CHAPTER ONE
Attack of the Moon Eaters
Dusk crawled over the Kingdom , while a gibbous moon gave rise to a new night, not just any night you see , but one full of evil and of horror and of blood and slaughter. Snow was falling in a furious fashion against a sky raven black, with leprous grey clouds blanketed about, above them sporadic flashes of silver, silently burst as well as a frightening sound off in the distance that hummed like the tires of a roaming Hearse. Being, that the sound drew closer and closer its frightfulness turned into dreadfulness. A very distinct drone it was, one in which caused the hearts of the many warrior knights scattered along the frozen pallid forest floor to pound in their throats. Moon Eaters! dozens of them, were racing towards the Kingdome of Sperenza, their enormous wings beating the air, causing a reverberation resembling echoing explosions, as sparks erupted from there nostrils all the while groaning that sound , a deep haunting bellow, equal to one million cellos being bowed in a double octave note of e, over and over and over , steadily . Moon Eater dragons live in nodes located in celestial spheres, that when the moon is tilted on the plane of the ecliptic it has an inclination of about five degrees. As the Sun orbits on its own ecliptic and the moon in its own orbit is inclined on the ecliptic and the two heavenly bodies line up with one more body, Earth, an eclipse is formed, unlocking the gates of the nodes thus releasing the Moon Eaters to feed . The delicacy which has the Dragons in such a feeding fury is the pure untainted blood of the young virgins that live in the Kingdome, but in order to infiltrate the Kingdome and feast on its virgins the moon eaters must first drink from Lake Chandra. A mysterious lake, hidden deep within the forest, The Warrior Knights knowing of this ritual wait in silence, armed to the teeth seated on horseback, hidden behind monstrous snowcapped trees and like crouching panthers with heated breath about to attack they surround the perimeter of the biting ice-covered lake in the offing to unleash their wrath upon the intruding beast. The waters of Lake Chandra are believed to be the many tears cried by the queen of the moon eaters (Chandra) who was captured, tortured by starvation and destroyed by a legendary warrior knight known as Dima, many many years ago. His legacy lives on through his only great grandson (Nassor) leader of the warrior knights of Sperenza and father to a special little girl named Lily. Nassor, a brave Knight in his own rite , gives the order to his legion of fellow warriors to be on the ready by raising his awe inspiring scimitar shaped sword as he is seated upon his intimidating black stallion, while in the midst of his armor shinning in a moon beam with force. Now, at the same time, Rahu, leader of the dragons draws closer to earth, racing down in a chariot of darkness drawn by eight flying black horses with his fearless flock soaring like fighter jets on the warpath behind him. The gang of Moon Eater dragons seize the forest floor like a meteorite crashing to the ground and circle Lake Chandra. Rahu knows the warrior knights lie in wait, ready to attack, and he searches his surroundings for any movement within the trees, just with his ill willed red glowing eyes and does not see anything. But he knows, with all his cold, calculated blood he and his beastly brothers are being hunted. For this is not Rahu's first time at the legendary lake, the same lake his Grandmother, queen of the Moon Eaters was destroyed. With a long horrifying roar and four short grunts, in a language only dragons understand Rahu gives the order to his militia of monsters to drink from the ice covered lake and give respects to their fallen queen. At this point, the dragons lap at the ice with their hot forked tongues causing a velvet like vapor to form above the languid lake. As the chilled water flowed down the dragons throats it placed those moon eaters in a spell, making them unaware of anything, for only but twenty seconds, but enough time for Nassor and his choked with anxiety warrior knights to wallop those abominable aliens. Next and all at once, with earthquake like effects the Warrior Knights charge, their armor ringing and banging and in a unnerving unison, shout the words, Kill ‘EM All ! KILL ‘EM ALL. Pandemonium detonated as the warrior knights emerged out of the darkness, on horseback they stormed and in the heart of thundering gallops, wild snorts and noble neighs announcing the attack, mighty halberds slashed at dragon skin and fiery arrows sailed through the snowy black night while many beams of red light penetrated through that velvet like haze that coated the lake. These were beams from lethal lasers shot from warrior knights carrying Solid State Ray Cannons (SSRC) that could obliterate steel and rock, but could only break through the first three layers of 7 of the thick protective skins of a moon eater dragon. It took multiple shots from a single SSRC to even slow a charging Moon Eater, but the warriors, experienced in many battles with dragons have uncovered that the beams of two SSRC cannons fixated on an opening of skin where scales were missing for only three seconds would destroy its target transforming it into thousands of many blood-spattered pieces . Laser beams ricochet throughout the battlefield, slicing the air like a scalpel. Several Moon Eater dragons where struck down dead by the sneak attack but after the effects of their enchanting drink wore off the slaughter fest was a on. Dragons leaped into the sky in an aerial attack spitting fire bolts from their mouths down onto the forest, burning Knights and the armor they wore into a mangle of stinking flesh and melted metal their painful screams like the howling of vampires burned in a sunrise.. Arrows made of sleek steel with grenade tips rocketed from rapid nitro crossbows, shrieked towards their targets. Some where a direct hit causing the victimized moon eater to implode, hurling guts, brains and all sorts of massacred innards into the action packed death theater. Every where one on one brawls between Moon Eater and Warrior was taking place, reminiscent of a demonic ballet choreographed by 666 himself. The exchange of rage was so evilly beautiful. Fighting tactics of the sword wheeling warrior knight were as elegant as the Samurai and the poetic fury of the moon eater dragon like a great white shark zeroing in on its prey, would snap its tail like a whip with dead on accuracy flinging knights like toys into the trunks of giant oaks bashing their bodies to smithereens. The snow covered forest floor blushed red with the blood from enemy and avenger, as nothing could stand in the way of either sides mission. Hell bent on eating virgins under the silvery moon, dragons escalated their fury, while at the same time Knights , like battle maniacs let loose a wrath of their own as the killing was done with eagerness and passion from both animal and man. No end was in sight, in fact the attack of the moon eaters was a epic battle that had only one ending for victory. While the fierce skirmish between Knight and dragon continued and losses on each side mounted, Rahu sat on the edge of a cliff with a fixed stare at Nassor, who, on the other side and with a defiant stare of his own looked back was seated proudly on his intimidating black stallion , its mane flowing in wind, just like his masters crimson colored cape . Clouds glided passed the full moon letting its shimmering radiance shine down onto the duel of death stares, Nassor's armor glistened and flashed as Rahu's black sleek body and wings had an afterglow about them. They both understood what had to be done, they both understood the code. The fearless leaders gave their surviving soldiers a signal to cease the encounter and as Rahu stood high on his long human like hind legs and bat like wings spread wide, he growled , groaned and shot fire from his mouth , aiming at the stratosphere Nassor’s stallion raised high on his hind legs neighing like an angry demon while Nassor heaved up his mighty sword to the heavens forcing a rumble of thunder to roll over the forest . The murderous song and dance rapidly ended and as dragon and warrior lifted their heads to their leaders above them the forest went silent. All eyes were focused keenly on Rahu and Nassor, every single beast and man knew what was going to take place, that one of them would be sacrificed. If a knight is to perish, then the moon eaters advance to their long awaited meal, and if a dragon dies the moon eaters must retreat back to their nodes in the celestial spheres where some will succumb to starvation while the others wait for the next eclipse to fight the good fight once again. The one to make that decision, would be the keeper of lake Chandra, a sea monster named Chronic who lives deep within the murky waters of the lake . Chronics sole purpose is to decide the outcome of each and every battle fought between Knight and Moon Eater and to protect the sanctity of the lake. All wait, silence is rampant, so quiet in fact a hiss could be heard from the heavy mist that lays over the lake. Eye of dragon and of Knight slowly explore in dread who the sea monster will put to death . Without warning the forest floor begins to steadily shudder causing already anxious horses to trot over the moving earth. Both Rahu and Nassor stand proud, each on their cliffs as the ice over Lake Chandra begins to frantically crack and split . The wind that was calm began to wail, trees bent as though the very hand of God was upon them and the moon once far in the black sky now covered every square inch of the forest emitting an eerie electric blue glow . Evil was present and chills chased over both dragon and Knight , but as for Nassor who slowly shut the visor of his battle helmet and Rahu who dourly smiled revealing his saliva dripping fangs, their calmness was impressive , two warriors , with a mission simply waiting. Next, the shacking earth furiously rattled like a cornered snake, hail blasted from the heavens with jet like propulsion, while from beneath the water of lake Chandra a gargantuan skeleton like arm with just as an immense eagle like claw for a hand exploded out and up from the ice, and seemingly to have a mind of its own snatched Rahu , mighty leader of the moon eater dragons from off the cliff. Rahu struggled for his life and attempted to fight off the attack with all his fire breathing might just as the body attached to gargantuan arm and claw climbed out of the water . Behold, the sea monster, Chronic has arrived and the adjudicator has invoked her deadly decision ,while holding Rahu like trophy for all to see she then crammed every bit of him into her alligator like mouth and chewed him up very very slowly , cracking and breaking every bone of the powerful dragon then swallowing him down to the abyss of her gangrenous stomach where Rahu will simply melt into a bubbly pus. And so, as fast as the attack commenced it ended, with the lake calming the winds subsiding and the silvery moon retreating far into the night sky .The attack of the moon eaters has ended , at least until the next eclipse . The surviving dragons tear back to their home in the nodes leaving the Warrior Knights victorious and the virgins of the Kingdome of Sperenza safe from harm. Nassor once again raises his mighty sword in the midst of a sunrise giving the order for his valiant army to march back to the kingdom With boldness they obeyed .Bodies of the dead were draped over their own horses leaving a trail of blood behind. Mounted warrior knights held large light blue flags with the kingdom of sperenzas crest proudly waving in the sunlight and as the battle exhausted army approached the gates of the kings castle they were greeted by many cheers from the grateful citizens who lined the cobblestone street in appreciation . As Nassor passed by the jeering crowd he saw his son standing with his fist over his heart and tears in his eyes and when the boy noticed his father a smile grew on his handsome face , but nowhere in sight was Nassor’s wife (Muriel) and his daughter Lily . Nassor rode gallantly through the black iron gates , his face stoic , but his insides quaking with worry about his daughters ill health.

Knight Teaser : Pieces of chapter 5
The warrior doesn't care if he is called a beast or dog, the main thing is winning the battle and this battle between the Moon Eaters at Lake Chandra was a vicious one. Bloodied Knight parts and still beating Dragon hearts lay scattered upon the forest floor like damp leaves of Autumn. There were one on one clashes and quarrels amongst many but all in all it was a brutal war to the death. Many Moon Eater dragons were starving and like cornered tigers their ferocity was boiling as a volcano about to erupt. Nasser and Nidhug the newly crowned leader of the Moon Eaters were not just coaching their death strikers from high atop the cliffs but were engaged themselves in combat. That evening beneath a mystical moon an opiate vapor rose from the forest floor and lingered overtop the lake dewy and dim , rain did fall in a drowsily manner as lightning strobbed, enveloping all in a robotic, whirling, demonic death dance. The fantasy fog wrapped itself around Nasser , who was exhausted and realing in all of his adrenaline to defeat Nidhug,who himself was on his last legs . Both warriors knew the fight was in vein as only the one who sleeps and wakes in the depths of the lake is the decider of fate. Perpetually in a conscious slumber Chronic the keeper of Lake Chandra begins his slithery swim to the surface and like a sun beam reaming through a cloudy sky the dragon Chronic blast out of his black water grave. The wake he brings is a wrapping wave consuming some into it airless world, the dead could only groan within , remote , alone, sinking down , whirling in phantazms .......

The flight to the hospital from the palace was swift and before they knew it the family was seated before Dr.Chung. Muriel was holding Lily who was wrapped in a soft blanket the color of mint with a gold crest stitched on the bottom, the crest of the Kingdome of Sperenza, a gift from the queen. Lily slept peacefully in her mothers arms while Aether her older brother played video games in the waiting room. Nassor seated next to Muriel lay a hand on hers . Dr. Chung spoke, a nurse sat next to the doctor and took notes. Did you have a normal pregnancy Muriel ? I did sir , except for some spotting of blood in the Seventh month, but I , we, Immediately went to the hospital and the obstetrician said I was well. Good , that’s good said the doctor , and how about prenatal vitamins did you take them ? yes, do you smoke ? NO, never ! drink alcohol? , no sir. Good ,very good Muriel . It is important you know to be careful of such things when pregnant and eat well. Oh , I did Doctor ! I did all of those things I was very careful . She was Doctor, Muriel is a great mother said Nassor . I am sure said Dr. Chung. He rose from behind his desk and walked to the front of it . Can I hold Lily? he asked ,Muriel looked to Nassor who nodded in acceptance . Muriel carefully layed sleeping Lily in the Doctors arms, she fussed a bit and yawned wide , which brought soft giggles and smiles to everyone in the room. The nurse was now standing next to the Doctor who was holding Lily like a loving grandfather , one could tell he was a father himself . Do you mind he said carefully unwrapping the mint blanket from around Lily's head . Not at all Doctor said Muriel. The doctor searched just with his eyes , his glasses again perched at the tip of his nose . Then he gently ran his hand over Lily's newly grown brown hair . His tender touch caused the babies eye brows to wiggle and a smile to form on her face , Look at that said Nassor she smiled ! did you see that Muriel ! , both parents were in surprise. Doctor Chung passed Lily back to Muriel and he then rested against the front of his desk, removed his glasses and places them in the top pocket of his lab coat. As it was explained to you ,Lily has a Port Wine stain and in medical terminology called a naevus flammeus.

Secret
HERE IS THE DEEPEST SECRET NOBODY KNOWS
Here is the deepest secret nobody knows
a prayer I pray with tears so plenty
that they reach the root of a tree called life that grows
higher than a soul can hope or a mind can hide
touching stars and skipping upon sunshine
A prayer I pray when awake
and during glassy darkness where dreams partake
It is always upon my lips in a heartfelt tone
this prayer I pray, praying that is
heard by the one who sits upon the golden throne

Rise to the winged imago.......A butterfly of a story.
This evening I read over my last post ( unedited exerpt ) and immediatly noticed many errors , (opportunities) . You see, my dear reader when I begin a story, I just write , thats all , just write .I know the tale I want to tell and can visualize scenes , but the words , the real words I want to use hide in the caves , up in the mountains and under the rocks in my mind , hiding there , making me come hunt for them, and I do . First though, I just write , jotting down what ever comes out of the pen. Then, I craw within myself , forming a coccon and night after night, I hunt for those little fuckers , "the troll words" and when I find them I eat them up like a hungry caterpillar. Then the metamorphosis of the story can begin , it is a slow journey as I live in this word coccon .Free writing , hunting , eating , transforming = egg , larva, pupa and finaly Imago (last stage). But as I hunt and the story evolves , it remains a caterpillar, until and only until the words give rise to a winged imago. Oh , the beauty of a butterfly of a story.. flying away to the eyes of a reader.... Knight in the Forest of the Pons ( Journey to the Syndrome ) is just, but an egg

Valley of Loneliness
For I know the saddest place in the world
Where howling darkness and endless tears dwell
Never does a flower bloom or any kind of bird fly
Only blood filled clouds bleed from the sky
Fear and worry are the names of the black oozing rivers
that flow to shores covered with snakes that slither
This valley of loneliness is my broken heart
where my selfish pride has torn it apart
Shame and desire border it like sharp razor wire
cutting all love to pieces that dare to transpire
For I am the unloveable one, dissolved and childless
as I roam in this nocturnal Valley of Loneliness

The Other side of the Hill
Excerpt from Knight in the Forest of the Pons( Journey to the Syndrome)
A sonnet
Once upon a forlorn sleep
I was lost in a dream
So wonderfully sweet
It seemed to be true
Twas a warm spring morn
As I laid in a clover filled meadow
Pondering above to an azure
Crimson and blue
Seated next to me on a rock
Reading the good book
Was a praying mantis
And draped over his shoulders
A purple frock
Suspended over my head
Like puppets on a string
Were ripples of bees ,
Lady bugs and a sparrow
With one wing
To my left there stood a hill
Enchanted with cherry blossom trees
And a rainbow of daffodil
Beyond a clearing snug in a nook
Flowed the waters of a murmuring crooked brook
On the shore sitting a top of a hollow log
Was a lone very bullish looking croaking frog
And over the brooks water dragon flies in a quad
whom Danced within the mist of a mysterious fog
Breathing deep and exhaling long
I was mesmerized in this medley
Of dreamy charm
What was I doing in such a peculiar place
In a peaceful state
Dare I say with a smile on my face
Usually my days are filled with remorse and sorrow
You know the pain I mean ,
Like your heart was shot with a poison arrow
Then , out of the blue
A childs voice echoed
Throughout the meadow
Daddy , daddy where are you ?
I listened intently , layed very still
As the childs voice seem to be coming
From the other side of the hill
Daddy , daddy where are you ?
All of a sudden standing under the sun
Amongst the daffodills and cherry blossoms trees
Was a lillte girl bending to her knees
Clothed in a snowy white dress
With pink ribbons in her long brown hair
She put her hands together
Reciting this heart breaking prayer
please jesus please
Help me find my daddy
He has been gone
For so long
And forgive me
If it is because of something I have done wrong
Wont you bring him back to me
And make things the way they use to be
I just want to hold his hand
Like we did as we walked alone the sand
Have him tuck me in tight , read to me
And make me feel safe on dark stormy nights
When I heard that prayer
From the sad little girl
With pink ribbons
In her long brown hair
I felt a rushing pulse
Throughout my veins
That landed in my heart
Just like that poison arrow pain
The little girl then
Placed her hands
Over her eyes
And began to cry
Weeping the words
Daddy why oh why
I continued to watch
From my spot
And still sitting next to me
Was the praying mantis
Seated on a rock
Putting down the good book
Turned to me with a majestic look
\ and from a thimble sipped wine
Then spoke and said
The little girl searching for her father
Is your daughter, son of mine
I could not believe what was takeing place
Dream or no dream I had no time to waste
Quickly I rose
While the mantis on tippy toes
Added ….God has given you a second chance
To be the man you are suppose to be
Go … go be with your daughter
Follow the narrow path
But beware of the black donkey
So in a hurry I made my way
Up that narrow path
Passed that black donkey
Who winked devilishly
I finaly made it to the daffodils
And cherry blossom trees
Sat next to my daughter
Who was still crying on her knees
Placed my hand upon her shoulder
Her head raised, she looked at me
And that beautiful smile of hers rushed
Immediately that poison arrow pain flushed
Daddy , daddy oh daddy its you
She leaped in my arms
Right out of those silly nodding daffodils
Boy , I held her tight
And kissed her cheeks
Both of our hearts skipping beats
I love you sweet heart I really do
I am so sorry I ever hurt and left you
With her big brown eyes , gleaming wide
And dimpled smile
She replied…daddy I love you too
Please never again leave my side
Because I missed you so.
And their we were embracing
In grass emerald green, surrounded by
Daffodils and cherry blossom trees
I lingered as long as I could
But felt it beginning to happen
And then woke up alone in seclusion
I will never give up , maybe the dream was a vision
A sign to take firm hold of Gods hand
And surrender to his will
Stay strong and endure
Because you never know what joy awaites you
On the Other Side of the Hill
A bridge that needs crossing.....

(Battle Version)
Knight in the Forest of the Pons
As you bathed in the tree line brook
With sunbeams reaming
Through leaves that shook
I was there upon my black horse, hunting you
Never in all my days have I witnessed such a site
Birds stopped singing the wind stopped whispering
Even the sun turned black with fright
I have been in battles with two headed dragons
With beast that creep and crawl
Even with fierce lions that have pierced my flesh in death brawls
But never has my body trembled
Or my nerves shook, as I watched you bathe, in the tree lined brook
Sitting upon my horse my armor shining with force
Your slave, your pawn
Nevertheless , untouchable one
There is a bridge that needs crossing
and on the other side is the magical wand
That I shall capture
I, Knight in the Forest of the Pons

Warrior Knight and a Zygote Warrior....
Zygote Warrior
Time - in the minute beginnings of life
So intricately delicate and precise
There, floating, hidden in secret
Within your light proof room
Thriving! Alive! Love consumed,
Blanketed under a nocturnal dreaming
A human composition the mighty one is weaving
Not unlike a pilgrim in a strange place
You grow with grace
With a whisper and with a hush
You are made of spiritual dust
Tell me tiny seed, what is your planets sound?
Is your world as quiet as a flower pushing through the ground?
Following your charted course a ballet of sorts
With whirling pirouettes and elegant minuets
This dance you do Jesus
A beautiful miracle,
Eyes have shown, feet and hands have bloomed
The heart flutters and the brain, ah yes, the brain, it perceives!
Can one believe? A child conceived
Welcome one of a kind creation
My anticipation
ZYGOTE WARRIOR ......
