"Return of the King...forgive me, the Prince!"

"What do we do now, Gandalf. How do we escape from the destruction of middle-earth?".

Gandalf, with a thoughtful face, replied " Master Hobbit, Pippin of the shire,no one can escape the malice of this aus-dor evil..even the shire-folks who play peaceful cricket in brownstone, corec or armory will come under attack one day. This dark lord has determined to destroy each and every cricket-child born in middle-earth Myindia. But, don't let your heart be troubled. The dark lord is evil enough, but the king...forgive me, the prince will return and save us".

Pippin was still unconvinced, "Dark lord was dead...killed long back"..before he could finish the statement, the flash-news on TV was showing Gregourn (i.e. our version of sauron) talking to reportes "our team is still young, so we lost by 100 runs. But We can do much better than this..." and then Grgourn relased a wicked smile, which only Gandalf could decode. The great wizard thought to himself "Note that wicked smile on his face..when he says much better, he means that to get defeated by 150 runs in our next match.."

"Master Pippin, you should understand onething; Gregourn has returned. His spirit was lurking around in Aus-dor to get an opportnity to return to life. Once it got the position as the doom-coach to the Myindia team, it grew much stronger, and even taking up a human form, as you can see. Then slowly it kicked out the elves, and men, and recruited orcs and uruk-hais into the team, and the most dangerous ring-wraiths. He has recruited 3 ring-wraiths, as I hear....Ra-in-bo`w, son of sures-shish, Pat-ana`e son of Irfanish, and the most evil Aj-ii`it A-aa-gaaa-kar. He has put a spell on remaining people". Gandalf suddenly paused here for a moment, and looked slowly at all the sides confirming no spies were around and continued...

"That is why you see the captain Draw-out-wits of Ragullom always repeating the same set of sentences 'Boys are young and we must play well'. However he does not realise that he has been saying this for the past 2 decades. Note that ragullom sounds like "raagu gaalam", the most ancient curse in the language of tam-dor land."

"But how come we have so many supporters for him, knowing Gregourn is bad", asked Pippin.

"It is the black magic. Everyone believed his tricks as he is from the land of aus-dor, and trusted that he is a good coach. However, he is the evil to wipe out the lives of cricket-men & cricket-elves"

"Gandalf, I cannot anymore listen to this evil story. What is the solution to all of this", Pippin asked with the atmost concerned look ever a hobbit has had in history.

"My dear little hobbit, you've asked the right the question at the right moment. The prince is going to return and defeat the Dark Lord Gregourn. In fact, he has returned!"

Pippin thinks little more, and his face brightens slowly when he realises that the prince is none other than:

"Sau-ar-gon, son of Gang-thorn"

With this, the conversation ends, and Pippin goes to sleep. The wizard Gandalf sets on his shadowfax for a journey to the capitol of middle earth, Gon-del`h-or.
