In the land of the Red pirate
I forgot how sneaky these Oryx may be, after the success of last week.
I went to see them again. This time I was alone. I tried a new way. The new way goes through the land of the Red pirate, and his signs are everywhere. "No Entry" they say.
"Danger" they claim. But a true Oryx tracer shall not fear. "Privet area" the sign say.
O.K, i said to my self. I promise not to take the area, not even a single stone. "Intruders will be prosecuted" the sign goes on. Well, go find me in the desert. And in i went. The red pirate was not at home. In fact, his town was deserted. A weird ghost town in the middle of nowhere. There was a tower in this town, and i climbed it.
A faint signal came from the west. But no car tracks to the west, and i try my best not to make new ones. So i tried to go around. i found a strange phenomenon. There was no connection between the map i had, the GPS coordinates and the actual view surrounding. After a few times of trying to use these tools i gave up, and find my way through tracks in the field. The way took me north, and then, through a beautiful wadi to the west. No sign of an Oryx ever visiting this place though. i found a way going south and up. A quick look at the map- not mentioned. From the top of the hill, i couldn't receive no hint from the Oryx. I realized i went too much to the west. This road i was on seemed to be a good one, and connecting to the one i was on last week. i took it. It went all the way to that road i wanted. i started going east. It was slow, many steep up& downs, and the sun started falling to the horizon in the west.
after a few Km i got to a point, where large boulders blocked the way. I had to pass another 3 Km to get to the point where i was last week, and i knew the way from there is sweet. But never the less, i had to cross that point. I stepped out of the car, and saw that a jeep can pass in this point, but not my car. I mean i could pass, but not without damaging the side of the car. i could choose which side to damage, but it didn't matter. By damaging the car, i gonna have a business with Mr. Rafi Azulai (on the right). No one wants to have trouble with Mr. Rafi Azulai, and i was avoiding meeting him for the last 2 years. He knows my name, though, and that's another reason why i don't want to tell him why & how i jammed the car.
So i went to look around. There was no other way. I tried to move the boulders. They were damn too heavy. i started wondering again, how does it always happen to me when I'm alone. But i wasn't alone. There are many gods in this world, and quiet a few in the desert.
A cheerful motor noise came to my ears. This was the sign of the salvation. Two jeeps came out of nowhere. The drivers were totally surprised to meet me there, alone in my sleepers. They helped me maneuver through that maze of boulders. I knighted them on the spot.
there were another problematic spot on the way, and the guys moved rocks and led me through it as well. When i got to that famous-by-now spot where i was last week, i could sense the Oryx were near. But no enough. The sun has just touched the horizon, it was time to give up and go to drink a beer in the warm pool of Shitim.
Next morning i had Ar. & Ut. joining me. Having kings of this magnitude with me made sure everything would go smooth. 13 Oryx in the east, another 6 in the west (plus 5 wild ass just near them) and tales about what is expected at the end of time, at 12.12.2012. Ar. comes from Atlantis, so he knows.
