The Mistery of Belicena Villca
Once outside the walls , he climbed a nearby hill from where the next morning he watched the expedition ' s hurried departure .
–“ The Germans --thought Bangi-- were now part of a procession of Demons " -- . With Schaeffer , indeed , were Master Djual Khul and the Skushok of the Gompa , a kind of Tibetan Abbot , in addition to four Lamas of the Turmeric bonnet .
At that moment , he realized that he had two alternatives : either to follow the caravan at a distance , risking to starve and freeze to death in a few days ; or return to the Chang-Lam road and await the announced reinforcements , then risking to lose track of the expedition , since the Portal of Shambhala meant entering a secret path , which perhaps crossed unknown dimensions of Space or extended into other Worlds . However , he opted for this last variant , having transcurred only three days since he was by the bridge of the Hoang-Ho .

Such was , more or less , the story that the Gurkha told us . I think Von Grossen , like his spies on the expedition , was more concerned with the Operation Altwesten than the life of Oskar Feil . According to his orders , orders that were signed by the highest authorities of the Third Reich but that I did not ignore emanated from the " gray brains " of the regime , among which was Konrad Tarstein , it was an absolute priority “ to make contact with Schaeffer ' s expedition ”, “ to get Kurt von Sübermann to join it ”. That is to say , if it had been for Von Grossen we should have abandoned Oskar to his luck and concentrated on following in Schaeffer ' s footsteps : that was the best Strategy to fulfill the orders . But the life of Oskar Feil mattered more to me than the blessed orders and I wouldn ' t move from there until I hadn ' t obtained his freedom .
Paradoxically , the " key " of the Operation First Key was me , my voluntary collaboration to divert Operation Altwesten from its hidden objectives . And my collaboration now demanded the prior release of Oskar Feil . Therefore , displaying great pragmatism , Von Grossen accepted the facts without discussing and set out to plan the rescue .
The five Germans , the eight Lopa monks , and the Gurkha monk , we camped in a narrow pass , away from the main road but located scarcely five kilometers from the Ashram Jafran . There Von Grossen interrogated the Gurkha about the details of the enemy stronghold , finally working out a plan of operations on which we all agreed . Basically , the Strategy would be the following : the rescue would take place in the middle of an attack by surprise .
According to the local traditions , the first thing man worshiped in that place was the islet where later was raised the Temple consecrated to Rigden Jyepo . A popular legend claimed that in very remote times , Jagannath , the King of the World , the Hogmin Dordji Chang , had come out of Shambhala to travel the World under His Aspect of Crane . Upon his return , he chose that half-sunken boulder in Lake Kyaring to rest before undertaking the last leg of his journey to Chang Shambhala . The myth tells that in the beach , which was joined to the island by a thin corridor of stones , was a Holy Lama named Dusk 41 who , taking pity on the exhausted bird , approached to feed it the only thing at hand : a sack of turmeric flowers . Grateful , the Blessed Lord decided to reward Dusk by making him the father of a people of worshipers of the King of the World and granting , to all Initiates that arose from his Race , the custody of the Portal of Shambhala , which began precisely on that sacred island .
Another version of the legend , undoubtedly older , stated that the Divine Crane had loved the Lama Dusk and wanted to give him offspring before leaving . The problem was that the Crane was a male specimen , of the same sex as the Lama , so there would be no fertilization possible . Then the Crane of Shambhala , that in this story was fed by the blood of the Lama , remembered that only the intercourse with a male naga snake is able to achieve the miracle of the procreation between members of the same sex . Always on the islet of Lake Kyaring , the Crane mentally activated its Dorje of Power , which was in the Throne of the King of the World , in Chang Shambhala , and transformed the Lama into a male naga snake . They then mated with ardor , leaving the Crane Rigden Jyepo pregnant with the naga serpent . After that homosexual act , before departing , the Divine Crane laid two saffron-colored eggs .

Dusk means Pain . The Duskhas constituted “ the family of Dusk ”, that is to say , the Sons of Pain .
