat: "Meeeow."
The whole family (Thalj, father, mother, and cat) went out to the orchard. The father dug and watered, while Thalj, with his cat rubbing against him, observed a worm between the grains of soil and shouted whenever he saw an insect.
Night fell… The mother and father were sitting in front of the fireplace, and the father threw logs in whenever the fire was about to die. They were talking about matters of the house and the orchard.
Thalj was lying in his mother's lap, and his cat was dozing in front of the fireplace. The mother began telling him the story of the scary wolf behind the hills, making him cling more to her lap and eventually fall asleep.
His eyes began to close and open repeatedly, resisting sleep, with drool spilling from his lips…
He murmured barely audibly: "The wolf behind the hills… the wo… the wo…"
Finally, he surrendered to sleep. Then the mother noticed her child was holding something tightly in one of his hands. She opened his hand… and what did she find?… Shall we leave the answer for the next episode?… You say no?… Alright.
She found some pieces of nuts that the warrior **Sadr Rizos** had given him yesterday.
At that moment, the mother remembered the warrior, known to everyone as **"The Wolf Warrior"**, and you will understand why later.
She said to herself: "Not all wolves are evil."
As we leave this house and the scene takes us toward the stars… the narrator speaks:
**Narrator:**
Behind the hills… a house whose door is not beaten violently… no screams of quarrels are heard around it…
Behind the hills… a family living together in peace, warmth, and happiness…
While he roamed secretly, far away, on Wolf Island… (Rizos)…
Follow the next episode of the hero, the warrior, fighter of the unknown.
