Tolkien style. The Goat Prince is on a journey to find the proof of the existence of G_d, Blessed Be He. He along w/ Princess Rachel are on a lucid path facing their personal and community dragons. They add to their spiritual journey and search for a livelihood, thriving, surviving, more so thriving, being still alive after perils of the path, creating relationships, businesses and overcoming adverse conditions they carry on. They and their friends form a brat pack of sorts travelling, traversing and travailing the lands during their well-spent misspent youth. They are seeking an answer to life, find it, and the Goat Prince finds this a something and else beyond worldly ways by and by the logical conclusion, a discovery of the proof of G_d's existence (for further reading see Rabbi Kushner's works). He has left his home, having had come across adverse people and dragons, adversities in general and specific, discovered something new that irritated the forces of the "pearl," and returned to his mindset of home. Through the liberal use of languages and make-believe an understanding of the etymology of the world with the evolution of living languages and a world homology of oneness is subtly and comfortably, nearly subliminally an experience and life-changing for the reader.
