THE CHOSEN ONES ( PART SIXTY SEVEN )

It was late afternoon when Jonah and Gerth were
returned, they were both sleeping like babies.

Addie approached a couple of Jonah's men. "Have
you a place Jonah and Gerth can sleep, out of the
elements?"

One of the men whose name was Aden, approached Addie. "We only have what you see." The ground would be no place for Jonah and Gerth to recouperate, so Addie walked around the camp, he
asked if anyone had a Wagon that the two men could
sleep in, till they awoke.

One couple, whose names were Luke and Mirea, said
the two men could sleep in their Wagon. "I thank
you so much," said Addie. "I promise there is no
danger with these men, when they awake...but they
will need some hot food, perhaps you Mirea could
boil up some meat to make a broth."

Despite all that Jonah and Gerth had done, the couple were happy to help.

Addie's men took the two sleeping men to the Wagon,
they covered them with bear skins. Luke then turned
to Addie, "how long will they be asleep for?"

"It's hard to tell my friend, but I think they will
sleep for the rest of today."

It was late in the day, people started to build fires, nobody wanted to leave, for fear of missing
anything, so they set up camp, where they were.

Many bad men were taken to the Ship and people
cheered, then they were brought back to sleep the
rest of the day and night.

People were starting to realise, that these humans
from the skies, never meant any harm, so they started to relax.

Into the evening people started to sing and dance,
there were many fires. Drums made from wood and
animal skins could be heard beating out a rhythm,
some people had wooden whistles, some just used
their voice. The merriment went on, long into the
night.
