We wake up in the morning with no problem at 6 A.M.. After getting cleaned up and having our morning meal, I open the balcony door for Amber and Cobalt to leave with Traphel and the other two fairies.

Once they are gone, Croin flies into me as I get ready to leave the apartment. Once it is locked up, I drive to the Raleigh Police department. I park my car in the parking lot. When I walk inside the foyer area, I see Corporal Lonigan there waiting for me.

“Hello, Richard. Are you ready to see Josh?”

“As ready as I will ever be, Corporal.”

“That’s good. Let’s see and hear what Josh has to say.”

I follow Corporal Lonigan through the building and exit out the back door. I follow him to his squad car.

“You’ll have to sit in the rear. There is too much stuff we have to worry about now. The front passenger seat has become our mini-office.”

“Yes, Corporal.”

I open the passenger’s door and sit down and close the door. The corporal gets in and turns on the engine. We leave the parking lot area and get on the main street out of Raleigh. It takes about a half-hour to arrive at the county prison. We get out and walk to the main office. We check ourselves in. I empty my pockets of keys and wallet. It is inventoried and put into a brown envelope.

“It will be returned to you when come back, Richard.”

“Thank you, sir.”

“Richard, before you see Josh. I just want to thank you for teaching those martial art classes. They really helped us here.”

“That’s good. This just to let you know, I’ll be assisting again at the station. I just earned my first degree in the brown sash. I’ll show some new defenses against some better trained martial artists.”

“That’s great, Richard. I’ll be sure to get my rotation approved for that. Good luck with Josh.”

“Thank you, Sergeant.”

Corporal Lonigan escorts me to the meeting room, which is about four doors and gates before we get there. As soon as I walk in, I see Josh handcuffed to his chair. He sees me come inside. He squirms and flinches a bit when he recognizes me. I see his face has some cuts and bruises. I sit in the chair opposite from him. There is a small table between us. Corporal Lonigan stands back in the room to let us talk to each other.

“Hello, Josh.”

“Hello, Richard. You’re probably wondering why I asked you here.”

“Are you asking forgiveness from me?”

“Nah . . . that’s not it. I deserve my time here. I thought about what you said to my crew and my time with the psychs here. I’m not making any excuses. When I got out of juvenile hall, my dad was extremely disappointed in me. He won’t admit it, but he didn’t spend enough time with me while I was growing up. All he wanted from me was to get straight A’s and go to his private high school alma mater. He wanted me to continue in his line of work at the auto dealership.”

“I take it you didn’t like being spoon fed by him and the babysitters.”

“Nope, I didn’t like it one bit. I thought about this long and hard . . . sigh.” Josh looks up at the Corporal. “Corporal Lonigan, come here. I have some news for you to give to your Captain.”

Corporal Lonigan walks up to the table. “What is it, Josh?”

“This is one of the reasons why I want Richard here. I want to report my dad to you. You need to check out my dad’s business. He owns a car dealership back in South Carolina. I remember seeing some shady deals with some expensive cars. I know my cars and what to look for. I think there is a chop-shop involved in the background. I saw some VIN numbers on several parts missing. They looked like they were grounded off.”

“I’ll give the word to the Captain. You realize this doesn’t change what you did to get here.”

“I know, sir. I’m willing to do the time. Don’t worry about that. I have no intention of going after Richard anymore. I learned my lesson on that big time. Once I recovered here and became part of the inmate population, some gangs we had some beef against us came after me. They did this to my face. I gave it right back at them.” Josh smiles.

We smile back at him.

“Oh, this is just to let you know. I’ve decided to continue on and earn the brown and black sashes at the Shaolin dojo.”

Josh smirks with a grin, “That’s good Richard. You’ll need it. I pity the fool who comes against you the next time. They will deserve it. So you might say, with this new attitude of mine. You finally have my respect. You stood up to me twice and called my bluff. If any of them come here after you deal with them, I’ll make sure they understand why they are here.”

“That’s fine, Josh. What will you do when you get out after 25 years?”

“I don’t know, Richard. I know I won’t be around dad that is for sure. He will have his own problems once he gets caught. Corporal, look out for my mom and my sister on this case. I would like to see her again and apologize to her. She knew I was being influenced by dad more than her. She tried to protect me. She did get hit and abused by my dad a few times.”

Corporal Lonigan smiles, “I sure will, Josh. People like your dad are like a bad virus. He needs to take responsibility for his actions.”

“He sure does, Corporal. Well, Richard, enjoy your freedom. I won’t get it until dad is behind bars.”

“You take care, Josh.”

“Who knows, if you’re in an alley somewhere and need some back up? You might find me there.”

“That will be something to see.” I reach my hand forward. Josh reaches for my hand as far as possible. I shake hands with him. Then I see his face change quickly.

“What just happened, Richard? I hear a voice I haven’t heard since I was five or six in Sunday School class.”

“Listen to that inner voice, Josh. You just might get a big surprise in your life.”

He smiles at me, “I sure will, Richard. Thank you very much.”

I smile back at him, “You’re welcome.”

I get up and turn around and walk out of the meeting room with Corporal Lonigan.

“What just happened there, Richard?”

“Here, let me shake your hand, Corporal.”

“Sure thing, Richard.”

We shake hands. I see his face change as well. I smile at his reaction.

“Who is that speaking to me, Richard?”

“It is the Creator of the Universe. This is what he wants all along with his Creation. You just gained a very important ally. He will help you make better decisions in life and here as a police officer. You can share it with other people. You’ll know if they accept it or not.”

“Now that is very cool. I like it a lot. What about the hard core cases?”

“Those who don’t hear it, will probably be the hardened criminals who have too much hate. But there is hope. We just saw Josh have a new outlook on life. Hopefully as time goes on, the prison populations will get smaller with each generation.”

“We would love to see that, Richard. Well, let me get you back to the station. I need to make a copy of that meeting we just had and give it to the Captain. His dad will need to be checked out if Josh is right about him.”

We exit through the series of doors until we get back to the check in office. I sign the sheet on the clip board. My car keys and wallet are returned to me. Corporal Lonigan makes a request to get a copy of the conversation we just had. It takes about ten minutes to get a copy made and downloaded onto a disk. He signs for it and puts the MP10 disk in his shirt pocket.

We leave the station and the corporal drives back to the station. I then spend the next half-hour being debriefed by the county DA and the Captain. We replay the disk for their benefit. They agree this needs to be taken to a higher level with the FBI. We make another copy, one more for the police station records, the DA takes the original.

They are surprised by the exchange between Josh and me that we had some sort of reconciliation. The DA agrees that the mother and sister should be protected as quickly as possible. He will meet with the local FBI office in Raleigh and take the next set of steps needed for an investigation.

Once we are done, I tell them I will see them this Saturday for my first session at 8 A.M.. I leave the station and get back to my car. I drive back to my apartment. Croin speaks up to talk about what we just witnessed.

“That was an interesting meeting, Richard.”

“It was, Croin. There might be hope for Josh after all.”

“I did check your memory about Josh. Who knows what can be accomplished with Josh in the prison system now.”

“Yes, anything is possible. But we need to be wary, Croin. This is just the beginning to bring change to Earth. There are still plenty of enemies to deal with.”

“That’s right, Richard.”

I drive back to the apartment and get there by 11 A.M.. As I walk back to the apartment, I get rejoined by the butterflies I recognize as fairies. They fly up to the balcony to get their rest. I walk up the stairs and down the hallway. I unlock the door and walk inside and close the door behind me. I lock it as well. I walk over to the balcony and open the door. The butterflies come in quickly and change to fairies just as quickly.

We talk about what we did this morning. Amber and Cobalt are shown more of the college campus and where I go for relaxation and exercise. I tell them about what happened when I met Josh. We all hope there will be an improvement with the prison inmates as time goes on. We all have lunch together on the dining room table. Traphel and the others appreciate the offer of the noon meal.

Time goes on for a typical year at NC State.

I stop by the game shop when I can. I do some duels to see if I’m understanding the rules on the cards. I get beat about ninety percent of the time. That is because I have these starter decks. I still have to learn how to put a good deck together with the cards I have. It seems hopeless at times. The only wins I get are when I zero the opponent out of the game, but that was against a beginner as well. I always lose to the better player.

There are times I would see a figure moving on the card in the starter deck or on display in the cabinet. So, I start putting those starter cards together for my first deck. Then I start to see how they work together. Pretty soon, I got a good small deck of generic cards that works very well.

Some of the players became surprised at some of the combinations I put together. Slowly I purchase a card on display now and then. I ended up calling Anna a few times to explain the purchase of an expensive card. She tells me it is a waste of money. But, she did tell me that until I prove this is for real and I get my 3D system to work, she gives me a limit of ten dollars for a specific card and no more. Purchasing the foil packs was the easiest way to get some of those cards. It took until I graduated from NC State to collect those different types of cards that Ancient Fairy Dragon told me about.

I teach the recruits on the days assigned. I was able to make most of the meetings that we scheduled. There were a few days that had to be missed because of homework and the local football games on Saturdays. There were times, the recruits had to attend the football games for extra security. They did use the Thursday and Sunday meetings to get caught up on what they missed.

When I called the Pastor and Rav to tell them that I’m back, I was able to arrange a midweek meeting with them. We decided to have it at the synagogue.

~~~000~~~

We all rearrange the chairs in a circle. There is Rav, his wife, along with his three elders and wives. The Pastor and his wife are there as well with two deacons and their wives from the church.

“Before we start, Richard. We would like to thank you very much in sharing that gift with us. We have shared it with as many as possible. More and more people are starting to hear the Creator’s Voice. There is more unity now than ever before. We are hoping for a break through with the other religions, sects and denominations as time goes on.”

“That’s good, Rav. When I was in Mt. Blanc, I sensed the pastor there can now hear His Voice as well. We had a nice long talk about it after a service up there.”

“That is great news, Richard.”

“Well, I would like to give an update on myself. Some things have changed about me again. When I arrived in Mt. Blanc that Sunday, I received another message from Twainor.”

I then start telling what happened on Twainor and why I was brought back there. When I mentioned the encounter with the Nefelim, everybody laughed out loud.

“That is great Richard! So, I was listening right to have you study the Nefelim before your classes ended.”

“Thank you for the suggestion, Rav.” I then continued on with the story. They were amazed the Nefelim giants are the ones who caused the events to happen before the Great Flood happened. Then I tell them what happened during the fight on the star ship and the judgement that came afterwards.

“So, they were finally dealt with. But you said there are more of them hidden in their star ships under the ice in Antarctica.”

“I did, Pastor Wellington. But they won’t get thawed out until a thousand years from now. It is when the Creator will have his final confrontation that has been written about, The Ultimate Last Battle.”

“So, it will come to it at last. Too bad none of us will be here to witness it.”

“But I know I will be there.”

“How can you, Richard? You will be dead like the rest of us.”

“That might seem the case, Rav. But something new happened on Twainor. I became the Omega Unicorn.”

“What is that, Richard? I never heard of such a thing in our books.” Wait a second, HaShem. I had a dream several months ago. You said the Omega Unicorn will teach us how to take care of Earth again.

I did Rav Shlomo. That is the Omega Unicorn you are looking at. I chose him for that task and other events that will happen in the future. He will help me keep certain evil men and women in check until the Ultimate Last Battle. He will also help to bring the good forces here to protect Earth at that time.

Hmm . . . That’s interesting, HaShem.

“I know, Rav. There are some things that are hidden from man that only the Creator knows. Not only man needs to be redeemed. Our Earth needs to be redeemed as well. The Cherokees knew about the importance of the unicorn on Earth.”

“That is very true. We have abused this planet and not learned anything in taking care of it properly. It is said we’ll have a new heavens and a new Earth after that last battle takes place.”

“I agree Pastor. It is the same with us in the Torah and the Writings. We never really kept the Jubilee and planting years during the times of Judges and Kings. We learned that the hard way. But how are you involved in this Richard?”

“I was blessed by the Creator to be the Omega Unicorn. I became changed man. This is my proof that I am the Omega Unicorn.” I stand up. Then two butterflies fly out of my pocket and hover around me. I thrust my hands to the side. Then the twelve unicorn images appear, six on either side of me. Croin appears above me. The butterflies change into fairies. Then my armor appears on me.

Everyone has a look of astonishment and amazement.

“I . . . I don’t believe it. But I’m seeing it with my own eyes.”

“It is true. I see unicorns, a dragon and fairies.”

“That’s right my friends. These two fairies are my best friends. They come from Avel the unicorn.”

“You mean the same Avel we know in the Bible?”

“That’s right, Pastor Wellington. Avel’s soul and spirit were put into the body of a unicorn after he was killed. There were six unicorns who left Earth and arrived on Twainor, along with some dwarves, dragons and centaurs. On Noach’s boat were hidden two unicorns and two centaurs, male and female. The fairies easily hid as butterflies. Once they left the boat, the changed from a horse appearance to their normal selves. The dragons were saved when they swam the oceans as sea dragons. Some changed back to land dragons, some stayed as sea dragons.”

“That makes sense now. That is why these stories persisted to this day.”

Then Amber and Cobalt fly around to check out the people. They like what they feel from them. They fly back to me and sit on my shoulders. I put my hands down. The twelve unicorn images return to me. Croin stays above me. “These are good people, Richard. We’ll have to trust them to keep our secret.”

“We must, Amber and Cobalt. These people helped me tremendously and emotionally after my parents were killed. My friends, my life changed very much. You might not know it, but male unicorns give birth to fairies.”

“What?!?!?” They all scream together.

“That’s right. I will be giving birth to my first pair this November. Then I will have a six-month break. Then I will get pregnant again for another nine months. This is an automatic process from the Creator. Even my male children and descendants will continue in giving birth to more fairies. Each generation there will be two boys and two girls. The two girls however will give birth to normal children.”

“This is too much, Richard. Why is that happening?”

“Why don’t you ask the Creator when you go to bed tonight? I remember a story I was told that we have guardian angels watching over us. What this means I think. We’ll each have two fairies watching over us.”

Most of the people giggle and laugh. “If that’s true, Richard. Earth has a long way to go before that happens.”

I continue on telling of my story. Once done, I give my schedule with my classes and the police department. They appreciated it they are told. They will gladly accept anytime that I come by for their services when I can.

The next bit of news I give them is what is going to happen fifty years from now.

“So, there will be some changes happening to Earth, to be part of the Local Group sounds exciting. I agree, Richard. The next one hundred years will be very tough.”

“Well, let’s continue spreading this handshake my friends. This is why it was brought to us this early.”

“Yes, Pastor. That is very important to do. We’ll let the Creator do his job in bringing the people back to him. Our attendances at our services have increased steadily.”

“Ours have too, Rav. We must share this with the other faiths as well. The Creator will deal with them if there are no changes in their attitudes who have a dislike for us.”

Once everything was said and agreed to. We say our ‘see you later’ and ‘goodbyes’. Everyone gets into their cars and drive back to their homes.

~~~000~~~

I did find time to visit those two places of worship. I sensed some healing has begun at Raleigh First. There are very few people left with a hard heart. The ones whom disapproved of me, apologized to me right away. I forgave them so they would feel at ease.

I can see the increase in attendance is going well with each one. They are not bursting at the seams yet, but the quality and reception of the messages are hitting home with each group. They did have to add additional services to accommodate the increase in numbers.

The Creator is doing a wonderful job of bringing the people back to him. Their outreach programs have started to pay with great dividends. They team up once in awhile to show there is unity between them. Some of the other church denominations are trying to figure out what is going on. Pastor Wellington does ask them to come and see for themselves. Some of the visiting pastors finally see the light after Pastor Wellington shakes their hands, some do not see it and are not changed.

Those pastors and rabbis that don’t hear the Creator’s voice find their numbers slowly dwindling. They will soon have to make a decision to keep their doors open or not. When they tried to go across the divide to the other faiths, they do get mixed results. Some of them totally reject this idea of unity and reconciliation. A lot of them want to keep their old beliefs and ways and not become westernized. But then some of them realized where they went astray in their beliefs. A lot of them were taught that violence is the only way to bring change. The ones who want violence soon leave their places of worship when their numbers are getting fewer and fewer each year. No one wants to listen to them anymore.

Decades later, they would leave and fly back to the countries where they came from. But they get a surprise when they find the same attitude is spreading back in their homeland. They soon realize they must forge a new movement that will keep their ways alive and well. They search for a new land that this movement has not reached yet. They did find such a land, the barren lands of Tibet. The local people there gave them room to start over. Slowly, people who have a hatred for what is happening in their homeland move to Tibet to escape this new attitude. They decided to create their own wars of distrust behind the scenes as they have been doing for centuries. These groups are the major leaders of various crime and violent syndicates from throughout the world. They would raise a new generation that would keep their ways. This seed of hate would continue until they think the time is right for them to take control of the world once again.

~~~000~~~

My classes turned out to be a good challenge. The two security classes were very helpful in knowing the current approaches to keeping files safe. But I know it can be better. The two hardware classes allowed me to see the promises and problems that we have. They are going to have a big surprise when I do my Master’s degree.

The grades for the classes are shaping up very well. At this point in time, the grades are A’s. But I can see from the syllabus there will be some challenging material ahead. I decide to try to create my revolving password program and see if I can get it to work. Captain Dar-re said you have to know the last three sequences to even have a chance to know what it will revolve to the next time it is reset.

I play with a bunch of algorithms that I know already. Then I see a problem with it. The ones we have been using are too easy to break. Therefore I decided to do something new that no one has thought up yet. It takes a lot of trial and error until I got it to work and I’m happy with it. I keep that algorithm and put it on my laptop for the login screen when it is turned on. I also incorporated it with my file folders before Thanksgiving Break. It turns out, it was a good thing I did it.

One day, I looked at the two pill bottles on the dresser top. “Amber and Cobalt, we have to hide those pill bottles. I’m getting a lot of questions asked about my Senior Project.”

“Yes, we’ve heard some of your fellow classmates are grumbling about your paper. They say what you are proposing won’t work.”

“Well, I’m going have to prove them wrong. Where would be a good place to hide them?”

“Why don’t we let the Wizard take them? Then we know no one will be able to sneak up on him.”

“We can only ask.” I open my satchel and retrieve the contact crystal with my left hand. I put my right hand above it. I concentrate really hard. I think of the Earth Wizard.

Soon his image appears above it. We smile at each other. “Greetings Richard. I take it this is not a courtesy call?”

“It is not, Wizard. I need to hide these two pill bottles. They contain the scraping of the veins we talked about. I think it is best for you to keep them for now. I have yet to analyze them.”

“I agree, Richard. I’ll be glad to hold onto them.”

“I tried to activate the ore. The three of us had a weak interaction. You can’t see it until the lights are turned off.”

“I thought as much. I’ll be right there.”

His image disappears. Then he suddenly appears in my apartment living room. I get the two pill bottles off the dresser top. I walk back out to him and hand the pill bottles to him.

“Thanks, I will take care of this. I know the perfect place to hide them. How are you doing in your classes?”

“So far it is A’s for right now. I will be making a visit to Mt. Blanc during Thanksgiving. They should be due by that time. I can feel them getting stronger within me.”

He smiles at me. “I’m sure you do, Richard.”

“Sarah plans to be there for the births. She wants to be a witness to the miracle.”

“I’m sure she does, Richard. Well, I need to be going.”

“How did it go in Romania?”

“I was able to rescue her with no problems. The gypsy lady told me there is a hidden agenda with this underworld figure. When you mentioned that we could have people in the black arts and enslaving the dragon spirits, it got me thinking. This virus she was asked to make doesn’t attack the human person. It attacks dragons and other magical beasts.”

Croin appears in the room. “Dragons?”

“Yes, Croin. I’ve heard rumors of a valley in Romania. It is protected with very strong spells and incantations. The gypsy lady says the men involved are trying their hardest to enter that valley. But, I think these dragons are a different race from you Croin.”

“In what way, Wizard?”

“I don’t know at this point, Croin. The gypsy lady says I need to go to Scotland for some answers. She gave me a name for a contact.”

“It sounds like the Magi are trying to eliminate our allies.”

“It certainly does, Richard. There are events brewing as we speak. I think your initial encounter with one of them in Mt. Blanc is what set it in motion. They think they killed all of the dragons and unicorns on Earth. They are a threat to them. I think they hired witches and warlocks to enslave the dragon spirits at least. They haven’t found the ones in the Americas or in the deep oceans, yet.”

“Which dragons are here in America?”

“There is the Serpent Mound in Ohio. There is Quetzalcoatl in Mexico. There are the Gold and Silver Dragons in South America. The last two are the Ice Dragons in Antarctica. No one has made the connection to them, I made sure of that at the time. The original inhabitants who gave them respect, hid them there for safe keeping. But this Romania situation is new to me. This is why I think they are a different race from you Croin. I think they came here from the stars like the Nefelim did. But that is a guess right now. The impression I got from the gypsy lady is this. This group is respectful and honorable like you, Croin.”

“That’s good to know.”

“Tell us when you need us. We’ll be there to provide assistance.”

“Thank you, Richard. Well, I must be going.” He smiles at us. “I’m a busy wizard.”

“Take care until we meet again.” I smile back at him.

“Until then, Richard.” He puts his hands out. He mutters some words. He disappears in a blink of an eye.

“Well, that is interesting, Richard.”

“It certainly is, Croin.”

It is now approaching October 31. I explain to them the significance of this interesting day. Once they heard it, they could see it could be used for the wrong and right reasons.

The air is getting cooler now in North Carolina. One day in October, I get an inspection by the apartment committee. They are impressed with what I did on the patio balcony. They approve of it whole-heartedly. They really like the design of adding privacy to the living room and still bringing in the fresh scents from the flowers to the living room. They approve of the boxes that can hang on the railing. They also see the two shelves with plastic sheeting underneath them to protect the carpet inside the apartment. They are glad I’m thinking ahead.

They write me up a good report in their log book. Once they left, Traphel, Amber, Cobalt and the other fairies fly back into the living room when I opened the balcony door one more time. They change into their normal selves. We are smiling and laughing that we were able to pull it off.

The seeds from Twainor finally produced the fruits for us to enjoy. There are two small fruit bushes that are nowhere near like our blueberries and strawberries. They have a different flavor and skin color all together. We keep the seeds from these fruits for ourselves. We know these seeds can’t be let loose on Earth. The three other seeds produced small flowers. From them came small pods of seeds. Again, they are very different than we have on Earth. Traphel and the other two fairies enjoy eating the uniqueness of these fruits and seeds from Twainor. The other seeds in the satchel that produce the large trees are saved and kept separate from the other nuts and fruits from Earth.

“If and when I make a green house, I’ll make sure it is big enough for these tree seeds.”

“Then we’ll have to wait until then, Richard.”

I also made use of the herbs I planted as they came in. I was able to make some excellent meals for myself. Amber and Cobalt loved the aromas of the herbs when they were added to the salads or main dishes I created.

October 31 finally comes to the campus. I get a few invitations to attend some parties. I only decide on one of them. I went out dressed in my ranger clothes and boots only. I left the armor in the apartment, underneath the bed. I did have my leather corset underneath the clothes. When I showed up at the Halloween party on campus, everyone was impressed on how I looked.

“Too bad you don’t have any armor, sword and helmet, Richard. You would look like a ranger from the Lord of the Rings Trilogy.”

“Yeah. Well, that costs more money. Then I would have a hard time in keeping it from your hands.”

“That’s true, Richard.”

We laugh out loud on that joke.

After spending a few hours at the party until midnight, I decided it was time to walk back to the apartment. As I get nearer my apartment, my horse sense starts to pick up someone following me.

Do you feel that, Croin?

I do, Richard. Someone is following us and looking for a confrontation. We need a secluded area.

I know where to go. It is the obstacle course.

Yes, that’s a good place.

I change directions and walk toward the obstacle course. I now feel there are two people following me. I whisper to Amber and Cobalt. They whisper back.

“We are being followed.”

“We see them, Richard. It is a man and a woman. They are dressed in black. We’ll keep our distance and watch from the trees. Traphel and the other two are with us as well.”

When I get into the open area of the obstacle course, the man speaks up.

“That is far enough, mortal.”

I smile to myself.

He is in for a surprise, Richard.

Yes he is, Croin. I turn around to face my opponents. I see they are dressed in black totally. We stand still facing each other. Who will make the first move? There is very little moon light in the sky. It is approaching the end of the last quarter phase. It will be a New Moon on November 2, 2098.

“You’re probably wondering who we are. We were told by our coven master and a friend that you must be eliminated.”

“So, I must be eliminated. That means the one whom ordered you to do this, doesn’t want to face me.”

“Yes, you scarred his face severely up in the mountains. We know you can do magic. Well, so can we.”

“Are we going to exchange names before we start?”

“Nah, we know your name is Richard Moore and you call yourself the Omega Unicorn. What we are going to do is this. We’re going take your unicorn spirits and dragon spirt with us. You will then be totally defenseless.”

“Hmm . . . I will be totally defenseless. I guess you don’t know everything about me then. I guess that I will let them come out. Then I will see if you can take them from me. If not, I will give you and your coven the same treatment as I did to your friend.”

“Uhh . . . err . . . No way, Richard. There is no way you can defeat all of us.”

“Well, let’s find out.” I smile as I thrust my hands out to the side. The twelve unicorn images come out from me, six on either side of me. They are standing there proudly with their heads held high. Then Croin appears above me. He flashes his teeth. His eyes are glowing red.”

“I don’t believe it. It is true. Those unicorns are beautiful.”

“Shut up, Daphne. Let’s do our job before this last quarter moon ends Samuin.” ***

“Sigh . . . all right Rex. Let’s do it.”

Rex puts an ornate box on the ground in front of him and opens it up. They both start reciting some strange words. Then I see a black shadow coming toward them from the woods around us. It envelops them. Soon, their hands are glowing red. Once the incantation has ended, the black cloud races toward me quickly from the man and woman. We stand there in the darkness. We hear a voice in the still air.

“You are now mine to control unicorn and dragon spirits. Come with me and become more powerful than ever!”

“Uh, excuse me. Who is speaking in the darkness? Is that you Sauron?”

“Huh? How did you know it was I, Richard?”

“I felt your presence when I met a Magus in the mountains a while back. I’m guessing it was you who influenced the pilot and copilot to crash that plane into my parent’s car.”

“Hah, hah, I’m about to do the same to you now!”

“I don’t think so, Sauron. First of all, these images you’re seeing are not spirits.”

“They’re not!”

“Nope. They are memories. These unicorns and the dragon are still alive and well. However, with my magic and abilities, they can be felt by anyone I choose to.”

“NOOOoooo . . . !” Sauron yells in frustration.

“As far as the unicorns go, I am imbued with their power and strength. Now it is my turn! Armor on!”

The man and woman are astonished. Their plan is not going to work. They try to back away quickly. “Let’s get out of here, Rex.”

“I’m right behind you, Daphne.”

Then all of a sudden my armor appears on me. My ranger outfit disappears. I raise my left gauntlet at the two. I launch a pair of freeze darts quickly. They stop as soon as they are about to turn around. They are quickly covered in a thin layer of ice down to the skin. Now Sauron is frozen in his location. This is because he mentally connected to the witch and the warlock before coming upon me.

Then the Wizard shows up when I step up in front of them. I retrieve my darts from Rex and Daphne. I put them back on the gauntlet where they belong.

“Hello, Richard.”

“Hello, my friend. I have a catch box that is open on the ground.”

“I’ll take care of that.”

“Stay away from me, Wizard!”

“I’m not banishing you to the box, Sauron. I’m using it as a delivery vehicle and send you to the Eleven Magi. You can explain to them what happened here.”

The wizard looks at the black cloud in front of him. He puts his hands out and recites some words. Then all of a sudden Sauron is sucked into the black box. “NOOOOoooo . . . !” The lid closes the box immediately by itself. Then the Wizard mutters another spell. The box disappears in a blink of an eye.

~~~000~~~

In a high rise building in New York, the Eleven Magi are discussing their latest options.

“So what news do you have for us, Grangor?”

“There is not much to say at this time. The virus we created in Romania is coming along fine. That Wizard took her after she completed her task.”

“That’s good. He came too late. How about you Thrangar?”

“I’m awaiting word from the Black Coven in North Carolina.”

Then all of a sudden an ornate box appears on the center table in front of them.

“What is this box doing here?”

“I don’t know, let’s open it and find out.”

Thrashtin gets up and walks up to the center table. He opens the box. Then all of a sudden a black cloud comes out of the box.

“Curse that Richard!! I hate him!! I hate that Wizard as well!!”

“What happened, Sauron?”

The black cloud comes together and forms a man shape in front of them.

“Those images of the unicorns and dragon are not spirits that Richard has. They are memories!”

“Curse that Richard! That means those unicorns and the dragon are still alive. Where are they, Sauron?”

“I think they are on another planet far from here.”

“Curse that Creator! Well, if that is how it is going to be played. We’ll step it up a notch. Grangor, get that virus ready for dispersal. We need to break down that magic barrier as quickly as possible. How far are we getting through it?”

“We are about half way there. That took four years to get to that point. I expect it will get more difficult as we get closer. It could take another six years to finally get through.”

“Why is it taking so long?”

“We have never encountered these types of spells and incantations before. I never saw such sophistication in my life. No way it can be done by a human being. I think these spells are from an alien culture.”

“You do have a point there, Grangor. Sighs . . . go as fast as you can to get through. Somehow these dragons can go through it with ease. So, it must be designed for them specifically.”

“It will be done, Thrashtin.”

~~~000~~~

The Wizard turns around and walks up to me and stands by my side. “Unfreeze mouth, jaw, eyes, ears and face only.”

The ice disappears from their faces. They work it slowly and find themselves they can speak. They see the twelve unicorn images are looking at them. Croin is hovering above me. Then five butterflies come fluttering in. They each land on a head of a unicorn.

“What are you going do to us? Fry us like you did before, Richard?”

“I don’t know, Rex. I’m thinking about it. But first you are going to answer some questions.”

The Wizard follows my lead, “That’s right, Richard. The first question is this. Croin, will you please check out Rex and Daphne? See if they are hiding any dragon spirits?”

Rex and Daphne get wide-eyed. Before they can say a word, Croin flies around them quickly. Then he hovers above me.

“There is one dragon spirit here. Rex has him in a ring on his hand.”

We look down at his hand. We see a large red stone ring on his left hand.

“That is a nice ring you have there, Rex. Apparently you earned it for some reason.”

“I did, Richard. You wouldn’t believe what I went through to earn that ring. There is no way you can release him. He is bound to me.”

The Wizard bends down and carefully removes the ring from his hand. We look at it carefully.

“You think my breath will help release him?”

“Yes, and it will wake him up to the truth of the matter.”

I breathe onto the ring. The Wizard puts his right hand above it. He mutters some words. The red stone glows.

Soon an image appears of a large winged dragon. It walks about on four legs and has a long neck and tail. The color of the dragon is totally red from head to tail. He looks down to see who called him. The dragon looks at the Wizard, “You are not Rex.”

“I’m not, great dragon. I have come to release you from your prison. What is your name?”

“I won’t give my name. Only to another dragon will I give it. No one can release me from my prison. Only a dragon master can and who is part dragon himself can release me.”

“I do have a dragon master here. He is in training at this moment. He does have a dragon companion and friend. It is this man here. His name is Richard Moore. He will eventually be a Shaolin Dragon Master. He is also the Omega Unicorn. The dragon who is with him is Croin. He is a memory that helps him. The five butterflies here are actually fairies. I’m known as the Wizard. I will tell you my story later.”

The butterflies change into fairies. The unicorns, Croin, the fairies and I all bow before him quickly and rise up.

“It is my honor to meet you, great dragon. I greet you in name of Eingana, your Great Mother. For I too, have a drop of her blood in me. My name is Richard. The unicorns and dragons who were on Earth before the Great Flood is doing fine on another world. These two fairies are from Avel the unicorn.”

“You’ve met my Great Mother? We have a lot to talk about Omega Unicorn. I can sense you and you are telling the truth.”

Then Rex speaks up, “That’s it! Red Dragon, kill these heretics!”

The dragon looks down at them with anger on his face. “I will certainly not, Rex! The Omega Unicorn’s breath woke my true self up. I was imprisoned in this ring against my will and forced to do the owner’s bidding. I loathed it every time I would be forced to do something evil. Release me now, Wizard and Omega!”

I blow my breath onto the ring again. The Wizard recites a spell breaker.

The dragon flies straight up, “I’m free!” Now the dragon comes down flying quickly. “Now for you!”

Rex and Daphne both scream, “Eeeek!! Arrrghhh! No!”

The dragon lets out a blast of fire. Their clothes get consumed in flames.

“Send them back to their Coven, Wizard!”

“Yes. That is a good place for them.” He quickly reads Rex’s mind to find their Coven location. He recites the transport spell. They disappear in a blink of an eye.

~~~000~~~

The Coven is gathered in a circle around the candle and the pentagram. They are reciting and chanting words on this Halloween evening. Then all of a sudden, Rex and Daphne appear in their circle. They are on fire. The members are startled by their appearance.

“Arrrghhh! No!”

“Eeeek! Save me!!”

“Quickly put the fires out!” Yells the coven leader.

The members rush forward and put blankets on them to smother the fire out. Once everyone has calmed down. They see Rex and Daphne faces are covered in soot. When they take off some of their burnt clothes, they see their bodies have cracks all over the skin, except for their faces.

“What happened, Rex and Daphne? Did you get those unicorns and dragon spirits?”

“Th . . . They are n . . . n . . . not spirits. They are m . . . memories, master.”

“Memories? That means they are still alive. Do you know where they are?”

“I don’t think they are here on Earth. I think they are on another planet.”

“Grr . . . So that is where they went. Where is your dragon ring?”

“They have it. They were able to release the Red Dragon from the ring.”

“This is not good news at all. You said they? Who else was there?”

“I only heard he called himself the Wizard.”

“The Wizard . . . I have an idea who it is. But I need to check it out. Get yourselves cleaned up. You’ll have to use your street clothes that you have here.”

“That’s fine. Master, this Richard is becoming very powerful. I heard he will eventually become a Shaolin Dragon Master. He said he has a drop of dragon blood in him.”

“Dragon blood?” He twitches his lips to a smile when he hears the news. “Thank you for telling me that. I’ll inform our brethren and sisters in China to be on the look out for him. He will eventually show up there to continue his training.”

“Yes, master.”

Rex and Daphne are led to their separate locker room areas of their coven to get cleaned up. The other members carefully put cream on their skin. Rex and Daphne take some aspirin to reduce the pain later. They discover, they need to wear long sleeve shirts and pants or full length dresses to hide their scars. They also wear gloves as well to hide the scars on their hands. They are glad their faces are not scarred for life. Some of their hair got singed as well. They trimmed off the hair of what they could without looking foolish. They will trim it some more as the hair grows back out.

Daphne and Rex talk quietly to each other before they leave the coven.

“Don’t tell him the rest of what we saw and heard.”

“I agree, Rex. I thought this was going to be a great gathering. This is more than we bargained for.”

“Yes, there is more to this that we are not being told. Watch your back.”

“The same to you, Rex.”

Rex thinks to himself as he leaves the coven and drives back to his apartment. Richard said he will come after the rest of us. If he does and we don’t defeat him. That means his magic is more powerful than ours. I need a back up plan if that happens. I also need to do some reading on the internet. I think he knows more than we do and what is really going on here on Earth. I think that phrase will come true in this case. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. But in this case, I think Richard will be my friend when it comes right down to it. No way will I mention to the master about the fairies I saw, his armor appearing or his connection with Eingana. I think my master will be in way over his head this time. I need to contact a friend in Scotland about this.

~~~000~~~

The red dragon looks at his rescuers. “My name is Ddraigmab. My father is Y Ddraig Goch. My mother is Albion.”

“Isn’t he the symbol of Cymry?”

“So, you have heard of my father, Omega. Are you part Cymry?”

“I think so. I haven’t had time to do a proper ancestry search.”

“Let me check you out.”

The red dragon bends down and breathes in the air all around Richard. He gets up and looks at him wide-eyed. “You are definitely one-half Cymry and one-half Eire. I also smell my mother on you and detect her blood within you. I can also sense you are definitely the Omega Unicorn. Also, you’re pregnant with your first pair of fairies. Congratulations, Omega.”

“Thank you. Before I left Twainor, she breathed on me one more time. Now, my horse sense is in tune with me. I no longer have the headaches when danger approaches.”

“That’s good. How did her blood get in you?”

“That’s an interesting story. There was trouble on Twainor before I arrived there. There was a wizard there who thought that drinking dragon blood would make him stronger. What he didn’t know, it caused him to lose his ability to do magic. They have an ore there. It is called the Ethereal Space ore. It provides the magic for them. I was chosen to be one of the Outside Helpers for Twainor.”

“I remember that ore. It disappeared when the great city slipped into the ocean. I remember a man who tried to help others escape the flood waters.”

Then the Wizard speaks up, “That would be I, Ddraigmab. I tried to save as many as I could. How did you get inside the ring?”

“There were eleven wizards who trapped me in the ring. They had to kill me first before they put my spirit into the ring.”

“I know who they are, Ddraigmab. They are still here on Earth. They have caused a lot of trouble here since then.”

“I believe you, Wizard. What are your plans to deal with them?”

“Keep them in check as long as possible until the Ultimate Last Battle. We think it will happen about 900 years from now.”

“Hmm . . . I will assist you when I can. Right now, I don’t know what to do.”

“There is a plan by the Creator to bring forth the dragons that are hidden on Earth and to open the portals that are closed. We need as many allies as we can by then.”

“I see Wizard that makes sense.”

“I know someone who would like to see you again. Do you remember Rhiannon?”

“The Celtic Goddess of the birds and horses? I remember her clearly.”

“She is still here on Earth after the other Celtic gods left. She visits Cymry quite often. In fact I know she is there right now.”

“Thank you, I will look for her. If you need my help, just say my name and I will be there. Especially if you cross paths with those eleven magi again, Omega Unicorn.” He smiles at us.

We smile back, “I will certainly do that, Ddraigmab.”

We bow to each other quickly with a smile. Then Ddraigmab disappears and flies quickly to the East and across the Atlantic Ocean.

The twelve images return to me when Ddraigmab leaves us. Croin flies into me. The fairies change back into butterflies.

“Thank you for the assist, Wizard.”

“You’re welcome, Richard. Well, I must be going. There is another dark deed being done again west of here as I chase the midnight moon. This is one of my busiest nights. I’m definitely looking forward to some sleep after this night.”

“Same here, Wizard. Take care until we meet again.”

We bow our heads to each other quickly. He recites some words and disappears in a blink of an eye. I walk back to the apartment with no problems. We finally get to bed about 2 A.M.. We invite Traphel and the others to stay with us for the night. They appreciate the offer of staying in a warm place this night.

The rest of November proceeds smoothly. Traphel and the other two fairies will be coming with us to Mt. Blanc to witness the births. Traphel told me a story one day. The entire troop of King Oren’s fairies will be flying south to their wintering areas in a national park in Florida.

During the last three days before Thanksgiving, events are winding up fast. So far I find myself keeping up with the homework and the tests. Three of the classes are definitely A’s. The fourth one is almost borderline to a B. I got tripped up on the last test I had in November. The next set of tests will be the finals in December. I will really have to study hard to make sure it stays an A. Wednesday, I make sure everything is packed away and ready for Thursday morning. I take the stone carving, my armor and my laptop with me for safe keeping. I also make sure to bring the brown envelope that contains my hair clippings.

I also bring in the flowers from the patio balcony as well. I checked the weather before we left, there is another cold front passing through. However, the low pressure center is to the North of us. They do expect the next one out West to bring the first set of snow flakes next week after we leave Sunday.

We all go to bed early to make sure we get a good night of sleep. We don’t get any dreams that cause us problems. Most of the dreams are about family and the people we met on Twainor. It was a very restful night of sleep. When we wake up the in the morning, we get ourselves cleaned and ready for the day. It takes me three trips to get the stuff out to the car. I make sure there is enough food in the satchel for the fairies. I also bring some unopened bags of nuts as well. That will be needed at the cabin. By this time most of the students have left already. Most of them left Tuesday and Wednesday. There are some students staying through Thanksgiving.

The butterflies fly quickly into my car. They change into fairies and get themselves comfortable wrapped in the blanket on the front passenger seat. I drive carefully to Mt. Blanc. The roads haven’t iced over yet, but the landscape has that look of winter already. It just needs some snow to complete the picture.

It takes about four hours to arrive at Mt. Blanc. I stop by the Wilkerson’s gas station to get filled up. I get greeted by Chuck there.

“I’m glad to see you here, Richard. How are the roads?”

“They are not iced over yet. They do expect the next storm will be the first snow storm.”

“Yeah, I read the same thing. We are hunkering down and ready here. Until the snow sticks to the ground, the skiing slopes will be closed. People are checking into the hotel here. Your doctor and attorney arrived here yesterday.”

“That’s good to hear.” Once the car is filled up, I pay the bill to Chuck.

“Don’t forget we have a seat waiting for you at our house tonight.”

“I won’t forget, Chuck.”

I get in my car and drive to the cabin. “Stay in the car my friends. I need to get the electricity turned on in the cabin and warmed up.”

“That’s fine, Richard. We’ll stay here under the covers.”

I get out of the car. I walk over to the side of the house and do the same thing I did the last time I was here. After going inside and turning on the electricity and getting the heater going, I go back out to the car to bring in my stuff. It takes the same three trips to do it. Once that is done, the fairies fly out quickly and into the warm house. I open the back door to see how it looks. It has the same barren look of getting ready for the first snow fall. I see steam rising from the nearby pond. I smile when I see that.

I go back inside and close the door. I get on the phone to tell Sergeant Domasi and the Mayor I’m back. They appreciate that I arrived safely. I get on my cell phone to call Sarah, my doctor.

“So how are you doing?”

“I feel they are wanting to come forth soon, Sarah. You better get here in about two hours.”

“I’ll be there in an hour.”

“See you then, Sarah.”

“Traphel, you need to find King Oren and Queen White Dove. These fairies are due in about two hours.”

“Yes, I’ll go find them and give them the good news.”

I walk over to the back door and open it for Traphel and the two fairies. They fly out quickly in butterfly mode into the forest.

I walk about the cabin putting things away where they belong. At about 1 P.M., I get a knock on the front door. I walk to the front door and open it. I see it is Sarah, Anna and with three people behind them.

“Hello, Sarah and Anna.”

“Hello, Richard. You’ll recognize three of these people behind me. I don’t know who is the fourth one.”

“Well, if she is with them, then she is welcome to come in.”

“Thank you, Richard.” The lady responds with a beautiful voice.

All five of them come inside the cabin. “I expect King Oren and Queen White Dove to show up soon.”

“That’s great, Richard.”

“Well, let’s get our introductions over with.” Anya continues to speak. “This is Sarah and Anna you already know. I’m Anya and this is the Wizard. This lady you don’t recognize is Rhiannon.”

“Oh my, the Rhiannon. It is my honor to meet you my lady.” I give a formal bow to her. Then I rise up.

“It is my honor to meet you Richard, the Omega Unicorn. It has been a long time since I’ve seen King Oren and Queen White Dove. This will be a happy and joyful gathering today.”

Then we hear a bunch of little knocks on the back door in rapid succession.

“That must be they.”

We all smile, giggle and laugh at what we hear. I walk over to the back door. Then all one hundred fairies fly into the cabin. Everyone squeals and screams in delight in seeing me and the guests, especially when they see Rhiannon.

“Queen Rhiannon, it is wonderful to see you again.”

“It is wonderful to see you again King Oren and Queen White Dove.”

They fly up close to her face. They breathe in each other’s scent to remember the good times they had.

Sarah walks over to me and puts her hand on my stomach area. “Yes, they do want to come out Richard. You better lie down on the couch now.”

“Yes, Sarah.” I carefully lie down on the couch. Everyone turns to me.

“What should we do now?”

“Get his clothes off, he needs to be his true self. You can put a blanket or towel underneath him. Have the legs open like you’ve seen before Sarah. Let’s do this in the master bedroom instead.”

“Yes, Anya.”

I walk into the master bedroom and undress before them. The ladies turn down the covers and place another sheet on top of it then a large towel. I ease myself onto the bed with my head and shoulders on several stacked pillows. I spread my legs before them.

Rhiannon speaks up, “I have done this before Richard when Caliber gave birth to his fairies. However, it is a first for a human to give birth to fairies. Fairies, please get into position.”

“Yes, Rhiannon.”

While they get into position around me, Anya, the Wizard and Anna are watching and waiting with anticipation. Croin is hovering above them and smiling. Sarah and Rhiannon are closer to me. The fairies are all standing around me and between my legs. I noticed my nipples have become swollen again about a month ago. I see them ready to give forth milk once more. Then I feel the contractions within me. Everyone else senses it as well. Amber and Cobalt fly up to the pillow and stay near my shoulders. They hum a soothing melody when I start the contractions.

“Ooh . . . here they come . . . the water just broke through.“

The muscles contract slowly. “Ahhh. . . there is . . . some. . .pain. . . ohhh. . .nnnnhh. . .” The water comes out from my womb slowly. King Oren and Queen White Dove are there to greet the new fairies. The male fairy comes out first, then his twin sister. They are wet all over. Their wings are limp and wet. Then small hand towels from the bathroom are brought forth to dry them off.

We see their wing patterns are orange, black and white. The wing shapes are like swallowtails. The hairs on their heads are appropriate for them. The color is jet black on both of them. Then they speak for the first time.

“We are hungry. Where are our mother and father?”

“He is right behind you.”

They turn around and face me. Then King Oren and Queen White Dove take hold of them and fly up and land on my chest. They see my smiling face.

“I’m the one who gave you birth. You are my first born. I am the Omega Unicorn.”

“We heard that name in our dreams.”

“Please drink from my nipples. They are waiting for you.”

They see my nipples gorged with milk. They walk up to them and bend down before them. They start kneading them to produce the milk. While they do that, I get a stronger reaction than what Amber and Cobalt did when they drank from me the first time. “Ahh . . . that’s good my fairies. Drink it all.” My eyes roll back as I feel the pleasure goes through me. My back arches a bit as I look down carefully, I see them smiling as they drink from me. They don’t waste any drop of milk.

Everyone is smiling in the room. Slowly the wings straighten out and get flat like a butterfly should be. They soon become dry and ready for flight.

When they get done, I look down at them one more time. They are fast asleep on my chest. “Your names will be Tiger and Tigress. Your wing color reminds me of a butterfly in this area with the same design.”

The mumble in their sleep. “Yes, our names are Tiger and Tigress.” They resume their sleep.

“Those are good names, Omega. We’ve seen those around here. Fairies, we know what kind of clothing they will be dressed in now. Let’s make their first set of clothes.”

“Queen White Dove, over by the sewing machine, you’ll find my mom’s thread and cloth boxes. You should find everything there for them.”

“Thank you, Omega. Come fairies, let’s get busy.”

They all smile. “Yes, Queen White Dove.” Amber and Cobalt stay nearby my head. About fifty fairies follow Queen White Dove to the sewing machine. They find the boxes there with no problems. When they open it, they see a good assortment of colors and designs. They discuss quickly that two day sets and two night sets will be made. Also, a set of warm clothes for winter will be included.

The adults in the room watching this are amazed at what is happening. A human being has given birth to fairies for the first time. Indeed this is a new beginning.

***
Samuin - is the original Celtic spelling before it became Samhain. It is Old Irish and Celtic in origin. It is called All Hallows Eve in 1556 which is a Scottish variant of the day. It is the last day of Summer on their calendars. I did double check the moon phase with the date, and it is correct.
