Chapter 11

Falling down the water fall

The two adventurous arrived back to the south shore and Kai saw that every where was just as it was before, but she did not want to be seen and had to go round the back to reach the cave. In the meantime Kilu who pretended to be a explorer looking to get some samples ask one of the villagers if he could get some samples and in exchange he give them some bottles that he had in his sack and the villager was delighted and let Kilu pick the samples as soon as the coast was clear and Kai had managed to get to the cave, he to joined her in the cave entrance.

The waterfall

Kilu and Kai find an opening though the cave, but the opening was covered in moss and leaves and they could here a sound of water falling beyond. Kilu took a step forward and suddenly felt himself falling and Kai who wondered what had happened ran forward and she too started to fall giving out a scream and trying to grab hold of the side trying to stop her decent finding it too slippery, thinking she was going to die. Kai landed on top of Kilu in a large pond.
'Where are we? Kai asking no one in particular, when she noticed a crowd of children staring at them.
'This is the West Shore!' One of the children said.
Then she heard one of the adults say come and have a look, two more have fallen down the waterfall.'
Kilu and Kai looked at each other wondering how many others have fallen down the waterfall.
Kai saw someone she recognised from her own village and saw it was her older sister Kaki and her mate Buru, and asked, 'how did you get here?'
'Same way as you down the waterfall, and who is this you brought with you, I never seen him in our village?'
'Oh, this is Kilu, he came from the north shore, we not staying long we got to pick something up and be on our way again.'
Kaki said slightly disappointed, won't you stay for the celebrations? We always celebrate new villagers from the other tribe.'
'Okay since you're my sister and Kilu and I will stay a little longer until we find what we're looking for then we got to go.

The celebration

All the villagers put on a great feast for Kilu and Kai and when they found that Kai was a master in 3 skills which was science; farming and healing to her surprised made a totem in her name. Kai never thought she was a master in 3 skills, but only thought them as her normal jobs she did. Where she came from and as a scientist never got to carry on researching needing no tech points and also in this village like Kilu's village use the tech points to buy clothes. Kai wished they had a clothing hut in her village feeling that her village where she came from was the poorer village. Yet she knew her village made do and felt they were far richer in each other. The villagers all got new clothes for the occasion and got Kilu and Kai fitted out with new clothes. Kilu picked a green outfit and Kai after long consideration, choose a blue dress as blue was her favourite colour.

The villagers celebrated in the centre of the village by dancing and feasting into the night. Kai wondered where they were going to sleep and Kali told her she can sleep in her hut.

Where is the third peace of map?

The following day, Kai found the spot where the third peace of map was located; it was buried under the gong of wonder. However Kai never seemed to get the chance to retrieve the peace of map, as every time there was always someone there admiring the gong of wonder. When one went another would go up to it.

The Ringing of the gong of wonder is near

One of the villagers said, 'it soon be time to ring the gong of wonder, we wonder who the guiding hand will choose?'
Kai was a bit afraid of been the chosen one and wished she took a chance to get the third peace of map as she had heard that sometimes and the gong took life and it mostly granted food or tech knowing she still had the mission to do, also she hoped that Kilu would not be chosen. As she knew it was a gamble Ringing the gong of wonder was like playing roulette game.
