Hobbitozz...A Land That Never Was, The Planet of Progkp's predecessor, ends with the hero Forest Boy sacrificing the Druid of the Wood in a ceremonial blood ritual which allowed Forest Boy's soul to enter the Druid's body and restore life to the dying world of Hobbitozz, and to the Druid itself. It is after his spirit has entered the body of the Druid that he receives a new name "Sine," and then is ushered away by the Spirit Usher to the Planet of Progkp. *Who* gives Sine his true name or *how* he receives it is not known. It is almost as though the universe itself has bestowed the name upon him.
The Spirit Usher holds an important place in the greater Hobbitozz/Progkp universe, and is perhaps is more important than we even know. She is a very powerful entity who is able to usher spirits from one world to another. Now that Forest Boy has become Sine and is resposible for all eternity to provide life to the planet of Hobbitozz as the Druid of the Wood, the Spirit Usher comes to him. The way that the Druid's mind is kept fortified is that the Spirit Usher takes his spirit to different worlds/dimensions, which are ultimately tests the Druid, now Sine, must pass, thereby strengthening his mind and his ability to provide life to the world of Hobbitozz as he lies on his bed of light and his roots enter the ground and connect to all living things on the planet.
It is unknown to Sine where the Spirit Usher is taking him, but along the way, through space and time, it is apparent the laws of physics and relativity have deranged, or perhaps Sine has just become deranged himself.
The Spirit Usher warns Sine about Shadow People who inhabit the dark matter of space, and whose existence defies understanding, contemplation of which could destroy one's mind.
The Spirit User and Sine arrive at their destination, the planet Progkp, and it's a world unlike any other where shadows reign and the sun has set forever.
In the first of three tests, the Spirit Usher takes Sine down to sea level and tempts him to see level.
For the second test, the Spirit Usher attempts to persuade Sine to think like her, be like her, see like her and live like her in order to have Clarity, Clarity.
Sine, in a moment of weakness, begins longing for his life on Hobbitozz, when his mother and father were still alive, before the burden of saving his planet was placed on him.
In an effort to pull Sine out of his nostalgic funk, the Spirit Usher introduces him to an inhabitant of Progkp, one whom Sine might now from Hobbitozz, the Man Who Played the Sound Waves, who tends the Tree Of Life on Hobbitozz, making sure it is in tune. The Man Who Played the Sound Waves explains how he can turn sound waves into light waves inside his mind in order to travel through space and time.
The Man Who Played the Sound Waves encourages Sine to feel the atoms, which vibrate in the key of D in perpetuity.
The Man Who Played the Sound Waves informs Sine that there is a star in his mind and a world in his hands, and that his heart intermediates between the two.
After delving deep into his psyche to feel the atoms and then exploring the triad of mind, hands and heart, Sine senses the cosmos of his mind expanding.
Sine arrives at a structure constructed from the Hallowed Bones of the Alien Elven Souls (The Temple of the Avian Aliens). It is a temple the ancient Progkpians built to honor the beings they thought were gods who landed on their planet and then died shortly thereafter, but not before providing the Progkpians with knowledge of how to survive their dying planet (which as we will find out in the next album, was to burrow into the planet itself.)
Sine enters the temple and undergoes his third and final test: an initiation, conducted by the Alien Elven Souls, in which Sine becomes Aleph Adept.
Having passed through the first series tests which strengthen his mind so that he can restore and provide life to the world of Hobbitozz via the body of the Druid of the Wood, the Spirit Usher, the Man Who Played the Sound Waves, and the Alien Elven Souls send off Sine from the planet of Progkp to his next trial world (which turns out to be Progkp itself, though not the uninhabitable planet surface, but the underworld where the Progkpians fled centuries ago to escape Progkp's atmosphere which had become toxic).
