Chapter 13

Kai has twin girls

Kai and Kilu both had uneventful two years, Kai looked after the twin babies and Kilu took to farming, as it was a gong affect that Kai had twins and there were 21 children all age two at the same time, so they had a children's party and a naming ceremony of all the two year olds. As there were so many children to name the mums argued about other mums giving the same names to their children as theirs, then Kai had an idea and she wrote names down on parchment material that was kept in the science hut. She put the boy's names in one bowl and the girl's names in the other bowl and some names that could be either boy and girl names Kai wrote twice and put them in the two bowls. Kai then put the two bowls in the ground at the centre mosaic as she thought this was a good place to have the naming ceremony. All the mothers agreed it was a good idea and also thought it appropriate as all children was the gift of life from the GOW. Kai told them that it might be a good idea to do the naming ceremony at high noon that is when the Isola sun is at its peek.

The Naming ceremony

The mums made a circle round mosaic and each one took turns to pick a name out of one of the bowls; if the mum had a male she would pick a name from the male bowl or vice visor. Kai had told them when they choose the name out of the bowls at random is not to look what name they had until they all picked them. Kai decided this was best in case any of the mums might not like the name they had chosen and she told them that what ever name they had, is the name that was fated for her child for life. Once all the mums had picked the names and want back to their places, Kai then told them to look what name was written on the parchment. When Kai looked at the two names for her twins was surprised that the names was what her great, great grandparents and aunty were named which were Lulu and Lisha. She remembered when her mother told her about them that they were twin's girls too. Kai began to weep a little thinking about her home. Then she noticed that the entire mum's where looking kind of emotional as each one saw the names they had picked randomly. It was like as if the names they were to name their children had brought back distant memories, for some names were Seven, Ema, Ashby, and so on. The twins of Kai had long black hair which sometimes the hair would get caught round the neck as they turned their heads, so she named her children Lulu and Lisha knowing that her great, great grandmother/aunt would be proud of their great, great granddaughter/niece, had remembered them. This was very strange as she could not remember writing such names down, but many strange things do happen in Isola that cannot be explained.

Kilu had finished fishing and he was wondering if Kai had forgotten about the quest as she had not spoken about it since she had a baby and decided to remind her of it as soon as the naming ceremony was over. Then Kai came over baby free and the two girls went off to play Tag. Then she told him giving him a shock he never expected, that was, 'I want another baby.'
Kilu asked, 'What about the quest and the key to the bronze box?'
Then she explained to him which was another shock, but it explained everything as she told him that the only way that the key could be located is when the child of the GOW rang the GOW would grant vision and the vision would show where the key is located.'
Will we get plenty of time for many children as they won't be old enough to ring the gong until they are 14?
Kilu said but I might be dead by then as you know my youth was taken when I drank from a vial,'
'Oh' Kai said as if she remembered something and then she brought out a vial and told him to drink it.
Kilu looked at her suspected and said, what will this do to me.
'It will reverse it and you will be young again!!' explained Kai.
'I am a child again.'
Kai explained that she had added something that it was slightly less strong and he just becomes a teenager, hopefully the age he is now which he was now 19 and Kilu was now 20 but had a hair and body of a 70 year old and he walked much slower now.
Kilu took the vial and Cautiously began to drink from it, and at the same time Kai was keeping her fingers crossed behind her back in case it did not work or worst, might turn him into a toddler or... she did not want to think just in case.
