First of all I would like to say Hi! to everyone and also I would like to greet all of the new people who have signed onto this site. I am happy to see that some of you have been following the story.

Now how can I make this adventure scary because after all You have to be really evil to be imprisoned on the Dark Planet. At this time Malika has talked Ibrahm into going to the Dark solar system with her. At the time they are outside of the cave that has the transportor inside and they want to bypass the two Centenals that guard this place. The men seem to be lackadaisical about the seriousness of the Druids. These two men are younger than the men who actually fought with the Druids long ago on the Planet of Obla. ( I hope I remembered that right. Malika and Ibrahm have prepared to disappear into the chamber of the transportor room. This part was easy to do but they know that as soon as they set the transportor to take them to the Dark Solar System the two men will at that point know that someone has used the transportor and left the planet. The Centanls will not understand how anyone got by them and used the transportor. The two Centenals will think this has been a malfunction. Little do they know that Malika and Ibraham are on their way.

The reason that Malika and Ibraham decided to use the tranportor is because the The Dark System is very far and they did not want to take the cahnce of materializing on some other Planet they do not know of. Also one must be very careful not to land on one of the many stars since they are very hot and they would be destroyed. Only Ishtar can send people to a star for destruction. She would like to send Bruckos to the Star of Mafic and eliminate him forever. Ishtar realizes that another would take his place thought. She realizes this is part of the battle of life and death. Bruckos is not aware of the Witch or the Warlord and their powers though but he knows that something has happened since he has been here on the Dark Planet. Sometime the guards do talk to him. He is totally Evil and the guards know this.:eek.

The Centenals decide that they better report to Ahmed and report the incident to see if anyone is missing. They radio to Ahmed on the phone and tell him he better come to the cave. Ahmed decides to immediately materialize in the cave and speak to the men. He knows that someone has transported to the Dark Solar System and he wants to know who this is. He then calls for Ishtar and tells her she better join him in the cave as soon as she can. He first wants her to find Malika and Ibraham and make sure they are safe. Ishtar trys to contact Ibraham on the radio phone to find out their location. Ibraham does not answer Ishtar.

Malika and Ibraham have succesfully been transported to the Dark Solar System. They are in the labrynth in the outer area of the Solar System and they can see the Dark Planet through the windows. The labrynth is built so that all one can do is wander around the outer perimiters of the enclosed Solar System. It is very dark in this plac but there are laterns on the walls along the way. The light is muted. Outside there are no stars and it is very cold. The problem with materialzing on the planet is that the entrance is on one side of the planet and if a person materializes on the wrong side it is extremly cold. There are some volcanoes on this Dark Planet called Zergos . The volcanoes help to keep the Planet with some warmth.

What to do? Malika and Ibrahm decide to wander around the labyrnth for awhie but they mus keep track of the transportation site so that they will be able to return to Carpathia. Little do they know but the labrynth is constructed with a shifting mechanism which causes the labrynth to change every so often. This causes the transportation site to be moved every so often.

By now Ahmed and Ishtar are in the cave with the monitor and Ahmed has traced Ibraham and Malika to the Labrynth on Zergos. Ahmed is really furious about this adventure. He can see that Malika is lighted in the labrynth but she has to recharge every so often. Ahmed has decdied to notify the Centenal within the Dark Planet to keep alert about Ibraham and Malika and track their where abouts. And so Ahmed decides that he and Ishtar will have to transport there also and bring them back. The problem with this is that Ahmed will have to leave his men to wait for his return. He decides to put Karif in charge while they are gone. And so Ahmed makes his plans for the Journey.

[WitchQueen]

Ibrahm and Malika, the Nymph Fairy have been wandering around in the Dark Solar System labrynth for hours now and they are totally confused. They kept track of all the turns they made but they just cannot seem to find their way back to the transportation site in the labrynth. ahmed and Ishtar have been watching them on the monitor in the Main Castle located on Carpathia. Ahmed has decided they have been frightened enough. He tells Ishtar he has decided to send the two of them back to their Palace on Xanthia.

Ahmed has been very angry about this adventure Ibraham and Malika decided to take. Ibraham tried to use his radio phone but to no avail. The distance is too great to reach Ahmed. Right around this time Ibraham sees that there is a radio phone on the wall of the labrynth but just as he goes to use it the labrynth shifts again and the phone disappears into the wall. It is at this point that Ahmed puts a lock on Ibraham and transports him back to Xanthia. After that he puts a lock on Malika and also sends her back to the Palace. Ibrahm and Malika are surprised to see that they are suddenly in the attic room of the Palace. They realise this must be the work of Ahmed and that he is probably upset with them. Suddenly the phone rings. They are very sophisticated phones. Ahmed tells Ibraham that he is to stay on Xanthia until his return so that they can plan their trip to Kruata. He tells Ibraham he does not want to have to send him to the Concubine Palace. With that he abruptly turns off the phone. Ibraham tells Malika it is beat if they listen because Father is upset and we could have wandered around the labryrinth forever with out Ahmed's help.

Back on Carpathia, Ahmed has set up all of the security and all of the caves to the labrynth are guarded. All of the men have weapons.Ahmed tells the men to make sure they guard the monitor. "Well guard everything here. It is a condition of being in this section of the Galaxy.

That night Ahmed and Ishtar stay in the Castle of Gardenias so that they can be alone for awhile and forget all of this trouble. In the morning they are up very early. Ahmed tells Ishtar to prepare to go to the Dark Planet so that they can confront Bruckos and that Ishtar can see for herself what to expect. Ahmed decides to take Karif and his other two men with him. (Well they are supposed to be Pharess, Razrif and Freemoncy but they want out and I forgot the names of the other two men) This is it. Ahmed and Ishtar will transport first and then they will transport for the other three men. They decide to go direstly to the Dark Planet where the cells are. The cells are made of the strongest alloy in the Universe.

The time has come to make the journey. Ahmed tells Ishtar he will keep a fix on her to help guide her to the Planet. Ahmed goes first. In a second he is gone. When he materializes in the Entranceway to the prison, He speaks to the Centinal in charge. Ahmed has radioed ahead that they are coming. Ahmed's radio phone is the most powerful there is.

Bruckos senses that Ahmed is on the Planet. He also sensed the boy in the Labrynth. The other Druids that are imprisoned also are aware of Ahmed and the boy. They do not know about the Witch yet. If Ahmed or Ishtar are bitten by a Druid, they will materialize to another planet so that they will be able to recouperate. Ibraham has powers but Ahmed does not know yet if he can be immortal like him. His young son Abdul is also like Ibraham.

It is now time for Ishtar to transport herself to the prison. Ahmed has radioed to her to come. Ishtar also has a powerful phone. It takes time to make things on Xanthia as tools must be invented and the work is done by hand. I shall remind you that it is the seventh century a.d. Bruckos is also a time traveler and the key to keeping him capturered has been difficult. He causes wars, famine and corruption also other plagues.

Ahmed wants him done for once and for all. But the only way that can be done is to pierce his heart with The Sword and then send the body to the hottest star of Majik? where he will discentagrate on be gone forever.

Ishtar has arrived to Zergos and appears in the Entrance room where Ahmed awaits for her. She is wearing her black cape with the hood and her Bendictine Crucifix. She believes they need all the help they can get. She has been saying many prayers to ward off Evil. She hopes that Allah has heard her.

Xanthia is run by two Councils. and Ahmed is in caharge of the men on the continent of Oman. There is another War Lord in charge of the continent of Krua. I will continue next week.

Ahmed and Ishtar have been talking while they are in the waiting room of the prison. Ahmed explains to Ishtar that Bruckos has the power to hypnotise if you are to look directly at him. This will make the battle all the more difficult for us. Around this time Ahmed transports Karif, Amman and Freemoncy to the holding area. The Centenal in charge is Akbar. There are about thirty Centanels guarding the dungeon. As I have told you earlier the Centenal are from the planet of Oblika (I changed it from Obla. That did not sound quite right.) The survivors from the planet of Oblika became immune to the plague Bruckos had sent before they attacked.

Also all of those on Xanthia who have come to the afterlife are immune from plagues. But not the people of Quetta. Or the white people who came to the Planet of Carpathia to farm and guard the rare Dragons that dwell there. These white people wanted to protect rare creatures too, so they volunteered to come to Carpathia. They pretty much keep to themselves but they do what Ahmed asks of them.

The invasion of the Druids was told to Ahmed early on when he first arrived on Xanthia. So that Ahmed has been on his guard ever since.

Now it is time for Ahmed, Ishtar and his men to godown to the dungeon to check on the prisoners. Ahmed has warned all of them not to go to close to the cells of the prisoners. And of course he has also told the men how Bruckos has the power to hypnotise and catch you off guard. As the five of them descend the dark staircase to the dungeon they can hear terrible growling. Bruckos gained control of all the prisoners soon after they arrived to the dungeon. Of course he hypnotised them and filled them with hate.j

Now Ahmed, Ishtar and the men have reached the lower corridor that leads to the cells. Bruckos is enraged with Ahmed since Bruckos knows that Ahmed has prepared for a battle. Ahmed knows that he must always be prepared in case they decide to strike. Ahmed holds onto Ishtar's arm so that he can keep her near to him.

Bruckos is located in the center cell on the right and in each of the other two cells on either side of him are the other four Druids. The four of them are Bruckos's top men. If you can call them that. On the left side of the corridor are the other five prisoners. They were caught when Bruckos and the other Druids were caught. These five men were fools for being talked into helping the Druids.

Bruckos is trying to break out of the cage and Ahmed sees that he has bent the bars some. This is upsetting to Ahmed. Bruckos calms down some when he sees Ishtar. He asks, "And who is this may I ask?" All the while he is trying to hypnotise any one he can especially Ishtar. Ishtar remains on her guard and she tries to avoid Bruckos or stay to the side somewhat. The other Druids are all in their demonic state. Well Bruckos is always in his demonic state. The five men are taking all of this in. They have been severely brainwashed. After they have seen all of the prisoners they take their leave and head back to the twisting staircase that leads back to the holding area.
Once upstairs Ahmed warns them again that the Druids go for the throart and destroy the spirit. Now Ahmed warns Albar about the bar that has been bent. "Akbar please be careful and also keep an eye on the bars." "Alright Ahmed, we make sure we are very careful here and we do have the monitor of the cells." Ahmed tells Akbar, "It is time for us to depart for now. Soon your shift will be over and you will be able to go home for awhile. I thank you for being here along with the other men."

With that Ahmed sends the other three men back to Xanthia. Ahmed tells Ishtar " leave now also and go home to the Palace. When I return to Xanthia I will call you from the training camp. I must check in with the Council and also make sure that all areas are secure." Ahmed kisses Ishtar on the cheek and tells her to depart.

Ibraham has been staying at the Palace and the Nymph Fairy comes and goes. She checks on the Watanis for Ibraham and lets him know how Cuoto and the other boys are doing. Malika, the Fairy checks out all things with Cuoto. She is a messenger now as she is able to travel secretly with out notice. You see the boy, the Watanis and the Fairy are making their own defenses. Ibraham, and the Nymph Fairy have learned a lot about the Druids from the Watanis. Sometime the old man goes into the Rain Forset and speaks with the Watanis, especially Chief (forgot his name) Maboto? ( I think ist is Maboto.)

So far the Watanis have dug traps and covered them with branches from some of the trees. They have also been milking the venom from the sun snkes they catch and they have also been makin poison from the seeds of the (forgot the name) plant.

Ishtar has now transported herseld to the attic room of the Palace. She has lost track of the days some because she was in the labyrinth on Carpathia and then she was on the Dark Planet with Ahmed. Now it was just dusk and it was so sweet to see the stars starting to appear. Ishtar was very happy to be home again. She looked around the room and studied the books. Her interest was with the book of potions and medicinal formulas. Right around this time Ahmed called her to let her know that he was at the training camp calling the Council together for a meeting. "Ishtar I look forward to coming home. Is Ibraham home?" Ishtar replies, " I have not had a chance to check yet, Ahmed. I am still in the attic room." Ahmed tells Ishtar to have him call when she finds out where he is.

Ishtar takes the book with her downstairs and she looks for Ibraham. He has left her a note and tells her he is with Couto and the Watanis.Ishtar decides to call him. "Ibraham, I just wanted you to know we are home and I think it best if you call your father. He is at the training camp in Najat." "Alright, Ishtar but first how did everything go?" "Well Bruckos and the Druids are evil. Bruckos has the power to hypnotise so make sure you tell all of the Watani tribes and tell Malika also". Ibraham tells Ishtar he will do what she says and thanks her for the information.

I messed up. I thought I could not log on so I went to Moroccodiscussions.com with the next part of the story. I am upset about this. So if you want to know the next part you better go check it out there. I do not have much time left at the Library so I will have to wait until next time to try to rewrite what I wrote today.

It is almost time for Ramadan on Xanthia because as you recall Ahmed and Ishtar were married in October. Hi to all.

Ishtar realizes that the temperature has dropped and it has become windy now. The night is crystal clear and the stars are brilliant. It is the night of the full moon and there are a few fluffy white clouds. The moon peaks in and out of the clouds. Ishtar realizes that she did not let Tartufe back into the Palace. Now she dons her cloth slippers and puts on her white robe. When she gets downstairs she can hear Tartufe meowing at the door. Once inside he is happy again and after a drink of water he crawls into his bed under the table in the entranceway. He is like a guard.

Ishtar heads upstairs now and she will wait for Ahmed's return.

After returning from Zergos, Ahmed appeared at the training camp in Najat. He sends Sidi and Brahimi to tell Cassem to bring his horse to the camp. Ishtar will be alone then but the patrols will be out and will keep check on the Palace while Ahmed is gone. Sidi and Brahimi are on night patrol anyway.

While Ahmed is waiting for Cassem to bring his horse, Arabia to the camp he is having a meeting with Omar. Omar has been in charge since Ahmed had been away. They are discussing the manuvers of the men. They will both be going to (Capital either Kimpala or Masra. I forgot which one is the capital) The council will be called to meeting so that they can all see how the security measures are going. Cassem has already contacted all of the members of the Council. "We must be prepared", says Ahmed." Bruckos is evil and he has already bent the bar some in the prison." Omar agrees and at this time Cassem has arrived with Arabia. Ahmed tells Cassem he would like him to keep watch at the Palace. He also tells him that the patrols are out with Sidi and Brahimi in charge.

Ahmed decides to pray that he will be able to make wise decisions about this.
Outside he kicks up the wind and changes the temperature in the region. He wants Ishtar to be waiting for him on his re turn. Right now the time is seven o' clock and it is time to go to Masra.

The journey takes about forty five minutes and the Council is assembled in the city meeting room. Some of the council men are Sheiks. Ahmed himself is a Sheik. He is of the tribe of ?? He is also a member of the Council in charge of the Army. He also oversees the shipping of some of the Plants and the rare animals that go out to other Planets.

Now it is time for the meeting to start. Ahmed is to speak. He tells of the encounter with Bruckos and explains that Bruckos has bent the bar which is ab exceptionally strong alloy. He goes on to say that the Druids on Argos are looking for portholes that lead to other planets. So far they have not yet discovered any of them but they are exploring meticulously to find them.

Quetta is pretty secure but the Quettans are mortals and they could either get sick or just die and not come back. They will need help. We are immune from the plague and so are the surviving Oblikans. They are willing to fight this if it becomes necessary.

Kruata must be prepared just in case. This means i must make a journey to there and talk with Anachist, the War Lord. I will also speak with the Council on Kruata. I will also speak with the Africans and try to help them out.

We have been making bullets overtime and the gunsmiths have made more weapons. Also the men must have swords and practice. All of the city streets must be blocked off as well as the villages. The farmers should really come to the villages. I am increasing the radios being made. All ships must have a radio as well as the training camps, the police stations, the ophanages, so should all of you Council men. That way if a call comes in all rodios will pick up the message. All phones will be able to call the radio sets. This must be done quickly.

That's about it for now. Then the meeting continued until two o'clock with questions.

Now Ahmed was tired and ready to go home. The ride home was slower than the ride out. They wanted to rest the horse. Omar went back to the training camp as it was his watch and Ahmed and Cassem rode back to the Palace. Cassem told Ahmed he would take care of the horse and he should get some rest.

Ishtar had been dozing but not really. She missed Ahmed and she wanted him to be home. She heard the door in the entranceway and was happy. Ahmed just wanted to get cleaned up and be under the covers with Ishtar.. It was about three o'clock now. Ishtar heard Ahmed come into the room. She was really happy now. "Are you awake, Ishtar" She replied " I am awake Ahmed. I have been waitin for you..Come to bed. It is warm here." " Ishtar it is time to be with you." With that Ahmed got under the covers to be with his wife.

Ishtar and Ahmed are sleeping now for awhile. Now it is raining and windy and the morning is still dark.

I will speak of the Old Man. He is one of the Ancients who travel around the Universe and build things of interest. They are the ones who built the cities on Xanthia. Both on Oman and Kruata. They do this in case people of the afterlife come or visitors from other places. Menske is one of them. He volunteered to stay and wait for the new people to come. He made friends with the Watanis who were already there. The Watani tribes are very old. When Ahmed arrived to the planet the Old Man knew he would be coming. He taught Ahmed many things about the planet and he explained to Ahmed that he was to be the one to take care of everything with his men here on Xanthia,Carpathia and to work with the Oblikans and the Quettans. He also explained about the Dark Solar System and Bruckos.

Bruckos is imprisoned. He was captured by the Oblikans after he tried to distroy the planet. The Druids found a porthole that lead to Oblikan and this is how the battle began. The Druids invented a plague that they released there but some of the Oblikans became immune. The Oblikans used a seditive from the large red spider. The seditive is very potent. Then the Oblikan Centenal transported Bruckos to the dungeon on the planet of Zergos or better known as the Dark Planet. Bruckos is chained at the feet but he can still roam about his cell. He is to be tried on Oblikan and it will be overseen by the judge Zarkof. At the time though Bruckaos is enraged in his cell and continually prowls around looking for a weak spot. Akbar keeps a close watch on him. Even though Bruckos was heavily sedated for the journey to Zergos he silently kept track of the journey.

The Old Man is somewhat of a phrophet and Ahmed does meet with him when he can. The Old Man is already living the year 1500 of his life.

Croissa as you remember is in charge of the Orphnages and the children often play soccer. This is an easy game to design and some of the men also play this game. It is quite popular on Xanthia. They also play cricket and they have also the horse racing. Quettans have horse racing and some times some of the horses are competed against each other. Casawiya helps Croissa with the children and teaches art at one of the Orphanages.

Ahmed is now up. He decides to let the rain continue. He wants a fire in the fire place to take the chill off the Palace. Ishtar is now too. She freshens herself and makes the bed. She snuffs out the candles in the crystal bowl on the dresser and goes down to see what Ahmed is doing.

Ishtar goes down and she greets Ahmed. She can already feel the heat of the fire. Tartufe is waiting for his food and Ishtar gets it ready for him. He is such a sweet kitten. Ishtar washes her hands and prepares breakfast for Ahmed and herself. They are having oatmeal, juice and coffee. Now they must talk. "Ishtar you know I have to go to Kruata and I think it is best that you stay here. Menske has warned of the Druids again and Bruckos will be going to trial. I will be traveling on the ship Orion with some of my men. If anything happens you are to go and find Ibraham and stay with the Watanis. Ibraham has powers and I want him to practice with you. If anything happens and you have time take the children from the orphnages to the Rain Forest and try to hide. Omars wife Salma can help you. She is a director at the theatre and she assists Adonis with the shows. I am having Omar and Salma come to dinner so that the two of you can talk. Do you have any questions?" "Please be careful and I will help in any way I can. Ahmed I would like to ask you something though. You see I saw all of the orphans and I was wondering if we could bring a few of them here to live with us. They would not be any trouble and I could teach them things. We have plenty of room here. They do not all have to be little children. What do you think?" Ahmed thinks about this for a few moments and then he answers," Alright Ishtar if you think you can handle them I will allow it. How many did you have in mind?" She anwers, " Five Ahmed. Three teens like Ibraham and two younger. Maybe three years old. I can always have help if we have to go somewhere or do something. The teens could be two boys and a girl and the younger ones could be girls or boys. I like them and I feel bad that they had to leave their families back on the Earth. Thank you Ahmed. They won't be any trouble. It will be hard to decide which ones though but what can we do?" Ahmed is happy about this. He thinks it is a good idea and Ishtar will have some company to play with. At least for now.

Ahmed and Ishtar finish their breakfast and Neeta and Moara have arrived to tidy up the Palace and keep Ishtar company. Ishtar walks Ahmed to the entranceway door and he now takes his leave. He kisses Ishtar on the cheek and now he departs. Cassem has his horse waiting for him. Ahmed tells Cassem to keep a sharp lookout. "I'll take care of everything for you Ahmed." And now Ahmed rides off.
