Chapter 12: Gracko
Who would have thought that a mere student of mythology would end up at the top of the food chain? If you had told him this a few years ago, he obviously wouldn't have believed it.
Khauin Gracko was a person who was born and grew up passionate about dragons, and he was always mocked for it. At school, he wanted to study them, but there were no such studies available, and when he tried to delve deeper, all he found was that dragons were merely mythology.
Khauin Gracko did not give up and sought everything that could prove that dragons really existed. However, one of the greatest barriers in his life was the lack of support and recognition that he was truly dedicated to something serious. Therefore, even before insisting on this area as a profession, he decided to study animal, plant, and mineral life intensively.
He acquired so much knowledge in these areas that in the distant future, he became known as an exceptional biologist at a time when biology didn't even exist on paper. Later, he astonished his community and society by declaring himself a full-fledged researcher of dracology, especially after changing his last name to Dracko, which simply meant dragon.
They laughed at him for a long time, but his efforts were rewarded years later, after the fall of a celestial body, when someone with a lot of money decided to support him. Dracko still remembers the day he had his first contact with what was left of the celestial body shattered in the Earth's atmosphere.
Patiently, for months, he collected small samples from the fallen trees due to the celestial body's explosion, as well as small debris embedded in various rocks. After all, everything would serve as a study, and he certainly wouldn't miss that unique chance in his life. He collected traces of ice and water from the impacted region and even samples of clay and mud when he suddenly had an idea. Presenting it to his secret financier, it was more than well-received.
With a large, well-trained construction team, they began making several excavations in the region, creating a set of large caves interconnected by underground tunnels, where everything considered important for his research would be taken. Millions of dollars were invested in his research, without anyone except his collaborators knowing about it. They were all well paid to keep their mouths shut if they decided to leave the project.
But no one had ever made so much money in the construction industry, so everyone behaved according to the required rules. The entire world was completely unaware of his important work, and it would remain that way until the right moment to reveal and show everyone that he was right and that dragons really existed.
This happened on June 13, 1908. However, when the first expedition led by Leonid Kulik managed to reach Tunguska in 1927, almost 20 years later, accompanied by local authorities, Dracko had already collected everything important. All traces of any invasion in that place had been erased by time and skillfully by the teams he commanded. Therefore, his installations remained there, several meters below the surface, staying undetectable and highly secret.
