As the King of Varanasi lay dying, he worried about his wife and unborn child. “The queen will be safe,” said his loyal minister, Ghoshthila. “She will bear a son who will one day rule over the kingdom.” Reassured, the King passed away. But the prophecy had been overheard by the King's older son, Suryanemi, the heir to the throne. Suryanemi thought of his unborn brother as a rival and ordered the minister to have the child killed as soon as it was born. Though it speaks of the Indian kingdom of Varanasi, this story from India was preserved in the monasteries of the high, frozen plateau of Tibet. It was found and translated by Europeans in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

The consequences of that decision will be devastating.Excerpt: The Last ProphecyScott and Amy were staring at him from the boat next to the entry port, “GET ON BOARD…NOW!!”Amy’s eyes were narrow as she said, “What’s going on Timmy, we have to put the boat away and…”“SHUT UP AND GET ON BOARD!!!” Timmy screamed. The boat was right next to the open port and Amy started to speak again but Timmy grabbed the handle next to the port, reached out and grabbed his mother by the front of her shirt, and snatched her into the port. He extended his hand and Scott grabbed it and jumped into the port. Timmy slammed the port shut and ran to the command chair.Tim had thrown his mother into the port and she landed on the floor and slid six feet, “TIMMY!!!”Timmy buckled into the command chair and yelled as he gripped the controls of the Attack Fighter, “BUCKLE IN TIGHT!!” He activated the lower bow thruster and the nose of the Attack Fighter lifted and went vertical. Scott lifted Amy off the floor and walked her to one of the chairs as she was screaming at Timmy. He went to the other chair and started pulling the belts around him as Amy continued to yell at her son. Suddenly, a brilliant light lit up the inside of the Attack Fighter as a mile wide, brilliant, red beam came out of the sky and hit the Crystal River Nuclear Power Station six miles away. Timmy pushed the thruster handle fully forward and energized the DE Force Field. The small ship leapt forward slamming Amy into her chair’s cushions as Timmy flew it directly away from the giant shockwave that was screaming into the atmosphere above the blasted power station and directly toward them at the speed of sound.Amy was struck silent by the brilliant light that came through the forward viewport. She felt the ship rock violently as the air moving at hurricane force in front of the advancing shockwave blew past them. She looked quickly through the rear viewport and saw the giant blast behind them roll out from the power plant and blow away the towns of Crystal River and Homosassa. A moment later, the armor shielding covered the viewports forcing her to look at the three wall monitors to see what was happening. She saw brilliant red beams flashing out of the sky around them and then the shockwave hit the small attack fighter.Visit me on Facebook at saxonandrewsuniverse@facebook.com or contact me directly at saxonandrew@msn.com to let me know how you liked the story.
