The next day, after the first of the Three Stones were placed in the door, Chief Ahi, the first Chief of Isola died.
There was great mourning.
After a time, the Robe waited for another to don it.
First it was the children, then the adults.
Surely it would fit Elf!
No!
It was the beloved Taji who was now Chief.
And @ 59 years old and a Master Parent, she was well prepared to lead our tribe.

A year later, while working in the Alchemy, her eldest granddaughter, Tashi watching her every move, Taji stumbled across a potion that was rather interesting.
One part Rose. One part Lotus. And one part Cactus. Taking some of the potions, Taji felt light and springy.
Hmmm, Taji thought. This gave her an idea.
There was a Ruby key upon a Cliff's edge that no one could reach. But the potion made Taji feel she could reach it.
And she did!
So, the Second of Three Stones were in their place.

Little Tashi loved hanging about what she called "Grannie's Alchemy."
Grannie would always come up with something fun.
Like two part Rose and one lotus caused everyone to dance, even Grandfather Elf who didn't like to dance.
