After a military conflict in a distant galaxy between the Zots and the Mitharians, the remnants of the losing race ended up on planet Earth. Fleeing from persecution, they built a reliable Shelter and fell into centuries-long hibernation, leaving the only Zotarian on the planet named Kron in Staat. From him came the race of half-humans, half-zots, which has survived to this day. The awakening of the surviving Zots and the revival of prehistoric civilization depended on the chosen descendant living in our time. Using his blood, Nikolai Smirnov awakened the remnants of the race, and in gratitude for this, the Zots accepted him into their ranks, giving him the name Zor in Staat. Soon the Zoterians discovered a ship safely hidden in the Caucasus mountains with three representatives of the Mithar race they hated. The priest of the Zijim caste recognized Ares as a descendant of Kron, who in ancient times killed Maatshi, the daughter of the priest Raashum. In a judicial duel, Zor in Staat defeated Mithar, but was poisoned by the poison of the snake-headed priest, and in order to avoid a painful death he went on a long and dangerous journey.
