PROLOGUE:
Your father lies in the hospital, terminally ill; weak, emaciated, hollow-cheeked and deep-set eyes, he looks at you as you quietly enter his room.

Nevertheless he stands up: 'Hello Junior!' Actually, this salutation always makes you boil, but at the moment you don't care at all.

You only see your father in front of you, whom you have understood and loved more than ever since your last adventure.

'Junior, sit down!' Without preamble, your father reports on his last search: 'Our expedition consisted of 15 men. We were looking for the blue diamond. This diamond is the symbol of time. But then one after the other disappeared; we found some of them shattered in a nearby canyon.
Others simply went missing. So it happened that in the end only Marcus and I were left. The two of us reached the temple where the diamond is hidden. When we had already overcome many traps, we got lost in a maze. We lost sight of each other. Later I found Marcus impaled on a stake... '
Your father has tears in his eyes and you have a big lump in your throat too. 'I can't tell you more.

Because suddenly I lost consciousness and found myself in a barren landscape. It was only by chance that I reached a village and was rescued. The natives were very helpful. They took me to the nearest airport, where a small transport plane took me. I gave the chief my diary out of gratitude and to be on the safe side, so that the Nazis would not get hold of it. When you see him, give him my regards... JUNIOR! '

Your father claws your arm: 'You HAVE to find the blue diamond. I always had too little time for you. With the help of the diamond I could make up for some of it...! ' Your father's eyes are feverish... 'and my thoughts will always be with you. But never use the diamond with your bare hands... ARGH! '

Your father sinks back unconscious. The doctor almost throws you out because your father needs a lot of rest now. You go straight to his last place of research and reread all the reports to know roughly where to begin your search. From now on, you are entirely on your own. You will be entering the Black Continent for the first time, where you will encounter unknown cultures and dangers. But this time your opponents are not monsters or Nazis, but time itself. May God be with you!

After you've packed your things, you take the next flight to Africa, where you will soon be entering the jungle. Your father said that his mind was always with you... Hopefully it wasn't just a saying, because you could use any help.
