Mityai Melnikov is firmly rooted in the past. At the cost of incredible efforts, alone, he created in the place where his hometown would appear in the distant future, a center of civilization. He had students - olrods, people who did not know how to hunt, but were distinguished by amazing abilities for learning, work and creativity. Thanks to a meeting with a local girl, a Vedla-hunter, he learned first from her, and then from another Vedla, old Kanshi, the craft of witchcraft and became a Vedla himself. It soon became clear that witchcraft not only helps hunters, but is also a powerful creative force if the witch finds its talking stones, and in combination with scientific knowledge can work real miracles. What took ordinary people many centuries to accomplish became possible in a matter of months, and Mityai, together with his students, began to create the Vedlov civilization. Very soon he gathered thousands of witches around him, and the day came when the Father of the People of Talking Stones set off with them on a long expedition to travel around the entire Earth and, while the ability to witchcraft was not lost, to give all ancient people new knowledge.
