A brief history of the origin
of the Twin Bell Towers of The Kingdom of Rowan
These historic Twin Bell Towers of Rowan, have most profound meaning for almost every citizen of the Kingdom of Rowan. They who deeply appreciate their heritage from their forefathers, have long since revered this innovative landmark of great renown, for its magnificent beginnings, its uniting symbol of righteousness, its prestigious design, and its momentous usefulness in keeping and governing the time in this prosperous land.
Its bells have faithfully rung on every given hour, from 7am to 7pm, since the day of its dedication and inauguration, precisely 100 years ago, in the year 965 yF. They did so faithfully every year, until one frightful night, when an event took place in the kingdom of Rowan, exactly 40 years ago from this very day, the day of the King’s Fair, which fair takes place every year on the date of the anniversary of the Twin Bell Towers.
This unexpected event, which would inevitably change the lives of the people of the Kingdom of Rowan forever, by opening a door to a hidden knowledge, understanding, and wisdom, which had been known by the noble ancients of long ago, but which had been slowly lost, because of wickedness among the people of the earth. This ancient, and powerful knowledge, had the potential, to remarkably, and tremendously bless and better the lives of the peoples of the Kingdom of Rowan, and all others if used rightly, forever. Thus, brightening and unifying the land, through providing hidden treasures of knowledge, and unparalleled marvelous opportunities, to enhance their future, in bright, and stunning ways.
On the North face of the West Bell Tower of Rowan, inscribed in metal, on a granite memorial placard, is written a brief, yet compelling history of how these beautiful twin towers came to be. The inscription reads as follows:
These Twin Bell Towers of Rowan, having been constructed as a gift from the great King Rama of the Kingdom of Rahue, from the Western region, on this the continent of Jain-Mercedes, for the great King Gordan and his people of the Kingdom of Rowan, of the Central region, signify that these two kingdoms are friends, kindred, and peaceful allies.
This because of the glorious deeds performed by the King, Prince and people of Rowan from the Central Region, for the king, whose name is King Rama, his son Prince Gilbert, and their kingdom and people of Rahue to the West.
This, for as King Rama’s Western Kingdom was surrounded under the siege of attack, by the hands of a numerous clan of ferocious neighboring bandits, he sent out his son Prince Gilbert, with command of their superior knights, to thwart off their attack, and help restore peace and unity to his kingdom. Prince Gilbert did so, and having succeeded, he drove them out, pushing them far away into the East, even into the borders of Rowan, where no small surprise came.
To Prince Gilbert’s awful realization, as he was in the very pursuit of victory, his forces were unmercifully ambushed by another organized entity, the Mandricks, who were a deadly barbaric tribal force. These tribes, festered and brooded in the wilderness, ever planning and plotting new ways to gain more power unto themselves over others, through gain and intrigue, devising organized attacks, to offset their enemy’s main thrust, and thus bring the balance of the fight into their own favor. These attacks were always successful, and raised the proper fear, to accomplish their designs.
Furthering his fear, and to Prince Gilbert’s utter dismay, these two dangerous opponents, the bandits and the Mandricks, did join forces, and combined their imposing attack.
Prince Gilbert’s weary residue of surviving soldiers, having suffered much from their long march, and grueling battles, bravely geared up to face this newest enemy, and to their credit, they fought bravely. However, as bold as they may have been, in fighting nobly this wearying battle, nothing could have prepared them for what was to come.
In utter shock, horror, and deflating bewilderment, they beheld yet another adversary, in the form of the largest tyrannous group on the Monocratic continent, known as the Shizors.
Now, collectively, the Mandricks, who had secretly and subserviently joined allegiance with the Shizors, who were known abroad in the land for their laying siege to entire kingdoms, and conquering status, continually rampaging to expand their own powers of unrighteous dominion, and together, under the design of the Shizors, the Mandricks, and the new allegiance of the unquenched bandits, all combined their strength and numbers, to march onward, and seize the entire Kingdom of Rahue to the West. This to lay waste to their goodly land, reap the spoils, and confidently gain a military stronghold, fit for a bloodthirsty brotherhood.
All to Prince Gilbert’s sinking fear and desperate despair, his troops were about to relinquish, and when all hope was about trodden under the foot of heavy march, Prince Gilbert was then met with a glorious surprise and favor. For while in dire need, in this their time of uttermost trial, Prince Gilbert in amazement, realized hope!
For, from the darkest abyss to the most wondrous of ways, his astounding rescue in relief came.
The citizens of Rowan, who were in their farmlands on the outskirts of their kingdom, harvesting their crops in their fields, witnessed some of these battling, struggling, wounded, and desperate knights of Rahue in great need of aid, and mercifully, bravely, and boldly, undertook to their assistance, in haste.
The people of Rowen rushed onward, upon their fastest steeds, to inform their king, King Rama, and his beloved son, Prince Gordan, that this unjust travestied was taking place.
Having made themselves aware of the Mandricks’, Shizors’ and bandit clan’s divergent plans to conquer the Kingdom of Rahue, through stratagem and scrutiny, they quickly launched into action, for some of these went on to inform their King, while the rest interceded, by pleasingly posing as neutral and naïve friends, hoping to keep the peace with these enemies.
Through stratagem, they offered a peace drink offering to all the tyrant leaders, who, not wanting to pass up such a proposition, but with no intention of honoring their part of the truce, they freely partook. These drinks were prepared in their strength, to achieve the desired taste, and outcome, were administered to with a portion of plant herb known as hamactin.
This herb, used by many homestead physicians to remove infectious fungus on feet, was not fit for consumption, and incapacitated their leader’s speech, making it slurred unrecognizably. It also created a measure of lethargy, which made it easier to destroy them down through their ranks.
Having thus wrought upon the enemy’s leaders, resulting in a lack of battle commands and confusion, as well as fatigue, the Mandricks, Shizors and deadly bandit clan, slowly began to fall, and were beaten back.
Further, in the assistance given by King Gordan of Rowan, whom having received word from his watchful farmers, that the enemies were coming, provided great help, in sending out his son Prince Germain, with all his noble knights and warriors.
With the added strength given from these allies, and their glorious intercession, the three tyrannous groups, whom alone were known as the most deadly of forces and foes, slowly began to fall, as the valiant knights dispersed by King Rama, successfully achieved in turning back the heavy tide of the battle line.
Finally, the bandits, Mandricks, and a significant number of the Shizors were slain, and outfought, for they had sent the largest portion of their army onward, to continue their planned invasion and attack on the Kingdom of Rahue to the West, thinking they could still take it, for they left the rest of their diminished forces behind, with which they had hoped to end the conflict, but soon this was not so.
While the forces of Prince Gilbert of Rahue and Prince Germain of Rowan were still conquering, the king of Rowan, King Gordan, was standing upon his watch tower, gathering intelligence to help serve in the battle, and from this vantage point, he saw the split off group of the Shizors’ marching in movement to the West.
He then perceived their plans of departure, and hurriedly sent word to his son Prince Gordan, to head them off, and thwart their planned invasion on Rahue. He also sent a hurried embassy to forewarn King Rama by way of messenger scouts, that the Shizors’, who were already preparing to engage in embattlement, were on their way forth to attack.
Making things even worse for the oncoming Shizors, King Rama of Rahue, had just received new recruits to his army, who when they were met in their front by the new forces of King Rama, and at their rear by Prince Gordan’s forces, the Shizors ultimately met with a tragic end.
For on Rahue’s own soil, King Rama’s fresh and well prepared army, as well as Prince Gordan, with his knights and nobles, dominated over their enemies so powerfully and victoriously, that the Shizors finally fell, and great was the fall thereof!
Their numbers having been drastically reduced through embattlement, the Shizors were considered conquered, along with the Mandricks and bandits, and with this huge feat accomplished in the land, it gave way to hope for many other righteous kingdoms in the land, to spread forth their goodly reign and rule, without the fear of tyranny.
To ever after give an appreciation to the King and people of Rowan, for their heroic acts of liberating dominance, as well as their beloved bravery, I, King Rama, anointed under the hand of my father King Royel, do now signify on this fine granite and silver-plated memorial placard, that these two great kingdoms, symbolized by these two magnificent bell towers, Rahue in the West, and Rowan to the East, are seminal, kindred, and choicest of friends.
I King Rama, hereby do humbly dedicate these lofty twin bell towers, built and hallowed by the craftsmanship and gentlemen of Rahue, for the people and kingdom of Rowan. Hereupon the establishment of our union of beloved fellowship, harmony and trade.
To further the appreciation of King Gordan and Rowan’s people, a clock has been built and established in the Eastern tower, facing the East, to live as a legacy of friendship, and to help govern the affairs of this people in this part of the land.
Furthermore, to help ever remind its people, of the bravery and honorable deeds of their forbearers, and to inspire them to do likewise.

Chapter 1
The Twin Bell Towers
The people of the Kingdom of Rowan were all amazed! Their twin bell towers had been ringing all morning! From 6am until the current time, it now being 7:10am. At the time of this new excitement, Shrad, the town’s Bell Towers’ trustee, had enlisted the help of his youngest son Heroum, a lad of fifteen, to help examine the cause of this tumult.
“Heroum, we must do something about this constant dreadful ringing!” he stoutly shouted above the bewildering noise, “It’s up to us!”
“Yes father, it’s upsetting all the town’s people! Let’s go and put a stop to this!”
Shrad had been at the towers all last evening, finishing the installation of some new equipment, and realigning the gears and mechanisms, to work without losing any of the clockwork’s timing in-between. As the privileged and respected trustee of the towers, Shrad, a father of four, feared that the new equipment had either been faulty, or incorrectly installed.
Because the tower’s trusteeship ran through family line, Shrad, along with his three sons, were the only ones given the responsibilities for maintaining the functionality and cleanliness of the bells and towers inside and out. Shrad, due to the ethics code he had been brought up under, and the obligation to then teach and train his sons in all the ways of the towers, the same way he was taught and trained by his own father, and he by his grandfather, brought along his youngest son Heroum. This was so, that when they were of age, one of them could take the mantle, and covenant responsibility of the towers.
As Shrad and Heroum embarked to discover the cause of the ringing, the two knew this was not going to be an easy fix. After having been taught many things about the towers, from previous trustees, including discovering hidden secrets, they felt certain they could make things work.
“Father, this ringing is so loud, it’s hurting my ears!” Shouted Heroum over the piercing powerful echoing noise.
“Yes, and it will make it difficult for us to thoroughly inspect the gears,” Shrad cried, “but we must do our best. The people of Rowan are counting on us!”
The twin bell towers of Rowan were built to last, made of brick, and stone, cemented and set forth, fortified in the structure in which the bricks were laid, making them exceedingly strong.
Each tower was identical in formation, but not in design, for the inner workings, as well as parts of the outside appearance, had special significant markings, of ancient design. While only the East tower bore a clock, known across the land for its grand and meticulous design, both towers were laden with bells. Their acoustic design, as well as the surrounding landscape, caused a resonation which could be heard by much of the outreaching lands and kingdoms.
Shrad and Heroum, confidently climbed the steep steps of the towers’ lower edifice, carefully inspecting all the gear work along the way. Higher and higher they each climbed, insuring that every little mechanism was properly in sync. When they reached the upper most platforms within the towers, having found no success, they half crazily came storming down the stairwells, desperate to find relief from the intense ringing.
“The bells are making it too unbearable to continue,” said Shrad, “but something has to be done!”
The people of Rowan were looking to Shrad and his son for help. Some were highly troubled, even staring accusingly at Shrad and Heroum, as if asking them why the problem had not yet been resolved. Others, were already trying to go on, as if accustomed to the loud sounding bells, but strangely and honestly, somewhere deep inside, each citizen, mysteriously felt, that something much more than these bells was awry.
“Son, do you know what this means?” asked Shrad, above the blaring of the towers’ bells.
“Yes Dad, the switch.”
“That’s right Heroum! We must pull the secret lever switch.”
The lever switch was first discovered by Shrad’s father Naham, who upon examination, was able to deduce its ability to allow the clock gears to manually reset, which would then allow them to realign them, and thus, as they had hoped in this case, reset the bells, to stop their incessant ringing.
Shrad and Heroum had no other alternative. With this disruption of the town’s people’s lives, he knew he must pull the towers’ secret lever, which by Shrad’s knowledge, had never been pulled before.
Having been taught many secrets of the towers by his own father and grandfather, Shrad now had the opportunity to teach these things to his sons. The mystery and secrets of these towers is clearly taught and known by the Griffin family trustee line, but what Shrad and his forbearers did not know, was what caused these few unexplained phenomena which had taken place. So strange had these actions and certain outcomes of the towers and their inner workings at different times been, that Shrad had almost believed, that the towers had a life of their own.
Shrad and his sons were the only ones who knew of the lever’s existence, and with the towers’ secret lever pulled, in minutes the bells did finally stop ringing, and Shrad, and Heroum, discovered, that once they had manually reset the gears, according to the family’s tower’s known specifications, and the lever repositioned back into its functional position, the clock and its gears worked fine, and were back on track.
This was such a huge relief for the kingdom of Rowan, and especially so, since today’s events all centered on the people’s gathering together for participating in, and celebrating in the King’s own Fair.
At the success of the silencing of the bells, Shrad said to his son Heroum, “I hope now we won’t have to worry about these towers ringing in this way ever again.”
“Me too, but at least we know what to do if they do.” slighted Heroum.
“Indeed, but I still want to investigate more, and see if I can find out what might have been the cause of this havoc in the first place.” Shrad said.
Shrad and his family, along with the entire Kingdom of Rowan, were highly relieved at the silencing of the bells, yet to their uneasiness, it still seemed as though an eerie echo of warning still remained.
Although things had resumed to routine, the citizens could only sense that the end of this mystery was far from over, and as they would soon find out, there was something more precious and valuable to these towers, than they could have ever possibly imagined. For in it, they would discover a secret that would transform their whole world, their understanding of life, and the way they would then live it.
Chapter 11
The King’s Fair
This very day was to be the towers’ one-hundredth year anniversary, and was to be celebrated with a special king’s fair in the land, with festivities, food, and the appearance of the Queen’s court. All of this excitement was to begin promptly at 10am, and go until dark.
With this unusual start to their day, the people of Rowan were grateful, and excited with anticipation to begin their celebration.
On this wondrous day of their tower’s anniversary, which happened every five years, Heroum had long since made a deal with himself, that he was going to enter into the gauntlet contest, which if he won, he would have the opportunity to dance with Princess Lorena, at the Royal Ball, and have his name written in the King’s Book of Times.
This achievement was the highest honor one could receive as a lad in Rowan. Each person who won this competition, was also then granted the opportunity to improve his classmen-ship, through education, opportunity, and a royal apprenticeship training, personally provided by the king’s court.
Because Heroum had risen so early to the sound of the ringing bells, which began their noise at 6:00am, instead of their 7am normal chiming, he had extra time before the festivities to do his chores, and then practice once again for the gauntlet contest, as he had done so many times before. In preparation for this great opportunity, Heroum had used a large portion of his young free time, to run the rigors of the course, and utilize his opportunities in the off seasons, to practice winning, until he became of age.
His great excitement in celebrating the kingdom’s grand fair, came from the prospect, that now that he was old enough to participate in the gauntlet contest, he also might win it.
As he had practiced all year ‘round, and prepared with growing confidence, he felt ready and able, that he might truly win. He also desired to have the dance with Princess Lorena, and besides this, if he could win this honor, he could guarantee himself that the assignment of the tower’s trustee would go on to one of his brothers.
Once things got back on track, and into gear, the kingdom resumed preparations and readiness for the fair, and everyone was in a spirit of joyful communion, ablaze with excitement, and mutual appreciation for their many blessings. The atmosphere was electric, and kinship among the people of Rowan at this most wonderful time was always unprecedented.
Chapter 111
A Distant Cry
Forty years ago, a young merchant had once been attracted to Rowan, because of reputable mention among buyers there. Upon his arrival, it was the Kings Fair, and as he set up his wares. he began to have covetous desires in his head, for all the other wares being sold. After he had begun to deal treacherously with the community, and had stolen some of the town’s people’s commodities, as well as their trust he was seized upon.
At this point, the citizens of Rowan rallied to bring him to justice, and he was exacted of his crimes, and sentenced to be held captive until the first new moon of the year, upon which day was 30 days after the 60th year anniversary of the Twin Bell Towers. When the day of his liberty came, he left the kingdom, having lost his fear of justice, never to return, and as he did so, the West bell tower bells rang once, and then did not ring again on their appointed times, until finally newer equipment was put in, and the gears realigned.
Now, every five years, on the day of each new succeeding fifth year anniversary, the town’s towers’ trustee replaces and installs newer essential equipment, realigns the gears, mechanisms, and timers as needed, and does a thorough cleaning, to ensure that the bells and clock never break down, as they did that fateful year, forty years ago.
The towers were to be kept ever functional and bright, by each succeeding trustee, and because the kingdom truly respected the Griffin family line, they were chosen for this stewardship.
It had originally been assigned to them because of Heroum’s great grandfather, Marksit, who had fought in the original war against the Shizors, in that same great and legendary battle against the trio of tyrants, by the kingdoms of Rahue and Rowan. His great grandfather was by trade, both a brick mason, and a clock maker, and was noted for his epic original designs. So it was he, who in the making of the towers, the people of the Kingdom of Rahue, had utilized him and his special profession, in the involvement of much of the consultation for the making of the original plans of the towers.
It was because of this, that he was readily chosen by the people to be the Trustee, and he was anointed under the hands of King Gordan, to be so.
These famous twin bell towers are not without magnificent reputation however, and even legends about this glorious landmark have begun to be attached.

Chapter One
Beautiful Life, Ashes and Strife
We all lived in heaven, with everyone there, Father, Mother, brothers and sisters. We loved it there. So many friendly faces, so much to do.
I loved spending time with Father. He would hold me in His arms and say, “Sharloma, you are one of my special children, my precious daughter. One day you will be like me.”
“Be like you?” I would ask.
“Yes.” He would always say. This always gave me such great comfort and joy. I always wanted so much to be like my Father. He had a body that was so fascinating. He could feel, and generate warmth. Father also knew anything I would ask Him.
Then one day, Father called a meeting for all to attend. Everyone came, to hear Father’s words, feel His love, and learn of His plan, the plan that everyone had begun talking about.
“Please listen, all my precious children.” He began, “I have thought long and hard about how I might help you my children experience greater happiness. As you know, I have had the experience to have a body, and raise you my children. This has brought me so much great joy. I so much want this for each of you, but there is only one way to do this, and the way is very hard.
“I will, however, give you your choice. You do not have to accept my plan for your happiness, but if you do not, you will find no other way to receive these great blessings.”
After telling us many things about the plan, its test, and our bodies, among other things, Father closed the meeting with sharing His beautiful personal testimony, and we all went back to our homes, praising His name.
It wasn’t long however, before I could hear some voices out on the street. Not knowing what was going on, I looked out my window and saw my brother Lucifer, talking with some of his friends. He was talking something about a better way. This bothered me.
“What better way could Lucifer know than Father?” I thought to myself.
Then, along came my closest friend of all my siblings, Jehovah.
“Let us not be confused.” He stated, “Our Father, is only giving us the only possible way, to obtain all the happiness and blessings He desires to give us.” He then looked at Lucifer and stated, “Brother, I hope we can work this out. I love you, and l want you to be happy. Please, be more obedient to Father. He only wants what’s best for you.” Then He walked on.
The next day, we were all talking excitedly about the plan from last night, and we didn’t notice those from the street last night, go into the Gallery Social Hall, and begin their own meeting.
Later that day, Father called everyone back in, for more instruction on the plan, and to reveal important assignments. Everyone was there, including Lucifer, and those that had been with him.
As the meeting went on, some of us didn’t seem to be happy with what was being said. Some even appeared to be angry. Even a boy from my language class looked irritated.
I began to cry. “Why won’t they understand?”
Then I looked up, and saw my brother Jopana there, raising his hand to be permitted to speak.
Father called upon him and said, “Let us hear from our musician, Jopana.”
Jopana then spoke, “Father, I just wanted to know, will we still have our families on this earth, as we have here?”
“Yes Jopana, you will have a family. I have given you the chance to pick who you want to be with, along with my guidelines for who will be best, and you can rest assured, that I will send you to where you need to go. Anything else Jopana?”
“No Father. Thank you.”
Then Lucifer stood up and spoke. “Friends and family,” he began, “I have discovered, that the plan of our Father, won’t bring everyone back home, in the way He promises. I have been thinking, and I believe that I have found a better way.”
Some of the others began to applaud. He continued, “I have come up with a plan, that will save all of us, but I must be the one who makes it all happen. What do you think Father?”
Father paused compassionately, and then stated to him, “Dearest Lucifer, I know that you are only trying to help, but this way is not in harmony with the laws of our eternal government. My plan, is one that will allow my children to appropriately choose their path. That is the only way to freedom, the freedom to choose the right; agency.”
Then defeated, Lucifer sat down.
When the meeting was almost over, Jehovah stood up and spoke, and said, “I am in favor of our Father’s plan, and I will support Him in it, and do whatever He requires of me.”
Then we sang a song, and departed.
That night, and a little worried, I went over to visit my brother Jopana, who lived in the school housing at the music school. When he opened the door, he looked very weary, but when he saw me, he lit up.
“Come in Sharloma! What’s going on?” he asked.
“Well, I’m sort of scared Jopana.”
“Scared Sharloma?”
“Yes. I don’t know what’s going on with everyone. Some people don’t like our Father’s plan.”
“I know how you feel.” said Jopana, “It’s kind of gotten me down a little too. I’ll tell you what, why don’t we go tomorrow, and ask Father what we should do, OK?”
“OK.”
“Now, how about we both go for a quick walk, as I take you home my sister?”
“OK Jopana, I’d like that.”
Chapter Two
Returning to Separate
My first thoughts as to what my stand in my plan was, that I be the chosen recipient of all the glory therein. I knew that many had already given me allegiance, and would support me in it, but I feared that I was not chosen.
Father’s plan was one that I could not accept, and so I then settled on the declaration, that I must be the first man in Father’s plan, to inhabit a physical body. This, of course, was denied, perhaps because of my own personal agenda in mind. I knew that Father knew all my intents, but I thought that maybe, if I could gather in enough support, that even He would support my plan as well. Well, I was wrong. He was completely against it, and commanded me to let go of all such ideas, but by then, it was too late. The state of my heart, and that of my followers, was one that would not back down, and so, we began the war, with me at the head, of one third of all heavenly beings.
Back in the quiet quarters of the Father’s room, He privately interviewed His son Jehovah, for the plan’s perpetuation.
“My dearly Beloved son, Thou, who art most precious and sacred above all, this plan of Mine, is one that We have both known from the beginning. We have both worked together from the beginning of Your birth as my Son, to prepare You for this plan to come about. I have foreseen the end from the beginning, and I know all. I also know, that You are the very greatest of all, being my First Born, and birth right Son, and so Your love, like Mine, is also endless.
“But the sacrifice of Thyself, for Your brothers and sisters, is above all that which You can comprehend, even until You have actually experienced it. You will be pained to the very center, from all eternity to all eternity. You must be completely innocent of all sin. Your sacrifice will include the pains of every kind, of all creations and their spirits, and all of My holy justice, with its punishments for sin.
“All of this will try Thee even to your very limit. You understand that this sacrifice will leave You with nothing left to give, for you must sacrifice all you have and are to complete it.
“Because of this, Thou art the only One set apart as My Lamb, and the example of My worthy will. With this experience, Thou wilt be enabled to truly redeem all mankind through their repentance and our mercy and grace.
“It is because of your begotten birth, and sinless life, that you will have the power to not die, but to voluntarily leave your body, commending yourself to Me. And because of this, you will then also be able to heal, and re-enter your body, through the resurrection ordinance. My power over life and death is given to You, that you may draw all mankind unto me, through the power of the resurrection, to be judged.
“Through your sacrifice, you will bring all to me to be judged, and for all who will repent and submit to Me, they must bring their own sacrifices of themselves and wills, to become even as Me also, as a God, thus fulfilling our plan, and My work and glory, to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man.”
“Yes Father, I understand.”
“Now go my Son, and encourage Michael and his forces to fight against the dragon of perdition. All will be well. I Love You.”
Chapter Three
Invasion, Persuasion – Casting Out Casts
“Now! Let’s go!” cries Lucifer, “We will destroy them all, and they will all bow to me!”
“Yes my prince!” Screamed Mohakim, Lucifer’s next in line of command, and most evil beside himself.
Lucifer and his captains, with all their forces, go forth in rage to destroy the Father, and all His glory.
“We are going to destroy all of them now!” shouts Lucifer, with his bitter hatred as the two forces meet.
“Not so evil one.” cries Michael, with his valiant forces, “We will banish you, and your plans will be no more!”
“Never!” retorts Lucifer.
Then, with prophetic foreknowledge, Michael gives before all to hear. “Even you, with all the cunning given you, through deceit and wicked perdition, cannot destroy us. You can only harm us, but all those you injure, will be healed, and born whole and innocent, into our bodies, which we will have on earth.”
Then Lucifer cries out from the depths of hell, “We will see who the real ruler is! ATTACK! NOW!!”
And they go. The battle between good and evil commences, while the Father, the Son, and Holy Spirit, knowingly watch on.
The troops of Michael are led by many strong, valiant, and noble spirits of the Father’s choicest sons and daughters, including Jopana and Haslom, a family brother of Sharloma and Jopana, and Marlbro, a friend. These are all well prepared for the battle, but the fierceness of the dragon is so determined, that it takes all, and the very best for Michael’s forces and the Father to win.
Haslom and Jopana had always been the best of brothers, consistently depending on each other for support, friendship and love. Haslom would love spending time with Jopana, always thrilling in what was going on in his life. In turn, Jopana relished and loved the time and attention spent with Haslom. The two would work together to bless and inspire the lives of many of their other brothers and sisters.
At times, however, Haslom would feel lost in all the crowd, with so many others. He loved them all, but he sometimes felt, like he didn’t know them well enough. It was in these times, that he would begin to doubt himself, and would then go to Jopana to help work things out.
Jopana saw in Haslom, many great gifts and strengths, which he seemed not to recognize or understand. Jopana tried to help him see this, and with time, Haslom nourished these strengths, and his confidence grew.
Jopana told him, that in some ways he felt Haslom was stronger than he was.
Haslom began to go out, and develop his own life, knowing that he could do it. Haslom had never been shy, but he was just unsure of himself.
Jopana was so pleased with Haslom, for he went out and did it all, having so many friends, who all depended on him for strength and love.
Truly Haslom was a brave and valiant warrior for Elohim.
Jopana eagerly acknowledged this, and helped to build him up.
One day, Haslom came to see Jopana, with exciting and happy news!
“Jopana! I just met this awesome girl today! I think that she is the one I want to be my eternal companion on earth!”
“This is wonderful Haslom! What is her name?” Jopana excitedly inquired.
“Mingadro.”
“Mingadro?” questioned Jopana.
“Yes!”
“I know her! She is awesome! I hope she knows the great man she is getting, and the wonderful care you will take of her.” Relates Jopana, “She deserves a special man like yourself. I am so proud of you Haslom.”
Then, with tears in his eyes, Jopana reveals something to his faithful brother, which had been weighing down on his heart and mind for some time.
“Haslom.” he begins.
“Yes Jopana?”
“Father has told me something that is very scary to me.”
“What is it?” asks Haslom with great concernment.
“Father wants me to be a prophet on the earth.”
“Really?!”
“Yes…but not just any prophet, he wants me to be the final prophet of the last days.”
“Oh my!” responded Haslom.
“Yes Haslom, and I am afraid. He has told me some things about our earthly family that are very unnerving to me.”
“Like what?” asked Haslom, somewhat disturbed.
He said that our immediate family, would not be prepared for earth life, the way you and I will be. He said that it was up to us, to help them prepare down on earth, to face their lives. He also spoke to me about the immense pain that I must endure.
This is a calling however, that is more than I can now bare, but our Father Elohim, has promised that before I go, He will personally prepare me for it, so I must trust in Him.”
“Yes Jopana! You are going to make it! I will help you, the way you helped me! Remember, we are going to the same family.”
“Life just isn’t carefree anymore.” Lamented Jopana, “I don’t know what to do.”
“Everything will be fine, remember, I will help you.”
“Thank you for your support Haslom.”
Then the two brothers lovingly and warmly embraced, and said, “I love you.”
“Yes, and I love you both too.” Said a nearby voice, one, oh so familiar.
“Father, You’re here!” Cried Jopana.
“Yes Jopana. I knew that you were hurting, so I came to comfort you. Remember, you will never be left alone. Even in your darkest times.” Said the Father.
“I have a great work in store for you to do, some of which will even be through your music.”
Then the three of them privately spent the rest of their evening, bonding, consoling and enjoying one another.
“I love you Father.” said Jopana, to which the Father replied, “I love you too Jopana.”
Chapter Four
Fruitful Beginnings
And now life on earth begins. We all watched on with grand interest, as our hero and friend, Michael, or Adam, along with his valiant, noble, and special companion, Guadra, or Eve, now inhabited their bodies.
They were innocent and full of all life and love, fresh and new. Father had breathed into them life, and instructed them relative to their commandments and duties. Then he opened the gate for them, to enter into the Garden of Eden, and they went inside.
Once inside the magnificent garden, which was prepared for them, Adam and Eve were filled with wonder.
“Adam, everything is so beautiful!” proclaimed Eve.
“Yes!” Adam responded. “Let’s go exploring, and see all that our Father has created for us!” he said, excited that he now had an helpmeet to share in his joy.
“Ah, Adam and Eve, but first, I’ve got something special for each of you. Please, come closer.”
And they did. Then, Father took Adam, and placed His hand on his, and Eve brought up hers. Then, the Father performed the highest, most perfect, glorious, sealing covenant, which set forth the standard, that would then feed down through the generations, unto the restoration of souls, in the which men and women would be sealed up in the last days, and during the millennial reign, back into the family of God.
After this most hallowed sealing, the two were excited to now be together, hand in hand in matrimony, to explore their new home.
Adam and Eve didn’t remember their lives before coming to the earth, but as a blessing, our Father allowed them to partly retain an open channel, to remember the language they had learned before this life, that they would speak once born in the flesh. Thus they could learn about the world around them, and converse with each other, and with the Father and Son.
Father called it the Adamic language, and it was clean and pure.
Adam and Eve immersed themselves in their surroundings, like little children in a peaceful dream. Then, much later, Father told Adam that it was time to start giving names to all the creatures and plant life, to which Adam was given dominion over.
Father called forth all the creatures unto Adam for him to name, and only now, did Adam struggle for the words, as he sought out the predestined names of each creation, and his memory of them, calling spiritually upon the Father for help, and to Eve’s surprise, he did remarkably well.
Eve listened intently, trying to remember all of the creature’s names, as their new world unfolded, and soon, every creature was satisfied with its name.
Then, it came time for Adam to name all the vegetation and plant life, to which Eve came along and accompanied him. They traveled deeper and deeper into the garden, and when finished, Eve was so pleased with Adam’s faithfulness in finishing our Fathers instructions, that she told him, “I love you Adam.” To which he replied, “I love you too Eve.” And they were one.
Back in heaven, I Sharloma, had mostly learned English, which was to be the first language I would speak, when my turn on earth came.
My brother Jopana was so very good with this language, that he used it everywhere he went, in writings, stories and in publications, in heaven, and on earth.
Jopana started his life on earth very modestly. Not at all like his life was in heaven, but Father said this was the best way for him.
Father also told me, that one day I would understand why this was, when Jopana would bear his testimony to me on earth, about our Father’s plan for him.
Father had warned Adam and Eve of what would happen to them, if they were to eat from the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. He said that they could eat from every tree of the garden, but that one. Adam and Eve both understood what Father meant, and were agreed.
Then, one day, Eve went off exploring on her own, promising Adam that she would rejoin him soon.
“OK Eve.” said Adam, “I’ll be somewhere around this river Euphrates.” He innocently stated.
Having just started out as a curiosity, Eve now wanted to go and examine the forbidden tree.
As she drew closer, she felt a stronger desire to see it, but still knew she was forbidden to even touch it. When she arrived however, she was not at all fearful, but was at ease in its presence.
“The fruit in the tree looks like other fruits in our garden.” She said to herself.
“Yessssss.” said a voice, somewhat near her.
Startled, Eve turned around to see who was there.
“Who are you?” she questioned this strange serpent which had just spoken to her.
“I am a creature of knowledge.” he replied.
“Oh!” gasped Eve.
“Yes. You see, I know all the secrets that eating this fruit will give you.”
“But I am not to partake of this tree.” defended Eve.
“Then are you to never know the things that your Father knows?”
“Well, no, but He told me not to eat it. I’ll die!” She said to him.
“You will not die,” said the serpent, “but you shall gain knowledge. Father wants you to be more like Him, doesn’t He? And this is the only way. Look,” said the serpent as it slithered down from the forbidden tree, and closer to her, “this fruit is very delicious and sweet, and it is your only chance. You must partake of it, to know the difference between good and evil, the way your Father knows it. You won’t die Eve.” Said the serpent, sure that he’s got her more and more convinced.
Then, she left. After much time and pondering, waiting and thinking on the Lord, while staring at herself in her favorite pool of smooth water, wanting to be wiser, and believing some of what the serpent told her, Eve then finally succumbed.
“Now go,” said the serpent to her, and give to Adam of the same.” He said, sure that he’d set his plan into action.
Immediately Eve began to feel differently inside, not sure what was taking place. But as she traveled to Adam, her mind began to expand, and the things which she felt, but could not put into thoughts, began to come to her mind, and she knew that this was in consequence of her action.
“Adam,” said Eve, “I want you to have some of this fruit.” she told him.
“But Eve, isn’t that the forbidden fruit?” said Adam.
“Yes, it is, but I have already had a taste. It is delicious, and I am beginning to know more because of it. You need some too, so we can both know the difference between good and evil Adam.” Eve tells him.
“No Eve, I will not eat that.”
“But it is the only way to become more like our Father.” Eve replied.
“Who told you that?” asked Adam, still afraid of what has taken place.
“One of the creatures of the garden.” she told him. “Father said that we would die and look, I’m still alive.”
“Eve, our Father is not a liar. Surely you know this?”
“Yes, but surely this is the only way, Adam. I am now enlightened, and I’m beginning to understand the difference between right and wrong. Surely Father wants this for us, doesn’t He?”
“Yes, but I don’t know all His plans for us.”
Then enters the serpent and says, “Adam, I know the Father’s plan, and this is very well a part of it. Why would Father plant this tree in the garden, if he did not want you to eat of it? Surely it is for his own purposes.”
“Yes Adam, you must partake of it. We must follow our course,” said Eve.
After much pondering, and counseling with his wife, Adam also partook of the fruit.
Chapter Five
A Penitent Offering, A Great Divide Crossing
Because they had disobeyed Father, Adam and Eve were driven out of His presence, and the earth they lived on was also changed. Now, instead of their fruit trees springing up on their own, by the hand of our Father, Adam and Eve had to take of the seeds therein, and plant them in the soil to make them grow. This is what Father had told them they must do from now on, until they died, adding more sorrow unto them, which was brought into the world through their disobedience.
Eve was Adam’s helpmeet, which meant that she strengthened him, and helped him in their labors, as equals, to sustain the life of their bodies, which had also changed.
Both knowing that they would die, and losing their Father, the two of them were very sad, and would often cry out to Him in disparity.
Then, one day, three angels visited Adam, and asked him about his sadness.
“I have lost my Father, and I am going to die! I will never be happy anymore!”
“Oh, but I bring you good news.” said the first angel.
“What is it?” asked Adam, still not very cheery.
“You and Eve will live again.”
“But how?!” asked Adam, not sure who these were, or what they meant.
“We are angels, sent from the presence of God, and He has sent us here, and He has given us the earthly charge, to help you make it back home to Him.”
“But I am a sinner, and I cannot dwell in the presence of a perfect God.” replied Adam.
“But do you not know of our Father’s love for you, Adam?”
“Yes, I know that He loves me, but I have shamed Him, and have brought sin and death into the world.”
“Yes Adam, but this is still all part of our Father’s plan. He is in control, and He has already made a way for this fall to be reconciled. You are given this very time, to prove yourself worthy and ready, to become even like your great Father in Heaven, and live with Him again.”
“Really?!”
“Yes.”
“But how?!” Adam asked, hopeful, but very unsure, for a new chance and purpose.
“Your Elder brother Jehovah is the way. He is the truth, the light, and the life. He will give you the strength to do what you need.
“Do as we ask, as guided by angels and the Holy Ghost, and you will be blessed to receive more instruction.
“For now, just know that our Lord, commands you to offer up unto Him, sacrifices of burnt offerings, and call on our Father in His name. This is what you must do, in order to begin your journey back home.”
“Yes, I will do it!” cried Adam, very happy and grateful for this wonderful and exciting news, and a greater prospect of his life and its meaning.
Adam then rushed back to Eve to share these glorious tidings.
Both Eve and Adam did greatly rejoice in this most glorious of news, and began to prophesy great and wondrous things about their posterity, in a language pure and clean, powerful and profound, none of which I, during my earthly sojourn, would have the opportunity to hear, until my resurrection on the first morning of restoration. However, my brother Jopana, was to be given a gift, in which he could almost translate the meanings of the holy soul of speech, across the veil, and into the medium of English, our first earthly language. Or in other words, he could get the same concepts across, still using the most fallen of languages on the earth. A language which took origins of words from many other languages.
Now, as Adam and Eve pondered the path ahead to choose, Eve brought up the very and only way to begin and end their journey home successfully.
“Jehovah?” said Adam, “Yes, He is the way, but I don’t know how we are to return, other than by what we have been instructed thus far. The angel said we must offer burnt offerings of the first born of our flocks, and that it ought to be the best, unblemished and clean; perfect!”
“Yes Adam, and have you inquired more?” said Eve, his companion, and equal in every way.
“No, but very wise to do so. Thank you, Eve.”
“Yes, and maybe you will be shown how.” Proclaimed Eve.
The two were quite unsure as to how to proceed, but then the night came, and they retired to bed.
Adam lay awake, not wanting to disturb Eve, pondering in his heart and mind, upon this matter which he most earnestly desired to know more about. Then, not sure of what to do, He arose, stepped outside of their tent habitation, which was built to keep out the cold, wind, and rain, and then began to walk out a long distance, until he reached the foot of a large mountain. Then, feeling a strong desire to draw closer to His Father, Whom he knew resided in the heavens, he began to climb it.
Adam climbed until he could see the morning sun, rising in the East, and then he kept on going. Finally, he reached the top, and when he did, he collapsed, tired from his nightly sojourn. When he awoke, however, he was startled, for right there before him, was a cloud.
“Adam,” said a voice from within the cloud, “I am Jehovah, your Savior.”
Immediately, Adam fell down to the earth before Him, and worshiped Him, for who He is, and what He does.
“Adam, I am the Christ. I have been ordained to be a sacrifice for the world. I will be afflicted by the sins of all men and women. I will be broken and slain, and my blood and body sacrificed, for their redemption. I promise to send you the priesthood, that you may offer up these sacrifices in my name, in the similitude of my ultimate sacrifice. This will be an ordinance before Me, of the cleansing of the bodies, of all those who offer up their sins as a sacrifice unto Me, upon a holy alter in this manner. These sacrifices must be done in the way in which I will cause them to be revealed to you, by my angel, the same angel who has previously made his visit to you, here on this earth. You must receive the Holy Priesthood, which is the power and authority to act in the name of God, your Heavenly Father, to do these things.
“Adam, it was you and I, who together created this earth, on which you stand, by this holy power. Now, you need to receive this power in the flesh. You were with me at the time we created this earth, and you will be with me again, if you will do all that you are required to. I will instruct you by My voice, by the voice of my servant messengers, and by the voice of the Holy Ghost, who is also with me. The Holy Ghost is a part of the Godhead too, and is a spirit, and together, we are the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, one in purpose, but separate as individuals. Adam, you will be made the first prophet on this earth, for the first dispensation. This means, that you will have children, and it will be the first time that the gospel is upon the earth. You will receive the powers and authority, to administer in all of the ordinances of the gospel, including these sacrifices and burnt offerings.
“I love you Adam, and I will visit you from time to time. Although you cannot see me, in time, if you are faithful, you will see me, before you die. The Holy Ghost’s role now, is to teach you the truth, and guide you. He will be with you always, as you follow Me. You must be baptized, which is a requirement for all those who would be saved. Then, the gift of the Holy Ghost will be sealed upon you, and be your constant companion, as you are worthy of Him. You will know more about this in time. These things I speak to you now, and ask you to ponder them in your heart and mind, and when you are ready, you will receive more. I leave you now my son. Be patient in all that you suffer, and you shall receive your reward.”
Then Jehovah, the Great I Am, ascended into the sky, back into the heavens, and left His brother Adam, with a longing thirst, for his Saviors presence.

From the Future, Comes This
Hallowed Reverberation:
From the corridors of time,
Comes an eerie echo from the past:
“Where did I come from, where will I go?
Is this just a moment in time, or a moment of eternity?
“There is a hidden ancient portal, Where travelers go,
Which comes upon them, when they do not know.
In this fierce, and harrowing expedition,
Comes their final immersion, into their final mission.”
CHAPTER ONE
A Time Travel Turn of Events
Although close in proximity, and brushing side by side, neither David, nor his Dad, felt they truly knew the real ones inside, but the changing of this started, when going for a walk outside, in the finding of souls, where each got to be together, speaking as they chose. And in this life’s mission, one purposed from before, wherein a transformative portal began to open, was found a miracle. First, small, when words were exchanged, and later, games played and won, on the battle front.
The game now at hand, was a board game, and tradition among the Brown family, called, Risk. However, David and his Dad were playing this game digitally, on his Nintendo Switch 2. This, to have a quicker setup, and enjoy a more fun interface. The game Risk was fitly named, as a banner of making peace, through war, among the peril of friends.
While playing and enjoying their love and learning of the game, magically evolving in their relationship, a strange, physiological portal began to open. It soon became wider, and to glow of purple and orange.
Soon, it became big enough, and powerful enough, that it began to slowly pull the two inside.
David and his Dad were so shocked and surprised, fixated on the brilliance of this beautiful anomaly, with circulating colors swirling around them, that they were perplexed by the very opening of this rift, and they could neither flee, nor blink. For the thought of this never entered their minds. They just sat there stupefied, and watched, as it began to grow in size and powerful strength. The reality of their present state, then began to hit them both like a train wreck. As they were being brought into this brilliant opulence, David and his Dad both began to scream aloud, “Aaaaah!”
This shiny, energetic field of travel portal, began to pull them in so fully, that it began its fierce transformative process to their bodies, overwhelming their delicate systems. They were now fully morphed, melded, and unglued, Shortly thereafter, being atomically brought down in size, and then put back together, reinstated, now teleported to somewhere, sometime, entirely new and different, and it knocked them out.
Because they had never at any time experienced this strange, curious phenomena before, they were rendered unconscious. For they had been metabolically unglued, shrank, and then put back together in a much smaller size, now in which they were brought inside, and literally living in, David’s Nintendo Switch 2.
After successfully crossing through, in this magical portal, while still recovering from their mode of transportation, on a grassy green hill, by a small stream, another traveler came by, who was a self-proclaimed caretaker, and steward of this conduit, for all users who travel, and become entities inside their very own gaming systems.
He had come, and seeing them rendered unconscious, left them specifically here, where he knew they’d be somewhat safer, than down in the valley, where their mighty war was taking place. They had been playing Risk, a world war domination game, and because it was so dangerous in person, He brought them there, on a hill, overlooking the battles. Then he traveled away, faster than the speed of sound, a speed if which maxed out on a larger scale, could reverse the force of gravity.
To David and his Dad, this curious being was only seen and remembered, as a blueish blur.
Now, as they restlessly arose from their wounded, wearied, and troubled sleep, they slowly began to realize their surroundings.
To their greatest amazement and horror, they were now fully awake, and found themselves right inside a war zone, created by their own designs, just moments before, wherein their risk embattlements, which they had captained, and deployed, were now up close and personal, fighting it out in cruel and barbaric ways.
These wars were now in full force, and they could see down below, in their fields of fire, the horrors of war, as it deeply scarred, and utterly ravaged the terrain, like a predator of destruction had fallen upon the inhabitants, and devoured a carcass, of a creature of prey. And like a plague of desolation, it killed thousands in its wake.
David and his Dad had by choice, been deemed the human Captains of these, by utilizing, their system’s controllers, of their own malicious military. But after seeing the conflict from the inside, so up close and personal, and detesting the carnage and show of death all around, David and his Dad as their leaders, each then decided to send forth a cry for peace among their troops, pleading with them to stop the cause of the carnage and fighting.
The surreal experience of half believing, and half not understanding their own plight, of where they were, and how they got there, stirred in them the human need and thirst for peace, proving by experience, that the mercy in mankind, manifests more, during times of turmoil and traumatic times. Like a light working in them, to righteously hate evil, and want to do good, they had finally, yet hardly, put a stop to this war, and were able to call a truce between the troops. Now the troops, tanks, airships, and infantry, all broke pace, and gratefully returned to their own homes and families, set the pursue their other life ambitions.
Then, out from the last billow of smoke, when they thought they could finally have time to think, and try to understand this new and seemingly unreal reality, and to make some sense of it, they suddenly, for the second time, saw this blue creature of tremendous speed, now fully awake and aware this time, and they recognized him immediately.
“Are you Sonic?!” David asked excitedly!
“Yes, and I’m here to be your system guide. Anything you need help with, in traveling I mean, which means game hopping with my golden transport rings, I’m here to help!
This time they were very shocked to see that he was the actual, very, and literal Sonic the Hedgehog. The one in this local network at least.
“Do you know how many actual Sonics there are?” asked David.
“At least one in every console made, from the 90’s until today, and then some.” Sonic answered David.
Then, without a warning, he again took out a golden transportation ring from his brown bag, and placed it in front of them, saying, “This is not your final destination. You must now be taken to yet another strange game, AI selected, and downloaded, by the system controls, in which you may play, inside this wonderful game system’s electronic, digital world!”
This new opportunity, in which David and his Dad could start their own true, real-life adventure, mission, and quest, to acquire newly granted gifts, and use them for the benefit and blessing of their relationship, with one another. And it was perfectly suited for their personal needs, and circumstances.
For Sonic the keeper, knew that only those who had the absolute need, and were worthy of their very own redeeming adventures, could be sucked into their very own game systems, to draw it out, and make it be. Therefore, he knew, nothing doubting, that they were worthy indeed.
“You need only know my occupation, and how to call for me.
Everything else, you will learn in time.” said Sonic. “You may have this special whistle, which only I can hear, but you are only to blow it, when in the diarist of need. Then I can come, and help you with your requests.”
From the Past, Comes This
Unhallowed Reverberation:
The Future is far behind,
The past is yet to come.
Solve this history,
And you’ll understand this mystery…
“What’s the hierarchy here?
The Heavens which have no fear.
Who’s the matrix of eternity and space?
The One who took up all its place.”
CHAPTER TWO
Where Are We Dad? I Dino!
Now, passing through this portal type once again, this time falling from the skies, and flailing their arms and legs all about, the two fell through an atmosphere surged with ashes and smoke, from a consuming nearby mountainous volcano.
As it turns out, both David and his Dad, needed a particular climate and environment, of a newer land and time, one fresh and new, which had not afore beheld mankind.
One wherein they could be tested and tried, in the world and time of the dinosaurs, even in their digital age. An age when the Earth and all her creations were new, and the days of life were longer. A time when creatures had a longer life span, and all the terrain was more lush and beautifully hostile. A time in which they would have to prove themselves in the very thing which drove them apart.
To have the ultimate testing grounds of rigorous relationships, gritty goodness, and conquering cares, in the pursuit of trying a true and precious friendship, to unite, and thus survive and thrive in this journey of mighty metamorphosis, and challenging change.
As they quickly descended, there was also a curious, playful, hungry troop of Pteranodons, swooping nearby, attempting to feed on some prehistoric fish, from a trio of previously pristine pools of deep water below. This water source had been pure and rich, until the time they were besieged by the ashes from the lava and magma Mount.
This world was an early empire, ruled by the likes of the mighty killers, known as the T-Rex, the Deinosuchus, and the king of the water, the Spinosaurus.
A new world, which could help them unveil and accomplish their mission, which at last, would redeem, and lead them safely back to their true home and family. Family that would miss them terribly, until they were finally found again.
This magical game and quest which lay before them, was played and spectated by many other outside online users, and was called, Escape from Jurassic World. This game was created by a legendary man who had first discovered this inside Phenomenon through his own portal experiences when he was a boy, and upon returning from his own game, he sought out opportunities to further provide other users, their own adventures in their very own gaming systems, to learn and grow. His name, was Edmund.
The Game was not easy, nor an ordinary test, for there were many tar pits, poisonous plants, predatory dinosaurs, and other perils, plus the lack of immediate proper food and shelter.
It was a sight for both David and his Dad’s shocked eyes and scared hearts to behold, as they both plummeted nearer and nearer its surface scenery.
David and his Dad were both screaming, mortally affrighted, as they awkwardly fell from the sky, somehow neither really fathoming in the least, what was actually happening, and was shortly about to occur.
When the committing of volcanic explosive ashes from the land’s center core emitted, it intermittently filled these pools with ashes, causing impurities in this once, richly, refreshing water source.
Above these pools, were three precious, cool and minerally robust waterfalls, fountains cascading over rocky crags of now smoothed stones, forming a backdrop of greenery and flower plant life, which hid underneath the back of the waterfall’s constant rolling of rich and rushing water. Within the rocky crevasses, were many safe homes for smaller adapt dwelling creatures and mini mammals. These sweet bodies of nectar-like, life-giving water, provided obligatory sustenance for all dinosaurs, mammals and other creatures and insects, including those which dwelt in the water and sky.
With the suffering of species, in consequence of this volcanic movement, many remaining specimens, determined to hold their place, lived close to these waters, fearing that in their absence, they would lose their spot to the cleanest of water.
With these natural pollutions, coming upon portions of the earth from time to time, both polluting, pollinating, and then replenishing the earth, at the current time, only the oldest of dinosaurs, remembers having a local climate clear of such dark debris.
However, with many dinosaur species among and around these pools, and its sizable stream outlet.
They had both just been sitting comfortably together at David’s Nintendo Switch, playing an enchanting game of Risk, when all of the sudden, they unknowingly awoke from a semi unconscious state into their RISK game, and then after this, were suddenly beamed into an epic free-fall, down to a place and time completely foreign to them.
David’s Dad was in utter shock, for fear of heights and sky diving were his greatest phobias, which now was a sudden reality.
David and his Dad might have preferred sudden death by hitting down onto solid ground, to all that was about to happen, but as time would tell, David and his Dad would truly see they would need each other in the most beautiful of ways, to help each other discover something so amazing, that they could not have done without one another. In other words, their relationship was a symbiotic one, even as birds need their wings to fly.
Along this riverbank, which was fed from the pools, were strewn many bones of dinosaurs, now long gone from life, most likely eaten by water dwelling creatures such as the deinosuchus, or the Spinosaurus, as they tried to drink at water’s edge.
Then, landing explosively into the creature occupied waters of the largest of these dynamic prehistoric pools, right below the largest waterfall, David, and his Dad both came up gargling and sputtering out dinosaur water.
Realizing they both needed each other, they immediately yelled out, “Help!”
Their second action was to swim frantically over to the land, where they ran to each other, and embraced.
“Where are we?!” cried Dad, “Is this a dream?!”
“I don’t know! What should we do Dad?!” said David.
“First, let’s try to find some safety,” said David’s Dad, “I don’t trust these dinosaurs. We could be eaten in an instant. Then we can try to figure all of this out, with these many creatures around!”
“I don’t even know if I’m dreaming.” said David.
“Me too!” David’s Dad agreed.
Then, out of nowhere, a bird like creature, the size of a wild turkey, jumped up at them! “Run!!” David yelled.
“It is going to eat us!!” shouted David, scared and excited to see a real Velociraptor.
After a few lengths and paces of running away from the velociraptor, Dad looked back to see its progress of hunting them down.
“Wait!” he called to David, “It’s not even chasing us!”
After studying the Velociraptor’s actions, David’s Dad stated, “I know it sounds crazy, but I think the Velociraptor is wanting to show us something. It could have already easily caught us, and torn us to pieces.”
“Yes, but we can’t take any chances.” said David, having seen too many Jurassic Park and World movies.
“You’re right David, but look, it almost looks as if it’s motioning to us to follow it. You have even said that real dinosaurs are much smarter than people might think.”
Then, thinking about it, he says to his son, “If we are going to survive in this new and dangerous world, we might need to have an ally. Maybe we can even find one in such an unlikely creature.”
“Yes, but let’s be very careful Dad.”
“Yes, we will.” said his Dad, “I don’t know how we got here, or how this is even possible, but we’ve got to stick together, and find a way home. Mom, and your brother and sister will be very worried about us.”
“There must be a way, or else how could we have gotten here in the first place?” said David.
Then immediately, the Velociraptor repeatedly pointed his head to follow him towards a spot of ground around a bend of trees.
Cautiously, David and his Dad followed their hopefully very new friend around the bend, and with this, hoped things might become a little better. Yet, they were still ready to try to defend themselves if needed, should it become necessary.
The Velociraptor led them to a spot covered by some rocky outcroppings, which were easy to hide in, and were away from the other dinosaurs. It was a spot too small for the greater sized predators to reach.
Then, having looked around, both feeling very depleted from their constant adrenaline and fears, they were both very hungry and exhausted.
David was the first to say what was on both of their minds.
“Dad, let’s see if we can find some food. I’m hungry.”
Then, upon searching around a small pond just beyond their safety spot, they found a few trees with a bunch of large yellow fruits on them.
“I hope these are safe for us to eat.” said his Dad.
David’s Dad found a straight stick, and with it, knocked down a single fruit.
“They look very good!” said David.
Then, upon testing a piece out with a small bite, and finding it to be good, the two filled their empty bellies with these sweet, large guava-like fruits.
Then, looking into the pond, David and his Dad saw some prehistoric fish.
“I have my pocket-knife with me!” said David.
“Perfect!” said Dad.
Then, David used the stick his Dad had, and carved the end thereof sharp, for the spearing of fish.
“Great work David!” said his Dad.
Then suddenly, the Velociraptor returned, again beckoning to them.
“Let’s follow him again Dad,” said David, “he might have somewhere better for us to go.”
“You might be right. So far he’s led us true.” agreed David’s Dad.
Then, not far, and hidden perfectly away from any properly frequented paths, behind some brush, and overhanging leafy vines and foliage, the velociraptor parted the greenery, and went inside.
David and his Dad now hesitantly followed, a little heightened in caution, but also in curiosity, and soon they began to find this new experience to be almost adventurous.
Seeing their new friend to remain docile, and no other dinosaurs around, the two decided this would be a safe place for them to dwell for tonight.
As it turned out, no one but their velociraptor friend, and themselves knew about this space, yet what they did not know, was that this very special Velociraptor friend, who was instrumental in their newfound food and safety, was also meant to help them in both their personal quests, to make and shape their new relationship with each other, and help them succeed on their pathway and journey home, wherever it led.
The Wheels of Time Are Turning.
A Message From The Leader Comes:
This is a race against humanity and dinosaurs.
One species becomes extinct, one egg at a time.
From the halls of heaven,
Comes this momentous refrain.
“Duty calls from the matrix of morality.
A speeding of space and time, from the visions of eternity.
Perform your calling with love, and the three period vectors,
Will forever be one.”
