Three years have now passed since Gallob and his family returned home from Wales. King Roy of Wales had officially named Gallob and his family the golden sword of Wales. Now that King Roy is ruler of the kingdom of Wales, he was a king of peace, prosperity, wisdom, and love. He loved his wife, Queen Alicia and would do anything for her. Their relationship was an example of true love to many people in the kingdom. Queen Alicia was seven months pregnant and was very excited that Sir Chariot, their son, is going to have a brother or sister soon in the royal family. Recently the queen could not sleep during the night, therefore, King Roy ordered Troubadours, Trouveres and Minstrels who were poets and musicians in the kingdom for aid. They were able to help the queen fall to sleep with poetry and playing music, but during her sleep time she also had some bad dreams about the kingdom invasion and became afraid. She did not want the king to know and decided to stay in her chamber much of the day. One evening before dinner, Queen Alicia was in her chamber looking in the mirror with a few months left before expecting birth. Then she started searching for her gown that she has not seen for months now. She needed it to wear due to her pregnancy. She could not find anything and decided to look in an attic deep in the wardrobe of the lady’s chamber. She stepped on her stool and looked on the shelves, but did not find it. She also looked in a case with clothing and she became frustrated. She then remembered a storage wooden barrel on the shelf hidden in the closet of her chamber. She quickly entered the closet looking for the barrel. The barrel was placed on the third shelve to hide something hidden long ago. Behind the barrel was a lever. She approached the storage and stretched out her arms on the side of the barrel to lift the clips on both sides of the barrel. While reaching for the clips she accidently lifted the lever. Suddenly a small door opened from the back of the shelves. She was very curious and in fear. She peaked, and looked, but could not see anything. She then tried to push the barrel to the side. She looked again and saw a box with the images of the instruments, spirits, and a cross. In the box were scrolls, books, and written notes from previous noblemen, knights, and crusaders from Wales. Since she was pregnant, she couldn’t go in through the door. She called a few of her maids and told them to pull the box out of the room. After the box was taken out of the small room, she asked the maids to leave.

I wonder what is in this box?, she asked. She then opened it and an image appeared in the large mirror in the lady’s chamber and a voice was heard and said,

Here lies the truth of the kingdom. Instruments of the spiritual and the natural world will be revealed. The instruments were from the seven founders of this kingdom. Beyond your understanding and imagination is He who reconciled the love from the two realms within the two kingdoms. He is the truth and the love hidden in the temple and is alive forever more. The instruments of the external world are transparent in mirrors. But, be alert and in peace for only the children from the seven crusaders can retrieve these instruments and save this kingdom and the generations to come. You must find the external instruments before the internal instruments. Without the external instruments the city will not be revealed and without the internal instruments, there will be no access to the internal furnace that never dies. The Truth is that the internal instruments are from the eternal furnace. With the instruments within the eternal furnace, glory will manifest from the external instruments. You will comprehend this when it is time.

The queen was in awe and started looking through the box. There was one significant scroll that she found. It was made of gold and she quickly pulled it out. It was written by King Blair that once he dies, he ordered the black knights to take his son Roy into the dungeons. Once the instruments are found, King Blair ask that Roy be thrown into the river and eaten by the beast. She was in shock. She wondered why did the king ordered his knights to do this. She also found another scroll deep in the box made of silver. It was written from a sorcerer in the woods of the village Georges. She carefully opened it, read it and heard a voice that said

On the scroll it was written that a promise was made to the king that if the lost city of the golden instruments is found, the sorcerer will take the golden instruments to rule over the kingdom and use black magic and demonic force to rule the world. The kingdom will then become a death trap. Then she found a black scroll that she has never seen before. She took it with fear, opened it and she could not believe what was written. On the scroll it reads that three years will pass and in the year of the newborn, evil shall be released into the world from a more wickedness dungeon of demons. Many will die for the evil force will enter into the natural realm to devour those without the truth in their hearts. Mercy shall come upon the land from the powerful instrument of the universe. That instrument within is the word of God. This demonic force will spread throughout the world in generations to come, but you who have read this scroll is one that is chosen to spread the good news of salvation. He who lives by the force of this dungeon will be in deception, chaos, and confusion of the real truth. He who knows the truth will be set free. No demons from the dungeons shall ever rule their lives or steal their souls to eternal damnation. But, the love from the invisible, eternal furnace is what permits man that whatever he encounters in his life, he has the freedom of choice to believe what he wants and how to live his life. Warning to you who have read this scroll. Now go and send for your kingdom to find those who were born for this very purpose of this spiritual warfare for now the demonic forces of pure evil will soon be unleashed out of the dungeons to kill, steal, and destroy this world.

Within a second the ground trembled and people across Wales did not know what happened. Then the queen burst into tears for several minutes. Her maids did not hear her. She then closed her eyes and believed in the truth. The spirit of God spoke to the heart of Queen Alicia and she gave her life to Christ and had faith in Him. Suddenly the scroll turned into dust. Queen Alicia stood and then she looked in the mirror again to see the growth of her womb after seven months. When she looked, it was not her image. She could not see anything in the mirror. She then wiped her eyes with a soft white cloth after her tears. She looked again and then saw an image of the furnace. She thought she was about to have the baby with such a sight. The queen quickly went to King Roy, Sir Chariot, Sir Jalo, and Sir Delo, who were in the Great Hall and told them what had happened.

My lord, I found several majestic scrolls in a large box hidden in a small room within my chamber. These scrolls were given to King Blair from the sorcerer before you was born. I do not know why your father wanted to kill you to let evil destroy this beautiful kingdom. According to the scrolls, your father made a promise to the sorcerer that a hidden city of golden instruments will be found, but before King Blair died, he has sworn to the sorcerer that one day the instruments in a temple will be found by the pirates and they will take over the land. With the help of the sorcerer, the pirates’ plan is to turn the city into the pirates treasure retreats worldwide. Then I read another scroll and it said that many other people will attempt to kill you and take over your kingdom. This kingdom must have something glorious hidden within it because soon more than ever, enemies, even in the spiritual world is after it. Only the children of the seven crusaders can help you to find it and possess it before it is too late. What scared me the most is that another scroll talked about the dungeons from the spiritual realm will be opened and demonic spirits will enter into this natural world to destroy souls according to their choice for eternal life. Only those that knows the truth will be saved.

King Roy held the hands of the queen and looked at her.

Believe it or not, my lady, this kingdom was built differently from other ones in other countries. There must have been something that was either found or established on this land very long ago. I was told that majestic scrolls were hidden in the palace and anyone who opens and read them, somewhere out there something has been released and it is heading to our kingdom, the dominion and worldwide. Whatever it is, it now knows that soon the city will be found. This land is so unique. Look at the beautiful lighthouse built on the shores of Gore and the seven lampstands that sits on the shores of Doran. What is so mysterious about this is that the seven lampstands that sits on the pier in Doran were built there to light up from the reflection of a bright light in the lighthouse on the shores of Gore. During the night people would go to the pier in Doran to reflect their lives and planning ahead. It was a time of confession and talk to God. Many monks and crusaders would meet and pray with them. When the light shines in the lighthouse it causes the seven lanterns on the seven lampstands to light up and shine. The seven lampstands would transform into the image of the seven crusaders and the lanterns. Many times invaders attempted to come and take the lanterns, but was never successful. The seven lampstands were built by seven monks, or you may say seven crusaders. The crusaders had seven lanterns and hooked them to the top of the lampstands. The bright light from the lighthouse was a different lantern. This lantern was different because in it was a fire without end. No one ever touched it or attempted to possess it. The lighthouse was also built by the seven crusaders. The seven crusaders migrated with some people on a ship and they celebrated the discovery of the beautiful land. They left the people in Doran and went on a journey to see what the land beholds. No one that lived on the island knew where these people and the crusaders came from. A city was built with two castles, a temple and a church. Both castles were royal Christian monasteries. One monastery castle was in the chamber Harmony and the other monastery was in the outskirt chamber of Georges. There were three villages in the form of chambers around both castles. There was the chamber of Doran, Harvon, and Timbuto. A cathedral was built in the midst of all three of those chambers near the monastery. In the cathedral they wanted to recognize the true meaning of faith, hope and truth and celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. They built a large wooden cross and placed it in the foundation of the church from the west monastery. The cross was built long and wide enough that anywhere on the land, all four corners of the kingdom can see it. The crusaders had found beautiful instruments and built a temple in a large valley in the midst of the other three chambers near the monastery on the east side. They built the temple for the people to listen to the harmony and melody from the instruments. The invisible furnace in the lantern would light up in the lighthouse and not only the seven lanterns would lit, but beautiful sounds of music would be heard throughout the land. Many people who lived there at that time loved their home and kingdom, but hundreds of years past and evil people and invaders attempted to possess the kingdom and its treasures. There was a great battle for the land that during the fight between the invaders and the people of Wales, the city had suddenly disappeared. The chambers became fields of grass, forests, and gardens. Before the seven crusaders were gone, they had built a hidden large treasure box underneath the monastery in the village of Georges with the treasures of the truth hidden in it. The box was as large as a chapel. There were other treasures hidden from pirates and invaders within the halls of the temple, but those who tried to possess them were trapped and killed. Before the crusaders vanished, they prayed to the Lord that one day the city would appear again by the power of the Holy Spirit and the instruments He consumes. The chosen ones will live on the land, cast away, but by the power of the living God, they will return to reclaim the city using the treasures hidden by the seven crusaders. No one knows the exact place where these treasures are and if they will ever be found. I never told you these things my lady. My ancestor was one of the people that came with the seven crusaders and this true story was passed on to us, said the king. My father, King Blair did not tell me this. It was your mother.

Your ancestors were chosen by the people to be the king and queen of the kingdom. I am a descendent of one of the crusaders too, said Queen Alicia.

I was told by my elders that the kingdom was blessed and had order, love, peace, and unity until my father King Blair sat on the throne. He was so desperate in finding these instruments that he offered the enemies to come into the kingdom to use and abuse it like a slave. He allowed dark knights, perverse noblemen, and other evil minded soldiers to do what they want throughout the kingdom. He hated the village of Doran the most. I do not know why, but I think those lampstands must worth a fortune and maybe because he could not hold possession of them unless the city is found, said King Roy.

Before you were born, your father slept with many maids and had a beautiful daughter. She may be one of the chosen ones that can lead us to this lost city. On your sister’s sixth birthday, she had a dream that the kingdom will be destroyed by the pirates and evil spirits with her father. She told the king about the dream and he was very disturbed and angry with her that her own father forced her to leave the kingdom with the pirates and to never return again. We do not know if she is still alive out there in the world. If she is alive, I hope we will find her. She may not know who we are but we have to find her. We must be the seekers now and act upon it to find these instruments and not sit on this thrown watching our kingdom be taken away from us forever my lord.

The king hugged his wife and comfort her and the baby. We have another problem. On the east side of Georges is the grassland cemetery. It is on the hill that runs into Temple Valley, the largest valley in Wales. People have not gone to the cemetery because long ago after the crusaders had vanished, a cabin was built with something locked in it. I do not know what this thing is but we must never let anyone take it. The instrument’s purpose is to help find the lost city, but in the cabin is the curse of the lost city and all who lives in it. Not anyone can enter the cemetery for there are five feet giant buzzards that fly above like guards watching their precious treasure. Anyone that enters the cemetery, they will be killed and eaten by the buzzards.

The king held the queen and lift up her chin and looked at her and said I would love to see these instruments myself. If there is a true God that lives in the heavens forevermore, then I will see the instruments myself before we have the newborn, said the king.

There are instruments of gold in the temple that my father told me about before he died. I was a daughter of a nobleman in the palace manor that loved listening to bards that talk about old tales. Just as I was reading what was written on these scrolls, he once told me that there were seven crusaders that had possession of these instruments and only those in the bloodline will ever find them and use them for the good. He had a vision that great power shall come out of those instruments when they are found. If the sorcerer and the evil ones find these instruments, the black dust and blind death will be released and many people will die and evil will rule the land.

King Roy took the scroll from Queen Alicia and read it himself. No one ever told him about the black dust and blind death.

No one can find this lost city without the instruments. What is this black dust and blind death? Is this a prophecy or revelation my lady? I was not told by bards and even some peasants about this mystery. Those golden instruments are pieces of the puzzle that will behold a revelation. The night that my son, Sir Chariot was poisoned by Sir Jalo’s father, I heard him read this scroll to my father, King Blair that there are treasures in a temple. If they are found by the invaders and evil rulers there will be a new king on the throne who will rule the people with the help of pirates, evil doers and evil spirits. I never heard or read anything about this death and dust.

Believe it or not, something is coming my lord. It is more powerful than a nation’s army. I think it is from the other world that our spirit man lives in. It may have more power than we think. I saw something in the mirror in my chamber and heard a voice and within my spirit it spoke to me about the truth. I knew it was an angel from God. I was told that something beyond our understanding is coming like an ambush, but from the spirit world and it will enter our tangible, natural world. It will slaughter us, torment us, and strip us from the truth. Only by the power of the Spirit of God the angel said that these demonic spirits will be forced back into the dungeons. I think we must seek for men of God with such great faith and trust in the Lord. Gallob and his family may help to prevent this from happening. If we are ambushed in this natural world, the kingdom, the city, and the world will be infected with an evil spirit greater than the force we encounter now. You must have hope, my lord. We do not know where Gallob and his family is. I do not know now what to think, but there are many monks, bishops, and nuns across the land that can work together and call upon the true Lord of lords to find this city before the darkness of this world do, said Queen Alicia.

No. I will not call the elders of the church of this land yet, but I appreciate your suggestions my lady. I know Gallob and his family are the ones that will prevent this because Gallob is the descendant of one of the seven crusaders. Everyone has their purpose in this world. Gallob and his family may be the only ones that can fight and prevent this evil force from entering into the natural world. This is not a battle of man against man. This is even worse because it is also spirit against spirit. The sword of the spirit lives in every man that believes in the resurrection of Christ, the son of the living God. Death no longer rules over those who believe the truth and be set free from the world within themselves. They can defeat the evil spirits in the spirit world by the two edged sword as I was told once by Gallob. He told me that the two edged sword is the language in the hearts of those who love God, which is His word, said King Roy.

Sir Delo knelt down to the king and asked, My Lord, How are we going to seek and find Gallob and his family? Even if I prepare my men for battle we will be outnumbered and many people here will be butchered to death including our family.

Do not be alarmed Sir Delo, I did have faith in my friend Gallob and hope in the one above us all, King Roy replied.

Ok, what do you want me to do my Lord?

Take a few soldiers on your horses and go to the Caernarfon Bay. The village Doran sits there. There is a small market along the beaches of Doran and we desperately need to find captain Locuse and his ship Jakeru. If you did not know, I have a privateer crew with Locuse on a private ship called the white swan. The privateers are noblemen and soldiers on my battleship that I ordered to attack the vessels of enemies especially in times like this. When you see them, ask for Locuse and when you find him ask about Gallob and his family. If he does know where they are, offer him one hundred pounds of gold and ask if he can take you and the soldiers to go out in the seas to find them.

Yes, Lord, this shall be done. I will have this request be written on a scroll and you sign it. I will give it to Gallob so he knows we come in peace and needs his help, said Sir Delo.

Sir Chariot!

Yes, my lord, my father.

"Take a few of your knights and archers and go to Sir Lavern and ask for their assistance. Tell
