lyrics
Once they reach the herbs that heal
and a holy ground birthed with persons
paying ritual gratitude service
to the fertile surface,
Ee'ti knew they had found their purpose.
They looked up and saw hidden tree houses perched in all the trees,
blending with the tropical birds chirping
and insect interpreters.
A monk greeted them first,
“Peace and Light!”
“Throughout the universe!” Responded Ee'ti.
“I see you have already met Robal and Obo. And my name is Tot.” As he placed his right hand over his heart.
“Sablimino and the Sand people send greetings as well. I am Ee'ti.” She said.
“Wunda!” Is how he introduced himself, reaching for a handshake.
“These monkeys are incredible!” Wunda yelped.
“Close enough,” Tot detailed, “We don't exactly call them monkeys. They are more like Monk Keys.”
“Monk Keys?” Ee'ti repeated.
“Yes, the Monk Keys are like our keys when it comes to accessing the rainforest. They are jungle diplomats in fact.” Tot explained.
The Monkeys and Gorillas mirrored the Monks mannerisms almost perfect. Wunda was extremely nervous, but through acts of worship, the Monks communicated with Ee'ti in ancient tongues, reciting scroll verses.
Ee'ti was determined to learn from the hermits what Trackezoid walls asserted. This group migrated long ago, in order to preserve their beliefs, rituals and traditions from being compromised. They rejected the magic that was being practiced in Kush, but they did have modern day knowledge of all the strange problems, including Slanglava. The Monks protected this secret from the common lot. For thousands of years, there is an ancient rock, small enough to carry away in a box.
Locked.
The abbot was an elder name Sutef. He presented the box inscribed with symbols and serpents and then he beckoned them to come closer.
Sutef said,
“Lesson number one! If you want the Dragon to serve, Do not forget these special words.”
Sutef continued,
“The secret name of the Dragon is Margonos.”
Then he added,
“And when you see Margonos, remember to say, Emic G’sota!”
Sutef concluded, “Send Sablimino my best greeting. Peace and Light throughout the Universe!”
