Publisher: GISA Publishing
Nestled within a thought-form in Earth’s vast realm, Outpost Gypsy Tree becomes home for six adventurous teenagers from various parts of the world. Charged by their own desire for peace and love for humanity, they are assigned to clear the earth’s light portals of the evils of mankind, starting with the North Portal. To do so, the teens must journey back in time to the winter solstice of 3107 BCE to decode an archaic sequence at Ireland's historic Newgrange that will unlock a Neolithic chamber leading them to the ‘other world’ of the gods of Erin. To prove their worthiness, courage, and commitment to battle the darkness, they must journey through the traitorous Cave of Damnation and face an encroaching inferno. At the core of this bizarre journey is the staff of Outpost Gypsy Tree: Eittod of Tulsun Minor, an ancient being with a rainbow-colored body, and Bezen and her son, Mingo, inhabitants of Early Earth.
This is a book for all ages.
Excerpt
PROLOGUE
Zero hour had arrived. The first
chink of sunlight streamed through the roof box. It slowly made its way down
the passageway and illuminated the ancient triple spiral carving in the stone
womb. With her eyes fixed upon the pinnacle of the three-foot-high obelisk
before her, Drew Megan Campbell slowly rubbed a small white quartz stone
between her hands. As Eittod had instructed her, she held the stone just inches
above the tip of the obelisk’s pinnacle. She sucked in a deep, nervous breath;
her heart pounded hard against her ribs; her face was tense, flushed. After
all, this was what she was born to do; it was her task and hers alone, her
great-grandfather had said. Drew had to trust, even though she did not yet know
the outcome of her next action. Her fellow light travelers’ eyes were
transfixed upon her. Their fate rested in her hands. As the triangular notch on
the underside of the small quartz touched the capstone, three things happened
in rapid succession: brilliant aquamarine lights flashed throughout the stone
chamber blinding them; the earth began to tremble; and the heavy, scraping
sounds of moving rocks deafened them. It can’t end like this, we’ve come too
far, Drew thought, bracing herself as the ground below her feet shifted.
Locking eyes with Patrick, they both instantly knew it just couldn’t end like
this! The others stared at Drew with concerned eyes as the earth below their
feet moved downward. It was as if the ancient chamber was devouring them whole.
They reached for each other’s hands and gripped tight. The stone chamber began
to descend like a modern-day elevator, but there was no light board indicating
the number of floors below or above nor piped-in soothing music. Rather,
ear-splitting scraping and groaning sounds of ancient heavy rocks vibrated
through their bodies, rattling their bones and clattering their teeth. The
aquamarine flashes became more intense, more tangible, surrounding them as if
holding them all safely in place. An avalanche of thoughts spilled through
their heads but no one made a sound. It was all happening in slow motion,
freezing them speechless. Drew could feel their fear, hear their thoughts.
Telepathically, she reminded them of her kinship with Patrick, hence this can’t
be the end. Drew’s life flashed before her.
