Summary

No Darkness in creation...only self, keeping out the light.... Within the chamber revolting creatures slither, drag their slimy forms across the murky floor. Some of the creatures simply stay relatively put, huddled menacingly in smoky corners; while others obviously prefer to brood in isolated spaces, far from the reach of probing tentacles always on the prowl for a tasty morsel with its guard down. Eyes of penetrating reds, pussy greens, and putrid yellows peer out from the many dim recesses. Some creatures have more than two arms and hands. They possess three and four—or as many as an octopus. Some have two squabbling heads seen quarreling, attempting to determine which of them is ugliest and therefore more deserving of respect. A gargoyle sits ominously on a perch next to a chair covered with carvings of tortured faces and twisted bodies. Chantilla scoots a slimy little thing off the chair before sitting down. She strokes the gargoyle affectionately. But this gentle exhibition does little to hide the vile temperament of her hand, twitching for an excuse to erupt into violence.

Prologue

In the “Land of Beginnings” anything can be changed, especially bad things—as if they never happened. To get there one first passes through the Mushroom Forest (an exceedingly dangerous place of Edibles); then on to the Crystal Mountain, where one slippery step could be a climber’s last; next in the treacherous journey comes the Blue Valley, where everything is blue, even the animals (blue, dark and deep—and don't dare fall asleep); having survived thus far, one must now be extra certain of his or her bravery before continuing—the rest of the journey requiring one to keep a perfectly pure heart if not to be captured and tortured by the most terrible of witches, Chantilla. After final passage through the accursed “Land of Dreary,” Chantilla’s shadowy kingdom of demons, the trekker will arrive in the Land Of Beginnings. As a reward he or she will be given a pouch of healing rainbow to take home, for this is where all rainbows begin before the Color Fairies paint them across the sky….

“Seeking is not the answer

if when we look

we are looking for things that are hidden

and therefore our focus on barriers.”
