How could this be? I thought.

‘I’ll tell you, ‘Trainee-Dancer!’ He said.

Not again, I thought.

‘Yes, fool.’

‘What are we going to do with you?’ I said.

‘Nothing, because now, fool, you will be completely unable to do anything. You have been lucky up to now, Trainee. Can’t you see I am vastly more experienced than you? Look where we are!’

Kallo was now holding out his arms in a gesture of self-assured arrogance. ‘I brought you here to prove I can reach the higher regions. Did you think I was limited to the lower planes?’

My head was starting to ache, how could this be? I was in the astral, mental, or one of the higher regions and I didn’t know which, with the worst villain in the Universe! I have to get myself together, I thought. Is Kallo trying to control me or my mind, or my spirit? One thing I know is I am in a place that disrupts my whole being, and Kallo knows it! All I wanted to do was have a peaceful time on a higher plane.

‘You are going to be here for a very long time,’ said Kallo.

‘I’m getting really fed up with this, Kallo.’ I said.

Suddenly it went very dark, and the landscape changed.

I was now in a very dark, depressing, and eerie place. OK, I thought could Kallo be trying to bluff me once again! My conscious mind was telling me that I was somewhere in the higher

regions, but my inner self was saying no! One thing was for sure, Kallo was having a serious effect on me.

‘Don’t worry, Dan, I’m here.’

God, I was glad to hear Debra’s voice. I was then aware of Mannus!

The place was filled with the brightest light. Kallo was nowhere to be found. I then realized I was only on the 36th level of the astral plane! How could it be? I thought. Debra said Kallo

is very good at influencing people. He has had a lot of practice at it.

‘What was he trying to prove?’ I said.

‘He was hoping you would believe you were on a higher level then he would try to alter your consciousness.’

‘Is that possible?’ I said.

‘Yes, don’t forget you are in one of his planes, you were also in a state of disbelief. The mind can believe it is anywhere.’

But I would have eventually found out.’

‘Yes, but that could have taken a very long time. I believe Kallo is trying to get you out of the way for a while. You were on a sort of beautiful dream trip, and unprepared. I suggest you put into cold storage your beautiful dreams for a while.’

You are right, Debra, ‘I’ve always had a weakness for beautiful places.’

I know, Dan, as I am part of you, I know what you know.’

‘I am eternally grateful to you, Debra; you have certainly proved that you can protect me and anyone else.’

‘I only want to protect you, Dan. Would you like to dance?’

‘Why not, what type of dance?’ I said.

‘I know what you like,’ she said, ‘Disco.’
