DON’T GET INTO A STARE FIGHT WITH THE HSR, BECAUSE IT JUST
MIGHT LAST FOR MINUTES AND YOUR EYES WILL DEFINITELY DRY OUT, SO YOU’LL HAVE NO
OTHER CHOICE BUT TO BLINK AND LOSE, and this way, your “summertime, and the
living is easy” smile can spread out smoothly like rich, creamy, and delicious
peanut butter!
Quick background: the
dentist barely escapes a fiery inferno, and is surprised that he possesses, and
must protect, the magical baby tooth that everyone seems to covet, if he is
ever to see home again!
I tell myself, “Let’s see, I get saved from burning molten
lava by a girl, then she tries to snatch this baby tooth pendant from me, gets
electrified, turns and flies off, and now, I’m transported by what seems to be
another person, to this big castle that must contain at least half of the
world’s gold, platinum, and diamonds! …All before lunch!”
The young man who transported me, now gestures to me to walk
to a raised area and stand there.
A gray cloud ball of dust and electricity decends from the
ceiling slowly until it reaches a few feet right in front of me.
The Cloud starts to speak, “Listen as if your life depends on
it…because it does!”
“For a million years, exactly, I have been waiting just for
this moment…”
“You will take the tooth you possess, the last one of the
sacred set, and go to the Hills of Orala.”
“There you will ascend the highest peak, reach the cave near
the peak, and enter into it,” speaks The Cloud.
Now, I’m a little lost with all of this happening so fast. I
take a swallow and look around. Even though there are immeasurable riches here,
it also reminds me of an inescapable trap. I quickly decide that I want no part
of it!
“Excuse me, Oh Mighty Cloud, Sir,” I say carefully, “I just
need to go back home. I have an important surgery in one hour!”
“Silence, before I vaporize you!” the Cloud commands.
“Then…I’ll look just like you,” I joke with a smile.
“Enough!” shouted The Cloud, visibly growing more impatient.
I snap back, “you can’t hurt me, you need me to complete the
task!”
The Cloud reminds me, “And you need me, if you ever want to
go back home…Ha,Ha, Ha!”
I don’t like the sound of his laugh, like he is up to
something, and that I am going to end up in quicksand…or worse!
I ask, “Just where are these Hills of Orala?”
“A thousand miles from here,” the Cloud says, “and you must
get there within the hour!”
“A thousand miles in one hour? You have a car that fast?” I
ask unbelievingly.
“I have something much better,” the Cloud lets on, “Eon,
assist this, this…dentist!”
So that’s the guy’s name who can talk without moving his
lips, I conclude.
The Cloud, now turning more red than gray, with more bolts
of electricity shooting within itself, directs me,” You must enter the cave and
find the Great Altar, and place the last baby tooth within the mortar on the
Altar.”
“Okay,” I respond, ”that’s not too difficult.”
The Cloud speaks again, “The nocturnal lights from three
suns will align soon from three passages on the ceiling, and focus on the
mortar. The lights of Polaris, the rays from Majesticus, and the radiation coming out of Winglon Major, reflected off of our largest moon, Quax, will activate the regeneration sequence!”
“When all three lights meet and focus on the mortar with the
baby tooth inside, you must crush the baby tooth with the pestal that is placed
beside the mortar.”
I tell myself that if I expect to get back home, I’d better
give it a good shot!
“Let’s do it Mr. Cloudy! Hey, Eon, zap us to this place in
a hurry, I gotta lunch date,” I tell them, so I can get back to planet Earth quickly. I implore them. But they are unfazed.
“And one more thing, Tooth Sayer…there will be forces in the
cave that will stop at nothing to kill you and take the tooth for their own!”
cautions the Cloud.
“Ha, ha, ha,” he belly laughs again.
I ask, “Well why don’t you just go there and do it
yourself?”
The Cloud barks back, “You were chosen to do this because
you lack…or, rather, you are unitiated in the ways of our worlds. And your
intentions are pure, even if you are a, er, a dentist!”
“Eon, take the Tooth Sayer to Orala before it’s too late,”
orders The Cloud.
“Please step down, and let us proceed,” Eon says—you guessed
it—without moving his lips, “Now close your eyes.”
I feel a whoosh of wind and then open my eyes.
Now I’m on the ledge of a tall mountain with a steep dark
drop, and there’s a really bad storm with lots of wind, rain, lightening, and
thunder. “Sort of like Mr. Cloudy, with a super-bad attitude,” I think to
myself.
Eon is nowhere to be found now.
I see the cave they told me about just ten feet away.
After taking a few steps toward the entrance, the ground
starts to give way.
I run to the cave now, so as not to slip and fall down into
that deep gorge.
I make it safely inside the cave and tell myself, “Looks
like there’s no turning back!”
I start to take slow steps inside the dark cave and clutch
the pendant with the baby tooth.
There’s a flickering amber light illuminating the place.
While walking and holding on to the side of the cave, I hear
eery sounds starting to grow louder.
Suddenly, part of the…
TO BE CONTINUED…
May you have many…wake up, and confidently burn through your
vanquishable adventures today…I like science-fiction thriller movies, but I don’t
want to actually live in one!...what’s on the surface of something may be the
polar opposite of what’s just underneath the facade …smiles!
