THE EVIL EYES OF WEDJAT AND HORUS ARE BECKONING EVIL ONCE MORE
THEIR POWERS TOGETHER WILL BE GREATER THAN
BEFORE
THE SEEING EYES WILL RETURN TO THEIR ORIGINATOR
THIS WILL AWAKEN THE NEITHER WORLD CREATOR
THE CHILD- KING HAS ARISEN AND MUST NOW RECLAIM HIS THRONE
HE MUST FACE HIS DESTINY ALONE
GO NOW TO THE VALLEY OF THE KINGS
AS YOU SEEK TO RELEASE YOUR FUTURE QUEEN
PASS INTO THE BELLY OF THE BEAST
DURING THE DARKNESS OF THE CELESTIAL MOON
IT IS THERE WHERE YOU WILL FIND THE COURAGE TO BE ALONE
FOR IT IS THERE THAT YOU WILL FIND
THE ANSWERS THAT YOU SEEK
The pen of Jupiter Angel Satquiel when dark as it lowered, back into the recesses of the book.
The Good Book of Thebes closed once more.
Louis placed one hand into his shirt at the collar; grasping for the magic bell hanging around his neck: the bell that Charlie had given him so long ago in his stall; the bell that Petar had once risked his life to steal.
"Is this bell, the key to all of this?" asked an emotional Louis of himself "I must now go to the Valley of the Kings and answer my destiny!"
As the book closed, a collective gasp was heard about the barn. Charlie fluttered his massive wings a few times, to clear his thoughts.
As everyone looked about for answers, Louis spoke out with firmness in his voice, "Mr. Beamer?I mean?Tut-ankh-Amon?What is the Neither World? Where are the Valley of the Kings and what about this belly of the beast stuff? I've got some work to do. And oh yeah what is this about a...future queen?"
"Ozymandias, well the Good Book certainly did raise quite a few questions. We will have time to discuss all of this, in the next few days as we prepare to leave, but I will tell you that the Valley of the Kings lays in ancient Egypt, it is my birthplace. I know it well. We will go back to the "Middle-Kingdom", to the time of great men and gods.
"We prepare to leave?we...?" asked a befuddled Louis.
"We will travel together you and me, for I shall show you the way."
"You mean, Tut?ah?I mean?Mr. Beamer?you will go with me?"
"I certainly will as will Charlie and his son, Junior."
"W-hat? You mean we all will go together? Isn't Junior at the North Pole?"
"No I am here Ozymandias. I am here Master," said Junior as he stepped out of the far shadows of the barn, and into the light of the gas-lamp, next to his father: Charlie."
Junior stretched out his magnificent wings, then bowed his head in respect to Louis...HIS MASTER.
"Wow Charlie, look at Junior. He's got wings just like you!" proclaimed Louis as he approached Junior with his arms outstretched.
He gave Junior a warm embrace.
"It's nice to see you again, old friend."
"Yes we will all help you Louis the Red. For you see it is our calling, as well as yours. We knew that someday, this day would come. Louis for over three-thousand years we have been waiting for your return, it was written long ago by Jupiter Angel Satquiel, and placed in the Good Book of Thebes. It was written," said Charlie.
"Louis the Red"?gulped.
"So be it, then. We must start preparing for our trip. In two days from now we will fly towards the east with our Arions, for that is what they were bred for, they are our servants. They were bred to serve good and to fight the evil that lies in evil men's and beast's hearts.
Louis, use your last few days here in Centerville to be with your family and friends for, you may not see them again for a long time, for we shall be traveling to the farthest parts of the world.
We will again call on all of our strength, and courage to overcome the dark side of man, and all things unworldly," said Tut-ankh-Amon.
Baron Von Beck, Mr. Belvedere, the two other Arions, Doc Wellman, and the other Ancients all came forward to give Louis words of encouragement and support.
"My Louis, I'm so proud of you," said Hattie May as she wrapped her motherly arms around him.
"Me as well Louis, we are both so very, very proud of you" included Jeremy as he to stepped, forward to embrace his son.
Louis blushed. His freckles grew a brighter shade of red.
Unexpectedly a low, deep rumble rose from the bottom of the earth, it could be heard racing across the depths of Centerville Valley. The earth began to quickly roll and shake violently beneath their feet, sending all scrambling for cover. Two loud thunderbolts crackled out from above, even though the skies were bright blue above, even without as much as a cloud in the sky.
The violent shaking seemed to go on for eternity.
Hay and dust rained down upon them from the hayloft above. The gas-lamp blew out from a wicked and malevolent wind that blew in from the south.
The barn went dark.
Jeremy called out, "Louis, Hattie May, hold on tight, I am here. Do not be afraid."
Louis tightened his grip around his mom, grabbing her around the waist. Jeremy placed his arms around the both of them, to comfort and protect them the best he could. Louis reached deep into his shirt once more searching for comfort, finding the locket that Santa Claus had given him on Christmas Eve two years ago.
As the violent shaking finally subsided, all grew deathly quiet.
Mr. Beamer lit the gas-lamp once more.
The faint light thrown about the room lit the faces of everyone; fear showed in the eyes, of everyone present.
Louis's eyeballs were still shaking in his head when he rhetorically asked.
"Has it truly begun?"
"It has truly begun! As foretold, so long ago" added Tut-ankh-Amon.
