Abstract
The excessive consumption of resources, not returning our bodies to the earth, the accumulation of material things, not letting the passage of time follow, the separation of territories and the struggle between humans for world power, leaving aside the natural and vital.
A vast universe that is difficult for humans to understand, where essential Kaijus (monsters) bring balance without distinction or mortal preference. The Celtic order of the Hogda was persecuted and almost extinct for seeking the invocation of the essential Kaijus.
Father Krespi is one of the last of the order, he is a great connoisseur of rites and a passionate collector of artifacts from world cultures. Some time ago he received a clue from the Shuar Jemcham that leads him to suppose that there is a place deep within the Tayos Cave where the ancient Celtic artifact lies among hundreds of relics of the ancient world waiting to be activated.
Facts & Fiction
ll
The motivation to carry out ¨Ritual at Tayos Cave¨ Start with the mysteries that revolve around the cave, that there is a metallic library with the history of mankind, archaeological objects from the ancient world, that Neil Armstrong in 1976 was part of an expedition in its interior, encounters with infraterrestrials, the looting and burning of the Father Crespi Museum etc ...
lll
All this mystery generated a question for me.

All this mystery generated a question for me.
¨What if among all these objects inside the cave there is one of Celtic Origin ¨
And what if father ¨Krespi¨ is on a secret mission greater than the church.
