Basil has asked that I, Kharzai Djinn, write out this last blog post. As if I were not already busy enough translating Argan’s hand written scrolls, codexes, and journals as it is, he wants me to say something about endings, so here goes.
This, faithful listener, is the final chapter in the saga of KAZ, the definite end of the adventure. This is the part where from here the reader/listener will have the rest of the story play out in their own imaginations. What happens to the characters that survive? How do they live on? Does life go on as usual for them or do they just fade into the background and cease to be?
I can tell you that after this adventure I certainly continue on (both in your imagination and in my own!). At the end of every story I move on to my next mission, which may be in this world, or may be in another. That said most Djinn, in the even you meet one other than myself, don’t really share their goings on with mere mortals unless they want you to write their story. Plus sometimes it is illegal for us to tell you what is going on in the other realm, humans do tend to get panicky about things they don’t really understand.
Speaking of stories, Argan most certainly does continue right on to the next, which I am intently translating from Goryeomal, the language of ancient Goryeo, was spoken and written long before the advent of the Hangul alphabet used in Korea today. Although called “Middle Korean” it was written in old-Chinese. Plus translating some of the idioms and colloquialisms of 13th century Asian countries, especially when interracting between Goryeo, Chinese and Mongol speakers, gets a little tricky. Working on it though, working on it.
In the case of the order of the Argan stories you will read/listen to on this substack site you will notice they are not in any particular time frame order. The ones I’ve translated so far go from 2nd Century BC Sumeria, to NAZI controlled Lithuania, to the Pacific Northwest in 1805, and next to medieval Korea, Goryeo, in 1240 as the Mongols assert their rule.
Hopefully by the time you’ve finished processing what you just read/listened to in KAZ, the next story will be starting up right here in this same channel.
In the meantime run over to Amazon or Audible or where ever you buy books and audiobooks and get a copy of Basil’s full length novels. He has a bunch of them, and I am in most of them. He left me out of a couple mainly because I was actually not there for that story, he just could not wait to start an adventure without me there to give him guidance (IE harass him and make silly faces).

Well…this is the end of this story.
See you in the next.
