Hello, again my people, E Lloyd Kelly here. As promised, today we are going to begin the long trek into Cekkoworlds. We are going to start off with an out-of-this-world encounter, where we will venture into the life and times of some other kinds of peoples, and we shall be taking a peek into some of their norms and customs.
These people, the Cekko people are from a distant sphere, but from time to time they have been coming into contact with other peoples from other spheres, peoples of the humanoid kinds, us, even. Here now is episode one in the series. If you like it, please bookmark this site and come again tomorrow, don’t forget to share the love too, tell a friend about his.
You may expect to receive a new episode each weekday, and maybe a special on the weekends. Without further delay, here is episode one of the story we called, Casting Shadow on the tattooed trails.
Episode 1: 01
Imagine, imagine it is your first ever meet-up with the Royal family of Cekkoland, and this is how it went down.
Imagine that you are a spy or some sort, or a peeping-tom, and you can see them there in the conference room. Imagine that, just like the Cekko people, just like them you’ve got the power, the special powers and the ability to go on for long periods of time without sleeping, or eating, or anything else. And still be able to function at your peak, and stay focused and alert.
And here you are, like, like at a vantage point where you are, hanging suspended somewhere outside of the meeting room probably, just out of sight, and out of their knowledge of you being there.
But you are nonetheless, there, eavesdropping on the meeting. On the conversation.
Look, look at the king, there he is, sitting on the throne, he is a little bit slumped in his posture today, not his usual majestic self. He is obviously troubled.
Everybody who is anybody in the hierarchy of the kingdom is there, sitting in their respective places.
In a semicircle at the conference table, facing the king. Everybody including the chief ranger, Smokey, and a few of his most promising prospects,
Shadow is there for sure, and the young trainee named, Beahon, and the girls, they are there too.
It would be interesting to hear what they are talking about, what’s on the menu for discussion today? Now your curiosity is getting the better of you, you are inching closer.
There is a crack in the window pane, you notice it for sure. You are now edging your way nimbly along the ledge, just outside the window on the same floor as the conference room.
Because it is dark outside, and because you’re wearing dark clothing yourself, you are confident that you will remain concealed, and make it all the way there.
But you are not about to go pushing your luck too far this time, not at the risk of being busted.
You are standing there on the ledge now, at the back end of the room, behind all of those sitting there at the conference table but almost exactly in front of the direct gaze of the king.
There has got to be a better place, the king might be distraught and distracted now but who knows when he might momentarily resort to his customary sharp senses and wit and discover an intruder among them? Can’t risk that, got to find a better spot.
Oh, there it is, that upright column over there, just behind the conference table with the drapery hanging alongside seemed perfect.
It will block the view from the king’s position, and, unless one of the guests should get up and away from the business at hand and should come over and deliberately pear through the window, by shifting the drapery even then you should be okay.
And those at the table seemed to be well caught up into the matter at hand, nobody seems likely to be going anywhere, anytime soon.
But getting over there is going to be a real challenge. So now, after biding your time very carefully, you’ve managed to make it there behind the column. Stop.
To be continued…
