      Arona perfect focus mind
      growing process, gone self within.
      Dragon seen truth
      apparently far understood magic body
      Finn beautiful, morning asked space, eyes, world seemed inside
      air feel energies close
      link familiar?
      forgotten already years mean face
      Twilight singing, soon change flowing
      Perhaps girl read star
      turned to sleep, ask energy dreams

      Sam decided to organize a party in a slightly sidewayed region of RA1. He was busy setting the inner landscape, the traps and the different attractions…
      He asked Becky if she could take care of the dream or meditation triggers like the famous yurt of Rafaela. They’ll need lots of them to offer entrances to their friends .

      Sam just sent a message to Al and Tina so they could do whatever they wanted to add some fun or drama to this little party.

      I wonder how delightful it may feel to become one with that butterfly, mused Franiel, his attention diverted from the job at hand as he followed the dance of a delicate white butterfly. He closed his eyes for a moment and merged with the creature, how free ! He sighed, trying somewhat reluctantly to pull himself back. Franiel had been sat there for quite some time now, supposedly engaged in the task of writing a short poem of 3 stanzas for Hrih, the Old One.

      Of course there was no pressure. Yet in his desire to please, Franiel felt it as such. In his dreams of the previous night Hrih had visited him. He had offered Franiel a golden crown, a silver goblet filled with sweet nectar, and a jewelled sword. Choose! commanded Hrih. Franiel had chosen the goblet and drank thirstily from it, and yet he had felt that Hrih was not pleased with his choice, and upon wakening Franiel had felt a strange uneasiness.

      Franiel had not been trained in the way of the pen, and he knew his words would be clumsy. He had been raised in a poor home, where words were not considered to be of much value other than to instruct him in his tasks, or berate him when those tasks were not completed. Being a dreamy child, this had often been the case.

      He wished he could harness the power of words and use them to soothe and caress, to create beauty even, he thought, gently running his finger over the plain wooden table where he was seated.

      Well for now he would not worry what form his words should take, for it was enough of a task even to know what his highest truth might be!

      My highest truth .. my highest truth, … how many times now had he said these words, hoping perhaps if he repeated them enough the gods might take pity on his for his ignorance and provide an answer. How could he possibly know his highest truth? The very concept of such a thing perplexed him.

      Day was turning into night before Franiel finally laid down his pen. In the end his words were simple. He sighed, saddened by the thought that they would surely be a disappointment. The best I can hope for is that the Old One will see these words as nothing more than a doorway to my soul. Hrih was wise, Franiel knew this, and trusted the decision of the Old One.

      It was in the hands of the gods, for surely if I can’t trust this at least, all my fine talk and learning is for nothing.

      I am the driftwood
      the wave carried me
      I was buried in sand

      I am the flower
      the butterfly touched me
      I fell in love

      I am the raindrop
      the cloud released me
      I became the ocean

        Poêléed foie gras, goat tagine, roquette fig salad, sherry trifle, serrano ham, lobster in ginger…..

        Manon was going over her holiday menu and lists, wondering how on earth she would manage to cater for all tastes. What a houseful it was going to be.

        …..scallion soy sauce, steak and kidney pie, wild mushroom soup, ostrich fillets with dauphine potatoes, rhubarb crumble….

        …..Cuthbert! OY! Manon grabbed the boy as he rushed past grabbing a hot mince pie on his way to the stables.

        Here, take this with you, she said, thrusting a basket towards him, crushing the pastry he was clutching, and spilling hot mince all over his hand.

        AAArrgghh! MaNON! Cuthbert licked his burnt palm and glared at the cook.

        Manon gave him a swift slap round the back of the head and said, That’s your own bloody fault for nicking it in the first place. Go and pick the mushrooms for the soup, and some rhubarb for the crumble, and bring me some greens, too.

        Cuthbert groaned, But MaNON……..

        Bugger off and do it! Ask that Bill to help you, he just went outside, hurry and you’ll catch him.

          The Cat: By-the-bye, what became of the baby? I’d nearly forgotten to ask.
          Alice: It turned into a pig.
          The Cat: I thought it would.

            Franci, far too busy herself to start a new discussion, has asked me, on her behalf, to start a Quiz section. Let me put that another way, Franci and I were…oh hang on, news hot off the press, Eric has a quiz plug somewhere….

            Test your grasp on the storys plot! Have you really remembered all the connections? Can YOU name who is whose focus? And what about the timeline, do you really know? Test yourself here, in the coming posts.

TED wondered ABOUT THE saloon, AND BECKY WONDERED ABOUT DR bronklehampton AND ALL THAT money. CLUES within key POINTS following huge COMMENTS, ALL happening NOW.

                  Tina wrapped a long knitted scarf around her neck and shivered. Becky Pooh, I think I am getting sick like you.

                  Oh for fucks sake Tina, you can’t get sick! You are a saint!

                  You be the saint, Becky. You would be a much better saint than me. I will ask Sam, I am sure he will make you a saint

                  Becky spluttered into the phone, You are sick aren’t you Tina!

                  :fleuron:

                  Becky is so much fun, isn’t she! Al called out brightly from the bathroom. The first time I met her, I thought “what a fun girl she is!”

                  Oh yes, she is, responded Tina weakly.

                  Tina reflected on her first meeting with Becky. The first time I met her I called her by the wrong name. She was very good about it. She said people were always calling her by the wrong name.

                  Huh? Well, I might ask you the same question, Aronikins. I’ve been waiting here for absolutely AGES. Sanso wondered if Arona was quite well after her long absence. Are you OK, dear? he asked kindly. Poor thing seemed to think it was he, Sanso, who had been off wandering around.

                  The old abbot Hrih, was coming back from the gardens of the Monastery, the soil dampened and muddied by the heavy rains of the season sticking to the sole of his sandals. Hrih Chokyam loved to be reacquainted with the rawness of nature, and the fluidity that the rain provided to the ground by transforming it into malleable mud.

                  He was bringing back vegetables for the dinner’s soup, and was amazed at the fact that even though he had felt so close to the earth, barefooted in his sandals, he had not even a drop of mud on him.

                  He had delayed his choice for much too long already, and the not so subtle pressing of his main confident Aum Geong to officially elect his successor was making him unquiet. He was deeply trustful of Aum Geog, and of his sincerity as a Holder of the clear Light that was being tapped into, channeled and refined by the Monastery’s spiritual endeavours.
                  But Hrih was feeling that Aum Geong’s views were slightly too narrow for the heavy task he was wanting him to carry on.
                  He was too good at creating structures and rules, and Hrih felt that even if all done in good intent, it would be taking the risk of chocking the great outburst of powerful energy that was lying at the very foundations of the Monastery.

                  The young man that he had noticed a few hexades1 ago, though very discreet seemed bright and very dedicated to his task. He had been greeted by all, and had soon felt at home. Franiel, as he was named, was under the tutelage of Jog Lam, a very wise (albeit young) monk that Hrih had adopted some years ago as the parents had been abandoning him a young baby at the eternally opened doors of the Monastery.

                  Hrih had made a decision. He would not play favourites. Seeing the blank black Meditation Wall, an idea crossed his mind. He would announce at the dinner that the monks willing to do it could do a short poem of 3 stanzas where they would express their highest truth on the Meditation Wall…

                    Annabel Ingman beamed at Felicty. She was delighted that the interviews were going so well: four perfect ‘dead guys’ already, and 57 more applicants to interview.

                    Welcome to the team Felicity, I’m sure you’ll love it here. We focus on fun, not facts, so just say whatever you want to, and you’ll be fine.

                    Felicity returned the smile. I can’t wait to start, Annabel, thanks.

                    Oh, by the way, what’s the name of your DG?

                    Hhhmmm, Oh, er, Oliver Twist, replied Felicity, Yeah, Oliver Twist.

                    Oliver Twist, cool, so that’ll be the ‘Ask DOT’ session then. See you on Friday!

                      ‘Ask DDT’ was becoming so popular that plans were being made to recruit more ‘dead guys’. The online phone-in radio show, featuring channeled Dead Dick Tracy, was swamped with callers lately, and despite increasing the length of the show to an incredible 5 hours, dozens of callers left disappointed, their questions unanswered.

                      Anita woke up in a strange world. She wasn’t in the plane. Her parents were not here. She began to feel afraid but a movement in her periphery made her look on her left.

                      — MeoWrrrl! It’s about time Pashi, you slept for about 3 days. We had some difficulties bringing you in this safe place. But the spiders are looking for you.

                      — Lynxie! Where are my parents?

                      She woke up and hugged the Lynx.

                      — Wowl Wowl, they had been taken by the spiders. That was their choice. In a manner of speaking they did it so you could live. We used their loving energy to focus and take you away of all that mess.

                      — The spiders? What spiders? How can a spider take an adult? You mean there were a lot of them?

                      — Meowmm! A lot yes, and also quite huge ones. But you already know them. And…

                      Araili’s gaze blurred for a few seconds and Anita felt that he was accessing her energy.

                      — Their Elder, she knows you also, you are connected strongly. You’ll meet her in time. Meowrrrrrl :yahoo_eyelashes: Are you hungry?

                      The little question distract her attention from all what she was about to ask about her parents and the situation. Yes she was quite hungry, but Lynxie said she’d been sleeping for 3 days? Her stomach was growling quite loudly.

                      — Yes, I think so.

                      Flap, flap, flap. :yahoo_angel:

                      — Oh Owlie! :bounce:

                      A beautiful SnOwl was bringing the breakfast. A basket with fruits and breads and all that she could have imagined for her breakfast.

                      — Pashi, Araili had told me you were awake, the others are coming. Rafaela is bringing your some milk ;)) I’m sure you’ll enjoy it.

                        Sam chuckled when Becky and Saint Tina asked him about the bandages :yahoo_heehee:

                        — Well, it’s the :mummy: . It’s obvious she exploded in the center of a Constipation Point, and Ogrean was just in the center of the Excitement Point of the Constipation Prout. :yahoo_rofl:

                        Becky looked even more puzzled, and Tina began to laugh widely with Sam.

                        — I just needed to let the anger burst out… it seemed a harmless way of getting rid of that fracking mummy and having fun in the process.

                            Sam has been calling me Saint Tina lately, said Tina

                            Oh for fucks sake Saint Tina, okay I will do it, said Becky

                            Do you think it suits me, you know the “saint” thing? I rather like it. Sam is such a sweetie-pooh said Tina.

                              This Ogrean character seems to be getting alot of stick, eh, Tina, Becky was frowning.

                              Yeah, Tina agreed, Bit OTT if you ask me. Dunno what all that’s about.

                              Seems like a scapegoat really, Becky mused, but in truth she was perplexed.

                              Ted was quite fond of Ogrean.
                              Twilight was a bit sorry for the sheriff, for she had thought him a good guy at first,… whatever that means… but obviously he was a bit blinded by the slickness of the slimy condescending Pompousaur.

                              But something interesting had happened this day, and she wondered how it would change things again.
                              Apparently, from what she had caught from the scene, Ted had left the saloon in a cold rage, and it was quite obvious that the Pudgeon was a bit distraught… What could have moved the jovial sheriff like that?

                              When she and Anna were changing clothes behind the scene after the representation, Anna started to talk quite freely and unexpectedly about the accident.

                              — That Marshall guy is not as silly as he seems…

                              As she was more talking to herself, Twilight didn’t answer.

                              — What d’ya reckon? Anna asked more directly
                              — Oh me? I don’t really know what happened…
                              — Don’t play dumb with me, girl. You’re smarter than you wanna show.

                              Twilight took some time to ponder…
                              — I don’t think that Ogrean tried to bribe the sheriff, not as obviously…
                              — Yeah…
                              — Apparently, he started to explain the sheriff who he was supposed to arrest, and that didn’t please him the least.
                              — More likely, yes. Definitely sounds like him…
                              Anna?
                              — Yes?

                              Twilight almost wanted to tell her how she did understand Anna and how it must have been difficult for her with that child from Mc Gaughran, but she couldn’t express all of that.

                              Terry is sweet.
                              — Yes he is, he’s a lovely boy. I love him so much despite…
                              — I know.

                              When she came back to their ranch, Twilight felt relieved somewhat about what had occurred. Perhaps that this era of heavy cloaked ruthless order incarnated by Ogrean was coming to an end.
                              She was a hopeless dreamer.

                                Arona finally managed to fall into a restless sleep.

                                She dreamt she was walking down a narrow alleyway between a row of old brick houses. A woman hanging multicoloured shawls on a washing line called out to her.

                                Where are you going? asked the lady. Are you lost or something? Do you need some co-ordinate points?

                                oh no, said Arona, I am just checking out the other side. I heard there is chocolate over there. It is through that gate I think.

                                The lady recoiled in horror. The other side! NO, you don’t want to go to the other side. I went to the other side once and I was never the same again. They all say I am mad now. No stay here and help me with the laundry.

                                Arona hesitated. A rabbit, a lynx and a toad rushed down the alleyway. Woooooo Hoooooo, they shouted. We are going to the other side toooooooooooooo.

                                Mad, said the woman shaking her head, completely bonkers I am afraid, and she threw fairy dust on Arona.

                                :fleuron:

                                Arona wakened from her strange dream feeling oddly refreshed. It was morning. She started making her way happily back towards the cave, anxious to see her friends again.
