Chapter 13

     Zythor the crocodile wondered at the significance of the dream that he had. In the dream he saw many birds and animals appearing before a judge and these were receiving medals for participating in their race but when he tried to join the line each time someone came and pushed him out of the line and took his place. This continued until there was no one else joining the line and still he could not get into the line. This dream disturbed Zythor the crocodile so much that that night when Uwarl the owl stopped by for a friendly chat Zythor the crocodile shared the dream with him.

    Uwarl the owl considered for a while before asking Zythor the crocodile if he was sure that he did not have some unfinished task to get done. Zythor the crocodile though and then declared that all the assignments given to him by the birds and the  fishes had been completed and he had asked the other animals to train Porsker the boar for the upcoming fight with Geographic Man as the birds had suggested.

     “What about when you visited the other realms, did you complete all the tasks given you by The Prince of Shalom?” Uwarl the owl asked Zythor the crocodile.

     “Yes, oh no, I should have reported to the fish about my visit to the other realms and informed them that the Prince of Shalom has  sent the assurance that he is aware of our problems and will deal with the problems at his own pleasure,” Zythor the crocodile answered  Uwarl the owl.

    “Well, that may be the answer to the meaning of your dream. Maybe your conscience is bothering you because you have not delivered the message or maybe it is you that is holding up the Prince of Shalom doing what he says. I would suggest that you stop fretting over the possible outcome of the battle between Geographic Man and Porsker the boar and concentrate on your responsibility to the fishes, the birds and the animals,” Uwarl the owl advised Zythor the crocodile.

     “Will you please pass on the message that I am on my way for a meeting to the fishes for me?” Zythor the crocodile asked Uwarl the owl.

    “It will be my pleasure,” Uwarl the owl responded to Zythor the crocodile.

      It was only when Zythor the crocodile set out for the meeting with the fishes that  he found out that Dhovie the crocodile had anticipated that meeting and had been waiting for him for more than a week. Although Dhovie the crocodile swam beside him Zythor the crocodile thoughts and mind was on the fate of Porsker the boar when he lost the fight to Geographic Man. He was glad to have Dhovie the crocodile by his side although he did not speak much to her while they swam side by side. He was glad for the times when a solitary fish or a whole school of fish stopped by to exchange pleasantries.

      It was the fishes that chose the places of the meetings and this time the scenery in the ocean was fabulously breath taking. Zythor the crocodile and Dhovie did not have time to enjoy the beauty of the scenery however because they arrived at midmorning and found the fishes ready and waiting for their arrival to begin the meeting. This was an easy thing for the fishes because the progress of Zythor and Dhovie the crocodiles was reported to the fishes gathered for the meeting and so the fishes knew the exact time that they would get to the meeting.

       It was Abuther the whale shark that chaired this meeting of the fishes and he immediately made an unusual opening statement “I hope you will forgive me if I forego some of the formalities and rules of protocol but it is important for us to have this meeting and we cannot prolong the meeting as at other times. As this meeting progress you will understand why. Zythor the crocodile I am especially happy to see that you are not alone but had the foresight to take Dhovie the crocodile along with you. In light of certain developments I will take your report near the close of this meeting. Fishes all some time ago we the fishes proposed a meeting with man with the hope that such a meeting would stop the destruction and extinction of the animals, the birds, and also the fishes. The birds embraced our idea but divided man into three classes and decided to meet with each class of man. The animals in their meeting learned of the legendary man who was known as the lion lamb and they assigned Zythor the crocodile that we have here to if possible locate and meet with this man. This man the lion lamb man the animals believed could hold the solution to all of our problems. Zythor the crocodile will give us more information about that. We the fishes at our last meeting though it good if we could meet with all four and I will ask Petit the  sperm whale to give a report because we would like for this report to get back to the birds and  to the animals. I will ask petit the sperm whale to give his report now.”

     Petit the whale looked shy as he began addressing the fishes, “We were just about to meet when Mnastion the great white shark alerted us to a serious disturbance in the ocean that was some distance away but approaching us. We sought to escape the disturbance but soon found ourselves being tossed around like leaves on a windy day by the waves. Then after a while the turbulence continued but there was calm in the middle of the turbulence which was where we were and then he began speaking to our minds. We knew that it was only The Invisible One that was capable of making this happen in the ocean and it was he who was speaking to us. He mildly rebuked us for some of what we had requested and also rebuked us for not appealing to our originator King El Olam. In the end he offered to present our concerns to King El Olam for us and this offer we gladly accepted”

     The fishes had decided not to share this experience until they were together at a meeting where all the schools of fish in the general locality are welcome to attend the meeting. These fishes listened with open mouth as Petit the sperm  whale reported on this meeting  with The Invisible One and the fishes were shocked to learn that they were unaware of such an eventful thing happening.

       Zythor the crocodile dearly wanted to ask questions of the fishes and indicated this but Abuther The whale shark indicated that the meeting had to proceed. Abuther the whale shark told the fishes that all the leaders among the fishes will be available to answer questions after the meeting. Then Abuther the whale called on Temmel the eel and Leppie the salmon to give their report.

      It was Leppie the salmon that spoke, “We met and had conversation with Religious Man and we believe that he was a good choice by the birds. We are happy to report that the birds, the animals and the fishes have been seeing vast improvements in the way that we are treated by King El Olam’s subjects on the earth since the initial meeting of the birds with Religious Man.”

     “I will now ask Mnastion the great white shark to give two quick reports,” Abuther the whale shark told the fishes at the meeting.

     “My first meeting was with Nationalistic Man and that meeting went well. The birds had been able to convince him that his survival and that of his country was dependent on their survival and therefore it was up to him to convince the other countries to extend their protection to us. The preservation of the birds, the animals and us fishes is becoming an effort of many nations through the efforts of Nationalistic Man. My next meeting was with Geographic Man. The birds had met with this man and exacted a promise but he has failed to keep his promise so he was paid a visit by Jbosey the dolphin and me. I am sorry to have to report to you all that Geographic Man has not taken kindly to what we did to him and he has declared war on us. His primary targets will be Jbosey the dolphin and me. The rest I leave to Abuther the whale shark to inform the meeting,” Mnastion the great white shark said in giving his report.

    Abuther the whale shark looked directly at Zythor the crocodile as he addressed him’ “I know that you have a lot to say and a lot of questions to ask but you do not have much time so you have to stick to the most important points although it was you that asked for this meeting.”

       Zythor the crocodile got scared because this was not the norm at meetings of the fishes but he began, “Fish all at the end of our meeting which was not the most amicable of our meetings five of us were together when Porsker the boar saw The Light Bearer lurking in the area and he attacked The Light Bearer. Later that day we were visited by two men who told us that they were so pleased with that attack by Porsker the boar that they had begged for us to be given a visit to the other realms. I appreciate the assistance given by the fish when we were reported missing by now you all know where we were. You would all have heard by now that was where we were and there we met The Prince of Shalom. He has asked us to inform you the fishes that he is personally aware of our problems and that he will address our problems at his pleasure. My main reason for asking for this meeting was to deliver this message from The Prince of Shalom.”

    Abuther the whale shark then spoke slowly and deliberately, “When Mnastion the great white shark and Jbosey the dolphin visited Geographic Man they could have destroyed or kill him once and for all but Geographic Man had heard of Porsker the boar and he has vowed to place him on the walls of his halls too as a trophy. They did not destroy Geographic Man because they felt it was necessary for Porsker the boar and Geographic Man to meet in battle. We sent the message on to the animals and for a time we got reports on the training of Porsker the boar but it stopped. These reports came via the birds but the birds reported that the training was so violent, bloody and dangerous that they could watch it no longer. Zythor the crocodile you are needed urgently by the birds and animals and you will be riding on the backs of the fastest fishes in the sea to get back home. Geographic Man has had a long time to familiarize himself with the location for the fighting to take place and Porsker the boar was transported there and ordered to immediately engage Geographic Man although he is totally unfamiliar with the place. The Light Bearer has aligned himself with Geographic Man and now has control of the mind of Geographic Man. I am afraid to tell you that the first thing Porsker the boar did in the place was to attack The Light Bearer who he caught off guard a second time. This has angered The Light Bearer and he went and demanded and got changes in the battle plans from the Prince of Shalom. Here are some of The Light Bearers conditions:

1.      Fighting will take place both during the day and sometimes during the night.

2.      Fighting will take place both inside and outside a designated area.

3.      There will be spectators. The Birds and the animals will be permitted to watch the fighting. There will also be special spectators as invited by The Light Bearer.

4.      Porsker the boar must do battle with old enemies and new ones selected by The Light Bearer.

5.      The light bearer will choose the opponents.

6.      Once fighting starts there shall not be any form of assistance for Porsker the boar including provision of food

7.      The last opponents Porsker the boar shall face if he survives shall be Geographic Man assisted by four hounds and their handlers.

8.      The Light Bearer shall choose the times of the fights and shall determine when fighting shall begin.

     “What advantages has Porsker the boar got on his side?” Zythor the crocodile asked Abuther the whale shark.

       “I do know for sure that The Light Bearer will ask that The Invisible One not be present at the fighting although he knows that The Invisible One cannot break his word. What you can do is ask The Invisible One’s counsel as to how to go about further preparing Porsker the boar to fight. In the meantime Porsker the boar I understand is back in training and you need to rejoin the animals and birds,” Abuther the whale shark told Zythor the crocodile.
