Phrog wondered about the preparation he was having to make. Why did he need an Optometrist interpreter? After all he was just going to the Order of the Salamanders tic-tac-toe Convention where tic-tac-toe aficionados from all over the world would come to compete. He thought that perhaps he would splurge and purchase a golden pen to use in the contest. There was one being put up on the e-bay auction block but he was unsure if he could hold out until the bitter end.

He put down his glass of milk, and picked up the ancient papyrus. He took it out to cross to the corridor to the other side of the Temple but had to wait because of a passing parade. His cell phone rang. It played "Ode to Joy" so he knew it was the Supreme Magus calling him. The conversation was brief. He told the Magus he would be right there when the parade passes by. He would have to wait to go to the main office to pick up the bill of lading, that the Supreme Magus wanted him to bring. The Magus told him he would be sitting by the stone wall when he got to the Temple.

Just then a polar bear passed by so he knew that within 20 seconds the parade would be over. He would get it together, yell at a few people and then there would have to be some spasmodic activity to get the Magus what he wanted. It was actually from the dark recesses of antiquity and was probably the solution to world domination by the Order of the Salamanders.
