This is not a tale of beginnings or a story of reason, It is a window to what lies ahead.
Long ago the Grand Hippo was presented a sick mother who was to give birth to twins. The Hippo used all of his grandness to deliver the children safely, but sadly the mother's life would fade away. The Grand Visor suggested a gift begiven to the 2 children, and the Hippo decided that these 2 were to serve man as a time piece for the world. As the world aged so would they. If man took care of the world, then they wouldn't age and therefore live until the end of time. At first men of all walks of life reveared them, and did as they decreed for the better of the world. But soon they were ignored, their ideas maintained the world, but didn't make it any better. And time slowly crept onward and eventually the 2 boys were banished and forgot who they had once been. Long have they lived until now, when just recently the first has fallen into serious decay. These two men have assumed the names of Dick Clark and Bob Barker. Both so old their origins have been forgotten, both so unaging until recently when the world seems at it's darkest. Dick Clark has taken a Stroke and the other of the 2 will begin to suffer. The people of the world need to once more remember the ancient wisdoms and listen to these old men. For the hippo has linked their time with the time of the earth, and when they finally fail and wither to the dust they would have been long ago, so shall the world.
This is a story from the book of "Warnings" as told by the Grand Visor.
