During the night, we all find ourselves flying to Romania. As we approach the Dragon Valley, we see a lot of people gathered together in different groups between the hills. We fly in closer to see who is here. We see the Eleven are the nearest group to the entrance of the valley. Beyond the hill rise, we see a ground force of five hundred soldiers, heavily armed with all sorts of weapons. Nearby we see about twenty helicopters and twenty vertical air lift jets parked near the ground forces. We hover above them as we listen to their conversations.

“I’m glad we are getting rid of these dragons. We need to kill all of them.”

“Yeah . . . that’s right. We are the masters of our planet.”

“When did the Colonel say we are going in, Captain?”

“Just at sunset, Sergeant. Once Colonel Wermongaue gets word their shield is down, we fire the missiles containing the toxin to kill them off. Then we go in and mop up the loose ends who might be alive.”

“That sounds easy enough, Captain. We are in and out before midnight.”

“Yes, we’ll have a full moon tonight. Heh, heh, heh . . .”

“Speaking of a full moon, have you heard the wolves howling out here? I tell you it is creepy if you ask me, Captain.”

“Oh, quit using your imagination. There is no such thing as werewolves. It is just a myth.”

“Even if they are myths, we don’t need a pack of wolves attacking our ground forces.”

“For once, I agree with you on that.”

We heard enough from the Captain and the Sergeant. We fly away to see who else is in the valley.

~~~000~~~

We fly beyond some nearby hills. We see men and women that we thought we would never see on Earth. We see male and female vampires grouped together. In another group, we see extremely hairy men and women. We see one of them change into a werewolf. We estimate about two hundred of each group here.

We see two hairy-armed and bearded men talking to each other.

“Heh, heh, heh, little do they realize, once they kill the dragons we move in to increase our numbers from the soldiers.”

“Yes, the vampires and we will have a great feast increasing our numbers.”

“Do you know where these vampires came from, Tolber?”

“I met one of them a little while ago. They said they are from a parallel Earth. He said King Azazel summoned them and brought them here.”

“Well, after we have our feeding, they better go back to their own Earth with their new members.”

“That’s right, Egan. I’ve heard from Emil that Sauron is actually our father in some ways.”

“How so,Tolber?”

“It was he who created us two thousand years ago. He took his experience in creating the Wargs in Middle-Earth and brought that technique here. He wanted a hidden wolf pack to be among the common people this time.”

“That makes sense. However, when we do become werewolves, I feel this total animal drive taking over my life. All I want to do is bite or eat another human. Eating animals in wolf form is no fun. Sigh . . . I would like to control that aspect of myself and be a little more human.”

“I do agree with you on that. Come on, let’s continue our patrol of the clans here.”

Tobler and Egan continue the patrol of their clans’ camp.

~~~000~~~

We fly over to the vampire group to hear what they are saying. We soon discover we can’t stay there long. We see bats flying around. Once a bat lands on the ground, it metamorphs into a human vampire in a little puff of smoke. The male vampire walks up to another male vampire to have a conversation with him.

“I can’t wait to begin the feeding tonight, Arad.”

“I agree with you, Florin. I hear there is a colonel that is leading this army to kill the dragons. I hear he is ruthless just like us.”

“That’s great. He will be a great addition to our brood. Wait a second. I detect someone here.”

They sniff the air. “Sniff, sniff . . . . “

”You’re right. I smell it too.”

We quickly back away and hover higher above them.

“Now it is gone. What did it smell like to you?”

“It tasted human for a second. But, there was another taste I can’t put my finger on it. If I smelled it again, I could probably discern it. But, I also detected some smaller life signs as well, I have no idea what they are.”

“Well, it is gone now. Come on, we need to report into our leaders.”

They walk quickly to their gathering in the valley. They see their entire clan gathered together.

Once the leader sees that everyone is present, he begins his speech.

“I just found out the names of the different multi-verses from Azazel. We are from the Multi-Verse known as the Cartoon Verse. It is there, we have our enemies like Blade.”

~~~000~~~

We quickly look at each other.

Huh? They are from the Cartoon Verse? Something is not right here.

You’re right, father, mother, Omega. Something is not right here.

~~~000~~~

Another vampire speaks up, “We are from the Cartoon Verse? We sure don’t look like cartoons.”

The other vampires snicker and giggle.

“No we don’t, Florin. But, we have the power to be superhuman like Superman. However, there are some things we can’t do like Superman. We don’t have his heat vision.”

“We can stare at someone and hypnotize them.”

“We are not afraid of kryptonite.”

“We are afraid of direct sunlight.”

“We can be very strong.”

“All right, all right. . . . Now then, onto our plans. Once the dragons are dead, we all move into feast on the soldiers. I want the Colonel personally.”

“What about the werewolves?”

“Just be aware of them and stay out of their way. Now get the rest of our shelters in place, we only have an hour left before sunrise.”

The vampires quickly erect the rest of their shelters, so they can sleep and rest during the day.

~~~000~~~

We fly directly to the entrance of the dragon valley. We see two dragons guarding the entrance. We fly to be closer to them so they don’t have to reveal themselves to the forces outside the valley. We land on the ground behind them.

“You are having another sleep vision. When will you be here?”

“Tomorrow afternoon, I think. I will then be equipped to do battle with you. Also, I will bring the basilisk egg that is left behind in Hogwarts.”

The dragons smile, “Yes!! He is our greatest protector for the valley. He was taken from here a little more than a thousand years ago. Bring the egg within the valley. Our Dragon King will restore his memories.”

“Have you found what they are going to do to us?”

“I just heard there will be a neurological toxin dispersed in here. It is designed to kill dragons only.”

“Surely, you jest!!”

“I am not making this up. Don’t forget. I have a drop of Eingana’s blood within me.”

“That’s right. That will cure us if we get infected. Come here as fast as you can.”

We fly away from Romania and fly back to Scotland. Just before we enter the castle, I stop.

Why did you stop, Richard?

I want to know why there are vampires here from the Cartoon Verse. Creator, I need a conference meeting with the other Richards right now.

It is granted, my servant. The other Richards are having the same questions as you are.

~~~000~~~

We immediately appear in the flower field. I quickly extend my feathered wings. In a blink of an eye the other Richards, Briannas and fairies appear as well. Anti-Richard quickly extends his dragon wings.

“What’s up, Richard?”

“We just had a sleep vision of what is happening in Romania. The Eleven wizards and sorceresses are getting ready to tear down the magical barrier protecting the dragon valley. Also, there is a rogue army and air group getting ready to launch a neurological toxin attack. They are led by Colonel Wermongaue. This rogue army group will kill the rest of the dragons. Then I discovered a bunch of werewolves and vampires not too far away. They will feast on the army group to add to their numbers. I overheard one of the vampires say they are from the Cartoon Verse.”

“The Cartoon Verse?! So, that is where my group of vampires went. I have a group of vampires from the Mirror Verse. I have Colonel Ghorganstein leading the rogue army group.”

We all quickly look at each other with concerned faces.

“Oh boy, that means Azazel is really mixing it up. He wants all dragons killed off before he comes to my Earth.”

“Well, there are no werewolves or vampires in the Q-Verse.”

“They are here in the Anti-Verse. Thank goodness they are staying put here.”

“Yes, we must thwart Azazel’s plans. How are we going to do it?”

“Well, Mr. Spellman said I will be equipped to do battle with them after the meeting this morning.”

“I got the same message from mine as well.”

“Hmm . . . what is needed to defeat a werewolf?”

“That’s easy. You need silver, Wizard Richard.”

“That’s true, Richard-Rept. However, silver can kill them. How about we find a way to lessen their animal instincts. That way they are more in control and be a bit more human.”

“I know what you’re saying, Richard. It is likened to the Teen Wolf movie.”

“Yes, that’s right. Then what about the vampire. How do you defeat a vampire?”

“There are several ways, wooden stakes and direct sunlight will kill them. They are also sensitive to silver as well.”

“That’s it! If we can project our images containing traces of silver and dragon blood. That could cure them.”

“It’s worth a shot, Richard-Rept.”

“All right, let’s pay attention to the meeting in the morning. We’ll get our answers then.”

Everyone else responds in one voice, “Right, Anti-Richard.”

All of the Briannas and the fairies quickly hug each other. All of the Richards quickly put a hand onto each other shoulders as they smile.

Our fairies quickly return back to their own Richard and Brianna. We quickly sink below the ground and return back to our own Earth. Anti-Richard and I retract our wings as we fly back to our rooms.

~~~000~~~

We enter our room in Hogwarts Castle. As soon as we are asleep, the alarm sounds out loud, “BZZZZZZZZ . . . .!!!”

I quickly reach over to turn it off. It is now 5:30 AM.

Everyone groans, “Nnnn . . . “

We sit up in the beds and look at each other. “Do you think we’ll find our answer this morning, Richard?”

“I think so, Brianna. The Wizard says we’ll be equipped to do battle with them.”

We get ourselves cleaned up as best we can. Fortunately for the fairies, they have a shower setup. Brianna and I have to settle for another sponging from the pitcher and bowl of water. We get ourselves dressed with one of our outfits we brought with us. The fairies put their shower setup back into the satchel. We put on the multi-pocket coats. Our fairies fly into the pockets and quickly get comfortable. We then put the satchels onto our shoulders. We walk out the door together. We step down the stairs to main floor. We follow the students to the main hall for breakfast.

Some of the students thank me personally for saving their money. I respond with ‘you’re welcome’ each time.

Once we enter the main hall, we walk up to the dais and join the others up there. We sit on the end of the long table where we were yesterday. I set the fairies’ satchel on the table near the two plates for them. The food is brought out quickly to us by the kitchen staff. This time we see bowls of cereal, fruits, bread and jams. The fairies quickly bring out the nuts, berries and make their cups of honey water for breakfast.

We get done eating by 7:30 AM. The students are excused to get ready for their first class at 8 AM. We follow the top five leaders of Hogwarts through a side door that leads to the Forbidden Forest. We follow a worn path to the forest. Once we enter the forest, we are surrounded by many birds. They are singing and chirping their beautiful songs.

“Do you know what they are saying, Richard and Brianna?”

“We do, Wizard Albus. They are thanking the Creator there is a unicorn once more on Earth. They are also thanking the Creator the Omega Unicorn Dragon will help defend and bring peace to Earth.”

Mr. Spellman walks closer to us and whispers to us. “I sense you met the other Richards last night. What happened?”

“We were all given the same sleep vision. We visited our own Romania. We saw the forces there. But, what surprised us, the vampires are mixed up from the different multi-verses. I think Azazel is really determined to kill off the dragons before he gets here. Hopefully, from the meeting this morning, we’ll have our answers.”

“You’ll get them, Richard.”

We continue to walk through the Forbidden Forest. After another fifteen minutes of walking we see the meeting place. We see a natural curtain of foliage surrounding the circle. There is an opening to allow us in. Once we get inside, we see mix gathering of different people. I see elves, dwarfs, male centaurs, three unicorns, unicorn fairies, leprechauns, fairies, elves and goblins three feet high. Behind the small fire, I see a black-haired elf sitting on a large bolder. On either side of him are two additional elves sitting down on boulders. I stand opposite from the black haired elf. The others who came with us spread out to complete the circle facing the fire.

Elf Leonde stands up and steps forward a step. He begins his speech.

“We came here at the Second Crossing from Middle-Earth. We escaped with our lives after we tried to assault Angband. When we were surrounded in flames, we disappeared in a blink of an eye to appear in your Stonehenge. We faced another army. However, fortunately for us, they were not as ruthless as the ones we faced on Middle-Earth. They quickly realized we were more seasoned in battle than they were. They withdrew from the battlefield. We quickly tended to our wounded. Feanor was badly wounded. Then we found favor from the Creator when a beautiful maiden appeared.”

Then the Goddess Rhiannon steps into the circle. Everyone has a big smile on their faces.

“Yes, Rhiannon appeared. She gave aide to help heal our wounded. Once we were able to travel, she led us to the north country here and into this forest where we are now. In time, we learned your world and stayed hidden this forest.”

“We met a family of unicorns here. The elder is Caliber and his mate is Rachel. He gave birth to four unicorns. Their names are Arthur, Guinevere, Loholt, and Rebecca. Caliber was killed for his horn. Rachel was taken to another world, but we don’t know where she went. The death of Caliber ushered in the thousand years of darkness in Europe. This happened in the year 476 when Rome fell.”

“One day, a gift from the Celtic gods was given to us. The Caledfwlch sword was delivered to us. A prophecy was given that the Pendragon would come to help lead the Isles to peace after the death of Caliber. But, invaders came from countries to the south of us. Arthur and Guinevere first year of reign was the only peaceful year they had. They had a son, Loholt. He became part of the Moore family in Wales. Guinevere’s other family members stayed in Scotland. They kept the tradition of King and Queen there. During one generation, a daughter was born. She took on the name of Wilson. This was designed by the Creator so the mother to daughter tradition of the Picts would not disappear.”

“King Arthur’s nephew and his mother did the unthinkable to live longer. When we thought Mordred was killed in battle by Arthur, his mother took him to a cave. She sought out help from anyone. She met one of the Eleven. There she learned about the Elves from Middle-Earth. With dark magic used by the Eleven, two of our kindred were used. They literally made a deal with the devil, or Azazel. Their human blood was exchanged with Elvish blood.”

“Mordred and his mother recovered from the blood exchange. Years would pass. Mordred created a secret group called Mordred’s Legacy. He secretly supported William the Conqueror who invaded in 1066. Then he heard rumors that the Moore family in the lowland moors of the Isles, is connected to the lineage to Arthur. In his rage, he killed the Moores in the lowland moors. But, that was just a ruse for a particular Moore family group to escape to the Americas. Also, the matriarchal line of the Picts followed as well to the Americas. The Scottish kingship stayed in Scotland.”

“That concludes the history of the descendants of Arthur and Guinevere. It has been told to us, you two are the descendants of Arthur and Guinevere. Do you have the proof?”

I speak up next, “We do have the proof. My name is Richard Moore. This is Brianna Wilson. We are married. In our mountain cabin in North Carolina are two books. Each book contains the lineage of our ancestry from Arthur and Guinevere. I can bring them forth here now.” I hold out my hand, “Bring forth the two ancestry books from the mountain cabin in North Carolina, USA.” In a blink of an eye, the two books appear in my hand.

“How is it that you can do magic? Arthur couldn’t do it.”

“Several years ago, I was invited to the world called Twainor.” I then give a condensed story of those two visits. That takes about half hour to tell it. “Because, on that world, the same Ethereal Space rock that is here, is also found on that world. I will now produce the images from my memory.”

With a wave of my hand and arm, I create the images in front of them. They become alarmed when they see the twelve unicorns. Then I make them disappear.

“What’s this? You met unicorns there?”

“I most certainly did. They came from our world. They were taken there before the Great Flood swept Europe into the Mediterranean Sea. Then Brianna Wilson found me.” I repeat that story as well.

“During the night while we slept after I proposed to her, we had a big reunion in the heavens. It is there that I met Arthur and Guinevere.” I create those images.

“Oh my, that is Arthur and Guinevere. You are telling the truth.”

“Not only that, I met Caliber in heaven. Brianna and I also met Rachel, Caliber’s mate, in the Magic Verse.”

The three unicorns have a surprised look, “You met our father and mother?”

“Yes, I did.” I create those two images. I make the images solid. “Also, I have four of Caliber’s fairies with me. Come out Traphel, Rose Lace, Brushwind and Blue Lace.”

They come flying out of the coat pockets. They have big smiles on their faces.

The other unicorn fairies quickly recognize their kin. “Traphel! It’s good to see you again. How is Oren and White Dove doing in the States?”

“They are doing great.”

Everyone is smiling at the reunion. They quickly fly over to the foliage wall and sit on the branches. They quickly get caught up on the news.

“I have my own fairies that I gave birth to.” The rest of the fairies fly out and land on head and shoulders. “There are Amber and Cobalt. They are from Avel the Unicorn on Twainor. There is also White Rose and White Acacia. They are from the Magic Verse. They are from Stellarwind and Sapphire. Stellarwind is from Silverwind and Star Dancer. Sapphire is from Athena and Einhorn. They have a herd of forty unicorns there.” Then my fairies fly over to the other fairies to have a meeting of their own.

Then the three unicorns walk up to be near to the images of Arthur and Guinevere. They feel them as they brush up against them. Then they walk up to Brianna and me. They allow us to hug them on the neck. Their tears drip onto our faces. The tears quickly get absorbed into our skin.

“We even smell them when we are near to you. Thank you, Richard.”

I rub my face with my fingers and taste the tears. I detect a metal taste. “I detect a metal taste in your tears. What is it?”

“We were blessed to have silver blood. Now that you have tasted us, you both have a trace of silver blood in your bodies. You are now considered truly the Omega Unicorn Dragon, Richard Moore. And you Brianna Wilson, will now be able to produce unicorn type male children along with your daughters.”

Brianna and I look at each other as we smile. We hug each other closely, then we hold our hands as we look at the crowd of people. They all have smiles on their faces.

The black hair elf speaks up, “Now bring forth the Caledfwlch, Richard.”

I hand the two books to Merlin. I hold my hands out to the side after I let go of Brianna’s hand. I step forward. “Armor on with the Twainor sword and Caledfwlch sheathed!!”

My armor and helmet appear on me in a blink of an eye. The Caledfwlch is on my left side in its scabbard. The Twainor sword is on the right side in its scabbard. I reach for the Caledfwlch with my right hand. I bring it out for all to see. The Silmaril gems glow brighter beneath Feanor’s tunic. The Caledfwlch glows with a bright light from the cross guard box. Then the gems’ brightness fades.

Feanor stands up and walks to me. He has a big smile on his face. “My name is Feanor. How many swords were made, Richard?”

“There were nine swords made, Feanor. They were made by Calamus, dwarfs and Elves from Middle-Earth. There is a diamond dust in each sword. Each diamond dust contains a single ray of light from the gems within your tunic. Dagba told us there are nine different characteristics of the human soul with each sword.”

“That is right, Richard. The Caledfwlch is now powerful than ever before. Use it wisely when you are in battle. It will cut through stone and metal. The ray of light will help you in the darkness. Also, when you face Melkor and Sauron when the Door of Night is open, it will be my payback to them.” He smiles at me.

“Thank you, Feanor. My first test will be this evening in Romania. The Eleven are getting ready to tear down the magical barrier to the Dragon Valley there. Then a biological weapon will be launched to kill the dragons. Then a rogue army and air group will come into killing any dragon left alive. However, it is a double cross. King Azazel and Sauron are sending in a group of werewolves and vampires to feast upon the soldiers. To top it off, right now as we speak in the other seven multi-verses, not including the Q-Verse, this same event is being played out. All Richards want to thwart this plan from King Azazel.”

“Then let us be in council right now and discuss how are you going to achieve victory.”

We gather around the campfire. We talk it out what is needed to be done to win the night. We talk about it for the next hour. It all depends when the magical barrier is taken down.

“So, how we are going to get to Romania? They are two hours ahead of us.”

The Wizard smiles, “I know of way to get you there very fast. All we need is a fireplace.”

I frown my eyes a bit, “A fireplace? All right, we’ll trust you on that.”

“But first, you must retrieve the basilisk egg from under Hogwarts. You can enter through the caves that face the loch.”

“So, Croin, are you ready?”

Croin pops his head above of mine with a smile. “I’m ready, Richard. I’ll lead you in.”

“I’ll need a large bag to carry the egg, Wizard.”

“I have one here for you.” He holds out his right hand, he recites a short phrase, a large burlap bag appears in his hand in a blink of an eye. He hands it to me.

I take the bag from his hand. I stand up and look upward. Croin flies out of me and hovers above us. The people create some room so I can extend my dragon wings. “I’ll be right back.” I flap my dragon wings and take off into the air. Croin leads me around to the cave entrance under Hogwarts that faces the loch. I follow through the cave system and let Croin use his senses to find the basilisk egg. Soon, we enter the lair. I land on the long concrete floor. There is water all around. I fold the dragon wings back behind me.

“All right, where is it, Croin?”

Then we hear the basilisk speak to our minds. I’m here in the water near the skeleton, Omega Dragon.

I see it, basilisk.

I walk over to the large snake skeleton. I look down in the water. I see a large oval egg. I put the burlap bag on the floor and open it up. I put my hands out toward the egg. I concentrate on it and recite the elevation spell. The egg floats up from the water and into the air. I bring it over and rest it on top of the opened burlap bag. The egg is about two and half feet long and oval in shape. I bring up the bag and close it around the egg.

I’m ready to go home, Omega Dragon. I’ll stay here where I’m safe.

I’ll get you home, basilisk. I lift up the bag and grasp it with my hands. I keep a tight grip on the bag. I fold out my dragon wings. I flap them to hover in the air. Then Croin leads me out of the cave system under Hogwarts. We fly back to the meeting circle. I carefully put the basilisk egg on the ground. “He knows he is safe with me now. He won’t come out of the egg until I get home in the Dragon Valley.”

“Then let us have our afternoon meal here. It is now the first mark after the high sun in the sky. Then you can get ready to travel to Romania.”

Our hosts get ready for the afternoon meal. Food is brought into the circle. Brianna puts the fairies’ satchel on the ground. All of the fairies fly off into the woods to find their choice of nuts, berries and fruits. They come back quickly with large leaves as well. They place the nuts and fruits onto the large leaves.

I recite the words to have the armor and swords return back to the cabin closet in North Carolina. My own clothes reappear on me in a blink of an eye.

We see fish and vegetables are being cooked over the fire. It takes about thirty minutes to cook it all up. It is the same way I saw it when I ate with Avel and Caltron on Twainor in the forest glade. Then large wooden cups are passed around filled with fruit juice for the adults to drink.

We give thanks to the Creator for the wonderful meal we are having. We get done eating by two-thirty in the afternoon. We then get ourselves cleaned up. We go over the plan once more to make sure I get it memorized. This takes us to 4 PM. The campfire is now low in flames. There are plenty of ashes around it.

We put on the multi-pocket coats. Our fairies quickly fly into the pockets to get comfortable. I pick up the burlap bag with my left hand.

“Now pick up a handful of cold ashes from the campfire, Richard and Brianna.”

We each pick up a handful of cold ashes.

“Now you must think of the destination. The destination is Uncle Charley Weasley’s cabin in Romania. It is located just outside the Dragon Valley. Once you have the destination in your mind, you say the destination and throw the ashes into the fire place. You will then appear in that cabin.”

I look at the campfire intently, “Uncle Charley Weasley’s cabin in Romania.” I toss the ashes at the campfire. All of a sudden I get sucked into the campfire and reappear in Uncle Charley’s cabin. I’m a bit covered in ash on my clothes. I still have the burlap bag in my hand.

Then Brianna reappears right next to me. “Ewww . . . we are covered in ash. We’ll need to get cleaned up before we get out of here.”

Then we see an elderly man walk up to us. He stops before us and smiles. “I was wondering when you two will get here. I got word from the dragons you’ll be here, Omega Unicorn Dragon.”

“What is your name?”

“I am Charles Weasley.” He then changes his appearance to appear younger. He has a big smile on his face. “It is almost sunset. The dragons told me you were coming here.”

“You shouldn’t be here, Charley.”

“I know, Richard. I found a way to live longer. I’ll explain it later.”

Then we hear a loud cascade of tingles falling from the sky. “SSSSSSSSHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhssssssss . . . .!!!” We look at each other quickly with concern faces. Then we hear the launch of the missiles, “SSSSCCCCRRRRREEEEEeeeeeee . . . .!!!!” “SSSSCCCCRRRRREEEEEeeeeeee . . . .!!!!” “SSSSCCCCRRRRREEEEEeeeeeee . . . .!!!!”
“SSSSCCCCRRRRREEEEEeeeeeee . . . .!!!!”
“SSSSCCCCRRRRREEEEEeeeeeee . . . .!!!!”

“NOOoo . . . !!! They took down the magical barrier an hour before sunset!! Go Richard!! Save the dragons!!”

My fairies fly out of the coat pockets quickly. They stay near Brianna. I put the burlap bag on the floor. I take off the coat and give it to Brianna. “Armor and both swords on with scabbards!!” The armor and both swords appear on me with scabbards in a blink of an eye. My clothes get folded up and placed on the floor near Brianna in a blink of an eye. I put the gold visor down and close the mouth guard. I set the spell so that I speak with same low voice when I pulled out the Caledfwlch from the stone. I pick up the burlap bag in my left hand. I look toward the window that faces the Dragon Valley. “The Son of Arthur will save the Romanian Dragons!!” I recite the transport spell and disappear in a blink of an eye. I sprout my dragon wings in flight to the Dragon Valley. Croin flies out of me and joins in the flight. We have a look of determination on our faces.

As I fly to the Dragon Valley, I see the army and air force mobilizing to make their way into the valley. I don’t see the two dragons guarding the entrance to the valley. Hopefully, they retreated deep into their valley. Croin and I fly into the valley to find the dragons.

The helicopters are winding up to take flight. “Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! . . .” “Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! . . .” “Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! . . .” “Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! . . .” “Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! . . .”

The vertical lift jets are firing up their engines. “eeeeeeeeEEEEEEEE . . . .!!!” “eeeeeeeeEEEEEEEE . . . .!!!” “eeeeeeeeEEEEEEEE . . . .!!!” “eeeeeeeeEEEEEEEE . . . .!!!” “eeeeeeeeEEEEEEEE . . . .!!!”

The soldiers are moving in several groups into the valley.
