Journeys Through AllCreation

By James Talisman

Earth and countless other worlds across the MultiVerse are in danger of disappearing from reality...

An ancient prophecy foretells the diabolical plans of an exceedingly intelligent and powerful being. To ensure reality continues to unfold as desired, the ‘god’ entity will utilize the innate powers contained in the Dokkaebi-of-all-Creation to destroy various universes that make up the MultiVerse.

Celestial beings most capable of stopping these plans for destruction become trapped in an alternate reality. Can they escape this illusion before their fates are sealed forever?

Former twins from the lost continent of Atlantis will play pivotal roles in countering the threat of total annihilation for untold numbers of lives across the MultiVerse. Will they be able to help save their current home worlds and the mentors who have taught them so much?

A beautiful and enlightened queen is enlisted in the team’s quest to find an ancient artifact that could assist them in locating the Master Mage. This wizard is their only real hope for defeating the former celestial leader. Can this strange and unassuming being provide what is needed?

While the outcome cannot be fully predicted from the discovered text and images, both sides prepare for an inevitable confrontation as the ancient prophecy plays out. As ‘gods’ and mortals face off in the battle for the future of all creation, which ideals and forces will reign supreme?

James Talisman

Author of the Journeys Through (metaphysical fantasy-syfy-adventure) series. Books currently in the series are book1: Journeys Through SpaceTime, book2: Journeys Through TimeSpace, and book3: Journeys Through AllCreation.While more books are planned for the series, the first three fiction novels make up an epic fantasy adventure spanning the MultiVerse of space and time. Numerous characters and the vast array of worlds they inhabit (including modern day Earth), make for grand exploits and breathtaking backdrops, as battles for how the MultiVerse should continue to unfold pit the story's heroes against formidable opponents. Unique concepts are also explored in each story, as well.Together with completing a Journeys Through Collection Volumes 1-3 boxset, I have just started a non-fiction book that will discuss the ancient wisdom concepts featured in the fiction novels. In addition to exploring principles on how reality is formed and expanded, the writings will show the different levels of consciousness we all embody as we work to grow within.Four movie screenplays based on the first two Journeys Through novels have been developed, as well.Along with a new passion for bringing characters and their worlds to life, I enjoy mountain biking, walking in nature, and spending time with my family.

Book preview

Chapter One

...ice planet Proaisthima, located in the Proxima Galaxy of Universe3

The wind rushed through the barren landscape as snow flurried about land illuminated by an almost constant dusk type setting. Any life in such a harsh environment would be hardened to the elements, with survival the primary goal.

Two bright lights appeared and began to take human-like forms. Within seconds, Zenon and Rashael stood on the hard-packed snowy ground.

Zenon, dressed in a light loose-fitting shirt and pants with sandals, looked over at his ancient friend and smiled before saying, I see you have chosen to dress for the occasion.

Rashael looked down at the exquisite long winter coat she wore before looking back at Zenon and smiling. I know we do not require bulky clothes to stay warm...but I always enjoy the opportunity to wear such lovely garments. The celestial twirled around and admired herself again.

Zenon laughed. Royalty never leaves some, I suppose. The former member of the Central Race became serious as he stared toward the mountains in the distance. My intuition tells me we should head there. He pointed toward a spot in a cluster of mountains.

Rashael hooked her arm within Zenon's arm. Lead the way, my handsome and lovely friend. The walk should be refreshing.

A slight glow surrounded the two as they walked toward the location Zenon had indicated. The intense wind and snow could not pierce the luminous circle of light surrounding the couple.

––––––––

Almost to the huge mountain agglomeration, a cave entrance was now clearly visible. Zenon stopped and looked about. He looked toward Rashael and nodded.

Rashael nodded back. Guard dogs. How quaint.

Soon, a pack of huge wolf-like beasts started to come out of the sparse group of trees near the cave opening. While the ferocious animals resembled wolves, their massive jaws and huge, muscular, furry frames indicated a much more dangerous predator.

Rashael's beautiful long coat with fur-type material at the collar and wrist disappeared to reveal an alluring female body now clothed in a light tunic made of bright colors. She started to move her hands in a circular motion as a ball of whitish-purple energy formed within.

Zenon bowed his head slightly in what looked like prayer. Within seconds, his six-foot male frame transformed into a muscular warrior with four arms. Standing almost ten-feet high, the powerful entity dressed in battle-leather with metal spikes protruding from the chest and forearm coverings began to swing the huge swords in each arm in precise motions.

The twenty or so beasts running toward the two celestials barked and growled loudly as they approached at full gait.

Rashael threw the ball of intense energy toward the lead creature. Upon contact with the beast, the energy bomb exploded, radiating whitish-purple light. The animal dropped in its tracks as its head blew into pieces of flesh and green blood.

Nice shot! roared the massive warrior beast as he readied himself for the onslaught of creatures preparing to pounce.

Four of the beasts jumped up into the air toward the warrior with four arms. Each of the wolf-like animals were quickly sliced in half from the huge swords as the razor-sharp metal ran through their bodies like a knife slicing through butter.

Rashael shot four more beasts with her energy weapon. The same gruesome results followed the impact of each hit.

Just then, more of the wolf-like creatures came into view as they came out of the trees and began to lunge toward the two celestials.

Subduing more beasts with his swords, the huge warrior looked down at the extremely beautiful woman with teal-colored eyes as he shook off a couple more creatures that had latched onto his forearms. In a booming voice, he yelled, I am tiring of this battle. How about we finish this up?

Rashael nodded with a grin on her face. Okay. I was enjoying the target practice...but you are right, as always. We have a mission to finish. The woman who seemed to exude a permanent royal nature in almost every situation, closed her eyes.

The exquisite woman who stood almost six-feet tall, began to transform into a massive dragon. Within seconds, the huge beast with enormous wings lifted off the ground and flew toward the second pack of beast running toward the warrior with four arms.

The gigantic dragon swooped down low toward the approaching pack of barking and growling wolf-like creatures and breathed whitish-purple flames at the running animals. The violent flames of energy engulfed the entire pack of lunging beasts, turning them all into soot and ash.

––––––––

Transformed back from their inner servitor creations, the two celestials walked around the burnt husks of numerous creatures entombed in ash. The now barren ground was still warm under their feet.

Just outside the cave entrance, a faint light shone within the dark opening.

Zenon studied the scene before them. It appears we have found what we came for.

Rashael sniffed the air and looked at the cave with repugnance. Caves can be so dank and disgusting. Most smell terrible, as well.

Zenon smiled to himself as he walked toward the entrance. Rashael, wearing the long coat, once more, followed the well-built male with trimmed beard inside.

Zenon created a ball of energy in his hands and sent it in front of them to provide illumination as they walked through the almost completely dark tunnel. The faint light in the distance became brighter the further they moved along toward the glowing cavern now starting to take form ahead.

Coming out of the tunnel, they admired the gigantic cavern. Bluish-green crystals encased in the massive rock walls surrounding the cave sparkled as luminous lighting from above shone down. On the other side of the enormous cave, a huge pile of the crystals gave off a bluish-green glow.

The two moved down the slight incline as they advanced toward the bluish-green glow in the distance. The hard rock floor leveled out as they got closer.

Without any warning sounds, the floor beneath their feet suddenly ran up their legs and surrounded their bodies in rock, leaving only their faces exposed.

As Zenon and Rashael looked about in shock, a tall gangly being with large ears and a mouth full of razor-sharp teeth walked over to the rock-encased couple. He moved his hands together like he had just completed a dirty task with them.

Rashael stared at the strange-looking being with contempt. Let us out of this, you overgrown troll. She tried her best to look down at herself. You have most likely, ruined my jacket.

Zenon closed his eyes. Soon, the solid rock substance encasing his body dissolved into rock dust. The troll-like being looked toward him with dismay.

Understanding Zenon's telepathic suggestion, Rashael closed her eyes. The floor rock around her body turned to dust. She looked down at her body with slight disgust before turning toward the tall gangly alien being. You have ruined my beautiful coat, you troll. I should roast you like a holiday pig. The damaged long coat disappeared to once again reveal the stunning woman dressed in the colorful tunic from earlier. Rashael began to create a ball of energy between her moving hands.

Zenon motioned for Rashael to stop. This being is no threat to us.

Just then, loud clapping sounded from the darkness at the other end of the massive cavern.

––––––––

A humongous being with a height close to fifteen feet tall started to emerge from the darkness. The crimson skin of the extremely muscular entity seemed to almost pull the darkness into its body as he continued to approach the three.

Closer now, horns coming out of its forehead and piercing black eyes gave the huge beast a demonic look.

Studying the gigantic being for a moment, Zenon nodded to himself. While your appearance has changed, your inner essence conveys your identity. You are, Diavolos, former leader of the Celestial Council.

The huge beast nodded and looked down at Zenon. Very astute. I would assume nothing different from a former member of the Central Race. Especially, one of your stature.

The demonic looking being turned toward Rashael. And there is the queen. Still as ravishing as ever. Oh, how I remember those moments we shared.

Rashael looked up at the huge alien with red skin. I must say. Your new look is not appealing, at all.

Diavolos looked at himself before raising his arms. Yes. My current form now aligns better with my ideals. The strongest will always rule creation.

In his previous human form, Diavolos had the enduring beauty found in all celestial beings. His handsome features, intellect, and perfect body had surpassed even those from his peers. Due to his immense presence, he had quickly garnered enough respect and praise to become leader for the watch guards of creation.

The king of the celestials remained in his leadership position for eons of time. Unbeknownst to the other guardians, Diavolos had begun to harbor thoughts that ran against the principles held by most of the Celestial Order.

Finally unable to continue following ideals he no longer believed, the council leader stepped down. While he told the others he needed some solitude, the truth was, he was finding it harder and harder to hide his true nature. Before leaving, he ensured others holding similar views on reality, stayed. They would keep him informed on all celestial activities.

Diavolos looked down at his second-in-command. I see you have met my Chief Deputy. His talents are quite unique...would you agree?

Rashael sneered at the Chief Deputy. That overgrown goblin is lucky to still be alive.

Diavolos laughed loudly. So beautiful and fiery. Such a wonderful combination. He motioned for the tall gangly being to leave.

The former celestial leader's lieutenant bowed toward the huge crimson being. As you request, my Majesty. The alien turned and walked back into the darkness at the other end of the humongous cave.

Zenon looked up Diavolos. We were asked by the Council to come here to investigate suspicious activities. Seeing you here, creates even further speculation. The new celestial looked over toward the glowing pile of crystals. I believe it will be prudent to take one of those crystals for evaluation. Then we will be on our way.

Diavolos laughed loudly, once more. The arrogance of my celestial brethren. In truth, I set in motion a plan to get you both here. The massive being pulled two shimmering crystal pieces from the pouch strapped behind his back. He had used his immense powers to shield their identity from Zenon and Rashael.

Both Zenon and Rashael shouted at the same time. Cube of Atonement! They watched in shock as the two pieces came together to form a cube.

Diavolos pointed the multi-colored crystal toward the two celestials. Immense energy in a rainbow of colors shot down and encased Zenon and Rashael.

In a flash of brilliant light, the pair disappeared from the huge cavern.

Chapter Two

...the fabled Shambhala, in the Himalayans mountains

Matt looked over at his partner and soulmate teaching a small group of children in the grass nearby and smiled to himself. I'm such a lucky man. She is so beautiful. Inside and out. His appreciation for Julia was interrupted by the sound of his daughter's laughter a short distance away.

Daddy! Look at me! Rachael danced in circles as numerous butterflies fluttered about her head and body. Almost from birth, Julia and Matt's child had displayed magical abilities, and the now fourteen-month-old girl possessed speech abilities beyond her age, with an incredible connection to nature in all forms.

Julia got up from the ground and looked down at the elementary aged boys and girls sitting in the grass. Waving the book in her hand, she said, I hope you all enjoyed 'Where the Wild Things Are.' I know I loved hearing the story, again.

The children all smiled and nodded.

That is all for today. Tomorrow, maybe we can paint some scenes from the story. We will meet in the main courtyard around ten AM.

The girls and boys got up and started off toward their homes up on the hillside a short distance away.

As Julia walked toward Matt and Rachael, their always bubbly and loving daughter ran her way. Mommy! Mommy! I have been playing with the butterflies.

Julia laughed. I can see that, Sweetheart. They are still following you.

The butterflies flew off to explore the meadow flowers as Rachael got closer to her mother. The young girl hugged Julia's leg before her mother picked her up and snuggled her tight. Oh, how I love these hugs! exclaimed Julia as she put her face against Rachael's soft cheeks.

Matt got up and walked over to his little family. He put his arm around Julia and kissed her other cheek.

Julia turned to look into Matt's eyes with slight concern. We are going to miss you, so much.

I will miss you both very much, too. Lama Kunchen says this is my last lesson and task necessary to advance from Initiate to Adept. Then we can really start preparing for the wedding next month.

Although Matt's innate talents were already powerful, Master Kenjison and the lamas felt the young man should follow the same training protocols issued to all initiates. It would provide the proper foundation for future training and allow his consciousness and mind to expand properly.

While his previous training and missions were necessary to protect Earth, his teachers did not want anything to happen to his mind. His ancient heritage had helped protect him during those trying events through time and space. Before exploring his natural talents further, the masters wanted to move a little slower with future training until his ego could handle the new stresses inherent in the advanced skills he would be pursuing.

Well, at least we have the banquet later. Everyone will be there to wish you all well on your journey. Alina, has happily agreed to watch Rachael tonight, too. Julia looked at Matt seductively as she rubbed his chest with her spare hand.

I will miss you, Daddy, said Rachael as she motioned for Matt to hold her. Julia gently handed their daughter to her best friend, lover, and partner for all times.

The special family headed up the steps toward their own little rock and wood home on the small hillside. The water from the large turquoise lake behind them glittered from the afternoon sunlight hitting the small ripples formed from the light breeze now flowing through the valley.

––––––––

Hey, there's my favorite family! exclaimed Dan as Matt, Julia, and Rachael approached the table where he sat with his new girlfriend.

Uncle Dan! Uncle Dan! Rachael ran over to Dan with a big grin.

Dan lifted the toddler up and sat her in front of him on the table. So, how was your day, Sweetheart?

I played with the butterflies.

Oh, and what did they have to say today? Dan's question was more serious than most would expect. Over time, it had become obvious that Rachael had the ability to communicate with most forms of nature and the animals that roamed around the magical hidden-valley Shambhala was located in.

Rachael pondered her earlier conversations with the beautiful winged nymphalids that frequented the meadows surrounding the lake and valley. They are having so much fun. They said the sun feels good on their wings. After thinking some more, Rachael added with a slight frown. They are worried about the crows.

Dan nodded. Well, I can understand why they would be worried...but they fly really fast. Plus, they help each other keep lookout.

Yes. They always watch out for each other. Rachael's frown turned to a smile again as she thought about her winged friends.

Dan looked up at Matt and Julia. Hey, you two, sit down, so we can get this party started. Imay should be coming with the Chhyang, soon.

We were going to grab some food. Can you watch Rachael for a few minutes while we food and say hi to our Shambhala family? asked Matt.

Of course. Spending time with this one always brings me joy. Dan playfully poked at Rachael's little belly. Rachael giggled and poked at Dan's stomach.

––––––––

As everyone enjoyed the mini feast provided by the villagers, Dan looked at Matt, and asked, So, are you ready for your little quest? That climb should be something else.

Yeah. I guess my graduation ceremony is stranger than most. Master Kenjison and the lamas say it will bring my consciousness to the next level.

Just be careful up there. I won't be there to save your ass, joked Dan.

Matt laughed. Yes. We all know how much you like climbing.

Julia leaned into Matt. So, what are you two talking about? I've been girl talking with Devina...and missed it.

Oh, Dan was just telling me how much he is going to miss going on this climb with me.

Julia looked wide-eyed at Dan and smiled. Was he now?

Yeah, yeah. Laugh you two. Dan put his arm around Devina. My lady knows how strong and brave I am. He made a muscle with his other arm.

Devina nodded and looked lovingly at Dan. Yes. He is my big strong and funny man.

Dan puffed up and smiled, looking toward Matt and Julia. I know, I know. I'm a lucky man, too. He looked at Devina, full of happiness. My special lady is stunning and so smart.

In truth, Dan had worried he was going to be single forever. Meeting Devina changed those thoughts. The Shambhala native loved Dan's sense of humor and caring heart. She admired how loyal he was to his friends and his computer skills intrigued her.

Julia put her hand on Dan's hand and looked at him and Devina. We are so happy for you both. Having that special partner in your life is wonderful. She snuggled close to Matt. I feel so blessed to have found my life partner.

Just then, a large crow with a big piece of chicken in its mouth, flew away from the stone wall it had been standing on. Rachael ran along the bench back toward Julia. Mommy! Mommy! My new friend said he will not hurt the butterflies. The little girl looked down slightly. I hope you are not mad. I gave him some food.

That is wonderful that you two had such a productive conversation. I'm sure your butterfly friends will love to hear all about it...and the food kind of sealed the deal, I think. Julia scooped up her daughter and pulled her in tight.

Hey, there's my man! exclaimed Dan cheerfully as he spotted Imay and Alina and their children walking their way. Imay had a small barrel on his shoulder. Time to get this party, really started.

As their kids left to go play with friends, Imay and Alina came up to the table. After everyone had greeted, Imay said, Sorry, we are late. He looked at his wife and smiled. The little ones were playing down at the lake, so we kind of took some together time. Everyone laughed at Imay's subtle reference to his recent amorous entanglement with Alina.

Soon, the keg was tapped, and cups filled with Chhyang. The bittersweet brew made from millets was considered the 'Beer of the Himalayas' and was now one of Dan's favorite drinks.

––––––––

As laughter and talk ensued, Dan spotted Lama Kunchen coming toward their table. He looked at Matt, and said, Oh no. Here comes Daddy. Party is over, I guess.

The lama came up to the table and bowed slightly, holding both hands together. Namaste.

All the adults bowed back with hands clasped together. Namaste, Holy One.

Lama Kunchen looked toward Matt and Imay. Ram has arrived. He will sleep in the sanctuary tonight and meet you both by the lake at nine AM. The lama smiled as he looked around. He turned toward Matt, and said, I trust you are ready for this quest, Ancient One.

Matt bowed slightly. I am, Master.

Shambhala's highest lama nodded. Very well then. Good luck on your journey. After nodding toward the others, he turned and walked up nearby steps toward the sanctuary and adjoining courtyard a short distance away.

Matt got up from the table and looked toward his friends. Well, I believe that's my cue to retire for the evening and prepare my gear for tomorrow.

Dan got up and gave his best friend a fist bump and hug. I know you don't always like these expressions of love, but I love you, man. Be careful up there. He looked over at Imay, and said, Watch out for this guy. Imay nodded.

After their embrace. Matt looked at his longtime friend. I'm going to miss you and your banter. Take care, Buddy. Don't forget, we have a bachelor party to plan when I get back.

Julia handed Rachael to Alina. Thank you again, for watching Rachael tonight. She got up and put her arm in Matt's arm. Shall we go take some time together, too? Everyone chuckled as Matt's eyes grew wide.

Matt and Julia hugged and kissed Rachael before turning to go back to their cute little house a short walk away.

Now back at their cozy home, Matt quickly put the rest of his climbing gear together and double-checked to ensure he had everything he would need for the upcoming climb to the top of Dhaulagiri.

Julia called out from the shower, Hey, my big strong man, how about you come in and wash my back?

Matt wore a big grin as he quickly took off his clothes. You know I'm the best back scrubber in the Himalayas!

After they both helped seductively wash each other's bodies, the two lovers dried off and climbed into bed to continue their romantic liaison.

Matt looked up at his beautiful and curvaceous partner, once again marveling at how lucky he was. She is everything I could ever want in a woman...and she is so sexy, too!

Julia looked down at the well-built young man with a climber's body as she straddled him. I am so happy to be marrying my best friend and soulmate. Her eyes began to shut as the intense pleasure from their union made her shudder inside.

As the two lovers continued to rock back and forth, Matt’s energies started to soar.

Like what had happened so many times before, their dual climax created a special connection with their energetic selves. High above the Earth, gigantic ethereal beings spanning for miles intertwined with each other as more stars than could be counted, shone all around the two lovers.

Their souls now back in the bedroom of their comfy abode, Matt and Julia held each other tightly as simultaneous orgasms rocked the bed and moonlight shone through the open window.

Chapter Three

...ice planet Proaisthima, located in the Proxima Galaxy of Universe3

Diavolos stared at the two-foot squared cube in his hands. Bands of iridescent energy rippled across its surface. It was mesmerizing watching all the illusions transpiring within. When stared at long enough, consciousness would start to intertwine with events unfolding inside.

Diavolos nodded to himself and put a giant finger on a certain location of the crystal's surface. He closed his eyes and made an intention before removing his finger.

The spot illuminated and began to pulse a bright red light. A beam of energy shot out and focused on the rocky ground a short distance away.

Within seconds, the intense red light dissipated to reveal a human male form. Looking up at the massive crimson being, the six-foot celestial smiled, and said, Father. Thank you for releasing me from that prison.

Diavolos looked down. My son has returned. The huge being called out, Chief Deputy, come see who has returned to us.

The ground next to the celestial started to form a tall rocky structure. Soon, the rock substance transformed into the tall gangly alien with large pointy ears and mouth full of razor-sharp teeth. The chief deputy looked at the celestial and bowed. Master Damon! We have been blessed this day.

––––––––

The former leader of the celestial order put his huge hand on Damon's shoulder. Son, I suspect you are disoriented from your time in the cube. We will go back to my ship, and there we can realign your consciousness. He turned to his lieutenant. Continue mining operations for the Mageia Ousia until we have obtained the amount discussed. Notify me when it is ready for transport.

The chief deputy bowed toward the crimson giant. As you command, Your Majesty.

Diavolos nodded toward his faithful second-in-command before disappearing with his son.

Once aboard the Anotatos Typhon, Diavolos instructed some crewmembers to escort his son to the infirmary.

Connect him to the Linguee system and instruct the ship A.I. to begin consciousness reconfiguration protocols. I will come to check progress once I am finished with my search.

The crewmembers resembling large humanoid crocodiles, bowed. As you command, Your Majesty.

Diavolos turned and started the long walk to his quarters. The high ceilings throughout the massive space vessel allowed the leader to move about freely.

The spaceship was one of the largest vessels within the MultiVerse of space and time. The rectangular-shaped ship spanned over ten miles in length and almost four miles in width. The ship's design and power source were fashioned by the former celestial leader, himself.

The Philosopher's Stone created to power the ship and weapons required eons of time to fully develop. Once ready, Diavolos removed the blazing red crystal from within the Seat-of-Power just below and behind his navel. The pulsating crystal was placed in the specially designed container within Anotatos Typhon's engineering space at the core of the enormous vessel.

The massive space illuminated as the giant entered his quarters. He called out to the ship's artificial intelligence in a booming voice, Give me a progress report on the search.

The Dokkaebi-of-all-Creation is currently travelling through Universe#2 in the Damoreen Galaxy. The creature appears to be on a feeding cycle.

Diavolos nodded to himself. Excellent. It should be fully energized by the time we reach it in a few weeks.

––––––––

After a few hours, the former celestial leader walked into the ship's infirmary. Damon was just coming to as the massive crimson being came over to the bed he lay on. How are you feeling, Son?

My mind is still unsettled, but my previous reality is returning. The celestial got up from the bed and moved his body about while touching various objects in the medical lab. My physical senses are starting to feel normal. The cube creates a constant dream state that feels real, but not quite the same as this plane of existence. He looked up at his father. I am curious. How were you able to free me?

"The process is extremely complicated. Fortunately, I had been working on a solution for quite some time. Even before the Council imprisoned you. Specific manifestation protocols
