Grenwer said, 'Deria and Reeas, you will not now have to go to Axvious. The Super-Robots are being dealt with by local forces and Guardian ships. I want you to seek out Dan. Sionn is probably in league with Kallo. We feel that Dan is in serious trouble, more trouble than he has ever been in up to now.'

  'How do you know that?'

  'Don't ask me how, Reeas, just trust me. Deria, get together with your sister and your brethren, try to locate the region where Dan has been taken.

  For students: Deria's sister is her twin and is called Deria 2. They are so close that they haven't been out of communication for even one minute in their whole lives, and their lives are very long, my student friends. You can now access Dan's part of the story as it was put on the database later. Sorry if it is too late for you to help in the dream state in this part of the story.

  For students: This part of the story will be related to you by Reeas. Deria is the higher being but she will keep herself in silence for the time being.

  Deria and I are going to meditate to the inaccessible region for a special conference called the Meeting-of-the-Masters. All we had to do was lie down or sit in the lotus position. We soon became aware in a beautiful setting which was overlooking a mountain range. The distance was too far to evaluate. But for any students who have managed to access this place you will know what I mean when I say it is beyond any words to describe.

  Mannus who is the lord of this region was sitting in his usual place which was in the center of the group but higher up. He was seated on a golden cushion; he was a giant of a man with golden skin and wearing golden bands on his arms and ankles. His only clothing was a loin cloth, and he had no hair on his body. Of course he wasn't a man at all, but the image of what we in the physical world can relate to.

  I know this place as Sanctuary where spiritual people gather to find a master. Some people manage it, but some don't. Dan found the Master in one past life, but died a few days later, now that master was here! Plus many more, also numerous students, maybe you are there also my student friends? Don't scoff, it is totally possible. Grenwer, plus Deria2 I also see Deria's brethren, and all manner of higher life forms, plus Thalo and his people, they were liberated when Dan and I infiltrated the Tourgen base, also Fagil from Far Station which is now the planet Yalton. They helped to bring me back to life when I got killed by the Burin.

  These masters plus many students are now seated in meditative positions. Deria was now out of silence, and ready to address the conference. She has now earned the right to be an Elfin Princess and she is also a Master Guardian; Mannus himself appointed her. She appeared in her human form which was breathtaking in its beauty. I sat down at the outer edge of the conference while Deria walked to the center and stood at the right-hand side of Mannus. After a few minutes of prayer and meditation she started to speak thus:

  Conference: We are gathered here for an emergency Meeting-of-the-Masters. I have to report that Sionn our Higher-Coordinator has now become an outcast. Dan Sherman has been taken prisoner and Debra, who is the power of the Guardian-Network, has disappeared.

  Message from Reeas: I was feeling pretty depressed at this moment I can tell you. As most of you know, Dan has been in some pretty tough places and has been taken prisoner many times. He has managed to escape by his own resourcefulness with help from the Guardian-Network. Students have also helped in the past, by working in the dream state and sending their thoughts to central-database.

  Students will know that we as soul cannot be killed, but we can be captured by various means and kept prisoner. Kallo himself is a master when it comes to escaping from any inner world prison. I just hope Dan can do the same. I feel somehow different this time though. It is as though Dan is somewhere that we cannot get to. Far-Station was such a place; also Dark-Space was a very scary place; Dan managed to enter these places plus many more and help many beings to freedom. Sorry if I am digressing from the moment but you will understand why. Dan is my life and he is also my lifetime partner and past lifetime partner.

  From Deria:

  Reeas and I are going to keep searching for Dan. We are here to seek help. Three students have managed to locate a temporary rift in the time continuum. This is very commendable. The rift has now disappeared but we know the exact location of the space. Reeas and I plus one student who managed to find the rift will travel there in high cloaking mode. I have to tell you that two of our brethren here at this conference have now been found to be Dark-Agents. Security is already moving in to apprehend the culprits. Please try to stay in higher consciousness as we meditate to the nearest inner region to locate the rift and to gain any sort of information which will be of use. Dan Sherman is a well-loved and loyal Guardian; we will do all in our power to bring him home. Will everyone please pray?

  Message from Reeas: the atmosphere was now something to behold. The light and sound of this inner region was now making me feel dizzy. The next thing I knew was Deria holding my hand and saying that we were already at the designated spot. I looked around me to find a young girl of about seventeen years old; I knew her to be the student who had managed to locate to time rift. She was looking at me and Deria with a puzzled expression.

  'Where am I,' she said.

  For students: beings who manage to locate certain places on the inner planes are sometimes in awe when they actually become aware; usually they are in the dream state and protected.

  'What's your name?' I said.

  'I am Unysal,' she said.

  Deria said, 'How did you manage to locate the time rift?'

  She said, 'I was with some other students when we found a code book in one of the galleries in the Halls-of-Learning.

  For Students: the Halls-of-Learning are places that anyone with a higher or high enough consciousness can access; they can be located on many spiritual planets on the inner planes.

  'Where are the other students now?' Deria enquired.

  'I don't know. They disappeared.'

  'What did the code book tell you?'

  'It said that if we were to be at the precise spot at the right time we would be able to move into another world which would fulfill our wildest dreams.'

  'Why didn't you go through with it then?'

  'The other students said they were scared.'

  Deria was now looking at me with a serious stare.

  'What's wrong?' I said.

  'I feel a dreadful emotion coming over me. Reeas step back. Unysal I'm sorry.'

  Deria touched her behind the neck and Unysal disappeared.

  For students: she was sent back to the sub base, and then back to her bed on whatever planet she comes from.

  'Why did you do that, Deria?' I said.

  'There were two entities who were watching us from close by. I knew these to be the students who were with Unysal while accessing the code book; they have now disappeared, but I know them to be Dark-Agents.'

  'Why did they come here?' I said.

  'It was a trap, Reeas. They were about to touch us when I disabled Unysal; they are not just agents but masters, and if we had been taken it would have been to a dark inaccessible region were we might have been prisoners for years.'

  'How come they didn't know this at the meeting?'

  'I suspect they did, but they knew I would do what was required.'

  'Why then, did we come here?'

  'I am accessing that right now, Reeas. I feel that this spot is nothing to do with what happened to Dan, yes, I am now sure. We have to go to a place which Unysal found some time back; it is the actual spot where Dan was when he was taken, I got this information from her when I touched her behind the neck. Reeas hold my hand and we will transfer out of here.'

  I must admit holding on to Deria's hand I felt like a child would with its mother. Deria is without doubt the epitome of a spiritual being.

  We are now standing in a sort of rocky deserted place that reminded me of a lifetime that Dan and I shared while on Earth; we were North American Indians of the Shosho
ni Tribe; the year was 1726, Dan was the man and I was the woman. He wanted to be the hunter but I wanted to learn about other things. We lived to the west of the Rocky Mountains in Utah. Life was very hard. There was a lack of big game; we had to live on rabbits, fish, roots and seeds. I wanted to learn new skills, but I couldn`t with the way of life we had. I then incarnated to a series of planets in the galaxies of Zeta3 where I could finally learn about mathematics and other such things, and then finally to my home planet of Erinon 5, of course, I didn't realize at the time that I was leaving Dan.

  Deria said, 'This is the place where Dan was taken before he disappeared, there was a hidden gateway over there by the rock wall. Let us be careful as we make our way there. We were within a few feet from the door when suddenly Deria's sister appeared.

  Deria 2 said, 'Stop right there!' Deria froze on the spot as I did. Deria 2 then said, 'There is a booby trap just a meter away from you.' Deria reached out her hand to touch her sister who reached out her other hand to touch me. I was then told to close my eyes. After a few minutes Deria said, 'Yes, I can see it now.' Deria 2 then said, 'I realized that you we're going into trouble when I felt a dread come over me. You of course you couldn't feel it as you were already in a lower region.' Deria said, 'let us move back slowly.' I could now see the booby trap; it was starting to manifest itself as a classic Demon, complete with horns and cloven feet. It started to speak:

  'You can move away from me, ladies, but it won't do you any good. My little helpers are all around you, can't you feel them? Before you ask me how I managed to trap you. I suspect you already know.'

  My mind was in a whirl. Deria and her sister trapped? It could never happen. The Demon continued: 'You are now in my power. The actual spot where you were stood when your sister arrived was the place we had chosen for the trap. It is an inaccessible place and you, my dear friends, are going to rue the day you stepped into my domain. We now have Deria 2. Not a bad day's work do you think? Kallo has advised me to take great care that you don't escape. I may not be good looking to you, my fine ladies, but I know some pretty good techniques for getting information. Deria 1, Deria 2 and Reeas, you know that you can access places which we in the lower regions cannot, yes? Well, this region where you are at this moment is a region where you cannot escape.'

  I was now starting to get very frustrated. This Demon was everything that I had once believed to be very easy to defeat! Why can't I simply contact Deria and her sister to overcome it! The Demon continued:

  'Kallo himself has supervised the procedure for bringing down your consciousness. So, if you will accompany me to the Mind-Transfer room, we will begin.'

  Message from Grenwer: the situation is now critical. We have been informed by Dark-Forces that Deria and her sister plus Reeas have been taken prisoner. Sionn has joined forces with Kallo. Dan is missing, and Debra is inaccessible.

  Things at the Guardian base have never been this bad. I am liaising with coworkers to see if we can gain any information on the situation. Students please help. The place where our friends have been taken is probably an inaccessible region and will have been secured with many traps; these traps will be dangerous to any beings who have not been forewarned. If any students can be of help or access anything to do with this crisis please get in touch with the Guardian database.

  I am now being informed that Mannus himself is calling for a special Meeting-of-the-Masters. I will be relating the on-going story for the time being.

  This message has been added later for security reasons. The region where I am to go is a special inaccessible place where only higher beings are allowed access. I am sad to say that this is the only time that I have been to one of these meetings without Sionn or Deria or her sister with me. The beauty of the place is without doubt something to behold but the crisis that is now unfolding has sullied things somewhat. I look around the august scene and feel a deep sense of sadness.

  Mannus is in his usual place but he is unavailable! How can this be? The meeting was being led by a master from the Delvincium galaxy. She is a Female master called Amelaria. I will let her take the floor for now and she will update us on the situation.

  Fellow Guardians: The situation that has arisen is without doubt one of the most serious crisis that has transpired in the history of the Guardian-Network. Dark forces have, over a short time span captured a number of our colleagues. They also have been able to incapacitate our network by isolating Debra, who, as you know, was part of our loyal colleague Dan Sherman's consciousness.

  This separation from Debra has brought about the most serious condition that we are now facing. We can't access the network as we once did. Our beloved colleagues Deria 1 and 2 are together with Reeas stranded somewhere in the lower regions. We cannot access these regions as we once did simply because Kallo and his helpers have created Time-Blockers and Mind- Transfer traps in many places. I am opening this meeting up to all members who want to ask questions and give opinions. The first question is from Guardian Selkam from Merios. Please continue?'

  'I would like to know how this situation has been allowed to come to this stage. Surely you must have known?'

  'I'm sorry Selkam; there is not the time to debate this question at this time, please confine your questions to what we can do to bring about an end to this crisis.'

  'Next member, Delvar from Yaafen, please continue:'

  'We are told that Mannus is unavailable, how can this be?'

  Mannus, is as you know, the Guardian of the Power. He is also the Watcher. It is up to us to keep order although he will exert his power when needed; the time to exert that power might be at hand. Only he will know. All we can do is our best. Next question from Callibon from Barion:' are there any students who can help? We need lower conscious people to access the lower regions, don't we?'

  'As yet, we don't know who is best suited to go into 'Kallo's New-Empire.' This is the name with which it is now being referred to. Kallo has planned this situation for many years. Don't ask me how he managed to conceal it from us. He is a Master when it comes to anything to do with the lower regions and we simply can't keep up with him when he is down there.'

  Next question from Fihlem from Asgest:

  'Can you tell me if there is any truth in the rumor that Sionn has reportedly teamed up with Kallo?' Everyone says it is true but many people won't accept it.'

  'Perhaps our esteemed colleague, Grenwer, can answer that question best.'

  I took the podium with a heavy heart.

  'It is with extreme sadness that I have to confirm that Sionn has indeed gone into partnership with Kallo.'

  'How can this be? Might it be a ploy to capture Kallo? Fihlem said.'

  'All out information is negative to that question. Sionn has taken it upon himself to access Debra without success or permission, and is now in league with Kallo. I suspect it will come to an almighty battle of wills. I hope to God that Sionn wins through. He is my longest and dearest friend. I would like to put a proposal forward, with respect, if I may Amelaria?'

  'Please, Grenwer, go ahead.'

  'I want permission to lead a team of coworkers to find Dan; he is the only one who can bring back Debra.'

  'I'm sorry, Grenwer, you are the Higher-Coordinator and you are needed to help supervise the network. I agree that Dan is the key and that it is imperative to find him. I propose that we make up a team consisting of people who know Dan, and have worked with him. I am receiving a message from Guardian base. It seems that Darian who is Deria's brother has come out of silence and is offering to be part of the team. Also there is a Guardian who is specially trained in concealment. Her name is Tamia; she has worked with Dan in the past and has actually touched Kallo. This means that she will be very useful. Very few people have touched Kallo in the physical or other planes, but we know Dan is one of them. Beings who don't want to communicate by touch or any other means isolate themselves from their brother beings and are sometimes lost for long periods of time. Kallo wants to be elusive. He has als
o brought into being many clones with similar genetic and mental patterns to himself. This is what we are now facing, an army of Kallo lookalikes who are willing to sacrifice themselves for his glory. Mannus is now out of silence and will speak to us. Will everyone please hold hands and meditate.

  Message from Grenwer: Mannus has spoken to us but I cannot relate his message to students at this time. You can understand the reason why I'm sure. The security of the network is all important at this time.

  Chapter 75-Shobdera Dark Queen of the lower regions

  Automatic message to students from the Guardian Network:

  This message was inserted into the recordings later. As you can appreciate, the events of the latest time span have caused uproar in the network and so the recordings that usually occur have not been available. Grenwer is busy organizing a team of people to scan the inner worlds for Dan Sherman. A Guardian or student will be appointed to supervise the recordings sometime in the near future. Please upload your thoughts to central database to be assessed for this job.

  Kallo has been summoned by (Mannus equal) Shobdera, Dark Queen of the lower regions, to account for his actions over a considerable time period. We will take up his story now:

  ***

  'Sionn, I feel more confident now than at any time before. I may try to put myself forward for the position of Overlord.'

  'An overlord has to have a compassionate mental ability, Kallo.'

  'Correction, firstly an overlord has to be non-caring, before the compassionate part of his character is brought into play.'

  'What is it that you want, Kallo? Do you really want to destroy everything?'

  'You know what I want, Sionn. You also want it.'

  'All I want is to bring balance to all the worlds of God.'

  'I understand that you are jealous, Sionn. Why else would you come into my realm and try to make a pact with me? You know that you failed miserably, and so now you are trying to get me to help you bring balance into the picture.'

  'Balance is everything in the inner and outer worlds, Kallo, you should know that.'

  'All I know is you are an outcast like me. How does it feel, Sionn? Will you ever be able to meet your precious Mannus again?'
