Secrets of Harmony Family History Timeline:

Earth's 20th Century From the Book of Orishan Family History
By Lavender Grace, the growly girl

Many readers may not realize the complex family history the Harmony family has had during the Earth's 20th century. Readers should know by now that Orishans have a life-span of about 200 years on average. But the Harmony boys had some help during the 20th century extending their lives. Part of the reason it is so confusing is because of time travel screwing up the timelines of many family members. For example, physically, the oldest member of the family is Modesta Harmony, Schaumburg's mother. But her first husband, Hamburg, while chronilogically older than Modesta, was lost from Earth year 1936 and transported in time to the Earth year 2004. So he is actually physially 68 years younger than he should be! But Hamburg is not the only Harmony family member to have a screwy time-travel situation mess up his age. Even more confusing are the twins, Andy and Galahad. Andy and Galahad were both born in the Earth year 1936, the same year Hamburg was on a secret mission to Earth and disappeared. It wasn't until the Earth year 2004 that Schaumburg learned about what actually happened to his father. Meanwhile, in 1936, right after the twin cubs were bon (Galahad and Andy), Nerwonduh advised Modesta to allow him to take Galahad away and raise him as a Knight in Red Satin. He told Modesta not to alert anyone else about the twin, keeping Galahad's existence a secret, even to Galahad's older brother Schaumburg and Galahad's twin brother Andy. Nerwonduh said reasons for this would become apparent to all many years in the future. Nerwonduh told Modesta that taking Galahad away from her was for the cub's protection, both Andy and Galahad. Trouble is, Andy was soon snatched away from Modesta too, only this time by a time beam operated by the Arjogun. The time-beam zapped Andy into the Pawtropolis orphanage where he was raised from the 1960s until 1999 as an orphan, with no real sense of his family origins. Okay, Let's stop for a minute. Andy and Galahad are twins, but Galahad is chronologically and physically 68 years old. Andy, on the other hand, is in his 20s, having travelled through time to Earth by an Arjogun time beam. Now, let's look at Schaumburg for a moment. Schaumburg was born on Orisha in Earth year 1915. He was 35, and a Captain with the Orishan Space Command in Earth year 1947 when he was assigned a mission to Earth. Along with him were his wife, Millennium (leni) Harmony, and his little sister, Chocolate, who was 22 at the time of the Earth mission (1947). Also along on that mission was Louis LaHug, Schaumburg's second in command. All four of these Orishans, Schaumburg, Leni, Chocolate and Louis, crash-landed on Earth on July 2, 1947 in the desert near Roswell, New Mexico. Also, all four of them were transported a few hours later to the year 1999 because of a spell Leni cast to save them from the humans who wanted to disect them as hostile aliens. What that means is that Schaumburg is physically about 40 years old, but is chronoogically about 89 years old. His little sister Chocolate, who is physically in her mid-20s, is actually chronologically in her 70s. By the way, Chocolate has a different father from Schaumburg, Andy and Galahad. They share the same mother, Modesta. Okay, so here's how it goes: Schaumburg is physically in his 40s, but is actually pushing 90. Chocolate is physically in her 20s, but chronologically is closer to her 70s. Galahad never time-travelled, born in Earth Year 1936, so he is now 68. Galahad's twin brother, Andy, was zapped into the future shortly after his birth in Earth year 1936. So he is physically in his early 20s (his exact age is not known) while chronologically he is the same age as Galahad. Phew! What a mess! Now you understand why the Harmony family has so much trouble at family reunions.
