The Underworld has a ruler. His name is Hades and he was having fun with his
and Persphone daughter, Ciryi.  Ciryi had gotten Persphone's successfully
planning as well as his good judgement. Hades was waiting the next arrival of
Hermes, the messager of god. Hermes walked slowly to Ciryi. 

"We got a new shop owner." Hermes remarked as he tooked out Miro's shop form.

"What's is Earth name?" asked Hades. 

"Miro." Hermes read off the form.

"Isn't he friends the one of the sons of the Wizard?" Ciryi asked. 

Hades remarked "Don't now--if he is from the orginal dimisonal of the Wizard, but 
he is a friends with a few humans--Don't know their names--but
I think the forms was fill-out before he got transported
by wizard."

Hermes remarked "I think I could recall the wizard's real name--it's been forgetten
as much as the name first shopper."

"I heard a legend that rebirth of first shop keeper with defeat the Wizard."

"Any souls?"

"A few." Hermes remarked as he told the first soul enter the gates, past
the three head wolf-like creature, and go to the Justic Plans. 

"Looks Middle-Eastern? Maybe Iraq." Ciryi remarked.

"That lot you get for a moron being in running a country." Hades remarked.

"Iraq?" Ciryi questioned.

"No, the United States of America." Hades answered.

/Wake up, you lazy shop keeper./ 

"Mom, just five more seconds." groaned a sleeping Miro. 

Pochi slaped Miro. 

"I'm up! I'm up!" Miro remarked. "Where is everybody?"

/Mostly still a sleep on the 2 floor./

"I thought it was a one floor shop." Miro remarked.

/Theo's idea. We got a great amount of entry--thanks to the Elder
God and the Wizard./ 

Miro groaned. "I bet you have another reason to wake me."

/Your Shop Keeper ID have arrival--and well as a list
of Shops./

"Do you know the name of the Wizard's Shop?" Miro.

/I looked. The Wizard is not listed, but you are. It's under
the J's./

Miro quicky looked throw the books, and discover that Pochie
was right. Near the end of the J's section on page 241,
was his Shop Name--"Just What You Need", and his name, Miro Orim.

/Orim?/ 

"watch it, Pochie or I come with a worst name for you!" Miro remarked. 

/We have
two Goddess--Hermes and Hades, and one Goddess, Ciryi have sent you test/

"Tests? I think that lizard, that Dark God and that Wizard were tough
tests."

/Look on the bright say--all of three of them buy well--Hades is
far the best--but he's tougher then the other three. On the next
hardest is Ciryi--but she's sweeter then sugar cane and coca beans. 
Third is Hermes./

"How along until I have to reply?"

/About a 1 hour before it melts like a ice cream on a 89 degress
day./

"I will take 2 hours to wake everybody up.....I have pick on.....but
which one..?" Miro


Miro picked up one of the forms, and open it up.....


###########END 13B##############################################################

Which god or goddess did Miro pick? Can he do it? Find up in 14B. The rumors
that Goddess were talking earlier, may  be a red herring or the truth. It's up
to the next writer to work that out....
