The day of the President's Official speech was fast approaching and the eight of us were training seriously on the clock keeping a crossed finger.Low-key, I and Mercury have been looking for the third anchor chain that casts it's shadow on the big mysterious door behind the Alpha's camp at night. We observed that the silhouette always comes out at the third day of every month. Is it a kind of Vudu? We couldn't place our hands on the magic or whatever that is behind it. I couldn't get my mind off the guy that walked up to me earlier at the refectory and gave me a kind of warning, more like a threat. My curiosity began to show itself as I stalked him and found out about him. He is actually a very secretive person, but I on the other hand, is a very inquisitive person. Makes the two of us. His name was George Anderson and according to some people, he's one of the oldest oldies in the Marshalls, he had always had the chance of completing his stars and leaving the Marshalls for the KS bu

We left the Marshalls for the Escort Mission very early in the morning on a helicopter, having General Gal as the pilot on board. We were heavily equipped and on our flak jackets with many pockets containing grenades, bullets and tactical knives.I had to carry a backpack for my second, personal mission.I sat, on the copter's landing rail with Sharpe carrying our guns. I was never afraid of heights but depth. Sharpe seemed to be afraid of nothing. She is a one tough person, reminds me of someone I once knew, Asher.I and Mercury were assigned to stand with the President during his few minutes speech.The Ashock Leyland driver and his company also went to were they were asked to position. Moses is a skilled driver and he was to be trusted.The eight of us had our code for communication, unit one to four, each unit with two Soldiers also in the code, rain and shine.* Rain. Shine. Units* Arms. Gal. 1* Mercury. Helion. 2* Janet.

"So, Sharpe. What exactly happened to your snipers?"I asked Sharpe when I got a little strength. Mercury did something that made me to like her the more. Coming to the mission with my water flask. I forgot it, but she remembered. "Man, I don't know really. It doesn't make sense it was preposterous. Thank God I was not assigned alone, because if not, you guys would have thought of me as a lunatic. Anthony please help me out." "These people are in some kind of cosmic stuffs, Vudu, whatever. We had to put normal people on target, it will be very clear, but then we'd put the Dogmarians back on target and it would go blur. I am so convinced, they are into some fetish stuffs." Anthony added. "Adding to what is happening to Henry, there is no other way to put it."Julius chipped in, looking at me lustfully even with my shit looking face.The General remained quiet all the while.Then I looked at Mercury, she looked back at me and I saw it in her eyes, she was thinking what I was thinking

"Janet, you sure know my name, I am not a Nerd" "Oh, sorry my bad, what's your name, Mercury?"Janet said in a mocking manner.Auch, that was loud. I felt for Mercury. Her name is sure not Mercury. I guess I caused it. "So, uhmm, Janet what do you want?" I asked Janet who was already sitting down comfortably. She brought out an inhaler and inhaled deeply. Putting it back in her pocket, she started smoking again. "I came here to know what you guys are doing with that giant of a book. I saw Nerdy carrying it to the dorm, so I followed. I have always known you two to be up to something and I was right all along. Wasn't I?" "Wait a minute, is that an Albuterol?You are ashmatic and yet you smoke?"Mercury asked in awe. "Your soul needs redemption, Janet. I guess you don't know what you are doing to yourself.'I said to her. "Oh, don't worry about me. We live to die, don't we?" "Oh, boy."Mercury muttered in her unbelief. Then I signaled Mercury to start reading because we don't ha

"Is that the end?" I asked Mercury who checked the other pages of the book. "Uh, well, this is the important ones yet. Let's analize the book." "Here?"I asked her giving her an eye sign that Janet is sleeping right in her room.So we tiptoed and left the room. Seeking privacy.We went to the back of our camp. "Shadock was sure not a friend. He was more of a devil to me."Mercury said. "Yeah, they sure had always been devils.He was playing a wild card. The good guy card, whereas he actually was the bad guy. Good thing he later died." "So, the Dogmarians, now, popularly known as the Dogmas had long been using Vudu." "Yeah, and we have to find the PRISON OF STONES, or whatever it was called." "How? The book said it was buried somewhere around the Treasure Aqua.I haven't heard about that water till today."Mercury retorted "What if the Neighboring Domain was Claudia?"I asked trying to make a point, then I continued, "We have the Pacific ocean around here, so maybe through evo
