Volume IV Lost Chronicles, Secret Chronicles, Mystery Chronicles, Unchronicles, Twin Chronicles with Appendix by Horace Brave Scout
Book One CHRONICLE OF THE INUNDATION, A. A. S. "Year of the Metamorph" How a small, big-winged, thirsty creature with only a sip of water on its tiny mind set in motion events that created the lake-like Mediterranean Sea--the vital body of water around which most of the earliest and greatest civilizations of mankind were birthed.
CHRONICLE OF THE INUNDATION, VOL. IV, RETRO STAR
SECRET CHRONICLE A. A. S. (Ante Anno Stellae, Before Year of the Star) 100,000 The Flamesteeds of Ara How the cherubic magistrate and Mercy-seat guardian, Uran, joined forces with Michael against the take-over of Universe I by the rebel archangel. How the other two cherubs fought to quarantine the equal threat to Universe II that was posed by the corrupted star-stones.
SECRET CHRONICLE, VOL. IV, RETROSTAR
CHRONICLE OF THE CRYSTAL BRIDGE A. A. S. 9, 500, Battle For the Bridge How Lucifer, the fallen archangel, fails to seize the vital Gate of Ara, which controls access to the twin Universes; how he makes up part of this loss with vindictive destruction, and goes on to attack the new species the Enemy has planted on what he sees as his exclusive domain, a planet in his allotted sector, Universe I. How going up against Michael a third time, for the control of the interplanetary bridge connecting Earth I and II, he is worsted by the loyalist forces commanded by Michael. It is a terribly humiliating and painful setback (almost as bad as being thrown out of heaven by the triumphant Michael and his armies!). Yet human beings, taken in by Lucifer getting them to rebel against the Enemy, remain his to control and manipulate any way he chooses. He has succeeded in stamping out all fearers of God, except for one man named Noah. That one man should be no problem, Lucifer reasoned. What could one man do against him? He, Lord Lucifer, had won the battle for Earth I--or so it seemed to him.
CHRONICLE OF THE CRYSTAL BRIDGE, VOL. IV, RETROSTAR
CHRONICLE OF THE STAR ORACLES (EARTH I) A. A. S. "The Day of Enoch" The Man Who Was Taken Up How Enoch, son of Lamech, cultivated a relationship with the Most High God when most men of his generation worshipped many gods and lived immorally and violently. How the Most High God was so pleased with Enoch that He reached down one day and took Enoch bodily into heaven, but before that day Enoch was given divine signs that signified the meanings God had put in the stars to guide all men back to the truth and to warn them of the coming of His Son, the Dragon-Destroyer.
CHRONICLE OF THE STAR ORACLES, VOL. IV, RETROSTAR
CHRONICLE OF THE HARVEST TIME, Part I A. A. S. 3,301, Year of the Sky Reaper, Harvest Time How no serpent can change its stripes and how a simple shepherd-farmer is confronted with an Atlantean plasma-harvesting expedition. How Lime Flower, Yew Tree's wife, and family coped with being dragged off from their village to slavery in Crooked Tree Village far down from the mountains and on the river plain, and how they were rescued by a God who was unlike all other gods of woods and trees and stones and brooks they had known and worshipped. VOL. IV, CHRONICLE OF THE SKY REAPER, PART I, RETROSTAR
CHRONICLE OF THE QUEST OF THE GOLDEN FLEECE A. A. S. 1200, Voyage of the Argonauts How the vampire race of the Atlanteans, working behind the petty geopolitics of humanity, sought to stop Jason of Iolkos from gaining the Golden Fleece and returning a hero to Greece. All it needed was such a man of this caliber to unify the whole country of Achaea (at present a hodge-podge of rival city-states and kingdoms ruled by lesser men), which would then be a major setback to the expansion of Ilios and its snake goddess, the major player the Atlanteans had chosen to promote in their grand strategy to regain an Earth II recontructed to their liking.

CHRONICLE OF THE TWO SERPENTS, PART II A. A. S. 1230, The Horse of Tenedos How two serpents were released to cause havoc in the Upper World. How two ways of life, two sets of gods, two worlds collided at Ludim's chief city, Ilios, later called Troy (Troas) by the Romans. How the poets, chiefly Homer, celebrated the conflict in terms that glorified the heroes on both sides and capitalized on the abduction of a beautiful queen that supposedly sparked the conflict. How Atlanteans paid a prior visit with a burning "stone" that could have, if finished in construction and put to great effect in the war, have finished the Achaeans in their bid for mastery of the ancient world centered on the Aegean. How, then, the Two Serpent-Armed Goddess was deposed in the bud by the "Horse of Tenedos" and a new world was free to take shape. How these vital affairs played out in the coming of Yeshua, and the Good News of that coming was able to be spread universally by the Greek language (not the mother-goddess's language of the Ludim, which would always be spoken locally, not universally like Greek).
CHRONICLE OF THE TWO SERPENTS, PART II, VOL. IV, RETROSTAR
CHRONICLE OF HORSES OF ISRAEL, A. A. S. 984, The Budding Sopetet How a prophet of Israel, destined to be one of her greatest, was born in Tishbe of Gilead, a village so small it was a flyspeck on the map, and how he suffered early hardship and rough training in Life's School of Hard Knocks, and how he came to confront the king of Israel, Ahab, because he took a foreign, idol-worshipping wife from the wicked heathen city of Sidon.
CHRONICLE OF THE HORSES OF ISRAEL, PART II, VOL. IV, RETROSTAR
CHRONICLE OF LION-KING, A. A. S. 686, The Wounded Lion, How the king of Assyria, though he was styled "King of the Universe," was badly mauled in a campaign against a tiny kingdom called Judah, and how he returned home without his army (which had mysteriously perished in camp in a single night) only to find his country stirring with rebellion against his tyrannical and disastrous rule.
CHRONICLE OF THE LION-KING, VOL. IV, RETROSTAR
CHRONICLE OF THE VISIONS OF DIVINE MEMORY A. A. S. 537 How the prophet of Israel, grown old, took ship from Joppa to the Iktis, the port city of the Isles of Tin in the Extremity of the West, taking not only his loyal servant Uthai but the Good News of the holy name and saving goodness and almighty power of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob to idol-worshipping tribes who burnt people as sacrifices in tree-high haystacks. How the prophet shared with them his divine visions of things and worlds to come.
CHRONICLE OF THE VISIONS OF DIVINE MEMORY, VOL. IV, RETROSTAR
CHRONICLE OF LIMERICK II A. A. S. 270 A Cruise on Joseph's Canal How two Irish Celts from the Gaelic Kingdom of Limerick serving as mercenary soldiers in Ptolemy II's army encountered a late and fading memory of a Great Deliverer who kept the land of Kem, Mizraim, the Land of Red and Black, from starving to death in the "Years of the Fat Hyena" when all crops failed for seven years in a row and the hyenas and other scavangers grew fat on the multitude of dead and dying animals and even the bodies of people left unburied in abandoned villages.
CHRONICLE OF LIMERICK II, VOL. IV, RETROSTAR
CHRONICLE OF CLEOPATRA A. A. S. 31, The Horse of Antirrhodus and the Burning Eye How the last ruler of the royal Macedonian line of Ptolemy in the Land of the Red and Black sought to stop Caius Julius Caesar Octavianus, the grand-nephew of the late Julius Casesar of Roma, from seizing her kingdom so that she could reign as Empress over East and West, with herself deified as the Goddess Isis's incarnation, thus heading the world's state religion. How she retrieved from the world-famed Museum of Alexandria's archives certain old books that contained plans for a super-weapon invented by a race of "Orthrysians"--reputed to be demi-gods from the distant past who had paid her predecessor, the Macedonian pharaoh Ptolemaeus II Philadelphus a state visit with this all-powerful weapon as a "gift" in exchange for certain concessions.
CHRONICLE OF CLEOPATRA, VOL. IV, RETROSTAR
CHRONICLE OF THE STAR OF THE ROSE A. S. 4 -, Wan Li and the Star-Men of the Zoziash How Wan Li, a wealthy merchant of the kingdom of Kuo in the lands of the East, met a prince of stargazers, and together in a caravan they followed the star of the coming King of the Jews--which first appeared in the Sign of the Fish set in the heavens by the Creator of heaven, the earth, and all things and creatures int them; how they met the wicked king in the West, and yet found the young Child born King of kings and Lord of lords, Whose star led them to his house in the little town of Bethlehem of Ephratah-Judaea; how Wan Li and the Star-men worshipped the divine Child, and gave Him royal gifts, then returned secretely without telling the wicked king the whereabouts of the precious Child, and how all their lives were changed forever by the mere sight and Presence of the holy Child.
CHRONICLE OF THE NATAL STAR A. S. 1-30, The Naked Brave How the Light-Bringer, Lucifer the Covering Cherub who hovered above the Throne of God and kept the Stones of Fire, lost his place in heaven after seeking to be Supreme Deity and was cast out by Michael the archangel and his loyalist forces. How the Messiah, only Son of the Great Father Spirit, leaving the Great Council Fire to live and fight for his Father on Earth (lost to Lucifer and his allies), stripped off his skin and scalp, leaving them shining in his Father's sky-lodge, and how like a star they went seeking for him on Earth.

To the Jews the crushing of the wine glass in a Jewish wedding recalled the destruction of the Temple by the Romans in ANNO 70, but to the Basques, it meant the whole universe was shattered--never ever to be put back together as it had been. (How could he barter and trade the destinies of whole nations as if they were trinkets and trifles? Peddlers, like foraging rats, consider only the present moment, and the penny or two gained or lost--never the long haul, which is, for a peddler, far to frightening to even consider in a rodent-type mind.

Yet it infests the ship, spreads its diseases with its own dirt, and gives the crew a deadly plague, and the ship, without anyone to guide it to safety, strikes a rock and sinks, drowning the rats who caused the disaster. This has happened countless times. Their own nature, thus, gnaws off the rope that holds them above the pit. Pity the civilization where such men, such vermin, proliferate and gain high office!

Epilogue II
EPILOGUE II, "THE HARROWINGS OF HADES AND HELL," RETRO STAR
The crew also shifts shape. When they dive in the water they turn to sharks, but
they resume their former flat, card-like shapes when they leave the water. One Black Ship hand, Arthur Jackson, prefers zipping around the water as a sleek shark more than he likes his awkward existence as a playing card on land. He would stay in the water indefinitely, but there is a limit in the time set for each shape-shift. If he goes over it, the water feels like boiling oil and battery acid combined, and he has to get out immediately. An escapee from Wolverton, his DNA got into Tutasix, and Wally recruited him along with others from the same reform school. Sent to Wolverton by the authorities as an incorrigible juvenile for cheating on a test, talking back to a teacher, and sharing a bottle of beer with a school mate, Arthur Jackson
was fortunate they had not known some of his other achievements--such as burglary,
arson, and the murder of an old Chinese man for a couple dollars he found afterwards in his pocket.
There is little danger of any of the cybernauts taking an interest in the serving women on board. The black woman, Madame Tumpo, is all business when it comes to her duties as ship cook, and her helper, Betti, is an almost mindless victim of the pirates--more like a child than an adult. Amazingly, in her former life, she had been a film star in Holland America--but you wouldn't guess that looking at her now. She was treated so wretchedly, she is half-crazed and almost toothless.
Now it was deserted--as this city was in virtual reality, with scarcely an inhabitant to hold down Fort
Nisqually that had been moved up to be the centerpiece of Point Defiance Park. He wandered up there and took a look at
Never Never Land and the old, reconstructed fort.
Since they were supposed to help provision the ship, he started looking around. N
ot a person showed himself at the smelter with the towering stack, or at a huge grain elevator, or in the rows of warehouse.
Suddenly, a rabbit bolted out of the open door of a warehouse when he went to look in. Seeing his dinner getting away, Ero gave chase. The rabbit made for the beach in a zig-zag way of rabbits. Though wondering about this particular specimen, he had chased hares enough in the Peloponnesos and even on Seriphos his home island enough to know their tricks. Certain it would try to make for its hole under driftwood or rocks, he raced to head it off. But the rabbit dove into a tangled wood pile.
Ero swore as he thought of the wasted time and energy. He was very hungry by now. He found a club and waited where he last saw the rabbit.
He did not have long to wait. But what he saw made him hold off clubbing it. It was something out of a story for children, a rabbit-man! Only it was not at all attractive. A human face appeared attached to a rabbit's body. Its troubled, weak and watery eyes searched about, then filled with dumb shock as it saw him.
After a lot of walking, he entered the downtown, which was full of empty, dreary buildings, and came round a waterway to a big domed building.
"Go down and greet them," he said to Ero. "They'll appreciate a new face. Lord knows I'm sure sick of theirs! And that old screeching mother-in-law of Kelly's they call Fast Lucie who comes every evening and sings! She's ninety five, if she is a day! I try never to be there for that, but somehow I always get stuck, and here she comes in the door and I am trapped! I must have heard her sing "When the Red, Red Robin Comes Bob-Bob-Bobbin Along!" a million times by now."
Ero wasn't listening as the old man complained, still playing his cards. He headed for the door, and soon found a way up this interesting train station that had no trains but still had a lot of dome to it.
He pulled himself up past the ring of teeth and climbed the last stretch to the top.
He reached out again, and though careful not to slip over the edge of the dome, he
found that the mountain and the clouds and sky were not real at all. They were
a scene somebody had pulled across the view, to give it a nicer look. Curious as much as repelled, he leaned out as far as he could and touched the mountain again. It gave way to his touch, and it even parted as if it were a curtain. That settled it for him. He wasn't afraid any longer of falling. He leaped at the mountain, grabbed it, and the next moment he was swinging behind it, still with a grasp on the paper thin mountain.
Behind it was darkness, lit by something in the background. He jumped away from the curtain and landed in a landscape, very steep, strewn with rocks piled one on top of the other. He climbed up to get a better view of the top of the rocky slope.
Far off he could see what looked to be buildings or shrines, glowing with a strange
intensity. But he felt as he gazed that something was gazing back at him, something full of hate and cunning and great power. Suddenly, he did not want to explore any further into this backstage of his world. He turned and made his way as fast as he could to the bottom of the rocks, and then made a leap that carried him through the backside of the mountain and out into the light of day. He rolled to a stop,
painting, still shocked at what he had found. He jumped up, looked around, and there rose the Union Station as regally and substantially as before. Ero blinked rapidly. Had he imagined the world behind the mountain? The mountain looked absolutely real
where he stood. He took a few steps toward it, then reconsidered, and spun around, and, as he had been advised, found the street that Crazy Dan said would take him to Kelly's Tavern.
He did not have to walk very far. It was three blocks down on the left side of the street, which he saw on a street sign was named Pacific. It was a small, brick sided building, a few yards from tracks that cross Pacific and headed toward the back of Union Station.
He could not tell anything from the windowless walls of the tavern, exccept that the sign said "Kelly's, and "Good food, Good Music, Good Drinks and Punchcards."
He found himself in the dark immediately, and his eyes had to adjust first before he could see anything ahead of him in the dark wood paneled room. It looked like any tavern, except that the little tables were arranged close to a loudspeaker system and mike, and a couple drums and a few instruments. He went and seated himself, and no one came to throw him out because he wasn't dressed like the others. A couple sat at one table, hand in hand beneath the table, and they were the only ones in the tavern except for a big-stomached, older man with wispy, reddish hair and his thin, even older looking helper who were washing up behind the bar.
The wispy-haired man, wearing a white bartender's apron emblazoned with "Kelley the Bouncer," laid it aside, and picked up a bass electric guitar and sat down and began to tune it. The couple at their table sat talking quietly, totally absorbed in each other. Both paid no attention whatsoever to
anything but each other.
The older man came out to Ero's table, his towel on his arm, and gave him a menu and a drinks list. He went away.
Ero did not even have time to look at it as the door behind him swung open, and
an old woman entered, going directly to her table which had a Reserved Sign on it next to a pot of tea, a wine glass, and a lit candle.
She did not sit but bent over the wispy-haired man, and they talked for a few moments, and then the red haired man rose, took the mike and announced that his mother-in-law, Fast Lucie, would favor them with a special song! As he made this announcement, the
older bartender sat at a small organ and was playing an accompaniment to Kelly's
words, adding flourishes, as Kelly plucked at his bass electric guitar and told dirty jokes.
After he had finished the last and dirtiest nun joke, underscoring the punch line with combined flourishes of the organ and his electric guitar, thus drowning out any groaning or catcalls, Kelly turned to the special feature of Happy Hour.
"Yes, ladies and gentlemen! Have we ever got a a special treat for you all tonight! Yessir! Fast Lucie, whom you all know as the Owl Party Candidate of 1976 who placed third with 46, 807 votes for the office of Secretary of State in this godforsaken state, has still got her opera diva's vocal chords in fine
fettle, and she's agreed to try out a brand-new number, the smash hit, "Red, Red Robbin," which is presently Number 1 on Kelly's Hit Parade!"
After this introduction, Ero wasn't sure he wanted to hear her any more than Crazy Dan back at the Union Station. But as he turned to go, he stopped, finding himself literally up against a blank wall. No door! This made Ero almost go crazy to discover without the slightest warning! He rushed the opposite direction, looking for a window, another door, any way out of the building.
Nothing! He could still break out if he could, by using the furniture, to
beat a hole in the wall, even though it looked like real brick. He wasn't going to be trapped like Crazy Dan!
But he was trapped, for Fast Lucie wasted no time, and with an almost deafening accompaniment of organ and bass guitar had begun belting out her
signature song. All this--the
bass guitar, the organ, Fast Lucie and the bawling man, was more than Ero could take. "Show me, show me, please, mister...show me the way to go home...
He was just about to run and ram his head against the wall if he had to in order to escape when Fast Lucie suddenly blinked her eyes and shut her mouth in the middle of a stanza and fell down at her reserved table. Her glass of blush wine was filled, and her pot of tea was refreshed, and Kelly and the bartender smiled despite her old legs collapsing under her like that, and the lovers at their table even looked up and grinned, then went right back to their
private conversation.
Fortunately, a door had appeared where it had been before, and seeing it Ero escaped
without a moment's hesitation. He burst out into the fresh air, and then
fled back up the street, just to get as far away as he could. Nothing, he was determined, was going to trap him like that again. He headed straight for the ship, running as fast as he could.
The steep hills, however, soon slowed him down. He grew confused. The streets all looked the same to him. He was trying to find the stadium he had seen, but he must have passed it, he thought. He kept going, in the direction of the waterfront where the Argo was tied up--at least he thought he was heading that direction. Coming down Carr Street, after what seemed like several miles, he saw the water ahead. But he
was footsore, and stopped to rest. At that moment he saw a simple frame house with a high gable, a porch and a sign above it titled "Seamen's Rest." A motherly looking woman in a flowing, old-fashioned, peasant-like black dress was standing on the porch, smiling and beckoning to him. A young blonde-braided girl, also dressed extremely old-fashioned in a long dress and a dark, lace-fringed cap, stood by her as if they were awaiting him.
"You're a young man from the White Ship," the woman said with a singsong
accent, "and I am Mrs. Funnemark, Christine's mother."
The young girl laughed and shook her braids.
The former Olympic torch bearer of the secular 22nd Century Crystal Age did not know what a mission was, Christian or otherwise, and had no desire to find out. Besides, the house had the strange look of being way out of its time period, by at least a couple centuries. How could he put it politely, that he wasn't interested in their hospitality and "comfort"? Then he thought of something. "I am probably late to my ship. They might leave without me."
Both women laughed! "Oh," Mrs. Funnemark said, "I've met your good captain already, and he agreed to lay over another day if any of his hands are late in returning. So come right in and have some coffee and doughnuts. Christine here will sing you a nice song at the piano! She plays well for her age, I think you will agree."
Ero could not resist that--he felt he was starving for food, for the first time since he disembarked. Anything, even these offered "doughnuts" sounded good to him right then. He hurried after the women into the house, and found himself in a parlor with overstuffed chairs, a lot of newspapers and books, a piano, and a highly polished table with a bouquet of flowers set on it in a tall crystal vase. Filled with embroidered pillows and lace doilies and needlework flags of Norway, it was a quaint though beautiful room, everything dusted and shining with polish and cleanliness. He saw a staircase at the side, leading to the second level, on which he heard slow, halting footsteps and a tapping with them. A mariner came down slowly and entered the parlor, greeted Mrs. Funnemark and Christine, who introduced him to Ero as Mr. Christolph, the sole survivor of the British clipper Atalanta that sank in Deception Pass. Mr. Christolph, unable to sail again from injuries in the Atalanta's sinking, using a cane, exchanged some books from the little library in the parlor, and taking a doughnut and some more coffee went even more slowly back up the stairs.
Mrs. Funnemark glanced at the old sailor as he went away. She smiled at Ero, observing, "Many sailors are like that, I find, toward the end of their seafaring. It is a dangerous, hard life they have. They start off so young, many of them mere boys who skip out of school if they can to run off to sea for the adventure of it. They are strong and courageous and good-hearted. That serves them for a time, but the hardships wear on them, and they turn old before their time. Without education, children in their minds, they fall prey to the temptations of the ports, many of them. All the money they earn is taken from them--so they never can save anything. When they finally are old, they suffer in their bodies, and need care. So when they come by here, we try to do whatever we can to ease them. They never remain here long, for their adventurous hearts always urge them to move on to some other place--always roaming, until they die in a lonely room somewhere. They like to be quiet here and remember their younger days, the good days, at sea, so we let them talk when they want to, or be silent if they wish! I am telling you all this, because you are just starting out, are you not?
Sitting down where the women showed him, Ero was handed a tray with a big pile of fresh doughnuts and a steaming cup of coffee. As he devoured the homemade but somewhat bland doughnuts (though he would have preferred roast goat with rice, some cheese and olives, Turkish coffee and dessert of marzipan), he heard
the girl begin singing at the piano, and her voice, though not remarkable, was sweet enough. He began to listen once his stomach pangs went away. Mrs. Funnemark refreshed his cup, and offered him cream and sugar.
The room was warm, and he felt so at ease there that his head fell back on the
couch, and the next thing he knew someone had laid a blanket over him, and
then gently guided his head to a pillow and his feet to the other end of the sofa, and he was oblivious to the world.
Her raised eyebrows and smile seemed to encourage him.
"What is this place"? he burst out. "Why are you doing this for me?"
Mrs. Funnemark glanced toward a gold-framed picture of a bearded sea captain over the fireplace mantel. "My husband and his ship and crew went down, all drowned--and so
I felt called of the Lord to do something for seamen if I could. I sold our home in
Norway, and here where we landed my daughter and I have tended seamen like you since then. We have never regretted it. So many sailors have come to our door--we have a guestbook you must sign before you leave and go back to your ship, young man."
Ero looked at the guestbook she had meanwhile picked up and was handing to him.
It fell open, and her eyes caught the names on the sheet. She started telling him about the entries, whom they represented.
After he listened to her tell something about each ship, he had to ask her something. "What is this city? I don't think I like being here. I want to leave. It is like no city I have ever known. Where are all the people?"
She smiled, but her eyes were not smiling. "It is called the City of Destiny, young man. It has three Gates, or three Doors--the Door of the World, the Door of Flesh, and this Door of Seamen's Rest Christine and I keep here for sailers like yourself--make of it what you will. You can leave this city now with your ship and good captain, but you must choose once you've come ashore. What door, what doors, did you choose, young man? For I know you have gone into the city before you came here."
Mrs. Funnemark, gathering the plates and napkins, turned to Christine. "Dear, you tell him, while I go and wash up. If I need you to come and tidy things a bit more, I'll call."
She went out to the kitchen, leaving Christine and Ero in the parlor--who could not have presented a more strange sight.
Christine turned to Ero, who was embarassed to be left alone with her, though
she was too old-fashioned to his eye to be attractive.
The sea captain's daughter eyed him keenly, as one who knew sailors top to bottom, fore and aft. And she knew exactly what lanyards were, and what to pull to haul up the main sail or trim the jib sail too.
She held out a small, glossy-black book. "Here, read this please. It isn't very long. It will tell you
what the Door of Flesh is."
Ero took the book reluctantly, glancing at its title, "Diary."
Christine noticed his glance and explained. "It is a sailor's account of his time here. He came off the clipper, Dashing Wave."
Ero opened it to the first entries, and it was in English, but that was
one of the world's official languages, so he had no need for Christian to translate.
He began reading.
Oct. 29--"Was paid off this morning. Decided not to sign back on. Went to Seamen's Rest, but could not settle myself to read. Met a dandy fellow, sailor from Captain Wolvewoeld's clipper, Sea Wolf, took him around town...we had quite a spree. Turned up at the Rest slightly excited, but cold not sit still for five minutes...had to run out for more beer at Kelley's.
Oct. 30--"After dinner I went to the Rest, where I had a long talk with Miss Funnemark, being greatly touched by her wonderful faith in God.
Nov. 17--"Turned out 10:30 in a very uneasy state of mind, a sense of foreboding evil overpowers and smothers me like big black wings...met Miss Funnemark who told me I should not do anything crooked...am sure something is going to happen, tho' don't know what. At the Rest, heard of the loss of the Dashing Wave.
It went down off Alsea Bay, 16 miles south of Yaquina Bay, taking some of my chums. Would God do that if he were a good God as the Funnemarks tell me? I doubt it!
Nov. 18--"Captain Wolvewoeld returned to port, and is needing a few hands. Should I sign on or not? Can't decide. You have to sign on pretty much for life, with this skipper. Not sure I want to spend my whole life on his one vessel. Heard he was looking for hands down by Yaquina Bay near where the Dashing Wave, bound for Britain via the Horn, went down--but no sign of anything but the wheat cargo and some barrels on the beaches.
Nov. 19--"Got on a horrible drunk with the boys from the Sea Wolf, then went to the Rest...Oh, how I felt when I came to myself and found out where I had been and where I was."
Ero flipped through the next pages, all blank, then turned to Christine.
"Is that all?" he asked, surprised. "It is a very short account he wrote. Why isn't there more?"
Christine looked down. "But he chose and ended it exactly there. You see, he took his own life on November 20. Since the book was left here, we came into possession of it. He gave us no address when he signed our guestbook, so we can't sent it to his family or relatives.
Now do you understand what Mama meant by "Flesh" and the fateful Door it represents?"
Ero thought for a moment, shifting uncomfortably on the sofa, which seemed to
grow hot, then cold. He remembered Kelleys, and the sailor's account pictured
what happened to anyone who could not escape from there. Maybe he thought he could escape his desires if he killed himself? Maybe he thought that was the only way out? Was it? Ero could not be sure. He too had desires--and he had never dreamed that he should resist their control over him--not until, that is, he read the sailor's account and heard from Christine how he ended up. It made him think all the more. He could not resist asking something that had nagged him about Crazy Dan, and until now he had not been able to put it into words. This seemed to be his opportunity to get clear on the matter, before he shipped out with his captain. He rose and moved toward the door. "I gotta go, but I do have another question. What is the Door of the World?"
"You can be a slave to the desires of the flesh, which ultimately demand your soul in payment" she said. Ero, out of the porch, paused. It was quiet on the porch, then he was moved to aay, "I don't think I have been much of a slave to my desires, though I now see where they can lead a man. But the World? What is that?" She followed him down the steps. He eyes seemed to grip his. "The World? It is the lust of the eye and the pride of life that is in it. Men hunt the World's glittering gold, wealth and status, power and prestige--and they too will turn hunted and lose their souls when the World demands full payment. Remember, what the World gives so sweetly, it will someday take back, with shark's teeth. That is why you should not seek its honors and rewards, or if you do seek them, then don't give your heart to them."
Her words "they too will turn hunted..." and "it will someday take back, with shark's teeth" burning inside his heart, the former Olympic torch bearer walked quickly off.
"Good-bye!" she said. "You are always welcome at the Rest!"
Only when the high gable of the Funnemarks' home was out of sight did Ero realize he was carrying something. The diary! He took a few steps back toward the Rest, then stopped. He shook his head, then flung the suicide's last words into the bushes off to the side and continued on, hurrying to the White Ship, anxious as he was to get away from Kellys, Crazy Dan, and now Seamen's Rest.
Ero swore, but the buzzing only got worse as he went further down the road. Going back, he read what it had to say.
Furious, Ero gazed back up the road toward the Rest. Had the Funnemarks made trouble for him? How did anyone but them know he had not signed the guestbook and
thrown the diary?
Ero passionately hated the thought of being led around by a potato or a bean or a walking fish. And "Start again at the beginning?" He didn't like the sound of that. The very idea put him in a more sober attitude, and now cooperating he hurried back up the road--botless. He remembered where he had thrown the diary, and he was relieved when he saw it. If he had to face the Funnemarks again, they would be certain to ask about it.
Ero knocked on the door, not finding the Mrs. and Miss. Funnemark standing on the porch.
After four knocks still nobody answered, so he was about to turn away when he heard the tap-tap-tap of a cane approaching the door from within.
The shipwreck survivor opened the door and gaped at Ero as if he were
a complete stranger.
Irritated, Ero said: "I've come to return a book the Funnemarks loaned me..."
Before he could say any more, the old sailor turned and went away, leaving Ero standing there in the dloorway like a fool.
Not knowing what to do, he took a step in, and then saw the big note pinned to the
newly set up Christmas tree.
"Thank you for returning the Diary, which is our cherished keepsake, all we have of the
poor, lost sailor. And please don't forget to sign our guestbook. Before you go, help yourself to the doughnuts on the counter in the kitchen. There is milk in the cooler. We will be back presently, to greet another sailor and another ship when they come in. God be with you and keep you--Your servants in Christ, Mrs. Faith Funnemark, and Christine.
Stunned that the Funnemarks were so sure he was going to come back to the Rest,
Ero did as he was instructed. He signed the guestbook, then put the Diary down on the sofa where Christine had given it to him. He noticed another note, pinned to pillow decorated with the flag of Norway. It read, "Dear Ero, I hope you do not think I am too forward as a girl, but I hope we meet again. Remember there are three doors, and if you choose the right one, I promise you we will meet again. That would be most pleasing to me--Best Wishes, Christine. P.S. The clothes in the box on the porch were left by a sailor who has not come back for them, and we washed and ironed them for you. They look just your size.
Forgetting the doughnuts, Ero went out, closing the door. He had not seen a box by the coor when he came, but there was a box waiting for him. He popped the box open and found two sea-blue pants and shirts, socks, and canvas shoes and even a sailor's cap and scarf. Suddenly, he felt like he could use some warmer gear, as snow flakes began swirling down around him on the already whitened porch. He glanced up, surprised to find the sky thick with snowfall.
Shivering, he dressed quickly, and with the scarf and hat and thick socks and shoes, the blue flannel shirt and pants made him feel warm enough for the northern weather he was experiencing for the first time.
With the other change of clothes bundled into a kit that he stowed under his arm, he started off, his feet crunching in a foot of snow. He glanced back at the house, and it looked so cheerful, with a wisp of smoke from the chimney above the high gable, and a lantern lit in a window shining out on the drifted snow. It was beautiful. But a thought suddenly intercepted him. "Why not go and enjoy a few beers at Kelley's to warm you for the long voyage ahead?"
That sounded like a very fine idea to him, and he changed direction and headed toward the downtown section of the City of Destiny.
Strangely, the snowfall stopped right at the city limits and it grew warmer the closer he got to Kelley's. It was so hot he couldn't stand the shirt, and he stripped it off.
Again, he was a little out of synchonization in the allotted time frame, and he dropped his
kit on the ground, as he saw something ahead moving determinedly along the same route he was on.
A frog! It was hopping, making big hops, straight toward Kelley's Tavern.
Where was the high-pitched voice coming from? Not from a frog surely?
He caught up to it, and got it in his hand.
Ero, a look of horror coming over him, put the frog gently down on the
snowy sidewalk in front of Kelley's. He backed away, but not before he saw the frog vanish and Fast Lucie stand where the frog had been a momnt before. Still singing, she went in the door.
Kelley came out almost immediately, his big apron stained with the makings of pizza, beckoning to him with his arm. "You're just in time! Cmon in! You don't wanna miss the good times, Happy Hour, and Fast Lucie here doing the entertaining! You even get one free pull tab on the house after the first two beers--after that it's one freebie every four drinks. You can win yourself a bundle. We're all winners here--you'll see! It's just a matter of time!"
Ero backed away even further, then turned and ran. He heard Kelley yelling, and Fast Lucie too, but he soon put them out of sight and hearing as he raced back straight to the waterfront of old
Ruston and the White Ship.
He had to find out one thing--how he might be able to find a way out and back to his
home islands. Hope leaped in him. Quickly he began to climb up, to see what there was around him, and if he
could possibly catch a glimpse of his beloved islands and coasts from there.

Before Atlantis, there was Mukalia. Atlantis learned a great deal from
the mother civilization, and continued many of its traditions. The power crystals, for instance, with the wisdom that made them so useful, transferred to Atlantis after what was left of Mukalia was being explored by long-tailed ratfish and giant squids on the bottom of the sea.
The Star of Bethlehem was something different from what the magi
understood it to be. It moved independently, stopping and going, leading them to the exact site of Yeshua's birth city, Bethlehem.
,p>
In 22nd Century Greece, in the last hours of the Crystal Age, Ero, an Olympic Torch bearer, waits for the torch on a lonely road in the Peloponessos, the southern island that is the site of Olympia, where the Games started in classical Greek times thousands of years before. Little does he know as he waits impatiently for the torchbearer to show up, that his DNA specimen, taken by the Olympic commission shortly before, will ultimately land him in a far future time and place as an Argonaut.
The White Ship begins with an intermediate stage. Popup boards
appear from time to time to give them enough information to make their decisions.
Ero, the last Cyber-Argonaut to arrive, wings his way through cyber-space to his rendevous with the White Ship, or Argo V, and passes a number of remarkable objects on the way--valuable hardware from all eras of time caught up in a kind of airborne Ebay, only nobody could order any of it.
At the first anchorage, the Black Ship awaits the White Ship. Given shore leave, some of the flat-dimensioned pirates camp out and enjoy the local half-human fauna--which they serve up roasted, no matter how grotesque the creatures.
The pirate vessel, the Black Ship, lies at anchor, deceptively peaceful-looking. It unexpectedly, from time to time, changes shape, however, adding and subtracting decks and superstructure, fore and aft, as if it were gearing up for something. At this moment it looks like a Dutch merchant.
Captain Wolvewoeld is a man of long, varied experience--assault, murder, kidnapping, robbery, conspiracy, destruction of public property, sabotage, explosives, air piracy, extortion, and sedition. His Coat of
Arms (shown on the ship's pennant) is Argent, above two bars gules, three mullets gules. Crest-coronet. Crest: a demi-eagle rising sable. Motto, in Latin: Exitus Acta Probat (The End Justifies the Deeds). Initial device: Ww, fess point gules. He would have made (or perhaps he did) a good
Nazi SS officer.
Arrived on the White Ship, a Cyber-Argo, Ero has some adjusting to do.
The ship is really an airship before it takes to water, and it flies to its the appointed meeting place with its rival and opposite, the Black Ship.
The Argo V is towed to its anchorage by a Triton, or merman serving as a harbor pilot, that
is as powerful as any tugboat.
A cybernaut takes a look at Ero, but Ero, despite his open eyes, doesn't even see him.
Ero, as everyone else aboard has done, meets his skipper, Captain Pikkard. Along with being an oarsman, Ero is appointed ship's musician by Pikkard, as he can sing as well as an Orpheus ever sang for the first Argo and provide some cheer for the voyage, as soon as he can find or make himself a suitable guitar.
The cooks aboard the Black Ship, a black woman and her helper, are being mistreated. They desert to the White Ship, and Captain Pikkard, after hearing their story, gives them refuge. The Black Ship doesn't send anyone to pursue the women, but a cannon is aimed at the White Ship--and for a few moments it looks like they will be blown out of the water befor the game even begins. But the cannon retracts, and there s no outbreak of hostility. The women remain--to do the
White Ship's meals. Captain Pikkard sends them to the galley, what there is of a galley aboard so small a ship.
As the cyber-Argo, the White Ship, sails the upper part of the Puget Sound of the
Northwest, romance breaks out almost as soon as the ship comes into sight of a tribe of some lovelorn women on the shore.
Captain Pikkard is the last one to stand in the way of romance and marriage (which go together like a horse and carriage in vitual reality), and a Cyber-Argonaut knight weds his sweet lady love.
Yet as the wives of sailers all know when they make their solemn vows, there is going to have to be separation for a time when the ship leaves port, as all ships must do to complete their voyages. After a brief but poignant honeymoon on a secluded island beach for the married couple, the White Ship continues on its way, entering a swift-currented channel that sweeps it between the halves of a ruined bridge. Where is the Black Ship, by the way? They have not seen it in days, and that is not necessarily a good sign.
Even in the Cyber-Spatial Inland Sea of the Puget Sound, there are
treacherous rocks with ship-smashing rip tides and sneaker waves--sure doom for
any passing vessels. The White Ship just barely clears, losing a bit of its
stern ornament.
Each ship is allowed three turbo thrusts. To escape the pirates, who were waiting just on the other side of the Clashing Rocks, Captain Pikkard chose his option to escape with only the loss of his tail feathers. The White Ship reappeared just off Point Defiance, Tacoma, or what was Tacoma in the 1970's before it was hit by a 9.7 killer quake that dropped the whole peninsula and outlying areas into a hole that nearly reached China.
Sent ashore to provision the ship and have a look around, the crew
dispersed. Ero went walking along the Ruston village beachfront, which had been a scene of liveliness decades earlier with lumberyards, boat-building, a fising fleet marina, and busy docks lined with
ships from all over.
After a look around at some other oddities, he went back down the steep streets to the
waterfront, which suited him more, being a sea-loving Greek.
Grunting with disgust, Ero backed away and then ran back to the road. He hoped he would never be forced to kill and eat such a pallid, mixed-up creature.
As he walked along the side of Commencement Bay, gazing across it to the hills on the other side and then at a big stadium in the hillside, with a hotel-like building above it, he wondered what he would find in the city that lay beyond.
Going in out of curiosity, he found it empty, except for one man sitting at a two-legged table, playing solitaire. The fellow, dressed in boots and fisherman's gear, hardly noticed him, though the two of them could not make a stranger pair.
Crazy Dan, hardly looking up from his cards, introduced himself. He had been a great man in the area once, when there were still a lot of people. Where they all went, he had no idea. It was a pretty dull place, he said, now that he had only Kelly's Tav just down the block to wet his whistle, and this place, the old Union Station which no longer ran trains full of people heading for Seattle or Portland.
Now it was just him, and the pigeons in the dome. Ero looked up. The dome fascinated him. He wondered if he could climb up from the outside and get a view of the whole city from it. Crazy Dan, however, continued talking, telling Ero his whole life story, or a good part of it. Biggest dang Ford dealership in the whole Northwest! He got to the top by taking sledge hammers and smashing his own cars in the lot. That really got folks to give him attention. Once he got their attention, he could get their money. And he was a millionaire before his hammer arm got tired! With his dough he planned to build the biggest mansion on Mercer Island. He planned to invite Seattle's hoity toity nobs over to his place and show them a real Picasso! That would draw them in for sure. Then he would show them the rest of his swanky estate--the indoor pool with the real Orca whale in it, and other things he had dreamed of buying while he was raking it in down at the dealership. Once he sold it--that is--he'd make all his golden dreams come true. But that dang earthquake interrupted everything--and he had just time to grab his hat and head for the door like you're supposed to do when...well, he and the door dropped, and here he was, the next thing he knew. It was Tacoma, but it wasn't Tacoma.
No people! Or just a handful, that is--the ones that hung out at Kelly's old watering hole.
He reached the dome finally, which sat on what looked like a set of big metal teeth.
At last Ero could sit and take the view. "What mountain is that?" he wondered idly. It overshadowed the whole view, and the city was a small spot on its side, seemingly, seen from his unobstructed vantage point.
The mountain was so close, it seemed he could touch it. Rising to his feet, just to amuse himself he reached out, and drew his hand back as if he had been bitten. His eyes widened. He had touched the mountain! He knew he had done it. But how?
"
Now picture this, ladies and gentlemen! These two nuns are being molested..." he always began, for it was the same string of jokes night after night after night.
Her wobbling voice somehow missing every note at which she aimed, she finished the first stanza of "When the Red, Red Robin comes bob-bob-bobbin' along...along!" Then another stanza
followed, and another! Ero's head was spinning with all the bobbin', bobbin', and bobbin' of the lyrics, when she switched to a second number, "Show Me the Way to Go Home." The moment she started that, a man sitting with his hands over his mouth as he gaped at her with bulging, soulful eyes, burst out bawling, "It's too late! Too late!"
Interested, drawn to them despite his desire to get back aboard the White Ship, he
gave in and went over to the porch where they stood, unwavering eyes fixed on him.
Put at ease by her kind manner, Ero nodded. "What do you have here, a hotel or boarding house?"
"No, it is a Christian mission, but as a seafarer you are most welcome to stay and rest until your ship departs. Please do come in! We will try to make it at least half as comfortable for you as you have it back in your home country."
When he awoke, he found Mrs. Funnemark sitting by him in a chair, working on some kind of knitting in her wicker basket. She saw he was awake, and then put the basket down on the highly polished, fir-planked floor.
Ero did not like such questions, but they made him think, and Greeks
like to think even more than sailing a good ship over the sea.
"What do you mean by 'World," and what is 'Flesh'?" he asked, just like a Greek.
Oct. 19--"This is Jack London, seaman, able and ready for anything, come hell or high water. Shipped in Dashing Wave laid at Tacoma...Discovered that Mrs. and Miss Funnemark keep a Seamen's Rest on Carr St., Old Town. Paid them a visit & enjoyed myself immensely.
He was almost all the way down Carr Street, which turned into a Skid Road for the big logs that fed the mills on the waterfront, when a pop-up board caught him, buzzing off to one side of the road, on high grassy shoulder.
QUESTOR MUST RETURN TO THE SEAMEN'S REST HOUSE, AND SIGN THE GUESTBOOK. YOU MUST ALSO RETURN THE DIARY YOU THREW AWAY. PRESS SPACEBAR ONCE IF YOU UNDERSTAND INSTRUCTIONS. OTHERWISE, PRESS THE HELP BUTTON FOR FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS, MAP OF THE AREA, AND ROAD DIRECTIONS. IF THESE ARE INSUFFICIENT TO GUIDE YOU, CHOOSE ANY BOT ON THE SIDEBAR, AND IT WILL LEAD YOU TO THE HOUSE.
The almost deafening, microphonish crackle and buzz of the pop-up board would not quit until he hit the spacebar at the bottom of the screen. He hit it twice, and a bell sounded, and a deep voice almost shouted him off his feet, "THREE STRIKES AND YOU'RE OUT! QUESTOR WILL COMPLY WITH INSTRUCTIONS OR START THE QUEST AGAIN AT THE BEGINNING. CHOOSE ANY BOT--WALKING FISH, JUMPING JELLY BEAN, ROLLING POTATO...IF YOU CANNOT FIND THE HOUSE ON YOUR OWN."
Wally had done an excellent job programming the Quest from start to finish, and all the details too showed his amazing foresight.
Not only were Ero's feet as tough as leather, which made shoes unnecessary, but he did not feel cold and could run about like any Olympic torch bearer back in warm and sunny Greece. Yet even Wally had not anticipated everything. Returning to Seamen's Rest was now past the time of the time frame allotted to the Funnemarks.
It was startled for a few moments and clammed up, but as he waited, it slowly began singing again, "When the Red Red Robbin Comes Bob-Bob-Bobbin' Along!"
Brun O'Kele, the Hawaiian chief, has his own coastline, without a
single condo or hotel to spoil the view, ever since a world-wide tsunami and other terra-forming events completely changed the landscape of his native islands.
An Atlantean ship searches for a pair of humans in the Hawaiian islands they can use to
repopulate South America.
Having searched most of the islands, the Atlantean ship finally finds what it has come for--a lone
male human out fishing for his dinner.
One moment Brun's sailing along in a good breeze that will take him
beyond the reef where the big fish are snatching at the smaller reef fish, the next moment he is being dragged into the air--his arms and legs flailing helplessly
like some tentacled creature he has caught with his gaff.
Swallowed by a mouth set in the belly of the big flying ray fish, Brun finds himself in
a cage. He overturns it, trying to get out. The room darkens, and he cannot see
where he is--and he subsides, realizing it is useless to struggle--but determined
to kill anything or anyone the moment he has a chance to see what he is doing.
How long he has been a captive, he has little time to estimate, as the light blazes, blinding him, and then he hears waves washing beneath the room. Suddenly, the cage door pops open, and Brun wastes no time in departing. Without having to think, he leaps through the mouth of the flying ray fish.
Before he can heave rocks at the flying ray fish, it vanishes, leaving him back on the shore of his island. But as he looka around, it seems different somehow from his native island. The colors are different, and the scents are not the same. A horror comes over him, and he staggers toward
some rocks and climbs up, just to steady himself. Where is he? His mind reels at the thought he has been taken to an unknown land and set free.
It dawns on him.
No fish had a belly like the one he had been in. It was not flesh. It was not wood nor stone. It was hard, but smoother than any stone--like the hard and sharp-cutting black glass the smoking mountains made. And it had captured him and released him in a strange and alien land!
He stopped climbing, and then he saw it was not a sea, though it was
large and bigger than any lake he had known--and the strange color--too dark to be crystal clear and brilliant waters of his own land. Where was he? Would he ever be able to sail back to his home? he wondered, his heart pounding like heavy surf and feeling like it might stop beating.
His feelings for his lost homeland aside, Adam is available, but now where is Eve?
