Chapter 5 THE RE-BUILDING
A very long time ago there were those who remembered what the other realm was like and have written documents describing their experiences. These documents have been stored away in a safe place where no one would ever think to look, for these documents have the very secret that is needed to defeat the evil. That secret is kept among those who are sacred. They wait for the one who is destined to rise and defeat the presence that plagues the lands. Those who have the secret, must be kept in a safe zone, in a sacred and safe place where evil is banned and peace dwells. The secret is to be untouched, until the time has come for the one who is destined to free the lands of the dark presence is born. The darkness knows of this secret and has been searching for it for a very long time. It is believed that there will come a time, when the secret will be in the hands of the one who is destined to destroy Xiuhcoatl, who has his own secret too. And it lies in the heart of one who flies with the spirit of Alishka. . * The large coffin was intact with no damage. It was amazing and Sera was relieved. She placed her hands on the coffin and closed her eyes. She saw in her mind Alishka smiling at her and Alishka spoke. “My dear Seraphina, my daughter. I am so proud of you and of Phoebe. Look to the heart of the one who fly’s with my spirit and you will find the secret to rid the Darkness from the lands.” Sera bowed her head and asked, “Mother Aliska, why is it that you cannot just tell me the secret so that we can defeat this plague? Why must it be a mystery?” “My dear Seraphina, the secret lives within you, and it lives within the heart of the spirit who fly’s with me. You have the power, you have the ability. Only you can discover it within yourself and then you will know what must be done.” Then she was gone. Sera thought about Alishka’s words and decided she would have to spend a great deal of time alone seeking to find the answer. But for now, there was work to be done. She and her people had to come together to re-build the empire. She had to find Aleck so they could make plans together. She headed for Lunindar where Aleck spent most of his time. * “Sera, I was just thinking of you!” Sera looked up into Aleck’s beautiful eyes and smiled…she had the most strange feeling, looking at him, she did not know what it was about him that had her so ….mesmerized. She quickly shook her feelings away and got down to business. “I know, I felt it. I came to ask you if you have any ideas on what to do about the reconstruction of the empires.” I was just thinking about getting my people together to gather the parts of the structures that we can use to rebuild. There is so much to do. I am over whelmed.” I know Sera, and I have good news! I have had a proposition from the people of Lunindar. Come, I have something to show you.” Sera followed Aleck outside and across the garden. “Look out across the lands an up on that mountain. How would you like for the castle to reside there? We could rebuild here, have the Cathedral, a garden with a drum circle, a sky dance…all these wonderful things. It is so the people of Lunindar can keep the kingdom. There has been a hardship fall upon my friends of the kingdom here and they need our support, and we need theirs. It is a win win situation for all of us! What do you think Sera?” Sera heard the excitement in Aleck’s voice and saw the twinkle in his eye. Indeed it was a win win situation and the land here looked so very beautiful. Much more so than where they were before. “Oh, Aleck…I don’t know…I am not sure I will like it here….” Aleck’s face relaxed and he had a somber look on his face. “Oh..geez..I cannot joke like this with you my dear friend ..Yes! Aleck! Oh my but this place…it is so beautiful! I would love to rebuild here! I don’t even have to think about it. When can we start?” Aleck smiled at Sera and said, “ Now my dear friend, we start now!” * So the plan was in the works and all the peoples formed together and it was not long when the Cathedral and the Castle was up and they looked grand. Aleck worked in the garden and created the sky dance. Later he put the Cathedral up in the sky for the Dragons, and built an additional castle for his home and workshop. There was a cave under Sera’s castle for her when she was in Dragon form and for Phoebe. Out to the left of the castle was a graveyard and under it was a hidden ‘walk in’ crypt for ‘Alishka and LeLmur’. Sera spent a lot of time putting the castle back in order and creating signs for the entrances. She also created paintings to hang for sale in Aleck’s castle and in the Cathedral. Everything was even better than before and the people were very happy here. At the time all this was going on, Xiuhcoatl was plotting his next move. This work is the copyright of the author.
