    Back, Spawn of Evil! Back to your nightmare abyss!

    Your unholy kind will never triumph! Not so long as Goddess Athena draws breath!

    At age 10 she was a veteran resistance fighter. What her name was then no longer matters.

    At 23 she was a smoldering Hollywood starlett. And she was called Vesuvia.

    Fame faded. Eventually she returned to Europe.

    These many years later she roams the Mediterranean. And today she has a guest.

    Welcome aboard Oliver Warbucks, er, I mean Count Oliviero! Sorry! Don’t mean to blow your cover!

    Any, old friend, mi casa, su casa! The crew will pay no attention to you. And there are always guests aboard.

    Thank you, Vesuvia. It – well – it really is good to see you again my dear.

    Oh, Oliver! I know why you’ve come! Your government has found many obscene terrorists footprints on the soil of my native Italia!

    Centaurs! Snake! Nothing but box office fiction! Ha! Let me help you battle the real beasts of this world, Oliver! Let me do something worthy with my life again, Oliver! As when I was the child I so hardly remember!

    “The Saga of Dr. Dark”(24) 11/4-5/2017

    After wiping the minds, hard drives and the Navy ships from his island. (Sent hundreds of miles away) Dr. Dark is educating himself on what is in the world now in the year 2028 to see what he wants, what he needs and needs to watch out for since his cold sleep at the end of what they call “World War Two”. He has use for those “black static” buoys he hijacked from the well equipped US military. Grown considerably since 1945. That “black static” boarders on arcane physics. He will have many uses for that.

    As he goes he sees that the polities of Europe and the rest of the world have changed over time. His brain can both read and process so much information than any person on the planet that is human. His mutation is lucky to be born once ever few millennia. He has had many names and he will have more in his long future. His ability to keep his cells from aging as normal humans do is only a stop gap. He has looked into whatever means to extend life including becoming a vampire or even switch bodies as some of the sorcerers to do it live on. They can even do it for a short time if their body is killed to make the essence switch of a body that had been tested before the final juxtaposition. He has that capacity, but he doesn’t want to lose what else his body gives him. Why he as studied so laboriously—-for him, in the area of “protoplasmic reversion”. This capacity is a rare ability and in most cases not studied and learning how to use it. with it he could remake his body eventually being able to copy anyone else and adjust his features, pigmentation, hair even size and weight. And most of all his life span.

    “The Great God Pan”is a novella by Welsh writer Arthur Machen. A version of the story was published in the magazine The Whirlwind in 1890, and Machen revised and extended it for its book publication (together with another story, “The Inmost Light”) in 1894.
