This 4th Of July...We Honor The...Fictional Black Dentist Who...Saves Fifty Black School Kids During... Heavy Revolutionary War Fighting!...

 

A Dentist is starting off the nice day 

beautifully by

watching the sunrise over 

Rhode Island's

Nanaquaket Pond


and listening to 


noisy Birds

and nosy


Turkeys.


So, Doctor Christopher Locanda,

who apprenticed in France and Spain,

is in no hurry to leave, so he

slowly stands up and 

lazily stretches for a couple of minutes,

then he 

proceeds at a relaxed pace 

back to his Cabin/Dental office,


and on his way,

he pauses to admire a

hard-working 


beaver community.


Now,

upon reaching his office,

Doctor Christopher Locanda,

sees a bunch of kids standing by 

the front door!...with an Adult.


As he walks over to them, some of the children say,

"Hi, Doctor Locanda!...We

heard about you!"


And another says, 

"You fix teeth, huh, Mister?


"He's a Doctor, Shola!...Call him Doctor," says

this Lady...their Teacher...

"Hi there, Doctor Locanda, I'm their teacher,

Mrs. Jamison...All fifty of us 

are from a school about two miles 

down the way,

and 

we decided to take a field trip and find out

more of what you do," she explains 

as she shakes hands with the Doctor...


Now, the Doctor says, "Oh boy, it looks like 

I'm, I mean we...

are going to have some fun today! But first...

...I need to know who wants some

fried fish cakes!"


And these kids say,

"I do, I do, I do!"


"We want some too,

Doctor!"


And this little one asks, "Are those

real fish cakes?"


"You betcha!" smiles the Doctor!


So as he fixes at least two fish cakes for 

each of the

big crowd of kids,


while he explains what he does as a Dentist.


"How did you learn how to cook

so good," ask

these students.


"My Daddy taught me how to cook them,

and my brothers taught me how to eat them!," he laughs.


"Did your brothers, leave you any,

ask these two.


I had eight brothers and four sisters and 

if I ate slow, I was on a diet!,"

says Dr. Locanda,

and all the kids laugh, including the teacher.


But when they were about finished,

they all hear some

loud noises and explosions, plus 

a lot of gun shots.


Now, one of the Doctor's neighbors

rushes by and warns, 

"There are

soldiers from both sides coming this way!

All of you better leave and get out of here now!

That battling of the Revolutionary War is  

getting closer!


Now, all of the kids don't look

so happy!


So, Dr. Locanda immediately 

tells everyone to 

follow him to a safe place, 

while he scoops up the remaining fish cakes.


And wow, do those kids

make haste out of there and into a wooded area,

because there are

active

Revolutionary War maneuverings with

soldiers


on both sides 'biting the dust!'


Now, the fleeing group comes upon a member of 

the1st Rhode Island Regiment of the Continental Army 

in the woods, and he directs, 

"Why don't you all...

go deeper into the woods to get more safe...and go 

east to the Big Pond!"


"Great idea," says Doctor Locanda...Soon, the Doctor finds a  cave and all fifty of them  go 

inside

and see this...


...and, moving right along, 

they see this further on...


...and the same little boy asks,


"You know where you're going, right?"

"I sure do," says the Doctor...

And they travel some more, 

but soon, they encounter some


...OMGosh...Bats!...Making one of the 

Little Black Girls


yell for help!...

which, in turn, makes all of

the


Bats scatter!


Well, they finally get out of there...and...yes...

they make it to 

Nanaquaket Pond!


Whoa!...Will you look at this!...

...Another Brave Soldier from the 1st Rhode Island Regiment 

is stationed at the ready on the shore 

of the Pond...


And he smiles "Welcome all My Brothers and Sisters!"


Now,

this girl asks, "Can you save us from this War?"


And the Ship's Captain says , "Yes I can!"


But wouldn't you know it!...Some kids are already in the water

splashing around and 

having a good time!


But after a while, 

the same little boy runs up to 

Doctor Christopher Locanda and asks,


"You're going to take us Home and bring us 

back here tomorrow...with fried Fish Cakes?"


And the Good Doctor looks at the Boy and 

Mrs. Jamison and the others and Smiles and says,

..."Sounds good to Me!"

A Daring Dentist's...Wild, Mysterious And Dangerous...Desert Treasure Odyssey!...



Doctor Hollywood Smiles Report aka HSR,

was also living in the B.C.s, 

in a far

off land,

and this is where he,

as a twenty-year-old


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 SANDS,

BUT,

IN A WHILE,

A GIGANTIC SAND STORM 

STARTS TO ENVELOP THEM 


BUT HSR IS


...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!" 

HE REPLIES...


"YOU'RE RIGHT ABOUT THAT, 

YOU TWO!" 

SAYS THIS

UGLY CREATURE!

"THE TREASURE THAT YOU SEEK 

IS 

VERY CLOSE 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,"


HE 





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!...



...




"YES,"


AFFIRMS THE WOMAN,


"WE INDEED ARE IN THE


SPECIAL 



PLACE WHERE



WE NEED TO BE!"






HSR, REPLIES,


" I WONDER WHAT KIND OF FORCE


WE WILL



'ENTANGLE WITH' 


NEXT


BY THIS



SECRET OASIS?"



SO, AS HSR KNEELS 

AND 

BENDS OVER FORWARD 

TO DRINK SOME

RIVER WATER...

...SOMETHING 

OR SOMEONE

APPEARS ON THE 

OTHER SIDE OF

THE 

WATER'S SURFACE!


NOW, 

THE UNDERWATER 

WOMAN SAYS,

"OH THIRSTY 

AND RECEPTIVE TRAVELER!...


WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR

YOU TO SHOW UP!

...I KNOW THAT YOU ARE 

'THE ONE'...

...BUT...TO CONVINCE YOU,

I ASK YOU TO

DIP YOUR HANDS INTO

THE WATER!"




AND WHEN HE DOES,

THEY START TO 


'SPARKLE!'




I NOW ASK YOU 

TO

TAKE A DEEP BREATH 

OF AIR AND

JOIN ME UNDERWATER!"



SO 

HSR FILLS HIS LUNGS 

THEN

WADES FROM THE SHORE,

INTO THE WATER,

AND WHEN FULLY SUBMERGED,

HE ALL OF A SUDDEN FINDS HIMSELF

WALKING INTO A


A BEAUTIFUL

PRIVATE GARDEN!

 


AT THAT TIME, 

ANOTHER PERSON 

APPEARS BEFORE

HIM AND SPEAKS,


"I ASK OF YOU 

ONLY 

TWO IMPORTANT QUESTIONS!...

...ONE...DO YOU HAVE THE CRYTAL?"



"YES," SAYS HSR

AS HE PULLS IT OUT TO


SHOW HER!




"AND...

WHEN YOU MET THE

PRINCE OF

SANDLANDIA,

WAS THE AIR AROUND HIM


STILL AND PEACEFUL?"




"NO," HE 

EMPHATICALLY RESPONDS,

"THE PRINCE WAS IN A VIOLENT


SANDSTORM!"




IMMEDIATELY AFTER

GIVING THE

ANSWERS THAT SHE

WAS WAITING FOR,

SHE

WAVES AND TURNS

AROUND AND GIVES 


THE COMMAND FOR HSR...



"SEEK THE ANSWERS TO

THE CELESTIAL ALIGNMENT


IN A ROOM

BEHIND THESE

WALLS!"




SUDDENLY,

IN THE GARDEN


A WALL

RUMBLES AND RECEDES

AND EXPOSES


AN OPENING!...

...WHICH REVEALS...

UNUSUAL


STAIRS!




"NOW, 

ASCEND 'THE STEPS OF 

THE

'ASTRONOMICAL TRUTHS,' MY TRAVELER," 

SHE DIRECTS...





TAKING SLOW AND 

CAREFUL STEPS

ON HIS WAY UP,

HSR FINALLY GETS TO THE

APEX 

AND

SCANS  AN 

UNBELIEVEABLE 

CELESTIAL 


HORIZON!




...







THE GODDESS IN THE SKY NOW FORMS

AND LOOKS DOWN

UPON THEM

AND PROCLAIMS,

"WALK 3,000 PACES...EXACTLY...TO

SOUTH SOUTH-WEST FROM HERE,

THEN RAISE THE CRYSTAL AND

ALIGN IT TO THE HEAVENS...

...THEN WATCH AND SENSE FOR...THE SIGNS!"


AND SHE FINISHES HER MESSAGE, 

"BEWARE OUT THERE, 

AND KNOW THAT...MANY 

HAVE TRIED YOUR TASK, 

BUT...

... NONE HAVE SURVIVED!"

THEN, 

THE GODDESS MOVES AWAY 

INTO THE MISTS ABOVE.


"UH OH... THE SKY IS STARTING TO DARKEN," 

NOTICES HSR...


"THIS IS THE SIGN TO BE AT THE READY," 

MENTIONS THE WOMAN...


SUDDENLY...

...A STRONG SWISH OF WIND HITS THEM, 

MAKING THEM CLOSE THEIR EYES, 

AND 

WHEN THEY OPEN THEM, 

THEY SEE 

AN ANCIENT SWORD

ROTATING ABOVE THE GROUND.


"THAT MUST BE A GIFT FROM SHAA,"

SAYS HSR, "THANKS MUCH!"


NOW, HE HEARS A SWOOSHING SOUND, 

AND 

WHEN HE TURNS TO LOOK, 

HE SEES

A BAT SKIMMING ON THE OASIS WATER, 

AND 

DARTING HIS WAY!...BARING HUNGRY FANGS! 


AND THERE ARE MORE OF THEM 

COMING HIS WAY...NOW HE SWINGS AND SWINGS AND SWINGS AT THE THOUSANDS 

OF DEADLY BATS.


AND AFTER A WHILE, 

ALL OF THE BATS LAY DEAD...

...THEN...

...THEY ALL JUST...BURST INTO

 ...DISAPPEARING PARTICLES.



"YOU SUCCEEDED IN THAT TEST," SAYS THE WOMAN...


AND RIGHT AT THAT MOMENT, 

FEELING

A PRESENCE, HSR TURNS 

AND SEES

AN ODD AND OMINOUS CREATURE 

THAT IMMEDIATELY TRIES TO...


...SWALLOW HIM UP!...

LIKE A VACUUM...


OH NO...IT'S GETTING CLOSER!

HOWEVER, 

JUST AS THE MONSTER IS MAKING 

A FINAL LEAP TO DEVOUR HIM, 

HE SLIPS QUICKLY TO THE SIDE 

AND SLICES SWIFTLY AT THE NECK  OF THE BEAST, 

DECAPITATING IT...


IN THE NOW QUIET SANDY ENVIRON, THEY BOTH LOOK AROUND HESITANTLY,

THEN THE WOMAN 

WALKS AND

TURNS TO HER RIGHT AND SHOUTS, 

"WATCH OUT!...THE SAND ZOMBIES!"

AND HE SEES ONE, 

TWO, 

THREE, 

MAYBE 

THREE HUNDRED, AND HE SCREAMS,

"ALL OF THEM SHOULD BE 

RESTING IN PEACE, 

BUT 

THEY'RE NOT...SO...I'LL HAVE TO SEND THEM ON THEIR WAY!"


AND WITH EACH STRONG SLICE AND HIT OF THE SWORD,

THE ZOMBIES SCREAM A CURDLING NOISE, 

THEN...

AS THEY FALL, 

THEY... 

...COLORFULLY EVAPORATE!...



NOW THE WOMAN LIGHTS A CANDLE AND EVENTUALLY 

FINDS THE TALISMAN THAT SHE STRATEGICALLY

DROPPED BEFORE ALL OF THE 

CHALLENGES COMMENCED.


"GOOD THINKING TO MARK THE STARTING SPOT," 

SAYS A 

THANKFUL HSR.


THE WOMAN SPEAKS BACK, 

AS THEY WALK,

"REMEMBER THAT THE STARS SLOWLY ROTATE 

AROUND THE NORTH STAR, 

SO 

WE SHOULD 

ADJUST OUR DIRECTIONS ACCORDINGLY 

THROUGH THE NIGHT."
