Chapter 24

The Tasks

The following day after getting up and want to the hall to eat breakfast, which some had honey on some fruit and some had coconuts with honey. As like the dinner the day before had plenty to choose from and they had fruit juice that the chefs had made.

After breakfast Kamali and Flower called them into a small room that was like an office of a place to do researching in. Some of the stuff littered round the room was things the tribe had never seen or recognised, however they could guess what they where used for and most of it was from scientific research. Kamali and Flower explained what was forewarning dander to their island. The ocean was and each season the part of the island gets covered in sea water as the ocean is claiming the land back. And Kamali said that in another hundred year’s time the island will be sunk at the bottom of the ocean. That they had to find a way to stop this from happening would need to build a protection field and to stop the island from sinking.

As Kai was a scientist was given a task to find a way to protect the island and they needed to build a protective wall against the strong tides this was going to be a tough task but as she was a master in everything and, with the help of Tuna would soon research the right materials that was needed. Kilu could not start work yet on building a dam that would hold the seas back, so helped on researching. Some of the fairies also did researching and there were master scientist amongst the fairies. Kai was surprised that she did not think fairies did work like humans. Flower explained, ‘We fairies have always worked and we don’t always use magic, after all have you always wondered why gardens are always beautiful, yes I admit some flowers are help by magic, but we have our fairy gardeners that tend to the flowers by planting the seeds and feeding them plant food and watering them. If one uses magic to make the plants grow all the time, would make the plants lazy and keep relying on magic.’ ‘I did not know that.’ Kai said.
Kilu said, ‘Yes I bet there are a lot of things you don’t know.’
Kai said, yea your right, but then if you knew everything, then learning would not be fun any more.’


In the meantime the children was given the task of looking out for 3 stars a rare star that was made of gold was needed to use as magic to use on the materials to give it the power stopping the sea from claiming the island. However the gold star would not work until the other 2 stars which were silver and bronze stars. The bronze star was easy to find as it was more common and the Silver Star was the uncommon. The children found many bronze stars that they took to the research hut and the scientists put them to buying materials. Therefore adding a 100 tech points. Kai when she looked what she needed to get construction was at least 8000pts to buy. Then little Paima found the uncommon silver star and that went with the bronze. Paima was keen to find this very rare gold star and searched every nuke and cranny on the island. It failed to turn up and Paima was disappointed at not finding it.

Bobo and Kon were given the task to clear parts of the island where the wall would be. The materials use to build the wall would be covered in magic star dust, once the gold star is found or discovered. This star would have to be found as soon as possible.
Paima after looking for the gold star along with her friends Bobo and the boy fairy called sprite, who hated was called a fairy. After searching for it long and hard was disappointed by the end of the day of not finding it. They told flower that they had failed in their task at finding the gold star. ‘We are sorry we did not find the gold star, and it is dark now.’
Flower said. You have not failed me you have done well at finding the first two which are equally important. She explained why that it could not be found, It only appears in a certain places and only appears as a golden sunbeam shines on any part of the island and as it been no clouds in the sky for the golden sunbeams to happen may make it appear.’
Paima said you mean it got to be a cloudy day before it appears.’
‘Yes and we don’t get many cloudy days and that’s why it is very rare gold star.’ Flower said.
‘It might be cloudy to morrow.’ Bobo said.
‘Mommy use to rain dance and made the clouds appear I could ask mommy to rain dance,’ Explained Paima.
‘She could, will that is a magical dance if it is done properly and you would need a chief to make it work. Flower said.
Kilu had just joined them after working hard at researching and heard what they been talking about and told them about the TC where he use to live at the north shore and he would lead to do a weather dance with three farmers following his lead.
What we need is not the rain but something like to make the clouds to appear, but at the moment there was still time as they had one Isola year before the tasks to be completed. And so the team had a lot to do in a so short a time and they believed they would do it as they had already had half the tech points to buy the construction materials. But will the clouds appear in time to make the gold sunbeams for the gold star to appear.
