Introduction by A. G. Harrison
 
Introduction
 
From the time human felt the necessity to communicate, he realized the value of the written word and wrote by drawing on cave walls, clay tablets, stones, papyrus, parchment, paper, and today, with the development of technology, he has created e-books.
 
The object "book" is classified in industrial products, but at the same time it is a cultural good. Personally, I emphasize both of its dimensions, but mainly in its cultural dimension. I consider the book to be the most important expression of culture because quite simply, in addition to being the same work of art, it supports all other expressions of culture.
 
As an industrial product, through the many stages of its creation and before it reaches the hands of the reader, it financially supports a wide range of professions, such as writers, philologists, translators, designers, publishers, paper merchants, printing houses, bookbinders, distributors and, finally, bookstores… Let us not forget, of course, that today it also greatly supports the huge online market industry.
 
The governments of many countries, studying and delving into the economic benefits of the book, have invested and supported this industry in various ways, which flourished and offered them great financial gains.
 
Starting with the Sumerians, Babylonians and other peoples of Mesopotamia, who wrote on clay tablets, Egyptians and Romans, who wrote on papyrus, the Jews on parchment, the evolution with handwritten books images in the Middle Ages in Europe, the creation of the first wooden typographic elements and paper by the Chinese, who printed the first books, the discovery of metallic elements by the German Johannes Gutenberg during the Renaissance and the really rapid development of printing in 1450 until 1456 and, finally, during the 19th-20th century the Industrial Revolution, which makes the production of the book flourish are some examples of the value of the written word.
 
The agony and effort of all these civilized societies, over time, in various parts of the world, teaches us that the book is an integral part of human existence.
 
Throughout this course the book records and transports from the depths of the centuries ancient civilizations, which teach us about the mistakes that we can avoid or imitate the achievements of our ancestors and adopt timeless principles and values, supplies for survival. but also the evolution of the human species.
 
By reading a book, we have the opportunity to create with our imagination the heroes of history, landscapes, various objects, etc. In the pages of a book, the author, in addition to his study, research, experiences, also expresses his feelings. He makes us members of his own world and gives us the opportunity to learn.
 
It helps us to acquire knowledge but also to enrich our vocabulary, improving our own writing.
 
It contributes to our mental alertness, increases the ability to focus, improves our memory, helps to develop our analytical mental abilities, entertains us, calms us down and helps reduce stress.
 
Of course, apart from the importance of touch and contact with a hot material, reading a quality book contributes significantly and decisively to our self-education, the cultivation of critical thinking, the upgrading of our aesthetics and consequently contributes to our quality of life.
 
It conveys art, informs, cultivates the spirit and the soul, elevates intelligence, finds solutions to problems, conveys messages, circulates ideas, forms consciences.
 
I hope my books convey a message of personal experiences and you could find segments of your own truth as well.
 
Thank you in advance for being here and being ready to start reading.
Chapter 1
 
After another forty minutes of walking they had finally made it and it wasn’t what Ransom expected. It was just a door, a plain wooden door built into the rock of the mountain. He was expecting a high tech force field, booby traps, barking dogs or even a ‘keep out’ sign, but nothing was there and it made him uneasy.
 
If this man is dangerous to them then why don’t they have some kind of security? As far out here as he is maybe that was enough for them. I guess the king would probably know if he left the mountain. There’s only one thing left to do.
 
“Get behind me,” he said.
 
Athena didn’t object just stepped to the side and peaked around as he went to knock on the door. Right before his hand touched the door she grabbed him.
 
“Wait.”
 
“What’s wrong?”
 
He looked down at her and she was staring straight ahead. She finally blinked and let go of his arm.
 
“The door is electrified, there’s also some type of animal on the other side.”
 
“Damn, I knew this was too good to be true.”
 
He started looking around for any type of deactivation button or even clues to another entrance. Ransom then noticed the door didn’t have a knob or handle. He took a step back and really focused on the door. Not only didn’t it have a knob but no frame either. There was no space at the bottom for the door to slide outward or inward, it just continued down into the ground with no indication of how the door would open. There was writing on the left side, engraved in the stone, so he moved closer trying to see it.
 
“There’s something written over here,” he said.
 
Athena was on the other side looking around. “Can you read it?”
 
I’m still confused about how I can speak Trigonian ever since I came through the portal. I haven’t tried reading but there’s no time like the present.
 
“Think so, it says ‘The one who can view what’s to come and is the fourth generation of woman has to introduce themselves. Only she will have passage.’ I’m going to guess that’s you.”
 
“Yes.”
 
Ransom could she was a little taken back. “Now you know why Crystal sent you, you’re the only one who can open the door.”
