The list of characters mentioned in this story belong to the various authors that created them. This is a fan-fiction story.

~~~000~~~

Brianna and I look at the two Mossad agents. “So, who is going to be our tour guide?”

“It will be me, Richard. My name is Yoel. Some of my family members are in the tour guide business.”

I look at them intently. Soon their eyes become glassy-eyed. “I have another question to ask, sirs. Can you hear the Creator’s voice?"

~~~000~~~

On the Egyptian-India pantheon world, Amun Ra is overseeing the arrangements. A group of twenty butterflies are fluttering from flower to flower. They are drinking the sweet nectar from each one while they are pollinating the flowers.

“We have four days at the most, my friends. Our system will be in line with the pyramids. Are the banners in place, Cheops?”

“They are in place, my liege. All of the lion monuments have been brightly polished.”

“That’s good. Has Yami been found yet?”

“Which multi-verse are you talking about, Amun Ra?”

“Ah . . . the one in which his other spirit-half is still in the Millennium Puzzle.”

“He is still trapped in the Puzzle. Perhaps the Omega Unicorn can find a way to free him. If he can do it, then he can rejoin with his anti-verse half and become whole.”

“Yes, let us hope that will happen. Are the food trays ready, Annapurna?”

“They are ready, Amun Ra. I have them preserved in my pantry. It is a good selection of fruits, legumes, vegetables, rice, soups from Earth and from here. I do have some fish and chicken dishes for those who must have it. They are all spiced and seasoned from the spectrum of all taste buds.”

“That’s good. Vishnu, how are things progressing with you?”

“The arrangements of the deities are coming along fine, Amun Ra. The only ones who upset are Kali and Seth. Their darkness is diminished by our light.”

“Sigh . . . .Well, it is only for a little while that we are all gathered together. Once the celebration is over with, they can return back to their dark realms.”

“I agree, Amun Ra.”

Everyone else goes about their duties in getting the main pyramid temple complex ready.

~~~000~~~

The demon angel, Amy, flies through Erebus. He just left Hades’ presence. “Brr . . . I can’t believe it. Hades tells me I have two turns with the sands of time clock. If I don’t get back by then, I am stuck here. Fortunately, he gave me a general direction where to find a Nephelim giant down here.”

Amy continues his search. He sees Kraken chained up on a separate island. He is lying in a shallow pool of water. There is just enough water so that he won’t die. King Azazel will be pleased that I found him.

~~~000~~~

Kraken looks up in the sky. He sees the demon angel fly by. Oh great mother, Eingana, please help me. I am chained in Erebus. Creator, if you can hear me, I saw a demon angel fly above me. I fear I will be used for the wrong reasons again.

Have no fear, Kraken. The Creator hears your plea for help. I have a servant who will help free you. Have hope, Kraken. Then you can have your revenge upon the Titans and King Azazel’s army.

Then a small spark of flame gets a little brighter in his mind. Thank you Creator. I will be patient until that day of freedom comes. Then Kraken is more calm than he has felt in a long time. He sleeps soundly on the island. He dreams of the day he will be with his Great Father Leviathan and his Great Mother Eingana.

~~~000~~~

Then Amy sees a very large island that is surrounded by eternal flames. As he gets closer, he sees fifty one Nephelim Giants gathered together. He approaches them carefully and stays out of their reach. They see the demon angel flying above them.

They yell out really loud, “Who are you looking for demon?”

“I am looking for the leader who faced a human on the planet Twainor.”

“We all did, demon.”

“Then I want to speak to the leader. I have orders from my master to get information.”

“That would be me, demon. My name is Lechstar. These other Nephelim are my sons. What is your master’s name?”

“His name is Azazel. He is the Archangel who defected against the Creator in the very beginning of time.”

“If I tell you what you need to know, can you find a way to get us out of here? I would like to have my revenge upon that cursed human we met on Twainor.”

“I can’t make any promises, Lechstar. I am just doing an investigation.”

“Sigh . . . all right. Here is what I know My brother Og was left on Earth to keep our people alive. I know a group of our star ships left Northern Africa in time to escape the Great Flood from the north. I don’t know what happened to them. I left Earth in my spaceship and fled to the stars. I formulated a plan to get our revenge by destroying as many worlds as possible through my sons. Somehow, my son Natachlon was stopped on Twainor. What happened there, my son?”

“I encountered a man who infiltrated the computers on both of the star ships. He blocked us from using the transporters on both ships. I had but moments to put my back up plan into action. My General was able to get it done. However, the soldiers appeared on Dar-re’s star ship in a blink of an eye. Some how they got through the shields. For a backward planet, they came highly prepared. They did use magic very precisely. Then the robot air craft we sent to the surface couldn’t fend off the unstable lightning storm in their atmosphere.”

“Didn’t you sent scout ships to the planet to check it out?”

“We sent two scout ships. The first one we got a response back. The second one didn’t respond back.” Then Natachlon begins telling the story from the beginning. The hostages were all saved. Then they became all disappointed that an Earth cockroach human used magic to defeat them on their own ship.

Amy is listening really hard to this news. Grr . . . so, this must be the same man who faced me on Black Bolt’s ship. He must have gotten stronger and more confident since meeting them.

“Then some how, all of my sons and myself appeared on Twainor. Then I met the human cockroach while we are being judged. He told me my brother Og and his sons were all killed by the humans. We found ourselves with stones tied to our foreheads. We didn’t know stones would block our telekinetic and fearful mind ability. Apparently a human on Earth figured it out.”

“That’s an interesting story, Lechstar. I’ll relay the news to King Azazel. I don’t know what he can do to release all of you.”

“Sigh . . . at least give it your best try. We can only hope.”

“Well, I must be going now. I have to get back to Hades before the sands of time clock is finished. If I don’t, then I am stuck here.”

“Then get flying back now, demon.”

Amy flies away at a very high rate of speed to Hades’ Castle. He sees the Castle looming high above the cavern floor. It is built on a high preceptist tower of rock. He lands at the front porch. He opens the double doors. He quickly walks into the main study. He sees Hades standing and staring at the fire place.

“Did you get your information, Amy?”

“I did, Hades.”

“Now go and fly back to your mewling king. You made it back in time.” Hades points to the sands of time clock.

Amy sees he made it back in plenty of time. “That is not wise of you to call my king a mewling king. He is no kitten, Hades. He is a ferocious lion stalking his prey.”

“Whatever, Amy. Go now before I change my mind.”

Amy turns his back to Hades and proceeds to walk out. He sees Persephone walking toward the study. He gives a quick smile at her. Persephone doesn’t return the greeting.

Amy exits the castle through the doors. He takes off flying toward Charon’s boat that is docked on the other end of the River Styx. Amy drops five more pieces of drachma to Charon below him. Charon deftly catches the falling coins in his hand. Charon then opens the portal to allow Amy leave Erebus, Amy leaves the mountain side where the Hollywood sign over looks Los Angeles. He rejoins his two lieutenants.

“Did you get the information, Amy?”

“I did, Khan. While I flew to the island where they are held, I saw Kraken chained on a separate island.”

“Excellent job, Amy.”

“Lechstar said a group of Nephelim star ships escaped the Great Flood. He doesn’t know where they went.”

“He probably does, Amy. He’s keeping their location a secret.”

“You’re probably right, Khan. Now where would they go to hide?”

They all think on it very hard.

“Amy, what caused the Great Flood?”

“A meteorite slammed into the northern ice shelf that was located north of Europe. It flooded the Mediterranean Sea and Northern Africa. Why do you ask?”

“If the northern ice shelf is that big, wouldn’t it stand to reason the southern region or Antarctica would be slightly warmer?”

“You’re right, Khan. Let’s fly to Antarctica.”

They all fly south to Antarctica.

~~~000~~~

Persephone approaches Hades. “What did the smarty-pants demon want, Hades?”

“He wanted some information from some Nephelim Giants. He said, he is on a mission from King Azazel.”

“Brrr . . . . I think there is more to his mission, Hades. It will probably be bad for all us.”

“I know. Right now I am deciding on whether to attend a meeting with my two brothers. Zeus says it will happen soon.”

“Where is the meeting place?”

“I requested it to be here at the castle. Zeus will think about it. He said it could be at a neutral location.”

“The only place that I know of is Charon’s Boat Docks.”

“Yes, I did think that as well. I will give him my answer soon.” Then in a fit of frustration Hades yells out loud, “ARRRRggghhh!!! This place is driving me crazy, Creator! Isn’t there any word from you that can ease my mind!!! AAARRRRRGGGGggghhh!!!” All he hears is silence. Then the moans from the tormented souls slowly seep back to their normal levels outside. “Thank goodness these walls are insulated!!!”

Persephone knows she can’t approach him when he gets upset like this. She will approach him later when he his more calmed down.

~~~000~~~

They answer in a monotone voice, “We can hear the Creator’s voice, Richard.”

“We wouldn’t be here if we didn’t.”

“That’s a good enough answer for me. How about you, Brianna and my fairies?”

They all respond in one voice. “Yes, Richard, Omega, father, mother.”

I snap my fingers, “Snap!!”

“What just happened?”

“I was able to get the truth out of you.”

“I . . .er . . .did we pass?”

“You both passed.”

“Then how did you do it?”

“I will tell you later when we are on top of Masada.”

“Okay, it can wait until then.”

“So, have you met any fairies in your life time?”

“I don’t think we have, Yoel. What are fairies?”

“They are small winged people. They would be like Tinkerbell on Never Land, Gavri.”

“Now I remember that story. It is told in that theme park in the Americas.”

“Well, I have my own here. Now please don’t be alarmed. Fairies, don’t fly to the driver. We don’t need to distract Yosef.”

All of the fairies pop up their heads in our coat pockets. They are all giggling and laughing. “We won’t bother the driver, father. He has already seen us.”

“What?!”

“There are fairies here?”

They come flying out of the coat pockets and hover in front of their faces. Yoel and Gavri are chuckling and laughing at the sight. Then the fairies return back to our coat pockets.

“These two men are good agents, father. We can trust them to keep an extra eye out for us.”

“That’s good, Tiger.”

Yoel and Gavri smile when they hear the good assessment from the fairies.

“So, what is the first stop, Yoel?”

“We are going to one of the gates in the Jerusalem Quarter. It is the Lion’s Gate. There is a parking area near it.”

Josef continues to drive down the streets. Soon we see the wall looming up before us. He drives down a parallel street along the wall. He drives past the Lion’s Gate. Then he makes a turn into a parking lot near it. He finds an empty reserved parking spot and turns off the engine.

“Before we go out there, Richard. Your face is still remembered here when you had the court case in New York City. Hopefully, we won’t encounter too many ‘well wishers’ during our walk. Fairies, if it gets too crowded, you can probably fly about in butterfly mode. But keep a sharp eye out for any potential trouble. There are some people here who supported the Euro. They are the ones who lost everything. We are helping them the best we can in getting themselves back on solid ground.”

“Yes, sirs.” Our fairies quickly get more comfortable in the coat pockets.

Brianna and I quickly squeeze our hands together. Yosef gets out of the car first. He opens the left side door. The two agents get out first. I make sure the tickets from this morning are in the satchels. Then I get out. I reach in and help Brianna out. We put on two of the satchels. One of them contains the video camera. The other one is the fairies’ satchel. We leave the other one inside the car. The agents do a quick look at the satchels. They see it is a flap over the opening and buttoned down with six buttons. There is also a locking hasp as well.

“That’s a good satchel design. Pick pockets will have a hard time reaching for it. Carry it over the shoulder and cross over the chest.”

“Yes, sir.” We do as the agents requested.

“Follow us please.”

Yosef pushes a button on the key chain. “Beep!! Beep!!” It locks the doors on the car.

We follow them through the parking lot and enter the Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem. I take out my video camera to start recording what we are seeing. Our fairies fly out of the coat pockets in butterfly mode. They hover and flutter around us. They see some potted flower plants. They take turns drinking the sweet nectar from the flowers.

“Here we have the last standing arch for the Hurva synagogue that stood here. It was erected in memory of the first building. The synagogue was destroyed by the Muslim armies in 1721 and 1948. This arch was erected in 1977. Then the synagogue was rebuilt in 1864 and 2010.”

One of the agents takes my video camera so that Brianna and I are in the picture together. Then the butterflies come flying in and land on our heads and shoulders. Our fairies enjoyed watching themselves on the videos when we got back home. The camera is turned off and returned to me. I put it in the satchel and button it up and lock the hasp. We continue our walk in the plaza near the synagogue. Then we see the sight of all sights. We see the Western Wall. However, we don’t see the domes on the temple mount. All of the domes are gone from the temple mount. We see construction crews preparing in building the new temple on the grounds. We still see people meeting at the Western Wall to give their prayers.

“There is a ladies’ side and a mens’ side.”

Can we go there to pray, father?

I see no problem if you stay in butterfly mode. You can be on top of our shoulders. Let me talk to Yoel about it, Tiger.

I whisper to Yoel. “Yoel, my butterflies wonder if they can come to pray as well. I was thinking they could be on our shoulders.”

Yoel whispers back, “Yes, they must stay in butterfly mode. If the rabbis see them sitting on your head or shoulder, they might consider you both as extra blessed by the Creator. That means the perfect peace or shalom shalom has descended upon both of you.”

“That’s a good idea, Yoel.”

“Also, you can write your prayer requests onto a small sheet of paper. Stick them in the cracks between the blocks. Twice a year, the rabbis take them from the cracks. They are not read. They are put in a bag and buried in a cemetery plot on the Mount of Olives.”

The butterflies hover higher and wait for the right moment. They land on one of the gate structures that provides limited access to the compound. We make our way to the Western Wall. Brianna is led by Yosef to the ladies’ side. She takes a lace prayer shawl from the table. She puts it on her head. She slowly walks to the wall.

“Gavri, use my video camera. I want this recorded.”

“That’s fine, Richard. I’ll have to be outside the fence to use it.”

I get escorted to the mens’ side by Yoel. At the table I see a stack of black paper head coverings.

~~~000~~~

Gavri turns on the video camera and tries to keep both Richard and Brianna in the same frame. He sees they are about twenty-five feet from the dividing fence on both sides of it.

~~~000~~~

“These will become white when the temple is finished.”

“Thank you, sir.”

I put the black paper covering on my head. I open my satchel, I retrieve a note pad and pen. I write down my prayer request to the Creator.

“Thank you for all of your wonderful blessings, Creator. Let me be your chosen servant. Keep my special family and my own children safe over the centuries. I love Brianna very much. Thank you for bringing her back into my life. I look forward to seeing your glorious future at the end of it all. Your servant as always, Richard Moore.”

~~~000~~~

Brianna takes out a small note pad. She writes down her prayer request.

“Thank you for all of your wonderful blessings, Creator. Let me be your chosen servant. Keep my children and grandchildren safe over the centuries. Keep Richard’s family safe as well. I love Richard very much. He is my knight in shining armor with the golden heart. Thank you for letting me find him. I look forward to seeing your glorious future at the end of it all. Your servant as always, Brianna Wilson Moore.”

She folds it up tightly as she walks up to the Western Wall. She finds an open spot. She tucks it into the crack and places her left hand over it. All of sudden she gets a slight shock in the left palm of her hand. She looks at it carefully. “What is going on?” Then Bianca, Lavan, White Acacia and White Rose land on her head and shoulders.

~~~000~~~

I fold up it tightly. I approach the walls respectfully. I see Jewish men nodding their heads up and down before the Wall. I tuck the prayer request in an empty crack seam. I put my left hand over it and touch the wall. All of a sudden I get a slight shock. I pull it back and look at the palm of the hand. I see the lines in the palm of my hand become a little darker. I mumble to myself, “What is happening?”

Then my butterflies hover to me and land on my head and shoulders.

~~~000~~~

Gavri looks at the image carefully. “Huh? I could have sworn I saw an electrical discharge from the direction of where the Holy of Holies will be located. It traveled along the upper block seams and down to their hands. We will look at it later. I need to keep recording this.”

~~~000~~~

The people around us see the butterflies land upon us. They back away and give us some distance of at least five feet. They look over to the women’s section and see the same thing happening.

“Is that your wife over there, sir?”

I look over to her. The people split apart to make a path so that we can see each other. We each hold our left hand up to each other. We have big smiles on our faces.

“Yes, that is my wife over there. I think something special just happened. I don’t know what it means yet.”

“Well, with those butterflies upon both of you, we can definitely say you have been blessed by the Creator.”

Then four doves come flying toward us. Two doves land on my head and two doves land on Brianna’s head. The butterflies hover around quickly and land on our shoulders.

“Now we know you have the double blessing of the Creator!! Praise to HaShem!!”

The dove birds coo in delight on our heads. “Cooo . . .cooo . . .cooo. . . .cooo . . . cooo . . .!!”

Brianna and I hear them speaking to our minds. You are indeed double blessed my servants. My peace and love will be upon you and your family for all times. You will never be alone. Your left hand is the closest to the heart. Share it to give peace and love to everyone you meet. The seeds will be planted. I will do the watering to create a new movement from here. Use your right hand for first time introductions to the Creator.

Brianna and I look at each other while we say it together, “Thank you, Creator.”

Then the birds take off and fly together over the city and out of sight.

Then a rabbi looks at me closely. He speaks quietly to me, “Aren’t you Richard Moore?. Aren’t you the one who saved our money?”

“I am sir.”

Then we hear rumblings through the crowd. They know who I am.

“We better do this fast. Why are you here?”

“I am on my honeymoon trip with my wife, Brianna.”

“How long will you be here?”

“Only for three days sir. We will be spending a total of four weeks elsewhere in Europe.”

“You must make plans to stay here longer the next time.”

“So I have been told, sir.”

Then our fairies flutter off of us in time. Then every man zeroes in on me. “Praise to HaShem!! You saved our money!!! Todah!!! Todah!!! Thank you!!! Thank you!!! (Todah is Hebrew for Thank you)

Then every man starts to shake my hands and hug me. Quickly, the love and peace from the Creator quickly spreads throughout the crowd. I look over to Brianna. I see she is engulfed by the women over there. They thank her that she is married to me. She gets a lot of hugs from the women. Some shakes both of her hands from time to time.

We are trying our best to give our response. “You’re welcome! You’re welcome! . . .”

Then some one begins to chant a praise song about a wedding.

It will yet be heard
in the cities of Judah
and in the streets of Jerusalem?

The voice of joy and the voice of happiness?
The voice of a groom and the voice of a bride.

Od Yishama
b'Arei Yehudah
Uv'chutzot Yerushalayim

Kol sason v'kol simcha
Kol chatan v'kol kalah

Then everyone in the plaza begins to sing the song. I am dancing with the men in several circles. I get grabbed by another man to join another circle. Yoel tries to stay with me. But, soon we are separated.

~~~000~~~

Gavri keeps recording the spectacle before him. Then someone gets his attention. He sees a man making a straight line to Richard. “Oh oh. . . Some one is making a straight line to Richard.” He quickly looks for Brianna. He finally finds her. Her lace head scarf is off of her head. She is easy to spot now. Then Gavri sees a woman making a straight line to Brianna. “What’s this? Some one is after Brianna. I have to keep recording this. I need to get a clear picture of their faces.

~~~000~~~

Soon I see the man making a straight line to me. As soon as he gets within arm distance, I see him taking a short knife out of his coat pocket. He points it into my side. He whispers to me. “Not one word. Follow me. You’re wife is coming as well.”

“Okay.”

~~~000~~~

Gavri gets on his ear piece and lapel mike. “Unknown couple just intercepted Richard and Brianna. I am recording this with Richard’s video camera.”

“Keep following them. We are sending backup right now. They won’t be able to leave the plaza.”

“What about the Rabbi’s Tunnel?”

“We’ve got that covered as well.”

~~~000~~~

Brianna and I are escorted from the dancing throng. Then we make a turn to the Rabbi’s Tunnel. My fairies see us leaving the plaza. They flutter about and follow us. We walk down the steps until we reach the bottom level. There is very little lighting in here. The only lights are provided by the light bulbs strung in the chamber.

“Now stay right there. Don’t turn around to look at us. We were sent on a mission to find you, Richard. Unfortunately, we won’t be able to get you both out of Israel. So, the countries we are representing have decided to have you both killed.”

They draw out two darts from their pockets.

“Let me guess. It has to do with losing your money in the Euro scam.”

“That’s right. We soon realized we were never going to get it back. Are there any last words to say before you breathe you last breath?”

I bring my left arm forward a bit in front of me. Left gauntlet on. My left gauntlet appears on my hand in a blink of an eye. “I only have one word, sir. FREEZE!!!” Into the back of their necks. Leave the mouths unfrozen. I shoot out two freeze darts. “Thwip! Thwip!” Darts return after hitting their necks.

“There are no authorities here.”

The darts fly in the darkness. The darts make a circling arc and hits them in the neck of the man and woman.

“Thoo! Thoo!”

“What just . . . .” They are standing there frozen like a popsicle.

The darts come out of from their necks. “Thwip! Thwip!” The darts return back to my left gauntlet. “Thoo! Thoo!” Left gauntlet return back to cabin closet. The left gauntlet disappears in a blink of an eye. It appears in the cabin closet in Mt. Blanc, North Carolina.

We turn around to face our supposed captors and walk up to them.

“Nice try. But you had no chance to kill us. The only thing I will tell you is that I have earned the third black sash in the Shaolin Dragon Master sequence.”

“Whh . . .what? Tha . . .that means. . . .”

“But now, I am going to really scare you now.”

“H . . .how?”

“Croin warm them up.”

Croin flies out of me. The man and woman get alarmed when they see a dragon in the air. It is flying to them in the darkness. They see glowing eyes with a golden color. He shoots out two short bursts of flames at them. “Fwoosssshh!! Fwooossshhh!!” Then Croin returns back into me as quickly as possible.

~~~000~~~

From the outside, there is an appearance of two golden flashes of light from the chamber. No one takes any notice of it, except for the Mossad agents.

~~~000~~~

They both scream in pain, “ARRRRrrrGGGHHHhhh!!! Dragons!! The pain!! My skin is on fire!!! EEEEEeeeeekkkk!!!”

They turn around and quickly run up the steps to get out of the place. They run right into the Mossad agents.

“Help me!! I’m on fire!! There is a dragon here!!”

They see there is no fire on them. Except their clothes are steaming.

“There are no dragons here. You’re not on fire. Did you see any dragons, Gavri?”

“I sure didn’t, Yoel. So, why are you down here?”

“We were sent to kill Richard and Brianna.”

The lady speaks up quickly. “That’s right, sir. The country we are representing lost their money in the Euro scam.”

Then some more Mossad agents quickly come in to arrest the man and woman. They are cuffed and taken away.

Yoel, Gavri and Yosef quickly are standing by our sides.

“Are you all right?”

“We’re fine, Yoel. Did you see what happened?”

“We remember reading several FBI reports concerning George Weisenthall. Its amazing how you are able to use magic. I am glad you had everything under control.”

“Will you need any statements from us?”

“We’ll take care of that soon. We’ll have to come up with a different solution for the two small flashes of fire.”

“Is there still black soot in this chamber? I mean, I remember reading the Temple was set on fire a long time ago.”

“That’s a good idea. Some black ash caught fire from a short in the electrical wires here.”

Gavri puts his hand to his ears and touch his lapel mike. “Everyone is safe. Our guest had it under control. The man and woman should really be scared when they arrive at the station.”

“That’s good, Gavri. Have our guests arrive at the station here by 4 PM for statements.”

“That is understood. See you then.” “Click!”

“Well, since we are down here. Let’s continue with the tour. We’ll have lunch near the Cardo.”

Yoel begins his talk to explain what we are seeing. We see burnt rock and black ashes in the chamber. We are then directed along a narrow path along the wall’s foundation.

“This sign indicates the nearest location to the Holy of Holies. Men come here to pray several times a day.”

“Richard, I saw an electrical discharge along the stone block seams. They came from this direction. What happened?”

“We felt a mild shock in the palm of our hands. When the doves landed on us, we then heard the Creator’s voice in our heads.” I repeat to them what was said to Brianna and me.

“Hmm . . . So, a new movement of peace and love has started. This will be great for the world. Hopefully the people with the hard hearts will now be softened to hear the Creator’s voice.”

We continue along the narrow path. We squeeze ourselves between the narrow walls. Our fairies can easily flutter through the openings. We make it through, then we feel the dampness of water underneath us. We are walking on top of a plexiglass floor. We look down and see water collecting and flowing along the corridor.

“This water is being channeled to a reservoir near the temple mount. There are dozens of pools built underground in the city. This is where the water is provided to the citizens within the walled city. There are many buildings that have modern piping to bring in cleaner water to the residences.”

We then enter a larger cavern. We see water dripping off the walls and being collected to the trough underneath us. We continue our way and exit out of the tunnel. We are now in the Moslem Quarter.

Our fairies flutter about. They see some more flowers along the way. They drink some sweet nectar to keep their energy up. They follow us as we make our way back to the Jewish Quarter. We make our way to the Cardo. We see a beautiful patio setting of tables and chairs. The fairies see dozens of flowered potted plants.

“There are a couple of eateries down this corridor. You must try the falafels with humus.”

We find an eatery. I take out my wallet.

“Richard, is that US currency in your wallet?”

“It is, Gavri.”

“It will be easier if paid in shekels.”

Gavri quickly speaks with the proprietor in Hebrew. He agrees to exchange our money with their shekel. He calculates the conversion rate. For every dollar, it is about four shekels. We are given paper money in exchange with my paper money. I take out my US coins and put them in the satchel. So does Brianna.

We then purchase our falafel lunch. It is put on a paper tray. We also buy two bottles of water. We exit the side tunnel and find a table. We find Yosef has already reserved us a table. We walk over to it and sit down. We have a great lunch together.

“The Cardo is a small portion of the original roadway from the Damascus Gate. Obviously, this is all that we can reveal. Everything else is built on top of it. This will become more evident when we see the other open areas in the other Quarters. There would be stalls set up with cloth tent coverings along the Cardo.”

We get done eating in about thirty minutes. We see our fairies are now fluttering toward us as we get up and do some more touring in the Old City.

~~~000~~~
NOTE:
In case you are wondering readers, Kraken is a very large squid. The kraken has its origins from the Scandianian countries like Norway. However, in this case, this particular kraken is the first one. It is the subsequent children from this kraken that inhabits our oceans today. They are much smaller than the parents. They are known as the giant squids that we find today. I am thinking this first kraken is on the order of the giant sea reptiles found in the skeleton remains from the sea. Since the Kraken is an invertebrate, there are no bones to discover and verify their huge size. All we have are the ones washed up on our shores.

So, upon further investigation. I came upon references to Cetus. This is the large sea monster that is encountered by Perseus. It has been referred to whales mostly.

Then I found dragonfish. These are the existing species in our oceans. They have huge mouths for their long bodies. They also have long teeth as well. They tend to be on the small size and live at different levels in the oceans.

So, here are some more questions. Is the kraken the first born sea dragon from Eingana? What did it look like?

The people over the centuries did the best they could in describing the unusual sea life found in our oceans. Did they describe them bigger than they really are? I read one story, it was able to raise itself out of the ocean with its head higher than the tallest mast on the sailing ship.

I found Jormungandr is one of three children of Loki. The other two are Fenris the Wolf and Hel (a lady) who rules the land of the dead.. That is according to Norse tradition, mind you.

I am going to provide some alternative choices that will make these stories more reasonable.

For example, Odin has two wolves that accompany him, Geri and Freki. What if Fenris actually came from them? I’ll let you ponder on that idea.

Then there is Jormungandr. Is he the first sea serpent from Eingana?

So, I am going to use Kraken as his name. He is a very long whale type sea serpent. It has a huge mouth that is lined with long teeth. This is the one portrayed in the movies, Clash of the Titans. I will have him shooting out large amounts of water from his mouth. Jormungandr is his older brother.
