It is summer vacation of 1993. You passed sixth grade with flying
colors and are now a seventh grader. This, you think, has to have been the
worst summer in a long time. There is nothing for you to do. Your
parents are lazy and hardly ever take you out to the arcade. You are
waiting for an arcade game to come out on one of your many
video game systems. That's the only main thing you have been waiting
to do all summer.
It's after the fourth of July weekend and you still have nothing to
do. Your parents DID take you to the arcade since it was right near
You decide to go visit your school. Rumors say that the ghosts
of the people who had school lunch there, and didn't get to the
hospital in time, still roam the school. They also say that the
janitors stay there all the time, even during the summer, cleaning
up the toxic waste sight. You decide to take a look for yourself.
On the way, outside the school, you see a janitor inside. You make
a jump to the garbage thingie that they keep all the garbage in.
They didn't empty it yet. That was a bad move. YUCK! It smelt like
old McDonald's (r) hamburgers. You see nothing of interst in there.
You hurry home to take a shower. Luckily you got the toxic waste
off in time. You know what happened to those other kids...
After that you go back out and you see something that catches your
eye. You know what happens from there...

Chapter 1: The lands of Hkrow
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Hkrow is a land far, far, away. The villagers there look like humans
and they speak English. (most of them) Most are kind and friendly.
They are usally willing to help a lost travel out. If you were
ever to travel there don't be afraid to ask for help, but don't
barge in on one, they don't like that very much, even though other
villagers do that most often too the annoyance of the owner of the
house. The land of Hkrow is expands over thousands of miles of land,
water, etc. It's very beautiful there. If one was so lucky to visit
Hkrow they would call is paradise. There are only a few things that
happen to annoy the people in the land of Hkrow.

Chapter 2: Towns, villages, mountain ranges, etc. of Hkrow
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
One main city in the land of Hkrow is the city, or village, of
Ogausis. The mayor there is Richard Goldman, a wealthy and caring
person. ( see chapter 3) Another town is Kinweke. This is a
town near the waterfalls of Hkrow. The people there are kind but
often need help for one reason or another. The water from the falls
travels throughout Hkrow. The mountains are where some evil
monstors live. They terrorize the people of Hkrow. If one were
to kill, destory, inable, etc. one of these horrable things they
would be greatly rewarded. There is a mountain range that is
throughout Hkrow. This holds many mysteris and secrets. No one yet
has explored them all. If you were to go there, would you be brave
enough to? Yea, shure, you say. If you were really there to see
these horrable mountains you would change your mind. The mountains
can also be a nice place. That is, if you don't go wondering off.

Chapter 3: Famous people of the land Hkrow
Here I will tell you some of the famous people, things, etc. that
one may meet while in Hkrow.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
You have heard of the village of Ogausis, right? As you know, there
is a mountain range near there, as well as all accross Hkrow. Thing
is, in that range the evil Erink lives. It is a horrable, little,
midgit. She loves to make people mad my stealing things. She does
this to get revenge for her short appearance. She can be rather mean.
While on the subject of Ogasis, let's tell you about the mayor. He
is a nice man named Richard. All of his subjects like him. There is
no need for elections for no one would be able to beat him. He is
very nive and caring, like most of the people in Ogasis. He has
a special award for one deserving it. To get it you must to some
great feat to help Ogausis. If he likes you he may help you if you
were in need of help. He could also give your name to other towns
that might be in need of a hero.
As you know, the mountains hold many mysteries. Rumors say there is
on hold hermit names Alexander that lives in the mountains. He is
a very wise old hermit and is feared by many evil things. They
might try to stop one from seeing him if he, or the one, could be
a threat to them. No one knows for shure if there is an old hermit,
but I wouldn't be so quick to say there wasn't one.
One of the creatures known to hate Alexander, if Alex exists, is the
Travis. He is a big giant. It is said that no one could slay him,
not even the best hero in the universe. That is probally true.
People say that he is a real softy and that he might be able to be
stunned if you tell him something in his language. So far they do
not know how it works. They have a general idea. That is that
numbers mean letters. That's wierd, if you ask me. The Travis is
known to stay near where the hermit, Alexander, is supposed to live.
The Travis is known to wear jeans until his seventh birthday. He got some
jeans, from his favorite copany, and put them on. His friend, who also
had the same name as the brand on jeans, put crazy glue in his pants.
He was so mad at his friend for doing that that he went on a mad rampage.
When he got to the N. power plant he decided to try and kill himself by
stepping into the generator. He was exposed to all types of radiation.
This made him what he is today. He was also warped into Hkrow, where he is
still today.
There is a very smart scholar my the name of john McClain. They say
in sixth grade he got all A's, and nothing but. At least for the
first three marking peorids. He says he lost his report card for the
fourth, so no one is shure. He is nice and could direct a misguided
person. He knows a lot about the lands of Hkrow. He is said to be
the smartest in all the land. Is this true, you ask? Well, probally.
There is one WarLord on Hkrow that is feared by all. His name is
Elliot. He has the biggest army in the land of Hkrow. He hates anyone
who destroys evil, such as the Erink or Travis. He has a shot gun, the
only one in Hkrow. That is how he made so many people join his side. He
claims it as powerful as a shot gun, but it is a bebe gun. The things it
shoots only injure one unless rapidly attacked. He has one weekness. He
is willing to beleave alomst anything one would tell him. When he went to
Hkrow he was teased by everyone. Even the nicest kids would make fun of him.
This is what started his vengence aginst all. They would say things like
"Behind you, look!" and "Ahhhhh! There's a dragon." He'd beleave them all.
He would never learn. It was if he was some sort of robot programed to do
anything one would tell him. When he would turn around they would shove him
down on the ground. One day, when he was wearing his brand new cloths, he
was pushed into a puddle. He got so mad he quit school and started to design
a weapon. Since he was in the gifted and talented program he was able to
make a good weapon. The "Shot gun."
There are plenty more people that live in the land of Hkrow, but, I
don't know them all and it would be a waste of time to try to write
all of their names here. After all, all this is is a guide for new
adventurers that have come to the land Hkrow from other lands
far, far, away.
