Circa the Year of Dome 2000, Anvil the Artificer, a then otherwise unnamed, highborn Lazaremist later called Tvasitar Smithmonger, dedicated the first three devic talismans, or power foci, that he forged out of molten Brainrock to the Trigregos Sisters. The long lost, possibly even dead, simultaneous mothers of devakind hated their offspring for abandoning them on the far-off planetary Utopia of New Weir. Not surprisingly, their fearsome talismans could be used to kill Master Devas (devils). For most of twenty-five hundred years, they belonged to the recurring deviant, Chrysaor Attis, time after time proven a devaslayer. On Thrygragon, Mithramas Day 4376 YD, he turned them over to his Great God of a half-father, Thrygragos Varuna Mithras, to use against his two brothers, Unmoving Byron and Little Star Lazareme, in hopes of usurping their adherents and claiming them as his own. Hundreds of years later, these selfsame thrice-cursed Godly Glories helped turn the devil-worshippers of Sedon's Head against their seemingly immortal, if not necessarily undying gods. Now, five hundred years after the 1000 Days of Disbelief, they've been relocated. The highest born, surviving devic goddesses want them for themselves; want to thereby become incarnations of the Trigregos Sisters on the Hidden Continent. An Outer Earthling, one who has literally fallen out of the sky after the launching of the Cosmic Express, gets to them first ... |

In the Year of the Dome 4825, Morgan Abyss, the Melusine Master of the Utopian Weirdom of Cabalarkon, seizes control of Primeval Lilith, the ageless, seemingly unkillable Demon Queen of the Night. The eldritch earthborn is the real half-mother of the invariably mortal Sed-sons but, once she has hold of her, aka Lethal Lily, Master Morgan proceeds to trap the Moloch Sedon Himself. In the midst of the bitter, century-long expansion of the Lathakran Empire, the Hidden Headworld's three tribes of devil-gods are forced to unite in an effort to release their All-Father. Unfortunately for them, they're initially unaware Master Morg, the Death's Head Hellion herself, has also got hold of the Trigregos Talismans, devic power foci that can actually kill devils, and Sedon's thought-father Cabalarkon, the Undying Utopian she'll happily slay if they dare attack her Weirdom. Utopians from Weir have never given up seeking to wipe devils off not just the face of the Inner Earth, but off the planet itself. Their techno and biomages, under the direction of the Weirdom of Cabalarkon's extremely long-lived High Illuminary, Quoits Tethys, have determined there is only one sure way to do that -- namely, to infect the devils' Inner Earth worshippers with fatal plagues brought in from the Outer Earth. Come All-Death Day there are more Dead Things Walking than Living Beings Talking. Believe it or not, that's the good news. |

Kadmon Heliopolis had one life. It ended in October 1968. The Male Entity has had many lives. In his fifth, he and his female counterpart, often known as Miracle Memory, engendered more so than created the Moloch Sedon. They believe him to be the Devil Incarnate. They've been attempting to kill him ever since. Too bad it's invariably he, Heliosophos (Helios called Sophos the Wise), who gets killed instead. On the then still Whole Earth circa the Year 4000 BCE, one of their descendants, Xuthros Hor, the tenth patriarch of Golden Age Humanity, puts into action a thought-foolproof, albeit mass murderous, plan to succeed where the Dual Entities have always failed. He unleashes the Genesea. The Devil takes a bath. Fifty-nine hundred and eighty years later, New Century Enterprises launches the Cosmic Express from Centauri Island. It never reaches Outer Space; not all of it anyhow. As a stunning consequence of its apparent destruction, ten extraordinary supranormals are reunited, bodies, souls and minds, after a quarter century in what they've come to consider Limbo. They name themselves the Damnation Brigade. And so it appears they are -- if perhaps not so much damned as doomed. At least one person survives the launching of the Cosmic Express. He literally falls out of the sky -- on the Hidden Continent of Sedon's Head. An old lady saves him. Except this old lady lives in a golden pagoda, rides vultures and has a third eye. She also doesn't stay old long. He becomes her willing soldier, acquires the three Sacred Objects and goes on a rampage, against his own people, those that live. Meanwhile, Centauri Island, the launch site of the Cosmic Express, comes under attack from Hell's Horsemen. Only it's not horses they ride. It's Atomic Firedrakes! |

1. Hestia-HousekeepingGreetings. Welcome or welcome back to PHANTACEA on the Web. To begin with an ending, after very nearly five years out here in Cyberia it's finally 'All Hail and a Fond Farewell' to the fully four-book long, multiple hundreds of pages 'Launching of the Cosmic Express' Tetralogy[.] To continue with another ending, this time up also features the, as you were forewarned, frustrating finale to Rings '60 -- 'Aspects of an Amoebaman'[.] I'll comment further on both of these, pardon the fay-saying, moderately monumental milestones momentarily[.] Immediate item on the agenda is to dispense with our usual [.] Rather, the first item on the agenda is to reiterate just what it's purpose is, -- that is to say my Web-Publisher's [-]. In case you missed it[,] Hestia was the Greek Goddess of the Hearth. Presumably that means tidiness was one of her attributes. Something 'on the Web' is not now and, despite efforts to improve its straight-forwardness, may never be is tidy. That doesn't stop me, here in pHpubs, from at least attempting to focus your attention on stuff I've put up this time around that's either not been seen previously or isn't where it used to be. An example of that is where last time up's [-] can be found this time up[.] Which you may have already noticed, thrice now and counting[,] is [!] Which is also where you'll find out just what the heck I meant by [-]. As for what the Herr Hel[']s with the [-], I'll get to that momentarily as well[.]
Be they ever-so-tantalizing[,] little blue specks or glaring, to my mind distracting, headlights that illuminate whole words, if you start chasing lynx from <'a'>-anchor to <'a'>-anchor you'll end up never having actually read what's on the page itself. Which, not so kindly, kind of defeats the purpose of PHANTACEA on the Web[.] In this regard, my best advice is to BOOKMARK the Index Page (www.phantacea.info/index.shtml) and this one, my flagship page (www.phantacea.info/phpubs.htm), as your starting points. Read pHpubs at your discretion, check out the new story installments, which are always listed down below at www.phantacea.info/phpubs.htm#reading, at your leisure then chase lynxes to your heart's content. If you're like me and enjoy visuals with your verbiage then www.phantacea.info/phpubs.htm#sites is the place for you to return to on a regular basis. Want to be notified when I put up an new installment of 'on the Web' contact me at jmcp@phantacea.com and I'll put you on my email list. Want to build up a library of PHANTACEA disks and actual hold in your hand publications look no further than www.phantacea.info/phorder.htm[.] (NOTE 2: Despite remarks made on the [-] synopses page a few years ago, neither [-] nor [-] have as yet found their way into paperback. Guess that means you're stuck with ordering either [-] or [-] in disk format[.] Guess it does. Unless you're prepared to wait for them to show up on [-] again, that is. Which might not be all that long from now, sooth said.) Top of Page2. Today's Topic: Revenge of the Day-Glow MarkersYou may have noticed the similarity in a couple of the above titles, namely [-] and [-]. Heliosophos dying is nothing special. Not even for him! In [']Forever And Forty Days['] he dies at least 4 times; five if it turns out he was/is Cain, the Biblical Slayer of Abel. That's the thing about Helios called Sophos the Wise, -- he's a time-tumbler and, as such, has all these different lifetimes. In Rings '55 and Rings '60, for example, he's still enjoying his First. In the Heliodyssey series of novels, which are set in '38, he's in his Eleventh and, in the Launch Tetralogy, he's ostensibly way up to Number One-Hundred. Thus, while All, the self-proclaimed Invincible She[-]Sphinx of Incain, who appears briefly in Last[-]Moon, has on occasion hailed him as her creator, she/it knows enough never to bid her Herr Hel Helios, as opposed to her Her Hell [,] a fond and especially not a final[!] Not so Leandro D'Angelo. The supranormal initially code-named Amoebaman only got the standard, solitary lifetime. However, even though it ended in 1946, he's left all sorts of aspects of himself behind. A couple of them don't make it beyond the mid-Spring of 1960, though. Which is a major reason why Rings '55 and Rings '60 go by the overall title of [!] So, what is it with all these [-] anyhow? Just my way of playing around with the Web. Want to know whom Rings will revenge himself upon, always presuming it's on anyone? Easiest way to find out is, of course, to read Asp[-]6. However, assuming your web-browser's up to it, you could discover their perhaps shocking identities right now by getting interactive and playing my version of fill in the [-]!
Starting at [-], the first person who fully fills in all the above [-] and either e[-] or snail[-]mails proof of doing so gets the same non[-]prizes I offered when I set up the House Head Non-Contest a year ago. (This month being March 2001) Top of Page
