Whom is where?

  During the same tamacore as the mouse and the raccoon were making a grand entry of their own into the Jellow world. The raccoon’s dad had also arrived from ruby ring’s vortex to enter into another part of this world. Through what was an unexpected septimo macron journey for him to entry out of the ruby ring’s vortex on the other side getting casting down through the passing lightness cover on a free-falling plummet with a volume of air rushing over his body from head to toe so powerful. That, even the expression of fear upon his face rippled! with the manifested air pressure forcing his mouth wide open, and his cheeks to flap in what was sure to be a most unpleasant landing upon the ground below.

ARRRR! cried out the Raccoon’s dad; seeing the ground below rushing towards him at a very fast pace. With thoughts of what was facing him to surely become his own tragic stories ending.

  Tho, little did he know his landing was going to change his whole view on life as he went splashing head prima with so much force into the soft orange surface sinking all the way down to his waist. Where he at quondam began kicking and clawing away at the jellow spongy substance in a fight for freedom that only left him sinking down near neck deep as he used up so much energy trying to work his way out, before he was unable to fight it no more and stopped to rest. It was during that tamacore his weary mind began to think of ways he might get out of this. When the weight of his body pulled him down under to be gasping for air over the next duo macrons that followed and drifted off into a deep sleep. Fortunately for the raccoon’s dad as his near lifeless body rested in the jellow sponge encasing him, his body began to level out into a position that had him stretched lying flat upon his back and he began to rise up to the surface of the jellow resting out in the open of this strange new world under the changing hexcron passing into a very cold darkness that revived him.

  Coughing and trying to regain some kind of stability within himself after the sudden frightening landing ordeal he had experienced. All he could see were images in his mind circling around and around in his dazed state feeling uncertain over what had happened during the macron’s events as he lay staring up into the fading passing lightness cover witnessing the entry of his son and the mouse unknowingly. Whose sphere was shooting across the passing lightness cover leaving a fiery trail behind, that he had no idea about at that tamacore. Since all that had been happening around him had appear as if he was in some kind of bizarre passing lightness dream at that tamacore. Before losing all strength to stay awake and drifted back off into recovery sleep with the departing vision before his eyes of the sphere carrying the mouse and the raccoon disappearing from his view in a continuing journey of its own whistling through the air heading for an unsettled landing plummeting back down toward the ground somewhere, carrying the objective of the raccoon’s dad along with it the quest he had set out on right before his eyes.

Whilst leaving a smoke streamed fiery trail behind coming off the searing red hot fire riding out from under the spheres bottom
