Chapter 27

Old Friends

At the South shore
Young Seven who was only 9 years old when Orla and Nitis left to find a new place to live and now he was 28 and he had a mate her name was Ulla. With shoulder length black hair. Seven and Ulla were both trainee, doctors Seven told Ulla about a plan and was making plans to go after Orla and Nitis. He had planed to do this for many Isola years, since he was 14, but the elders always advise him against this. Now he was 28 and was ready. His mate had been willing to go with him, Ulla was 22 years old and she was only 6 when they left. Tuna was in her seventies now and was sorry that Seven had made his mind up to leave the South shore in searched of Orla and Nitis. They found the piece of map that Nitis and Orla had drawn and left in case any one wanted to find where they where going. Seven along with Ulla find the path that Nitis and Orla had used 23 years ago.

Back at the west shore
The villagers were busy working trying to scrap away the moss which had been cleared by 87%, when one of the children came running up to them which was little Itchi saying, two strange people of fallen down the waterfall. Nitis and Orla came running over and recognised little Seven and Ulla all grown up they were the children of Tuna and Seven and Ulla was the daughter of Ghali and Ashby. She asked them how their parents were and was sad to find out they had died of old age.

happy villagers when they see who they were
The villagers stopped work to celebrate this event and had a feast. Later Ulla and Seven was amazed of what they had done to the village and was also admired the gong encasement. Orla told them what had been happening and how they had found the missing pieces of the gong. Seven and Ulla said they were doctors and Orla was please and that since they have been so busy that they had not got fully trained healers. The only healer in the village was Wabu who was a trainee doctor. Ulla did not like running and Orla remembers when little Ulla was 2 years old she would walk everywhere rather than run. Seven always disliked bananas and still did. The guiding hand was pleased with this event and with them been doctors, when anyone was sick could get them healed quickly. The scraping away the moss was slightly delayed after the newcomers had arrived, went back to work after giving them a tour of the island and the huts they could used as sleeping quarters. They both thought was very nice and when they found the villagers had a cooking pot to cook stews was equally pleased and told them that Tobi mostly did the cooking and Seven and Ulla said they could do some stews as they could choose the healthy herbs, but also said as they were only trainee doctors, might have to experiment which herbs were best.

Seven decided to make a stew and after it was cooked the villagers found that the stew could clear the nose and throat. Which was good for healing villagers, Seven knew his herbs. As he was now Adept doctor, he was almost trained when he arrived but needed to know what herbs did what and after a quick study of each herb was satisfied what herb was good for in each remedy, As Ulla was much slower and did not walk very fast was still going round studying the herbs. She had less skill than Seven, but was still a great help to the village been a doctor. In the meantime Seven went on to enjoying the pond. The guiding hand decided to let Ulla keep on studying the herbs until she had become Adept Doctor then if she wanted to have a child, with Seven later. If she got stuck passing the dam, the guiding hand would unstuck her and put her to the herb, but at the moment she had not. Seven did not when he was studying them at the time.

The builder had scraped away 90% from the ancient place and was beginning to see some of the patterns beginning to show. It was looking more and more like an ancient mosaic and it would not be long before the whole of the pattern would show.
