There are many scientists that have paved the way to our understanding of those early years of Earth’s beginning. We should be grateful to those many scientists in the fields of geology, archeology, anthropology, and astronomy who have labored, both in the field, and in the laboratories, to collect, organize, identify, and try to name those fragments of our past and those sightings through their telescopes. Earth scientists have solid substance to collect, analyze, and dissect. Even anthropologists and archeologists have a world of data in all the diggings throughout the world. But, all is not so concrete and established as some would have you believe. They too have argued and see-sawed their theories back and forth as new data comes in and the old is thrown out. The scientist also has many varied speculations of the missing parts to our puzzle of early times.

I thank them for this wealth of knowledge. As an artist, I have the liberty to study this information, digest it, turn it around, upside down, play games with it, and produce a work of my own imagination, one I hope will give hours of enjoyment and entertainment. The artist speculates on these ideas much differently than the analytical scientist. The scientists by their own training and nature are linear thinkers, that is, they use their time putting their data together for presentation and approval in a forward path, usually never looking from side to side. It is not in their interests to see the rest of the world with all its wonders. An artist, who is a peripheral thinker, see the world as 360° and all that is in it. The artist can make believe, expand on substances, theories, and on age old myths and tales. I thank the Good Lord that He has given us both the linear, analytical mind and the peripheral creative mind, for without both, the world would truly suffer.

INTRODUCTION

In the ice age, before men had time to sit and think, there were these men of survival. These men of survival were men of the North Camp, the land of Feriandimal. What was this special place where men dare to survive the ultimate diversities? It was a special place that nature set aside for human existence. A place in the frozen tundra where usually no one survives. It was different with these Icemen, for they had survived in caves thousands of years before the great tragedy that catapulted a large chunk of Earth into another dimension.

Our story begins with the ice men sound asleep in their cave. Then a tremendous explosion happened on Earth. A large asteroid hits Earth, causing such interruption of normal life, that the Earth’s life forms would take thousands of years to recover. This was not the only catastrophe, for unknown to history, a gigantic eruption of forces caused a large part of the Earth to transcend into another dimension called Dimensia 4. It all started with a series of geo-magnetic forces colliding together and causing such a disruption that this large entity of matter, broke forth into space, and planted itself into another dimension. Most living creatures did not survive this catastrophic explosion, but those, either strong enough or sheltered in caves, were fortunate enough to survive. There were other creatures that also escaped. Some helped feed these brave men and others that will unfold in our story. Every creature, big and small, strong and weak, that survived, was ultimately mutated and transformed into new and different species.

Dimensia 4 existed for hundreds of thousands of years, ever evolving and changing into what was present when our story takes place. The men that evolved were even stronger and survived even more than men on Earth. These men were strong and resilient, not only to weather, but the strength and cunning of their predators. They fought off many large beasts and killed many of them for survival. They were, in fact, so extra ordinary, that Theasium took notice from high in his realm and sent his special wizards to come to their aid.

Not all was right with the Age of Icemen. These men were sheltered from the mainstream of the humanity in all the galaxies. Because of this, they were far behind other cultures of many planets. So Theasium not only sent his wizards to aid them but gave the wizards a challenge. He spoke to the High Council of Wizards saying, My good and loyal Stewards, as you know, I gave you word that you are to help these strong resilient Age of Icemen advance and catch up to the rest of cultures in our great domain. They are pure and innocent, living in harmony with the laws of Nature and in conformity with the principles of the Highest Being of the Universe. But that is not enough, soon some other alien outsider will stumble upon them and they will be victims of their own innocence. I therefore command you to find some way to upgrade and bring these people into a cultural level where they will be equals if not better. It is up to you how you are to do this, but I give you two millenniums to carry this out. With those words, Theasium left the wizards to carry out their mission.

The wizards spent much time planning and developing a strategy to help these people. Finally after many sessions and debate, Trolldar came up with the solution. Place the Glowing Ball of Knowledge in a cave and lead them to it as necessary. This will shorten the time of advancement into the modern world by eons.

INTRODUCTION (continued)

nominated Do-o-magnicent to carry out the task and Trolldar would watch their movement and growth as a people. And so it was that Do-o-magnicent planted the Glowing Ball of Knowledge and alerted the Age of Icemen’s leader to where it was and Trolldar moved in to watch their ever movement.

PROLOGUE

In the first book, Coming Of the Way, Trolldar enlisted the Mountain Trail Alliance to help him stop the evil forces from over running Dimensia 4. He tricked the Alliance into following him into another dimension, namely, Dimensia 4. He did this by attaching himself to the dreams of an artist, named Hedley Hoffman, who was clairvoyant and inadvertently got Trolldar’s image in his mind and became obsessive in his pursuit to carve his head as a part of his walking cane.

Trolldar takes the Alliance through Mystic 3 passage, into Dimensia 4. Here, along with the key leader from Etudadorma, to acquaint them of the seriousness of what the evil forces were doing, led by Doomagnon and his henchman, Baulstar.

After the tour and signing of the Pledge of the Freedom fighters’ Oath, Trolldar takes them back to Earth, where he promises them in their dreams and spare moments alone, he will fill their minds with the history and updates of Dimensia 4.

Our story begins with Trolldar’s history lesson number one. His lesson starts with the story of the Ancient Ones, who discover a glowing ball and are propelled into a higher state of knowledge. These northern people of Feriandimal, are called the Age of Icemen. This glowing ball possesses their mind and they are driven to travel to the Middle Kingdom which later, they call the Promised Land. It is here that they are reacquainted with a second glowing ball, that they now call, the Glowing Ball of Knowledge. This ball is planted by the High Order of Wizards, by order of Theasium (see Introduction in book one, Coming of the Way).

The contact of this glowing ball, a second time, thrusts them forward into an advanced state of cultural growth in religion, government, housing, arts, scientific and mathematical insights, and domestication and agriculture. As, with many, great societies, this accelerated social and economic growth led some to become greedy, envious, and hungry for power.

Doomagnon, who formally was called Do-o-magnicent for his supreme leadership in the High Council of Wizards, also falls victim to greed, power, and corruption. He then convincing Baulstar into becoming an evil dictator. Now, Baulstar in his new role, sees himself as the emperor of all Dimensia 4. His destiny is to capture and enslave all the people, by using his deranged and mutated Vulcomons as his enslavers. His final and glorious goal is the capturing of Etudadorma, and therefore, all of Dimensia 4.

Let us now begin with Trolldar’s history lesson of Dimensia 4.

PART ONE: AGE OF ICE

CHAPTER ONE: ANCIENT MAN AWAKES

In the days of ice, before men had time to relax and think about themselves, there were these sur-vivalists in the land called Feriandimal. Every minute had to be spent in finding food, keeping warm, or protecting themselves from the many large and vicious predators. It was a survival time of either kill or be killed. Dimensia 4 went through warm and cool cycles much like earth and now it was in a gradual warming cycle. The ice melted in many regions and the South became lush with vegetation and wild life. The rains were bountiful, and with the ideal temperatures, it became a paradise for all living creatures.

Back in Feriandimal there lived four young Age of Ice adventurers from the southern Camp of Feriandimal, became discontent with life as their fathers knew it. They ventured south, through the mountains and past the ice fields, into this land of paradise. The sun was warm on their backs as they ventured further into this lush land. Soon they had to shed all their winter skin clothing and bathe in the warmth of this sun.

Leaving the mountains, they traveled into the valley floor where they found lush trees and bushes that were filled with delicious nuts and fruit. They saw and caught wild life that was in abundance everywhere they went. They also became aware that they were the only inhabitants in this entire region. They were so overjoyed with their find that they quickly returned to report their good news.

They went straight to the Council of Hunters with their findings. These tribal leaders set themselves up as spokesmen for all of the families in the South Camp. Ohnik, one of the family group leaders from Lochness, was known for his strength and cunning valor. He was so much wiser than the other hunters that he became leader of the Council of Hunters. The Adventurers told of the warm climate, the beauty and lushness there. They discussed this new event over and over amongst themselves. I will call a meeting of the Council after we have discussed this with our families.

Ohnik,s son, Kuballar, was one of the Adventurers. When they got back to their family cave, Ohnik asked him all kinds of questions and Kuballar gave him a detailed story of the entire trip. That night the whole family gathered around the fire and listened as Kuballar spoke over and over about the beauty and lushness of this new land they had found. He spoke of the plentiful game, the fruit and nuts and to make it more inviting, they found no other inhabitants living there.

That night Ohnik could not sleep. He spent the entire night thinking about what the Adventurers had told them. In the morning he talked this over with his wife, Renick. This was not normal for a caveman, but Ohnik had become a changed man over this last year. He was more considerate of others, particularly his family. She asked him a lot of questions, but in the end, agreed with him. He told Kuballar of their discussion. That night, around the fire, he stood before the fire and spoke, What my son, Kuballar, here, has told us, is so exciting that I have made up my mind. We are leaving this family cave and moving to this new land. Ohnik thought there would be resistance to his idea, but instead the family got up and started to dance around the fire shouting, Upah! Wishuga! Upah! Wishuga. He smiled and shook his head in approval and then said, Nusea hence I will call a meeting of the Council of Hunters and tell them of my decision.

The next morning he sent his son Kuballar and some of the other family member’s sons to go out and informed the other Council members of his planned meeting. They all showed up at the appointed time. Ohnik went before the ritual fire and spoke, I have discussed the Adventurers’ story with my cave families. They were all excited about this new land, so I have made up my mind, my family will leave our cave and travel to this new land. Go to your caves and discuss this with your families and as the nusea rises, Ohnik picked up a stick and drew seven circles in the dirt, and continued, I urge all of you to come back at this designated time, but those that do, I will expect you and your families to travel with me. They all left and went back to their respective caves.

As the days went by, there was much discussion, both pro and con, for Ohnik’s adventure. Those that were not always so successful in the past years in their hunting adventures and some of the families suffered and had bad blood between them. They did not trust Ohnik or anyone else. It was their way. They would sooner land a club on a person than trust in him. Many were suspicious of anything new and thought all new ideas came from evil places. There were many others, however, that had been on many successful hunts with Ohnik and listened to his wise advice. These hunters had always done better. They had avoided internal family fights. Young sons no longer killed or drove out their fathers in order to take over the leadership. There was plenty of food, thanks to Kuballar’s clever inventions of the snare and the development of the bone hook to catch fish. Even the women were treated different. They no longer were beaten by their dominant males to keep them in line. Ohnik taught them that a family leader could get their families to do much more with a strange new word that Ohnik introduced to them, love. He showed them by putting his arms around his wife, Renick and giving her a hug. Then he told them that he had assigned her to be leader of the household cave. He further reported that she did a better job than he did and he had more time for hunting and his leadership role. Some of his followers had tried it and found out how successful it was. Many of these family leaders grew strong respect and admiration for Ohnik. Six nuseas came and went and Ohnik, became apprehensive about who would show up. After all, he said to Kuballar, This is a much bigger decision than a hunting trip. If some do not want to go then I will understand. Don’t worry, was Kuballar’s reply, "they will all be there. You are a strong leader, and besides, in our story, we told of the beauty and pleasure to be found in this new land, surely
