*Correction: Pearl was joined to Elf-Vanua, not Fleece. This was a mixup of names from another story. Sorry for the confusion. I have also included the tale of the Spirits*

Mocha’s daughter, Honey was just two years old when her great-grandmother, Paka, the Master Builder, polished off the rough white stone into a smooth white pearl. After it was clean, washed and polished, Paka was given the honour as the eldest villager, switched the Black Pearl from the Great Claw with the White Pearl and then slowly walked up the Ramp, to place the third and final stone into the Grand Door.
This Door had barred the villagers from the Cave and once the here Gems were in place, they were really keys that opened the Grand Door, revealing A Great, Grand Hall of Wonder. One could not help but wonder what had been used for. On the Center Wall was a Portrait of an ancient Royal couple.
Chief Strong noticed a large Sundial. He turned it and slowly as if in a dream, the ancient figures stood before He turned it and slowly as if in a dream, the ancient figures stood before the whole tribe and told the their story and how our people came to these shores over a thousand years ago. It was a sad tale, of how this once beautiful island was destroyed through the imbalance of Nature and Majic. The spirits hope and wish that we, their will one day bring back that balance. If not us, then our children or grandchildren.
Chief made sure that we, his children knew our history and our part in the continuing life and restoration of our beloved island.
Mocha turned out to be the eldest of Chief Strong and Lady Tiji. They went on to have three more daughters and then four sons. Three of the boys looked like our Father Elf, but still none daughters born to any of the tribe who looked our Mother Taji.
The City had reached its limit as to hold many she could hold, so Mocha and Obi had only one child, Princess Honey. The second daughter, named after Tiji's mother, Paka, joined with Obi's younger brother Elf and they had one son, Cobra.
Chief Strong was the one who first named his granddaughter Princess, and the name struck.
Chief Strong loved his two grandchildren and was very proud of them.
When several elderly villagers died, more grandchildren were born and Chief Strong lived to see even great-grandchildren.

It was Lady Tiji who at this time was Master of the Alchemy, teaching her grandchildren the craft.
How I would have loved to have been there when Lady found the potion that transports one from one part of the City to another: 2 part TigerLily-one part Golden Berry.
Or Who Turned Off the Lights: one part Golden Berry-Black Ochard-Cactus.
Lady Tiji also found the potion that made adults look for mushrooms: two part TilyLily-one part rose petals.
And according to her notes, Lady Tiji was the one that the tradition of when one turns four-teen years old, every teenager would recieved, after their first bath in the Aroma Therapy Bath the Exercise potion.
I need to reintroduce that tradition

All but one of the City's sercet's had been revealed: how to find a way to join a Prince and Princess of each Fraction and restore the balance of the island. Until then, there was really nothing left but enjoy the Beauty of the City and our peaceful lives.
Mocha and Obi had two children, Princess Honey and then several years later a son.
Princess Honey grew into a beautiful young woman. Quiet, she didn't care for crowds, dancing or parties.
Yet it was the fun loving Ian, who loved parties, dancing and crowds that won the Honey's heart.
Honey and Ian had many children.
The first, Ian named after her Mama, Honey.
Then was born the tribe's first set of triples: Aslan, Asa, and Ash. Then a girl Crystal, another set of triples Ianna, Alaina and Zania, little Deana and then Vanua.
