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 forced the Druid's soul to enter the body of Forest Boy, so that Forest Boy could become the Druid of the Wood and restore life to the dying world of Hobbitozz. Forest Boy now has two spirits (or perhaps more if this has happened to the Druid before) and assumes the role of the Druid of the Wood. As such, 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 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 responsible 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, planets and dimensions and subjects him to various trials and tribulations. As the Druid, now Sine, lays on his bed of light in his sacred grove on Hobbitozz and his spirit experiences these challenging ordeals, he is able to provide life and sustenance to all living things on the planet, unless, of course, he somehow fails one of the Spirit Usher’s tests.

It is unknown to Sine where the Spirit Usher is taking him, but along the way, through space and time, the laws of physics and the principle of relativity seem to have become deranged.

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 of 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 challenges 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 acquire 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.

The Man Who Played the Sound Waves": In an effort to pull Sine out of his nostalgic funk, the Spirit Usher introduces him to the Man Who Played the Sound Waves, who explains how he turns sound waves into light waves inside his mind allowing him to travel through space and time. Sine learned about the Man Who Played the Sound Waves when he climbed the Tree Of Life on Hobbitozz. He is the only other person aside from Sine and the Spirit Usher who can approach the Tree Of Life without being torn apart by its vibrations. The Man Who Played the Sound Waves must occasionally travel to Hobbitozz to tune the Tree (to the key of D). This is only necessary every few thousand years. However, it had become a more frequent necessity as the previous Druid became increasingly unable to sustain life on Hobbitozz and the tree would go out of tune more often.

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 Down Below World 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.

Sine has completed his first series of tests that the Spirit Usher subjected him to here on the planet of Progkp, thus fortifying his mind so that he can restore and sustain life on Hobbitozz via the body of the Druid of the Wood. He is now Aleph Adept, but the Spirit Usher is about to escort Sine to his next series of trials, this time inside the planet of Progkp, a place the inhabitants call Down Below World.
