at times...
and see...
what HSR is up to...
A long time ago.
HAS BEEN
RAISING CAMELS
WITH HIS FAMILY
IN THE SAHARA DESERT
EVER SINCE HE WAS
A LITTLE TYKE!.
HOWEVER,
THIS DAY,
A MYSTERIOUS WOMAN
COMES OVER TO HIM
WHILE HE
IS
GRAZING HIS CAMELS
AND
SHE ASKS,
"I NEED YOU AND YOUR
TRUTH-PERCEIVING ABILITIES
TO ACCOMPANY ME
TO FIND THE 'EMERALD
OASIS'
IN THE DEEP DESERT,
WHERE UNPARALLELED
AND IMMENSE TREASURES
AND
SACRED FORMULAS
ARE HIDDEN!"
"LONG AGO,
THE 'ANCIENT ONES'
PUT ALL OF IT
THERE,
TO BE FOUND,
ONLY BY 'ONE WITH A TRUE AND PURE HEART'...
WHO WILL TRULY HELP
THIS WORLD!"
"BUT," HSR BLURTS OUT,
"THE "EMERALD OASIS"
IS JUST A FAIRY TALE!...
IT IS SAID TO APPEAR
AND QUICKLY DISAPPEAR
RIGHT BEFORE YOUR EYES
IN THE
SHIFTING SANDS!"
"BUT, YOUNG MAN... YOUR NAME IS HSR, RIGHT?
SHE ASKS...
"HOW DID YOU KNOW?"
HE ASKS, SURPRISED...
"YES...I KNOW YOU
AND YOUR NAME
FROM THE STARS...AND
...THE NEIGHBORS!"
SHE REVEALS, "AND
I NEED YOU
TO HELP FIND EXACTLY WHERE IT IS!...
...FOR US...
AND FOR THE HOPE OF MANKIND!"
PLEADS THE WOMAN...
"IT IS FORETOLD THAT
IN TWO WEEKS,
A LONG-AWAITED
CELESTIAL
ALIGNMENT WILL OCCUR, AND THE
TREASURES OF THE EMERALD OASIS
CAN BE REVEALED!...
...TO THOSE
WHO KNOW WHERE
AND HOW...
TO LOOK...
...BUT...
WE MUST BE THERE AND READY!"
FINISHES THE WOMAN...
SO,
HSR,
WHO KNOWS THE AREA
LIKE THE BACK OF HIS HAND,
AGREES,
SINCE
HE IS AN ADVENTUROUS ONE
...`BY HIS DNA...
NOW,
HE SAYS TO THE LADY,
WHILE LOOKING AT THE STARS,
"IT IS BETWEEN
NORTHEAST AND
EAST NORTHEAST
FROM HERE!"
AND,
AFTER SOME
OBLIGATORY PRAYERS...
THEY FINALLY START
THE FIRST STEPS
OF THIS UNSURE
JOURNEY,
WITH THE WOMAN
BRINGING THE REAR, AND HSR
LEADING THE WAY
AND,
THEY MAKE THEIR TREK DEEPER
INTO THE
SEARING HOT SAND,
BUT,
IN A WHILE,
A GIGANTIC SAND STORM
STARTS TO ENVELOP THEM
...NOT DETERRED!
OMG!
THEY LUCKILY FIND REFUGE
IN AN ABANDONED TENT
IN THE MIDDLE
OF NOWHERE,
EXCUSE ME,
IN THE MIDDLE OF
THE DESERT,
AND IT IS THERE,
AFTER A WHILE,
THAT HSR IS
COUNSELED BY THE WOMAN
TO FALL ASLEEP!
NOW, HSR QUICKLY
CONTACTS, OF COURSE...
'THE SAND MAN,'
IN NO TIME,
AFTER CLOSING HIS EYES...
BUT
HE STARTS TO
KICK AND FLAIL SOME,
AT THE START
OF HIS VIVID DREAMS...
SO,
THE WOMAN HAS TO HOLD
HSR
TIGHT
TO KEEP HIS BODY STILL
A LITTLE...
NOW, HSR DREAMS ABOUT STRANGE
THINGS
THAT SEEM TO HAVE
FLUID MEANINGS...
THEN,
HE HAS VISIONS
OF HIS CAMELS
IN A MEMORABLE MOMENT
AND A GIRL
HE ADMIRES BACK HOME
ALONG WITH HER SISTER
AND HIS BIG BROTHER,
WHO IS A GREAT WARRIOR...
AND...
...HIS BROTHER SEEMS TO SAY,
"IN THE GREAT DESERT,
ONLY BELIEVE
SOME OF WHAT YOU SEE, AND
A LITTLE BIT LESS
OF WHAT YOU HEAR,
BUT TRUST 100%
OF YOURSELF!"
...
NOW, IN HIS
'WINDY SLEEP,'
HSR
DREAMS ABOUT
A CHARACTER...WHO SPEAKS,
"I AM THE PRINCE
OF SANDLANDIA...AND SHE
IS MY PRINCESS!"
"YOUNG MAN,"
THE PRINCE SAYS,
"PLEASE LISTEN VERY CAREFULLY...
...TO FIND THE
EMERALD OASIS
AND COME BACK SAFELY
YOU MUST TRAVERSE THE LANDSCAPE
OF YOUR INNER SELF"...
...
"NOW," THE PRINCE CONTINUES,
IN HSR'S DREAM,
"GO AND SPEAK TO
THIS WOMAN IN FRONT OF YOU"...
"YOUNG MAN,
PLEASE COME IN"
...SAYS THE LADY,
"I HAVE BEEN WAITING
CENTURIES
FOR SOMEONE...THE RIGHT ONE...
TO ENTER
HERE!
...PLEASE, SIR...SIT
AND INHALE MY MAGIC OILS
"YOU, SIR...'THE ONE WHO
PERCEIVES TRUTH'...
...I DO NOT KNOW
WHAT YOU ARE
ABOUT TO EXPERIENCE!..
BUT...
THIS WILL OPEN WIDE DOORS TO
THE PATHWAYS
ON WHICH
YOU NEED TO GO!"
NOW, HSR THINKS TO HIMSELF,
"HOW MANY LAYERS
IS MY DREAM
GOING TO HAVE TONIGHT?"
AND THEN,
THE POTION...
HITS HIM...
HARD!...
HSR TILTS BACK IN HIS SEAT...
NOW,
THE WOMAN SAYS,
"SIR, JUST RELAX...
AND DO NOT HOLD ANY THOUGHTS!"
"OKAY"... SPEAKS HSR...
OMG!...
HIS DREAM BODY
IS 'WHACKED'
WITH FEELINGS SO
OTHERWORLDY...
AND HSR THINKS,
"I WONDER WHERE ALL OF THIS
IS TAKING ME?"...
"HSR," THE WOMAN SPEAKS...
NOW,
HSR OPENS HIS EYES
IN HIS DREAM
BUT,
NOW...THE WOMAN LOOKS LIKE THIS!
"HSR, JUST LOOK, AT
BUT,
DO NOT STUDY, THESE TABLETS!"...
...A FLOW OF THOUGHTS
WILL EMERGE...
...JUST FEEL THEM!...
AS YOU OBSERVE!
NOW,
TAKE ONE MORE POTION...
...HERE...
...THAT'S RIGHT!"...
"DO NOT BREATHE IT OUT!
HOLD IT ALL IN!...
...THAT'S RIGHT...JUST LIKE THAT!"
NOW, HSR FEELS
FAT IN THE FACE
AND LIPS AND
THE EFFECTS COME ON SO
STRONG THAT HE FEELS LIKE
HE IS HIT BY A
...NOW,
HE SEES THIS
AND THEN,
"WT EVERLASTIN' _ !"
NOW,
THE WOMAN SAYS,
"SIR, TO IMPLANT
THE NEEDED
SUBLIMINAL NEURONAL CONNECTIONS
...DRINK THIS
AND HSR
OBEDIENTLY
SWALLOWS
EVERY LAST DROP!...
IMMEDIATELY, HE SEES
HIS
CONSCIOUSNESS ASCENDING!...
AND...HE NOW SEES
A PICTURE OF HIS GRANDMOTHER
AND A PICTURE OF
...HER GRANDMOTHER!
MEANWHILE...BACK ON REAL EARTH,
HSR IS
SWEATING PROFUSELY IN HIS SLEEP!
AND THE WOMAN, SEEING THIS,
THINKS,
"HSR IS GOING THROUGH A LOT...
I MUST KEEP HIM CONNECTED
TO THIS REALITY!"
SO,
TO COOL HIM,
SHE UNCOVERS HIM,
AND,
SHE
TRIES TO SOOTHE HIM!...
AND KEEP HIM STRONG!
...
NOW, HSR,
STILL IN HIS FRENETIC DREAM
SAYS,
"OH,
THAT'S MY
CAMEL, ALYA!"...
NOW,
THE MAGICAL OIL WOMAN SAYS,
"WATCH THE PATHS AND
THE MESSAGES OF THESE
ORBS!
...MANY PEOPLE WILL TRY
TO INTERCEPT
YOU AND
YOUR TREASURES
ON YOUR JOURNEY!
BUT...THEY ARE
NOT
TO SUCCEED!...
I AM SENDING SHAA
WITH YOU
AS BACK UP...
...TO APPEAR ONLY WHEN NEEDED!...
...REMEBER, HSR...YOU ARE
'THE PERCEIVER AND DISCOVERER
OF TRUTH'...
...WHO WILL...
...HELP SHOW THE TRUTH APPARENT!...
NOW, MY SON,
RISE WITH THE SUN
YOUNG MAN...
AND START YOUR
JOURNEY OF DESTINY!"
THEN,
HSR'S DREAM ABRUPTLY
COMES TO AN END!
YET, HE STILL SLEEPS!
BUT,
JUST THEN,
A RED FOG
EVILLY ENTERS INTO THE TENT!
AND THE WOMAN KNOWS
THAT
SHE MUST ACT QUICKLY!
SHE HAS SEEN THE FOG BEFORE, AND SHE
KNOWS THAT NO ONE PERSON IS A
MATCH FOR
THE ENVELOPING
CRIMSON CLOUD...
BUT,
TWO PEOPLE EMBRACING...
HAVE SUPREME IMMUNITY!
SO,
SHE SHOUTS,
"BE GONE
YOU EVIL HAZE!"
THEN,
SHE HUGS HIM REAL TIGHT...
IMMEDIATELY!...
...YES!...
AND IT WORKS!
NOW,
THE RED FOG
QUICKLY SENSES THIS
CONNECTION...
AND ANGRILY...
...MOVES ON,
UNSATISFIED...
HSR, STILL IN THE SLUMBER,
SLEEPS IT ALL OFF
ONE WHOLE DAY MORE,
UNDER THE STRONG
AND RECURRING
HOT SUN
AND THE PROTECTIONS
OF THE WOMAN,
FROM THE
RETURNING RED CLOUD,
AND FROM
THE THREATS OF THE
WINDS OF THE
WHIPPING
AND HOWLING
SAND STORM!
AND FINALLY,
HSR WAKES UP AND SEES
THE WOMAN...
...AND SHE ASKS,
"HOW DO YOU FEEL?...
YOUR SLEEP WAS RESTLESS!"...
WITH DANGERS ALL AROUND!"
AND HSR SAYS,
"THAT'S STRANGE, BECAUSE I HAVE
AND FEEL MORE ENERGY
IN MY BONES
THAN EVER!...
...BUT...
WHAT'S THIS...UNDER ME...
...POKING ME"?...
HSR TAKES HIS HAND AND
REACHES UNDER THE CARPET
ON WHICH HE LAYS
AND
HE UNEARTHS AN
UNEXPLIANABLE CRYSTAL!
"OH MY GOSH!...HSR,
YOU HAVE FOUND THE
"ROCK OF VISION"
THAT WILL REFLECT THE LOCATION
DURING THE ALIGNMENT!...
WE, INDEED,
ARE BEING HELPED RIGHT NOW!"
SHE EXCLAIMS...
"BUT...WE MUST LEAVE AT ONCE!"
SHE ULTIMATUMS...
"YES, WE MUST!"
HSR SAYS,
WITH A DETERMINED
AND CONQUERING VOICE!...
BUT
JUST THEN...
HSR'S INNER MIND
IS WARNINGLY JOLTED
BY A VISION
OF SOME
'SAND PARA-HUMAN'
THREATS
THAT LAY AHEAD!
"WE MUST BE CAREFUL!" WARNS HSR...
AND AFTER SOME WALKING
HSR ENCOUNTERS
SOME ENEMIES
AND MUST
VANQUISH THE ANOMALIES!
...GREAT!
AND AFTER MOVING FARTHER ALONG...
HE
ENCOUNTERS A HUGE MONSTER,
BUT,
HSR IS
QUICK ON HIS FEET
AND
WITH HIS SWORD,
TO SLASH THE UNDERBELLY
OF THE BEAST!
THEN SUDDENLY,
THE SKY GOES DARK
LIKE SOME ATMOSPHERIC POWERS
WANT TO
'JOIN THE FRAY!'
"HSR,' THE WOMAN POINTS OUT...
"LET'S HIDE IN THERE
FOR A WHILE!"
"GOOD IDEA!,"
SAYS HSR ,"
THINGS SEEM TO BE
GETTING WORSE
AS WE GET CLOSER!"
SO
THEY AND THE CAMELS
GO IN THE CAVE
AND HSR LOOKS BACK
AT THE ENTRANCE...
"HSR!...LOOK AT THAT!"
THE WOMAN SAYS...
"SOMETHING DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT, HERE!"
REPLIES HSR...
"YOU'RE RIGHT ABOUT THAT,
YOU TWO!"
SAYS THIS
UGLY CREATURE!
"THE TREASURE THAT YOU SEEK
IS
VERY CLOSER TO HERE...AND
...YOU MAY HAVE IT!...
JUST...
LEAVE THE WOMAN WTH ME!
HA HA HA!"
"NEVER!" SAYS HSR,
AS HE PULLS OUT HIS SWORD!
"THAT'S FINE WITH ME, TOO!"
SAYS THE CREATURE.
THEN,
THE BEAST
CALLS OUT,
"RONOCK! HERE'S SOME FOOD FOR YOU!!"
AND NOW... TO THE OTHER SIDE,
A VISCIOUS MONSTER EMERGES!
BUT HSR
AND
HIS SWORD
STAND READY!...
...
THE FIGHT WITH THE DARK FORCES
IN THE CAVE
TAKES A WHILE,
WITH MANY SLASHINGS
OF HIS SWORDS,
AND THE
SCREAMING AND YELLING
OF THE DYING MONSTERS
ECHO DEEP
INTO THE LOWER BOWELS
OF THE CAVE,
MAKING MORE MONSTERS
COME OUT!...
...“LET’S LEAVE THIS CAVE!”
SHE SAYS,
AND THEY BOTH EXIT
WITH THE CAMELS
AND SUPPLIES…
…NOW,
ONCE OUTSIDE,
IT IS A
BRIGHT AND SUNNY DAY,
WITHOUT A SEARING HEAT…
“YOU FOUGHT VALIANTLY IN THE CAVE,”
SHE ADMITS,
“LIKE YOU ARE A MAN POSSESED!”…
“POSSESED WITH THE RIGHT STUFF, I HOPE,"
HSR
SMILES…
AND
AS THEY CONTINUE
TO STRIDE
IN
THE SANDS,
FOR ANOTHER DAY AND NIGHT,
AND…
OF COURSE THEY SEE
‘MIRAGES’
OF SOME DESIRED SITES!...
...ESPECIALLY SITES LIKE
VAST LAKES OF
WHAT COULD BE COLD AND DELICIOUS WATER!...BUT…
...ALAS…EACH TIME…
IT IS ONLY
THE HEAT RISING
FROM THE
DISTANT LANDSCAPE!...
…BUT WAIT!...
...WHAT IS THIS!...
...IN THE DISTANCE…
...A LARGE AND SOLITARY TREE,
SEEMS TO
DEFIANTLY POSE,
IN THE MIDDLE OF
WHAT SEEMS TO BE A WATERLESS ENVIRON!...
“LET’S TAKE A REST
IN THE SHADE OF THAT
WELCOMING TREE
FOR A WHILE,”
THEY AGREE…
AND AFTER
THEY LAY THEIR BACKS
AGAINST THE TREE,
THEY BOTH
ENTER INTO A
CAUTIOUS SLUMBER,
HOWEVER,
IN A WHILE,
THEY ARE AWAKENED
BY SOME LOUD SQUAWKING BIRDS!...
...AND OMGOSH!...
THEY OPEN THEIR EYES
TO SEE
A REAL WATER SOURCE!...
SO, AS HSR SPLASHES IN
AND GULPS DOWN
SOME OF THE WELCOME WATER,
AND THE WOMAN FILLS THE WATER JUGS
AND THE CAMELS IMBIBE AWAY,
A VISION OF THE PROTECTOR,
SHAA, APPEARS,
AND SHE STATES,
"PREPARE YOURSELF,
FOR THERE IS
MUCH WORSE TROUBLE AHEAD!"
"MAYBE IT’S BEST
FOR US TO LEAVE RIGHT NOW...
...IN THAT DIRECTION!"
HE SAYS...
AND RIGHT THEN,
THE EARTH
STARTS TO
QUAKE
WITH A LOW AND THUNDEROUS RUMBLE ,
AND,
ON THE OTHER SIDE
OF A TALL SAND BAR
NEXT TO THEM,
A LONG AND DEEP ROAR
EMANATES
AND
SURROUNDS THEM
WITH A FEAR-PRODUCING SOUND
THAT CAN ONLY PORTEND
A
PAINFUL AND IMPENDING DOOM!
BUT…WHOA!...
...THEN,
HSR’S
SWORD
STARTS
TO GET
WARM TO THE TOUCH,
SEEMINGLY
GIVING THANKS
FOR THE OPPORTUNITY
TO BE
'IN THE ACTION'
OF
ITS MASTER!

The Birth of Our Nation,
long ago
was sort of like a
Baptism By Fire!
We wanted
and needed,
and deserved Freedom
from England!
But Boy,
did We have to
Fight for it!
And it is This Fight,
especially the Crossing of the
Delaware River.
to take the
offensive with
a Surprise Attack against the British
in 1776
on Christmas Night in
Trenton, New Jersey!
And some
of the Soldiers of the Continental Army
wanted to
have the Best Chances of Victory!
So,
it has been rumored
that
one of the U.S. Soldiers
talked to a Good Friend
and the Friend said,
"If you want
Our Pastor To
Ask and Pray
for Strength
from the Lord to
help us with
Our Righteous Victory...
...just ask him...He's at the Church!
So,
the Soldier
arrives at the Church
and talks with the
Pastor
to ask for
Protection and Guidance for
the U.S. Troops
going into
This Battle!
"I'll raise this
Holy Request
at Our
Christmas Night Service,
Young Man!"
says the Pastor!
"Thank you for
everything,
Pastor!" says
the
Soldier...
Now, as the Christmas Service at
the Church gets
underway,
it starts to
snow and get
really Freezing Cold!
And now,
the Pastor,
as he starts
his Sermon,
says,
"Dear Lord,
One the Ten Commandments is,
'Thou Shall Not Kill!'
But These Men Among Men
Especially Men from other
Countries,
far, far away,
are Coming into Our Backyards
and they are
trying to Conquer Us!
And subjugate Us
To Their Way of Life!"
And the People
in the Church Shout
in Acknowledgement!
"And they are
Killing Our People and Our Soldiers!
...Yet...in Leviticus...
...it says,
"An Eye for an Eye...
...and a Tooth for a Tooth!"
And the Congregation
erupts again!
And the Pastor continues,
"There is Very inclimate Weather
and
lots of Sleet and Snow and
Ice in the
Delaware River,
but,
still help them
Cross...Give them the
Strength
to Row Hard and
to make it!...
And Defeat
the Enemy!
...For Our Future
depends on Our Resolve
and Our
Trust and Your Guidance!"
And...as the Pastor
continues,
it seems that
there are
Heavenly
Assurances happening!
"Help our Soldiers Cross that River,
in Our Full Numbers
and Our Full Strengths, and
with Our Full Munitions,
and also to
spare the Enemy and take them
as Prisoners
as We can!...
...And may Our Men
'Dig Deep'
within Themselves
"And Dear Lord, Please
Continue 'Putting Up With Us'...
as We as a
Whole Imperfect People and Country
grow as One!"
And now...Whoa!...
Well, what do you know...
...with General Washington's Men in place
and 'Ready to Pounce,"
...all that the
British Forces in Trenton
see...
...and suspect...
is
a Silence...
Before the Storm
of Our Attack!
"However...
Father God!...
"So, I must say...
You now!"...
So, HSR...
...You like My 'Fro?...
