Chapter 17

Nitis carried on working on the dam and Balun still worked on researching for a while. Then he decided to help Nitis on the dam and he told him more stories about where he came from and how, it got over crowded and most of the females were not allowed to have any more children and this was the main reason why the left the south shore. As they had completed 72% on the dam and had a few more tech points to buy medicine went back on to researching. The children continued to find the collectibles for the scientists.

Little Top who was now 7 years old was feeling a bit down and went to the place to be alone. He was missing his parents and he was longing to see his mom again, but he knew she was not coming back. Then a little girl joined him, and he noticed that she was really pretty, she had long dark brown hair and blue eyes and she wore a band round her hair. She was Orla's daughter and only just had her second birthday and now she had to fend for herself, and she too felt a bit lonely as her mom went on to having another baby. Top asked her name and she said, 'My name is Laurence,'
'That's a nice name.'
'My mom said it is French.'
Then Top said, 'How would you like to play tag,' and he tagged her and said, 'your It.'
Laurence run after him saying 'I'm going to get you. Then he called out to Noa and Wabu, saying run 'Laurence is It,' All the children all ran as fast as they could around the shore and Laurence only been small had to force legs to catch up and try to tag one of them,' Then Laurence thought of a ploy to catch one of them and as Wabu had not noticed Laurence creep up on him and before he knew it, Laurence tag him and she called out, 'Wabu your IT,' Then she laughed and giggled as he said, 'Oh no, right I'm going to get you,'
Laurence said, 'Oh, no you won't.' And ran away as fast as she could from him.
After awhile the kids got tired of playing tag and went on to playing their on little games and exploring the island. Laurence was curious about the strange flowers and was interested in the construction of the dam and liked watching the scientist work and she thought that when she grew up she might be a scientist. Laurence liked finding the items for the scientist. As Laurence was playing in the very narrow stream getting her feet wet and her dress. Failed to see the rare butterfly, as Wabu who was now 7 got to it first completing the butterfly collection. The scientist were very please with the children for finding all the butterflies and give them all a treat. Now Balun told the children that they can build more huts and be able to have 5 extra people to live in the village.

The scientists after so many moons had made enough tech points to buy the second level of medicine and now improved the villager's life span as they would be healthy for a longer time now. However, they still needed to explore more to a higher level in medicine if they wanted to live beyond their 60 years. At the moment, they were still young and Orla was now 26 years old and Nitis was now 23 Balun was now 17 and would soon be 18, old enough to be a parent and to tell children stories. As Orla was still a Trainee Parent and not got the statues to teach the children, would have to be more involved in parenting. Orla was not far off from becoming Adept, but at the moment Orla was now nursing a baby, and could do nothing else until the baby was age two. This raised the population to 9.

Nitis after an evening with Orla, went back to try and complete the dam, he had been working on it every day for several moons and so far it was 75% completed and as there was food available to villagers was 1919, that the villagers thought it best to leave the coconuts and to carry on researching and the children kept finding the mushrooms that kept the food over and above that. There were still 1220 coconuts still to harvest. Laurence did not like coconuts, so all she ate was the mushrooms they found and some fish that the villagers, shared out evenly a small portion a day. Orla was worried about Laurence not liking coconuts as there was not much else to eat, but she knew the dam would soon be finished so that her daughter would get some greens.

Orla kept on asking how far off you are on the dam. He kept saying, it won't be ready for a while yet, but if I have more labor, the dam will be finished a lot sooner. Tobi promised that he will help as they had got more medicines, the following day. Tobi knew about Laurence's eating habits and tried to disguise some of the coconut peaces in with some of the mushrooms, but she would know and say, 'I'm not eating that, it's got coconut in it Yuk.'
'You can't be fooled Laurence, I can see that, but please for my sake and your mommy's sake, try and eat some of it.' Tobi said But Laurence was persistent and refused to eat the coconuts and she and she would run away every time someone tried to give her coconuts to eat. In the end the adults had to gave up, and hopefully that when the dam is finished and be able to give Laurence more variety of diet.

Chapter 18

Orla's baby was now just 2 and she named her Kissa and Laurence was now age 5.

Nitis was almost done with completing the dam. Laurence was watching her dad building it while little Noa was still playing in the very narrow stream, that did not seem to be narrow any more as she found the water getting deeper and deeper.

In the meantime Nitis failed to notice that Noa was stuck and put the last peace of wood in to secure and he told Laurence to tell mom that the dam was finished and would be able to grow crops with the water flowing onto the soil. After Laurence told her mom the dam was complete and she called all the others and every one came running. The children were Singing, The dam is complete, hooray, hooray, and the adults all joined in. The dam is complete HOORAY, HOORAY, YEA, YEA, and THE DAM IS FINISHED, HOORAY, HOORAY, HOOT, and HOOT, BRAVO called out Laurence, THE DAM IS COMPLETE. Suddenly Laurence noticed that Noa was missing and wondered where she was and thought she wouldn't miss this?

Nitis said right now the celebrations are over it's time to be getting back to work now and you Top get some seed to plant and Mucha who was adept farmer planted the seeds and as soon as she planted the seeds the birds would land on the soil and start eating them, she triad chasing them off and even the children kept trying to chase them off, but the birds kept coming back. Mucha thought that, we need something to scare the birds away, any idea's children and Kissa and Laurence, said a scarecrow. Yes that is an idea a scarecrow and Mucha went to at the top of the land near the thorny bushes where there was some twisted wood growing and she made some arms and got a large turnip for the head and put some black peddles for the eyes and month. She found some old rags to put round the sticks that stuck outwards. And after it was finished, the children thought that it looked like a really scary scarecrow. That would keep away those pesky birds. The children once again, started celebrating saying, HOORAY, HOORAY WE SCARE AWAY THOSE PESKY BIRDS, HOOT, HOOT. The adults came running over wondering what all the excitement was about and saw the ugly looking and scary scarecrow, and they to cheered. As they were celebrating they failed to notice that Noa was not with them. Nitis started to repair the hut on the beach.

Noa found the only way she could not get out of the flowing water and she tried calling for help and wondered why no one had seen her. Then she noticed Laurence and she called out but the wind kept blowing her voice in another direction. Then she saw Kissa running to look at the ancient place and she called out, Kissa and the wind just by luck was blowing in the right place.

In the meantime Kissa wanted to explore the ancient place and as she was running she thought she heard someone calling her name and she looked round her, but saw no one there and she carried on exploring the ancient place and then she head her name been called again and it sounded like Noa's voice and she called out, 'Is that you Noa I can't see you?' She heard Noa's voice again, shouting help me, Help,' Kissa realised that Noa was in trouble and she called out, 'WHERE ARE YOU?'
She heard, 'I'm over here on this strip of land,' Kissa looked over and saw Noa just hanging on, 'EER, HOW DID YOU GET THERE ?' DON'T MOVE I GET THE GROWNUPS, and she ran to get Nitis telling him that Noa was tripped and he came running, and he got the other males to rescue Noa, The males told Noa to hold on and that they were coming to rescue her and the way they did this was, the strongest one waded through the creek and put her on his shoulders. When they reached dry land, they heard a great cheer go up and he noticed that all the villagers had gathered together to see the heroic rescue of little Noa After Noa's ordeal a few days later she was back to her normal self.

Mucha decided it is time to have a baby

Mucha was 19 years old and decided it was time to have a baby and the guiding hand did some match making with Tobi and she had her first baby after going in the hut. Nitis was now a master builder and since they needed 3 master builders to open the very large box on the beach, so decided that Tobi would finish repairing the hut on the beach and Nitis would attempt to at researching. After several tries managed to succeed at some of the experiments. After awhile when he had been succeeding at a few simple experiments he soon had the statues as a trainee scientist. They needed to make more tech points to buy medicine, if they wanted to live beyond their 60ties. So they needed to have 65000pts and so far had made over 20000pts. So had a long way to go. Orla was now 29. And was with her 3rd baby.

The fastest runner event

Tobi as he was working on the hut on the beach found he sometimes exercise by running round the village and one day he thought he could run very fast and he wanted to organized a race to prove he was the fastest runner, the villagers knew he could run fast when he wanted to, but his fragile ego was better known and so they agreed he could run very fast. Letting him have his pride, and after this Tobi now liked running a lot more, and became the villagers runner. As Tobi was running every where and running round repairing the hut on the beach, the hut was completed in less time. It was completed just as Mucha's and Orla’s babies were 2 years old males names were Pepe Orla's son and Obi Mucha's son were able to celebrate the new honeymoon hut, the villagers decorated it with flowers and as it looked so lovely on the beach. Orla was the first to use it and give birth to another baby and a week later Mucha her second baby, The only thing Nitis was the father of Mucha's new baby. This brought the population to 13.

Tobi the runner thought it was time to build a new hut as the villagers found that only one hut was not enough room for the new arrivals of new babies and it was getting very crowded now. The builders made the foundations where it was going to be which was near the beach a few feet from the side of the first hut that was a few feet from the research hut. Soon Tobi working very fast on it was now 28% completed this took a couple of moons to get this far. Noa and Wabu were 12 Isola years old and Laurence was 7 and her sister Kissa was now 5 and the 2 little boys were now still 2 nearly 3. Orla was 32, Nitis 29, Balun 23 Mucha 22, Tobi 21 and Top 17. The scientist had made 31967pts and the food available to villagers was 2092 and still plenty of coconuts and crops to harvest.

Another thing the children had now completed the shell collection and now the population can be raised by 5 and once again the children were given a treat which made them more determined to complete the pebble collection and Obi found a rare pebble and Pepe found an uncommon one which the children needed to find just one more rare collectible to complete the collection. The children had not found any of the bugs yet, but may be when the thorns are cut, they might find some.

To be continued

Chapter nineteen

The villagers were board decided to take a break from work and they dived into the, pond. They had completed the first 60 percent of the hut. Noa was twelve years old now and liked running around and also like to play tag, now that there were a few more children, so they played it more often. Now tag was now the children's favorite game. In the end that the children had outplayed tag and was now trying to reach the coconuts.

The scientists had made over 4,000 tech points and needed over 2,500 points to fully research medicine, if the villages wanted to expand their lives. The Villages wanted to get rid of the algae in the ocean so that they could fish. However there was plenty of crops to harvest and coconuts and food was available to the villagers was over 2000 so there was no hurry. The village doctors wanted the medicine as it was the most important to keep away disease and sickness as some of the villagers always seem to get sick and weakened, especially those that worked on researching.

In the meantime the next thing the children were interested in construction of the new hut which was now 75% completed it would not be long before they can have more babies. The Builders had been working hard that they and decided to call it a night so they might complete the hut the following day. So far they have made 5,000 tech points to medicine.

The next day
The children kept looking for pebbles and the butterfly and the shells how Ever they still not found the last Pebble as they fully search for it at the ancient ruins. However the scientist said, We're very pleased With the children's progress of finding the items as it rise the tech points and soon the villages would have enough to buy medicine for as they already achieved 5,500 points to buy medicine. Get they needed to get another 1,000 tech points to upgrade medicine and also they needed to upgrade farming as well as construction. Tobi was almost a Master builder and needed another Master builder to open the box on the beach. At the moment villages had two builders In the Village.

Noa finds the rare new pebble
Noa was 13 and she was feeling lonely so she went to sit by the ancient ruins and she noticed something with yellow strips on the ground and she realized it must be a new rare pebble, so she picked it up and carefully carried this rare item to the scientists and she put it in the display cabinet. The scientists were very pleased that the children had found and completed the pebble collection and give all the children a treat. Now the villagers had 3 completed collectables and had a blue butterfly, a red star shell and a pebble on the roof of the science hut. The only one missing from the science hut was beetles, as the thorns had not been cutaway yet, it be awhile before the children would find any, anytime soon. So now the village could now have more huts.

The villagers carried on with their jobs and the scientist doing their researching, Tobi the runner worked hard building a new hut which was 97% the last time was looked.
When suddenly there was a shout by Tobi, 'Hay everybody the hut is finished.' All the villagers came running over and saw that Tobi had built a good and stable hut that would housed more people. They all celebrated this, all dancing and cheering on the beach. One hour later they all went back to work. Mucha and Orla's babies had just age 2, Orla had a son and she named him Hung and Mucha had a girl who she named Chimba.

Noa and Wabu had just had their 14th birthdays and were ready to start work. Noa decided to go to work on science as they needed to get the tech points and since Wabu had some skill in medicine decided to study medicine and this was to examine some of the herbs on the island.

In the meantime Orla went indoors with Nitis and came out with a baby and then Mucha also had a baby at the same time with Tobi and both moms showed the baby the ocean. The population had now 16.

With the help of an extra hand on researching and the children finding multiple collectables soon had the 65000 to buy medicine and now that medicine was fully researched, the next target was to get the next level in farming which needed 9,0000 tech points.

Little Pepe plays a trick to the guiding hand

Little Pepe was running around on the beach dancing and he thought he would pretend he was stuck on the hut and it seemed to have worked as he looked like he had climbed onto the hut. He did the usual dancing on the top then turned to go to trying to reach the coconuts. Then the guiding hand who saw him at the same time saw a shell on the beach and got Chimba quickly to take the item to the scientist, and when the guiding hand got back to rescue Pepe found that he had got down all by himself, which was very strange and still wondered how he was back on the beach. The guiding hand had taken a picture of him on the roof. It was later when the Guiding hand saw another adult near the hut realized that he must of help Pepe from the hut or it was illusion of him on the hut and he was not stuck at all. The guiding Hand was beginning to wonder about these villagers now were becoming more apt to getting themselves out of sticky situations without it's help hmm.

To be continued

Chapter 20

The villagers had enough to get level 2 of Exploration that would enable the children to find the collectables a lot quicker. One of the villagers saw a cauldron in the wood pile and retrieved thinking this would be good for cooking stews in. Then the villagers collected some herbs round the island and added them to the pot and added water and food. Soon the hot stew was ready and the villagers celebrated that now they could eat something warm during the cold nights. The first stew they made was a healthy stew that made them feel healthier. Then the villagers experimented with an other stew of 3 of the red flowers herbs and this give the villager's energy and wanted to exercise, which sometimes improved in construction if they were successful.

Nitis was looking at the briers and he thought that they needed something to clear them with. He had a word with Balun who was a master scientist and he looked at some special stones and he started to sharpen them and then he got some special wood and made them into grips for the villagers to hold to finish the product and then he informed the villagers that he and his fellow master scientists had made the cutting tools to cutaway the briars. The villagers were made up with the new cutting tools and some said they could also be used to spike the fish with. The villagers had a celebration with this and they were looking forward to trying them out. Before they could use the cutting tools, the villagers had to have more research in level 3 in construction. The villagers needed 75000 tech points. So far the scientist had produced 17000 tech points, which is a way to go yet.

Tobi had the knack of harvesting invisible coconuts. The guiding Hand when it looked in on the villagers would catch Tobi going to the food bin harvesting the coconuts and did not seem to be carrying one, yet as soon as Tobi dropped it in the food bin the food would go up by 2 and coconut source would drop by 2. Tobi did this trick every day and soon it was Tobi's party trick.

Tobi made some more hut stews and the first one was a healthy stew, but the next two he made were both nasty un-edible, no I stew was the 1 black string of herbs 2 blue rose and the light brown north-south part past the coconut trees, which made the healthy stew that give off glittery stars. The second un-edible stews, 1 of the black vine, 2 the red flower, 3 the blue flower. The third was 1 black vine, 2 the red flower orange flower. Tobi thought he have to try another recipe as the last two were not good. Also he knew that there must be a stew that would help them to retrieve the object at the bottom of the pond. Tobi decided to leave it for now and try experimenting at a later time.

To be continued

Chapter 21

Tobi after he experimented with a few more herbs discovered the one he wanted. The herbs that he used were 1 of the black vine and two of the blue flower that helps him holds his breath for a very long time. Tobi dived deeply into the pond and retrieved the artefact that had been lying at the bottom of the pond for a long time. The scientist examined the artefact and found that it was one quarter peace of the gong, and the villagers thought this was a case to celebrate. Now the only thing was the villagers knew there were still 3 missing peaces to be found.

The villagers went back to work after celebrating and Tobi made another stew that all the villagers would enjoy as it was a cold day. It was a healthy stew the one that give out rainbows. All the villagers all sat around eating the stew when ever they wanted to.

The children had to be encouraged to eat by the guiding hand as they mostly liked to play rather than eat. The children now and again found the items for the scientist and the scientist work hard at rising the tech points. The foods available to villagers were 3005 which was good.

Mucha baby had just turned 2 and she decided to name her Napuka. Napuka had short brown hair and like dancing. Soon Mucha want embracing again and ended up with another baby bringing the population to 18.

Construction is fully researched
The scientist found they had made enough tech points to buy more construction and now had enough materials to build a hospital and had the knowledge to cut down the briers and Tobi got to work on cutting the briers while Noa worked on building a hospital. The farmers continued to harvest the crops that made food available over 3600. Noa was now a trainee builder now and she had a way to go before she would master this skill as she was 17. The guiding hand thought that if she was going to have a baby, then would need to train a male to become a master builder to get 3 master builders to open the box on the beach. The only male who had building skills was 7 year old Obi. So Wabu who had no building skill had to be trained and so was put to cutting away the brier thorns. After he had several failed attempts after trying to cut the briers finely improved in construction. Since the villagers don’t want to raise the population too fast, the guiding hand after Mucha has finished nursing her baby would go back to researching and Orla will carry on having babies until she is a master parent and then will let Noa have a baby later on.

The next target was to research culture which needed 20,000 tech points for level 2 and then level 3. Save for first had to get level two.

To be continued

Chapter 21
Mucha did have another child who was a little boy who she named Tomal who had red hair like his mom and at the same time Orla named her son Guapi had brown hair.

Tobi becomes an Esteemed Elder

Tobi had already mastered 2 skills in building and science and almost master in farming. After watering the crops, Tobi realised he had also become a master farmer. The villagers thought he deserved the rank of an elder and made a totem and engraved his name on it. The villagers celebrated with Tobi for becoming the villagers first Esteemed Elder and congratulated him for mastering the 3 skills. Tobi was only 27 and the youngest elder to get this rank and thought he was a real prodigy and they were very proud to have this young male in their tribe and they hoped that others would follow his success in the future.

Laurence was now 13 and was looking forward to her 14th birthday and kept telling every body she would be 14 soon. She thought that as soon as she is 14 she would help to remove the thorny briers as she would watch the builders cutting them away. Laurence always made sure she kept her distance as she watched so she would not get in the way. As she was watching one of the children called out lets play tag and she ran off to join them running round the village in the tag game.

The scientists decided to hold on to the tech points until they got enough for second and third level in culture, a round 10,000pts and then they would have a choice whether to buy farming in case the food run out, or culture if they have plenty of food in the bin. The tribe knew bad events could happen that would use up the food and leaving them none. This is why the scientist kept their options open. So far the tribe had it good and when one of them mentioned this to Tobi who was the youngest elder thought this was a wise idea and kept his fingers crossed so that a bad event would not happen to steal the food or technology. He hoped that the guiding hand who had control of their lives would keep with them, so that the events would not happen too soon and the children would get the items quickly. The guiding hand promised that, he/she would keep them in pause when he or she is away, encase a bad event might happen. While they work hard at gaining them points the scientists should make enough tech points and the children find the collectables in time. The tribe so far had just one bad event when they woke one morning to a soupy fog and was shocked that some food had been stolen. Luckily enough just 200 food was gone so the tribe still had 2880 food instead of the 3080. So the villagers did not worry about it and got on with their jobs.

The builders had cleared 32% of the thorny briers and Noa had completed 18% of the hospital as this had helped her to reach the status of adept builder. The tribe now had 2 master builders and 2 adept builders.

As all this was going on Orla had another baby bringing the population to 19.

To be continued

Chapter 23

Nitis becomes an Esteemed Elder

Laurence had just turned 14 and started work on clearing the thorny briers which was already cleared 84%. And with the help of the other villagers would soon be cleared. Nitis was working on the fields when he found he had now realised he had mastered 3 skills which was builder, farmer and scientist and the villagers made him a totem in his name. They decided to cave it in the same design as Tobi’s as they knew he liked the design and always admired it as he use to go to it prising it. Now he had one of his own to admire. The villagers and Nitis’s wife Orla congratulated him and Orla gave him a special present which he was very pleased. Nitis was 37 ten years older than Tobi, but then Tobi was the villager’s runner and that is why he got his a lot younger.

The celebrations over and done with, all went back to work, Nitis working with his daughter to clear the briers and he was very proud of his daughter Laurence as she was growing up to be a beautiful young woman and one day she would turn heads of the male villagers. The scientist worked hard at getting the tech points and the children found the collectables and mushrooms.

Another piece of the gong is discovered

The guiding hand found there was now 3 master builders and asked them if they could try and open the wooden create on the beach. The builders who were Nitis, Tobi and Wabu, Wabu the last one who had just become a master builder after working hard on clearing the briers. They succeeded in finely opening the box after trying for many weeks. Tobi who was the fastest runner took the piece of the gong to the science hut and the villagers once again celebrated finding the second piece of the gong of wonder.

The gong encasement is revealed

It wasn’t long after; the villagers had another cause to celebrate when after all the briers were cleared could see another piece of the gong and saw that what was hidden was the place to put the piece and it fitted perfectly and the villagers placed the other two pieces in place and as they did so it gave off some sparkles that died away as it was not wholly complete. But this did not prevent the villagers from celebrating as they danced and jumped in the air as villagers do when they celebrate.

Culture is fully researched

The scientists found they had just over 10,000 tech points after one of the children found a rare collectable and decided to ask the guiding hand to purchase culture and agreed and bought the second level of culture, but found was 4995pts short to buy the third level as the villagers had 80,005 points and needed 85000. So the villagers got to work looking for the collectables for the children to take to the scientists. As the guiding hand scanned though the village the rest of the villagers got to work on watering the field, crops and the builders helping Noa to build the hospital which was now 50% completed as the construction shot up. Within 10 minutes soon got the last 5000pts and was able to buy level 3 of culture. The villagers got to work on cutting away the vines and scraping away the moss on the ancient place, but this did not stop them from building the hospital, as after the guiding hand noticed was now 79% complete. The villagers had much to do.

Orla name her baby after she was two Bindi and soon she and Nitis had another baby bringing the population to 20.

After the second level of culture was researched, the villagers had enough materials to build a clothing hut. However since the clothing hut was not as important as the hospital decided to put to one side to later. After all at the moment needed room to exercise. The villagers needed to keep fit to be builders.

The children after all the briers were cleared were finding bugs like colourful beetles of different types. The first one found was a common the second was uncommon and the third one was a rare one all one after another. It wasn’t long before they had in the collection the 4 common and three uncommon and the one rare bug.

So far the builders had now completed 83% of the hospital and 4% of the vines. With all the hard work the villagers had done Tobi decided to make the villagers an energy stew to give them more energy which was 3 parts of the red flower herbs and soon most of the villagers were invited to partake in enjoying the stew that Tobi had made. All the villagers that ate the stew ran round the village exercising or went for a fast swim exercise. Some of the children who also ate the stew also exercise and one or two of the children decided to go paddling in the waves running though them until the exercise stew wore off and went off to play.

To be continued

Chapter 24

The builders completed the hospital

The builders were working hard on the hospital that was now 98 percent and so the others who were working on farming came to help and soon put the last finishing touches to the hospital and put in a bed and other things for a patents comfort, when they were sick. Then the builders gave out the news that the hospital was ready to open and Nitis cut the cord and announce this hospital open. All the villagers celebrated the new hospital and with the new medicines would mean that the villagers would be sick less often.

The children found nearly all the bug collectables bar one. It was the one missing a very rare one that would complete the collection in the bottom right corner. They knew which one it was, but it failed to show up.

Orla had a little girl who she named Puya and she had short dark brown hair. The children as the usual inaction, to welcome the new arrival in the children’s tribal low, like it was with Laurence, the first born into the tribe, Puya had to be ‘It’ in the tag game. This happened with all new arrivals in the this village, if they wanted to be part of the under 14s children’s tribe. This was an idea that Tobi had initiated when he was a child and the children had kept this going now for many Isola years in each generation. Like her older sister, she too had to run as fast as she could to catch up with her older siblings. Like others who went though the same test, proved herself to be worthy of the under 14s children’s tribe, that she could be strong and fast. The children then welcomed her into their tribe.

The adults were always working and two of them worked on farming and two on researching and the rest on cutting away the vines and scraping away the moss on the ancient ruins. Nitis thought it was a good idea to use water to make it easier to move the moss. The other builders were giving him funny looks, but Nitis just ignored them and kept on with his idea. ‘He just said to them, I don’t know why you’re making it hard on your selves, it’s much easier with water.’ Laurence had to agree with him been her dad and realised he was right as she noticed that he had scraped off quite a bit of moss, as he had removed about 8%. That brought that 30% had been scraped away. After he done a good job of removing the moss. Then decides to water the crops with the same water. The builders had removed 78% of the vines.

Later Orla wanted another baby and Nitis and Orla went indoors and once again the stork brought a baby bringing the population to 21.

Before the crops still away to go before they were ready the guiding hand guided two of the farmers to fish as the ocean was still good and Nitis with his spire saw a crab and caught it with his spire. The other farmers also found crabs in the ocean. After they caught a number of fish saw it was now harvest time. The crops were ready to harvest and there were now 30 coconuts to harvest, so the farmers set to work to harvest the coconuts first before harvesting the crops. Sometime the farmers would climb the same tree as sometime more grew on one tree than the other. It was like they would climb over each other looking from a distance. But if you were living in the village it self, would see that there was plenty of room for three or four to share the same tree looking a lot closer.

The mushrooms seem to grow a lot more during the harvest season as the children kept finding them

To be cotinued

Chapter 25

Kissa had just reached he 14th birthday and since she already had a skill in science took up researching. In 2 Isola years later Pepe had his 14th birthday and was not sure if he wanted to be a builder like his father, so he decided to have ago at fishing and he managed to catch a fish first time. However he failed to catch one when he went fishing again and decided to work on removing the moss. Obi also was 14 and had no hesitation what he wanted to do and went onto scraping away the moss and fixing the huts that had been damaged in the weather.

The vines are cleared

The builders were had almost cut away the vines and was working on the most difficult part of the task. They could see quite a bit of writing on the wall and worked hard at cutting away the vines that still covered part of it. Soon they could see the whole script and one of the scientists, found a translation and was able to make out of what it says it was about the gong that had been hidden in 4 separate places and that it should never be uncovered. Then they noticed that some writing had been added recently and that Tufo had left someone to look after the children, but had gone missing leaving the children home alone. The villagers were please they had found this discovery and knew why the gong had been hidden. Now it was they who were finding the missing 4 parts and would soon have it put together in it rightful place. Some of the villagers thought that since it was so dangerous, how is it that they had found the parts so easy. Who ever hid the parts did not recon on cleaver little villagers with the help of the guiding hand to solve the puzzle of the missing gong pieces. There was only one more piece to find and then the gong would be whole again.

Since the ocean was still clear the farmers did some fishing and Buru found a crab after his use a long knife to hunt it. Tobi also found a crab. Soon the food was available to the villagers 2670.

Algae pollutes the ocean

The villagers just managed to get enough fish before they noticed that the ocean was getting polluted with algae the ocean and the farmers could not fish any more. One of the master farmers who had the knowledge about such things said, ‘The only thing that can get rid of the algae is the algae eating fish. However, we are not sure how to find the fish as we don’t have enough knowledge where they are.’
Tobi said, We need to locate these fish as soon as possible if we don’t want it to get any worst and we know the crops are not enough to last though the season until the are ready to harvest.’:8
Then Orla said until we have more knowledge on these fish where they are, we just have to keep the population as it is as with 21 to feed, it should eke out to the next season.
After the meeting the villagers that worked on farming who also had science as their skills want on researching to try and research more on farming and one or two of the farmers kept on watering the fields. The rest who were builders scraped away the moss on the ancient ruins Laurence who by now was a master builder at the age of 18 was disappointed at her mother about not having any more children in the village as she longed for a child. She had to respect her mother's wishes as she was the oldest in the village which means she was an elder. until the algae fish is found. Also knew her mother was right and she wanted to make sure that any children she had had a secure upbringing with plenty of food to go round, even though there was plenty of food at the moment had to think of the future. Laurence also knew it was up to the guiding hand whether she was allowed to have a baby and maybe when the problem of clearing the algae is solved, the guiding hand will let her have a baby. So Laurence went back to clearing the moss. So far the builders had scraped away 51%.

The children missed Obi and Pepe as they were good fun to have; now they have become like the adults so boring and not wanting to play any more. In the end even though no more children would be joining them for awhile until Orla’s baby was age 2 there were 8 of them now all brothers and sisters apart from Napuka who was Mucha’s daughter age 10 she liked dancing. Bass was the same age as Mucha. With two down still able to play the tag game, but not much fun without Pepe and Obi and so did not play it as often.

Chapter 26

Orla’s new baby girl was the image of her mom and when she had her 2sd birthday decided to name her Itchi and she soon became poperler with the other children. Itchi had a lot of personality and was just like her mother when she was little. She was curious about everything around the island, so curious that she always got caught out and ended up been ‘It’ in the tag game. This was she never always concentrated who was ‘It’ or that never saw he/she that was ‘It’ sneaking up behind her to tag her and once again was ‘It’ She thought to herself, I always get caught out

The scientists all working hard at earning the tech points and the builders still working hard at clearing which was now 73% cleared and tech points needed was another 10000 then was 9000 and progressing. The guiding hand wondered what will come first the gong or the clearing of the ocean. It was neck to neck. Both teams were working hard, the builders and the scientists. However with the items the children were finding, the guiding hand now had the idea what will be solved first and that would be the algae eating-fish would soon be fully researched which now the scientist had now 88888pts and with 2 more items would make it more than enough to buy level 3 of advance farming.

The algae-eating fish is located by the master farmers.
The children found 2 items one common and one rare and that gives the scientist 91232 and was able to get advance technology in farming. The guiding hand pointed one of the farmers which was Balun if the algae was in the lagoon and Balun could locate the algae-eating fish and hunted for it and making sure that the fish was kept alive and would not wiggle away as fish do, carefully calmed it as to hypnotise it by stroking it’s head to calm it and then was able to carry it to the ocean and he put it down into the water and the algae-eating fish swim off and began to eat the algae, but did not think one was enough. The other master farmers also located the algae-eating fish and which were 3 more of them, did the same as Balun taking care to calm the fish as they took them to the ocean. Each farmer had their own method of calming the fish. After catching at least 11 of the algae, soon the fish had eaten and cleared all the algae and from now on these fish would continue to keep the ocean crystal clear. This was a time to celebrate and all the villagers came to the beach to celebrate and even Orla dived into the ocean celebrating. The children celebrating for a short time, then went off to play tag and little Itchi was ‘It’ again as she forgot it was tag time and was caught out again. Itchi thought Oh no, not again. Then Itchi was again in the next game as she did not tag any one in the last, so she was still ‘It’. Itchi was now more determined not to be ‘It’ again the next time it was tag and was going to try and concentrate more on the game in future.

Laurence, Noa, Mucha and Orla have babies.
Laurence was 19 when the ocean was cleared and thought it was time to have a baby and she ask the guiding hand for a suitor and thought that Wabu would be good and she liked Wabu and want indoors as villagers do.

Then Noa who was 25 also had a baby and since the guiding hand had no control of who she was going to mate did not see until it was too late and, it was Nitis she choose and the same again with Mucha who also had a baby. Nitis was the oldest male and all the females tend to go indoors with the oldest male, this is where the guiding hand comes in to try and set some rules for the villagers. This is so that all villagers don’t look the same, unless the guiding hand does not mind all villagers looking alike that is.

Laurence could not wait to show her mother her new baby and Orla was very pleased to see her beautiful grandchild and though the baby was lovely. They both walked together mother and daughter to the beach and stood together, talking and showing their babies the ocean. Later Mucha and Noa joined them on the beach showing the baby the ocean.

More to be done the only things now the villagers needed was to start work on the clothing hut, However as there was not enough research material to work with, needed the tech points towards that and also the builders were still working on scraping away the moss. They already removed 79% of the moss and decided to leave the clothing hut to last and as the population had now reach 25. The next established target the guiding hand had wanted. The villagers did not need another hut until the population reach about 35 and so the builders had not made plans yet. The villagers knew more children would be born in the future and already 4 more babies had been born and the villagers loved to have children to bring up, if they wanted the population to grow and prosper. The tribe will let you know what the ancient place reveals and if and when the find the last part of the gong.
