The Chronicles Of Kronos Volume III Chapter Eight

‘The Shadow’ told them to gather around.
“Hold hands. You will land on ground.”
The next instant they disappeared.
Immediately, they were in the castle. How weird.
They surprised ‘Fake’ Kronos at its desk.
It was now or never, what the heck.
A net appeared and flew over ‘Fake’ Kronos.
It jumped, turned & tried to zap away. Almost.
The net kept it trapped.
Until the net became a doormat.
The five had never seen such a thing.
It zapped away, like a dove on wing.
They left by way of the in between.
They couldn’t believe what they had seen.
Meanwhile ‘Fake’ Kronos was at the local village.
This time it wasn’t there to try & pillage.
It went into the Inn & demanded ale.
The amount it drank could kill someone frail.
‘They somehow slipped up on me.’ It thought.
‘They almost held me to that spot.’
‘Something went wrong with my tracking spell.’
‘Time for me to return to the ‘Knowledge Well.’
The ‘Knowledge Well’ being a place It was shown
by a subordinate whom It had known.
A place hidden deep in Arabia.
Aladdin had discovered it in Arabia.
With the help of a magic genie.
The foolish twit had set it free.
That was many eons ago.
It could still use some of the knowledge though.
‘Fake’ Kronos zapped to the Arabian cave.
It got in with its wand with just a wave.
There was an oracle deep within.
‘Fake’ Kronos approached with a crooked grin.
“Tell me now where my enemies might be.”
“I cannot. For that, I am unable to see.”
“You are worthless as tits on a boar.”
“I am thinking I won’t come here anymore.”
“Suit yourself, oh mighty king.”
“Remember. I can answer most anything.”
‘All right. Who sent the scumbags to harass me?”
“The creator of the universe. God himself, you see.”
‘Fake’ Kronos flew into a rage hearing this.
It cussed & swore. Hands gripped into fists.
“He thinks they can beat my ass.”
‘Someone like Him should have more class.”
With that, ‘Fake’ Kronos stomped away.
It had forgotten what It had come there to say.
Meanwhile, the five were in hot debate.
Trying to figure out what would be ‘Fake’ Kronos’s fate.
‘The Shadow’ said “something is familiar with what It did.
“It can’t get such knowledge from just any kid.”
“Hold on, I will be right back.”
With that he was gone, if he was even there, in fact.
In a blink, he had returned to them.
“I went to the ‘Well Of Knowledge’, where It had been.”
“What is this ‘Well Of Knowledge’ asked Anathea.”
“It is an oracle in a cave in Arabia.”
“You are a person of amazing knowledge” she said.
“It comes from being a genie” as he tilted his head.
“‘Fake’ Kronos got knowledge on how to track us.”
“But, it won’t work now. The in between hides us.”
“In between. That’s it! Anika said, while waving a fist.
‘The in between is what?” ‘The Shadow’ lisped.
“Not your in between. It is in between it all.”
“The positive & negative magic. It is in between.”
“Not one nor the other. In a world unseen.”
“It is in a place it should not be.”
“So, nothing can touch it, you see.”
“I think I am starting to get the picture.”
“Well, I am still in the dark. How’d it get here.?”
“It got there when Satan caused a void in the flux.”
“Do to Its nature, It remained between the flux.”
“It can tap into both worlds, but is still outside them.”
“We need a whole new way of thinking to bring It in.”
What do they mean “A whole new way?”
That will be revealed on another day.
For now, it is time to think outside the box.
This is getting wackier than a box of rocks.

The Chronicles Of Kronos Volume III Chapter Seven

They knew they needed a different approach.
The whole thing wasn’t like trapping a cock roach.
‘Fake’ Kronos is very smart & a fast learner.
They couldn’t put any of that on the back burner.
Then ‘The Shadow’ made a suggestion.
“We can approach him where there’s no congestion.”
“I can take us all through the in between.”
“That way none of us will ever be seen.”
Asglow said “What exactly is the in between?”
“It is in between here & there, it seems.”
“There is no time passage in the in between.”
“It is neither here nor there. Nowhere & everywhere.”
“Time & reality cease to exist while there.”
“You cannot be traced because you are nowhere.”
“It is not a time loop, like you were trapped in.”
“To explain how I use it, I wouldn’t know where to begin.”
“But, I can easily take all of you with me.”
“There is nothing to fear. Nothing to see.”
“For, you see, it all happens instantly.”
“You have said enough to convince us all.”
“We will use it next time we make our call.”
Meanwhile, ‘Fake’ Kronos was ranting & raving.
Mad at itself for destroying the golem baiting.
“These worthless scum want me to change.”
“Be kind to humans. I’d rather have mange.”
“I don’t know where they come from.”
“Somebody had to send the scum.”
“I will mash them like they were bugs.”
“I’m not giving out any kisses & hugs.”
“Next time they ‘pop’ in I will be ready.”
“I’ll exterminate them, like last week’s spaghetti.”
On and on It ranted to its subordinates.
They only listened. They’d only be subordinate.
Meanwhile, the five had come up with a new plan.
It would work, if ‘Fake’ Kronos was only a man.
But, he was a soul less horror that was only evil.
All they could say is they were glad It was single.
Just as they were about to put the plan to work.
Anika suddenly realized It had a quirk.
They asked if she meant the plan?
She said “No, I mean It. Follow me, if you can.”
“Magic is a constant thing. Always present.”
“Be it positive or negative, it is present.”
“But, one balances the other to prevent chaos.”
“But, in ‘Fake’ Kronos’s case, it is way off.”
“Maybe it is because It doesn’t have a soul.”
“It was not created by God, so It has no goal.”
“How does It work magic so efficiently?”
“Something doesn’t add up. Don’t you see?”
“You are right. But, we can’t explain it.”
“An abomination, God said, when He banned It.”
“He sent It to the realm of outer darkness.”
“It was drawn back. How heartless.”
“The void in the flux is what brought It back.”
“A square peg in a round hole. Way off track.”
Anika said “I feel something here can help us.”
“Let’s all think on it. If we fail, we must.”
“But, for now, let’s go with our current plan.”
“Maybe we will finally get It in the can.”
What was their plan? We do not know.
What else are they thinking on. Will It go?
Stay tuned as it all unfolds along the way.
Hopefully interesting enough to make you stay.

The Chronicles Of Kronos Volume III Chapter Six

The five zapped to the planet the Lumiactes were on.
It had been a long time since they were gone.
The Lumicates knew who they were.
They welcomed them in style, that’s for sure.
They said they were aware of ‘Fake’ Kronos.
But, where it will end up, no one knows.
They said it is like all references are blocked.
“’Fake’ Kronos is behind it. It is not to be mocked.”
Kronos said “It is going way beyond what I ever dreamed of.”
“We are underestimating it, just because it doesn’t love.”
“Even as wicked as I was before God changed me
doesn’t start to compare to it. It is estranged, see.”
The Lumicates said it will come to an end.
Exactly how and when, they couldn’t seem to bring in.
They thanked the Lumicates for their help.
Then, zapped away to earth to track the whelp.
They discussed many things concerning it.
To beat it, they had to outwit.
They had to start thinking like it did.
A real turn off. It could flip your lid.
Meanwhile ‘Fake’ Kronos was meeting with its subordinates.
It wanted their help to get to the real core of it.
“Some kind of power is protecting these scum.”
“It is something even I can’t overcome.”
“But, I can make their lives a living hell.”
“Maybe they’ll decide to leave me alone. Do tell.”
“This is my world. Only I can rule here.”
“We know no one can rule without there being fear.”
“Fear makes these human turds get in line.”
“Besides, it is such fun. Is that a crime?”
“They don’t know I can track their asses.”
“They can’t sneak up on me. They are slow as molasses.”
“Next time they come, I’ll have a surprise for them.”
“I have made a golem that looks like me, not them.”
“It is programmed to give them hell untold.”
“If they try to kill it, a surprise will unfold.”
“They will be sorry they tried to attack me.”
“They will suffer greatly, just wait and see.”
In the meantime the five were hatching a plan.
They wanted to capture ‘Fake’ Kronos, if they can.
They had somewhere where it needed to go.
Getting it there would be quite a show.
They finalized all & they were ready.
They could pull this off. Slow and steady.
They zapped to the castle, but it wasn’t there.
It was out in this large field somewhere.
Exactly what it was doing, they couldn’t be sure.
They zapped there and it was bent over , as it were.
What was it doing? It looked like it was praying
Could this be? It doesn’t have a soul, were saying.
They approached with a change of plans.
They would capture it, if they can.
They were almost upon it & it turned around.
From its eyes, tears were coming down.
“Kill me. I can no longer live with myself.”
They knew exactly just how it felt.
“We can do no such thing.”
“Come with us and peace will come.”
“I said kill me now!! You stinking scum!!”
“Something here is just not right.” Kronos said
“Look! There is some kind of writing on its head.”
“This is not ‘Fake’ Kronos. This is a golem!”
“Zap away now, before it gets something going.”
Away they all did go, leaving no one for the show.
‘Fake’ Kronos was so mad it killed the golem itself.
Half the field exploded, giving ‘Fake’ Kronos a hell of a belt.
It knocked it ass over tea kettle.
As luck would have it, it was far enough away to not mettle.
All that was hurt was just its pride.
Plus a few scrapings on its tough hide.
The five weren’t aware of what transpired.
All they knew was ‘Fake’ Kronos was really wired.
“It had to know somehow that we were coming.”
“We can’t sneak up on it. Anything less is unbecoming.”
Exactly what they will plan to do next
will be revealed in the upcoming text.
Getting rid of ‘Fake’ Kronos will be no easy task.
None of them knew how long it would last.

——————————————————-R.W. Johnson—–(2019)

The Chronicles Of Kronos Volume III Chapter Five

They all discussed exactly what they would do.
‘The Shadow’ explained all that he knew.
He told them of Frankenstein’s history.
Also of Egor’s part in this mystery.
“It makes sense for ‘Fake’ Kronos to be the monster.”
“Using the in between I can be the monster’s sponsor.”
“Taking away its memory before it leaves
will make sure its memory isn’t retrieved.”
“The time shift will keep all as it was when it left.”
“Egor can remember, but its creation will not. It’s set.”
“Egor will be happy to use his creation as Frankenstein’s”
“He won’t tell him because he wants Frankenstein
to favor him by correcting his hump back.”
“The final result will be the end of that.”
Kronos said “It sounds like a plan. I approve.”
All the rest fell into the groove.
The only problem came with putting the spell on it.
‘Fake’ Kronos isn’t going to cooperate a single bit.
They planned on attacking it from several sides.
Giving Anathea a chance to work her vibes.
They all traveled to the castle in mass.
They hoped to catch ‘Fake’ Kronos sitting on its ass.
But, fate was not on their side.
‘Fake’ Kronos was, somehow, ready to protect its hide.
They all surrounded it, as planned.
Each sending out a spell, as fast as they can.
‘Fake’ Kronos responded with astounding speed.
Repelling each spell as fast as its need.
Yet, it still had time to send some spells of its own.
Each of them were feeling it, down to the bone.
They weren’t expecting such a defense.
They were forced to withdraw for their own defense.
They worked out a better strategy.
They then returned, but were mad to see.
‘Fake’ Kronos had brought in help.
All its warlocks & witches, who hit below the belt.
After a terrific battle that almost wrecked the place.
The five were forced to withdraw again in haste.
The only thing they all heard after.
Was the sound of ‘Fake’ Kronos’s laughter.
Their plan was falling apart at the seams.
They would need a totally different theme.
What would they come up with to pull it off?
Stay tuned. We all Know ‘Fake’ Kronos is getting wroth.

The Chronicles Of Kronos Volume III Chapter Four

Once back in heaven, Kronos discussed his plan.
“We need to bring in Anika to help us, if we can.”
“Are you sure about this?” Asglow said, alarmed.
“Of course I am. I wasn’t raised down on the farm.”
They contacted Anika and told her what was going on.
“What? This ‘fake’ Kronos is disrupting? Is this a con?”
“No, it is not a con.” They explained it all to her.
“You want me to fight him? How will this occur?”
This was all something totally new to her.
“You have your spear, or lance.”
“Use it, if you get the chance.”
“Wait a minute” ‘The Shadow’ interrupted.
“If she uses that, the results will be disruptive.”
“Remember, you created a spell that would reverse the effects.”
“’Fake’ Kronos knows that spell. It would reverse the lance’s effect.
“That’s right” Kronos said. “I had forgotten about that.”
Anika said “There may be a way around all that”
“What do you mean. Tell us some more.”
“I got the lance from someone in the great war.”
“The one who used it to kill your father, Kronos.”
That was a statement that hurt Kronos the most.
“She is here. A member of heaven to.”
“Kronos, I didn’t mean to upset you.”
“All is forgiven now. Different world. Different time.”
“Thank you so very much for being so kind.”
“Anyhow, how do you think she could help?”
“ She knows ancient magic. It is quite a wealth.”
“She knows the history of the lance. She had it first.”
“She may know other stuff to quench our thirst.”
“Let’s go visit her and see if she could help.”
“She is sweet enough, she could make your heart melt.”
They found Anathea working in her garden.
They said they had come, but it wasn’t to bargain.
They explained everything to her.
Told her what would happen, should use of the lance occur.
They asked if she had any ideas?
Hopefully, something they knew could free us.
Anathea said “You say ‘Fake’ Kronos doesn’t have a soul?”
“That is correct, and it is real quick to let you know.”
“That makes a real difficult problem.”
“It probably can’t be killed. That we must solve then.”
“I have one idea that might help some.”
“It is a spell that would make it forget where it came from.”
“With a little tweaking, It would forget magic.”
“But, it wouldn’t be a permanent fix. That would be tragic.”
They all drew a blank for a while as to how it would help.
Then ‘The Shadow’ said “There is something that I once felt.”
“Do you remember where Egor, its creator, was sent?”
“Well, I know exactly where he was sent.”
“Into the future. Well your future, not mine.”
“The future would make a difference due to the change in time.”
“ I could take it there by going in the in between.”
“Leave it there, where it could cause a scene.”
“But first, take away its memory.”
“Let it be Frankenstein’s monster. Perfect for Henry.”
“What? What exactly is that?” Kronos said.
“It is part of my history. Enough said.”
“I don’t understand, but I trust you.”
“Then, all we have to do is to see it through.”
They started making plans with Anathea.
She agreed to help. In the end, they had to agree, ya.
What they planned and how they will pull it off
is something to be told later. Pardon my cough.
We will check back in later to see how it’s going.
Hopefully, things will go right on flowing.

The Chronicles Of Kronos Volume III Chapter Three

As ‘Fake’ Kronos continued to spread terror all around,
the three heavenly amigos were earthly bound.
They immediately returned to Kronos’s castle.
They would try to talk to it, without any hassle.
‘Fake’ Kronos was there when they popped into view.
That is everyone except ‘The Shadow.’ Who knew?
“What the hell?? What are you scumbags doing here?”
“I thought all of you were dead. Guess that’s not clear.”
“No, were alive. We came to talk to you.”
“Like hell you did.—– I am no fool.”
As Kronos tried to explain why they were there,
he was suddenly elevated into the air.
Then slammed back down to the floor.
‘Fake’ Kronos chuckled. Then laughed some more.
It was about to do more when Kronos acted.
Pointed his wand , then over reacted.
He had ‘Fake’ Kronos standing on its head.
Then flipped it over & had it play dead.
“Enough parlor games!!” ‘Fake’ Kronos roared.
“What the hell are you nincompoops here for?”
“We want you to change your ways.” Asglow said.
“Quit killing & harassing the humans.” He said.
‘’Fake’ Kronos laughed. “No way in hell!”
“I do what I want, when I want. I do it well.”
“I was created to live forever.” It said.
“It’s my world now, till all are dead.”
“Try and stop me and you will lose.”
“ I can make the pain last a long time, if you choose.”
With that ‘Fake’ Kronos vanished before their sight.
They all knew they were in for a hell of a fight.
They traced ‘Fake’ Kronos to a small village.
Kronos hit it with wizard fire before it could pillage.
‘Fake’ Kronos pulled out a cigarette & lit it off the fire.
The fire not penetrating its shield. They had to admire.
Then Asglow joined in with fire of his own.
“A little more heat on the back” it said with a groan.
‘Fake’ Kronos sent out a lightning bolt
It had them jumping like a young colt.
Suddenly, ‘Fake’ Kronos was wrapped in magical rope.
It came from nowhere. Tight enough to make it croak.
It mumbled some words & managed to break lose .
“Did you think I was done for, like a goose?”
‘Fake’ Kronos laughed and spun a web.
The web flew toward them, then went over their heads.
The web flew back again, like it was a fad.
It covered ‘Fake’ Kronos and made it mad.
The web burned away and fell like ashes.
Then it took off, like super fast dashes.
‘Fake’ Kronos moved with incredible speed.
It went into a store where they sold seed.
It immediately appeared again with a child.
“Back off, or what I do to it won’t be mild.”
Kronos & Asglow immediately disappeared.
‘The Shadow’ didn’t leave, or so it appeared.
‘The Shadow’ kept track of what it did next.
In case it tried to hurt the child, He would vex.
It flung the child aside and then it was gone.
‘The Shadow’ followed. Nothing went wrong.
‘Fake’ Kronos paced and ranted in its castle.
‘The Shadow didn’t give it a hassle.
‘The Shadow’ zapped off to join Kronos & Asglow.
“This is going to be a tough one” Kronos said.
“Just don’t let it get inside your head.”
“Remember it thinks just like you do.”
“For it is virtually an evil version of you.”
“Egor used positive & negative magic in its creation.
“Creating something that has no nation.”
Asglow said “It is a monster all to itself.”
“We have to come up with something else.”
Kronos said “I think I have an idea about that.”
“Back to heaven to build a better mouse trap.”
What exactly was Kronos talking about?
It has to be something with a lot of clout.
Tune in again to find out what it is.
I hope his new idea doesn’t fizz.

The Chronicles Of Kronos Volume III Chapter Two

‘Fake’ Kronos put its plan into action.
It would push it through, without any retractions.
Representatives were sent to all corners of the earth.
Human pipsqueaks. That’s all they were worth.
But, with promises, not intending to keep.
It got their cooperation without a squeak.
They declared it the New Emperor Of Earth.
All would pay 10% of their worth.
Immediately, they were ridiculed or jailed.
‘Fake’ Kronos would then come & see them impaled.
Meaning those who didn’t believe its messengers.
All knew they had fallen under a wreck less curse.
In a matter of months, it ruled the whole world.
Every country learned to give it herald.
All persons with magical gifts came to it.
It made them rulers under it.
“Feel free to torture, kill, & maim whoever you like.”
“Show the peons your powers with all your might.”
The whole earth became a living hell.
Complaining did no good. There was no one to tell.
The people moaned and cried out in their agony.
They cried out to heaven. Yelling “Why me?”
“How long must we suffer under this monsters rule?”
“If we sinned, we beg for forgiveness. Were no fools.”
Many, many times people tried to kill the vile thing
resulting in the most horrible deaths it could bring.
‘Fake’ Kronos loved for them to try.
It was all entertainment in its eye.
One knight tried to impale him with a sword.
‘Fake’ Kronos boiled him in his armor, like a gourd.
It also forced people to do foul, disgusting things.
Usually in public, just to hear the screams.
It spewed out verbal vomit upon its subjects.
A foul, vile mouthed animal in public.
It banned all churches and any form of religion.
“Only I can be worshipped.” It wasn’t kiddin.
‘Fake’ Kronos knew what God had done to it in the past.
Lately, it felt like it wanted to beat God’s ass.
Its blasphemy reached to the very gates of heaven.
God called together Kronos & Asglow for leaven.
God said the vile ‘Fake’ Kronos must be stopped.
“I will send you two to earth to get it to stop.”
They asked that ‘The Shadow’ be allowed to come.
God agreed. “You can bring anyone.”
What they will do when they reach earth?
We will wait. Then see what the wait was worth.

—————————————————R.W. Johnson—–(2019)

The Chronicles Of Kronos Volume III Chapter One

The first thing ‘fake’ Kronos decided to do
was to send the local villagers to school.
Not a school of higher learning, you see.
But, a school of hard knocks. See them flee.
It immediately laid down the law to them.
“You’ll pay me taxes. It won’t be a whim.”
“You’ll do exactly what I tell you to do.”
“If you don’t, I’ll make a crispy critter out of you.”
As proof, it burned a couple of them to ash.
Then dumped their remains in the local trash.
The villagers were shaking in their boots.
One objected. It ripped her hair out by the roots.
‘Fake’ Kronos laughed a big belly laugh.
“Anymore objections?” “Don’t give me any sass.”
“I’ll be back to collect in a week. Be ready.”
“10% of all you have. Don’t try to be petty.”
With that, ‘fake’ Kronos was gone.
Back to its castle. But, not for long.
Soon, it did a repeat performance in another village.
Same demands, along with what it could pillage.
It had fun boiling the blood of someone.
While the blood was still in their body, for fun.
It liked to see people cower and squirm.
It made others crawl through cow shit, like a worm.
It laughed at their suffering & had a ball.
It made it feel like it was ten feet tall.
A more vile creature, the world had never known.
And, over time, it only got worse, it was shown.
It would experiment with new magical spells.
Always on the innocent, with tragic results. No quells.
The people offered sacrifices to be left alone.
It said “No.”, then kill them. The people would moan.
‘Fake’ Kronos would laugh and laugh.
Then yell “You all stink!! Take a bath!”
‘Fake’ Kronos prided itself on new & different ways
to torture the people and make them slaves.
It wasn’t above killing babies.
It would do it without any maybes.
It spread its reign of terror over larger areas of land.
Some villages tried to fight, but were destroyed to the man.
Word of the creature & its monstrous ways
spread across all the land in a few days.
It was a dark time in the history of man.
They said it couldn’t be killed. Try if you can.
‘Fake’ Kronos sang, as it fixed a sandwich for lunch.
A bloody piece of meat on which it did munch.
Things were well. But, they could be better.
It had plans to be Emperor Of Earth. Much better.
It would take a little while to plan.
Might as well have all the fun it can.
It looks like there will be no end to this reign of terror.
Is there not a hero alive in the world anywhere?
We will check back again a little later.
To see what we can learn as a spectator.

The Chronicles Of Kronos Volume III Preface

The so called ‘fake’ Kronos does exist.
It was created by Egor using magic bliss.
He had a drop of Kronos’s blood to use.
He could create a duplicate he would use.
The problem with creating such a curse.
The creature had no soul. That made it worse.
It was as nasty as Kronos ever could be.
Even worse, with no conscience, don’t you see.
It had no love for any other.
It had no sister, not even a brother.
It was a singular, vile thing.
A creature from hell, without any wings.
In general appearance, it looked like Kronos.
It had the memories and mind of Kronos.
But, it had no internal controls.
Evil was all its mind would hold.
It was cast into outer darkness by God himself.
Alone, & in utter darkness, it did dwell.
Till Phase III was activated by Satan himself.
It created a vacuum reaching where it dwelt.
A vacuum in the magical flux.
A vacuum that drew it back to earth in a rush.
Back to its castle, to exist once more.
Back where it was created, in all its lore.
It recognized the place when it did arrive.
No one was there that was alive.
It had no idea what had happened there.
There were ashes spread around everywhere.
It did some cussing & stomping around.
Then, it saw something on the ground.
A book lying there caught its eye.
The History Of Kronos Since He Did Die.
It read it from beginning to end.
It seemed to know, this was the end.
“Not for me’, it thought to itself.
“Now I can raise hell & gather wealth.”
It sent out a searching eye.
By way of a pigeon that caught its eye.
Through a fast concocted spell.
It could see through the bird’s eyes very well.
It commanded the bird to fly around.
Humans were still living, it had found.
‘I will rule them with an iron hand.’
‘I will rule in every land.’
‘There is nothing to stop me now.’
‘I will be the only master here somehow.’
‘I just might make myself their god.’
‘Kronos The Mighty!! Now that’s not odd!!’
So fake Kronos planned its reign of terror.
It would rip ass everywhere.
No one was here to stop it now.
It would become a sacred cow.
‘I was created to live for eternity.’
‘From now on Kronos is all they will see.’
This meant a trouble like there never was.
The inhabitants of earth cried to God, because,
they knew nowhere else to turn.
It was a hard lesson for them to learn.
Stay tuned to see what transpires.
‘Fake’ Kronos will become a real live wire.
