Contacts with the terrestrial beings. He met with the chief of the terrestrial beings, which is

Hydra-headed in nature governing the island. The meeting with this being was a rare one, as

He has to fight with the terrestrial being. After hours of fighting with the being and the being

Could not overcome him, the being asks of what he would like him to do for him. Then he

Replies that he wants to be named among the powerful beings of his days and time. What you

Have asked for is a not a difficult one but the difficult aspect of it, the hydra-headed being

Replied him is how he will maintain the power that would be bestowed on him. Many a

One has been given power, but only few have been able to maintain the power he stated to

Person that is easily pushed to the wall, easily angered, but since this is the requirement to

Stay at the top, he promises to do that to stay at the top ever like few of the ancient

Founders of the island whose stories he has heard from the elderly ones within the island. As

You are making a promise to do this, consider everything you have asked for done unto you,

Yea some of the things that you have not asked for would come along thine path because

Associated with the power that you will being to exercise from thenceforth is blessings,

Honor, promotion, and glory. You therefore need to know that you have been empowered

With great power of the gods of the island and whatsoever thou touch, the gods have touched, anyone whom you are annoyed with, the gods are annoyed with the person, all the war that you shall be going to from thenceforth consider it that you have won those wars, this

Is because I am the chief of the gods of this territory and nothing can be done without my involvement by the gods, any of the gods who wants to go against my wish shall be dethroned and disappointed. Since you have become mine today, you will surely be

Overcoming all enemies irrespective of their locations in as long as continue to keep to the end of thine bargain he emphatically stated as he disappears from his presence. He was elated to hear this touched the ground and his chest thrice, saying that his heart should receive
