Chapter 12

The Gong of Wonder is rang

Kai had not had the chance to get the third peace of the map that was buried beneath the gong. She suddenly had an idea how she could recover it, as long as she was not chosen to ring GoW. Kai told Kilu about the plan and the plan was to wait until the person ringing the GoW, which is when every one runs to see what the gong had granted or taken. This would be an opportune moment to run with the others and as every one is too busy abserving the GoW to notice her digging a hole to retrieve the map. If she is chosen she would have to work out a plan B, which is a bit more complicated

Who is chosen?

Kai and Kilu watch as the guiding hand moved towards them and Kai was saying please don't pick me I don't live here. Then too her releaf the hand just passed over her head and Kilu was chosen, Oh no please don't let it be bad, he is needed.

Kilu was please he was chosen and wondered why Kai was making such a fuss, maybe she might be jealous, but he knew she did not want to be chosen and maybe she was afraid and said to her to treat it as an honour and she should not fear for him, as nothing could happen to him. Then he reminded her to dig up the map and he thought of an idea, was as soon as he rings the gong, he would help her by getting down to dig for the map during the commotion.

Kilu rings the gong

Kilu prepared to ring the gong and he picked up a mallet and prepared to strike at the gong that was fully charge with energy as he could see the sparkly lights coming from it. He realised this was a powerful instrument full of magic powers, like a magicians wand but a lot more powerful. Kilu the same as others before him struck the gong and it give out a mighty boom that could be heard for several miles away and it gave off very bright sparkly lights that blinded him, this give him the opportunity moment to get down and dig for the map. All the villages came running, to observe it and saw that the gong granted life and Kai as she was running not realising she was with child like many others, as she dug to retrieve the map with the help of Kilu managed to dig up a bronze box that contained the hidden peace. Kai suddenly felt sick and then realised she was with child and wondered how it happened Kilu told her the gong granted life and all the female villagers that were between 50 and 18 had babies. Kai said, 'But I'm only 17' Kilu said, 'Will you must have turned 18 you know we been travelling for a long time you knew.'
Kai realised she just missed her 18th birthday and, thought what a time to have a baby and triplets at that I don't believe it. 'You know what this means Kilu I won't be able to continue the quest, so you have to go alone.'
'No way,' Kilu said, I know it going to be a two year delay but, we have plenty of time, we're still young and besides, we got the bronze box that has the next peace of the map. The bad news is it's locked and once again we need to find the key, so after your babies are old enough, we the can continue our quest.' Kilu added, 'Anyway it was my fault you got into this as I was the one who rang the gong of wonder.'
