B-PLAYMATE

The two girls arrive at a double arch way. It looked very like
normal arches but from the entrance was a mist like substance
shimmering and you could not see through to the otheside. "Wow",said
the two girls at the same time, so this is a teleport bride".
"Can we go and see what your planet is like", asked Lilian. "No its
much danger",repliedTurak. Drazal walked under the arch as he stood
there he began to shimmer too gradually fading until he was no
more.
"He is gone back now " Turak looked sad for a moment, but then Rosanna
came and took his hand smiling and he smiled back."what lovely hands,
they feel like your skin is made of velvet,just like a deer, she said
in suprise."Look Lilian his hands are like velvet".
Lilian came felt his hands and then his face, his face feels the same
as his hands", she said."Come and play with us" said Rosanna and pulled
him towards the caves.
The two girls continued to go and see turak, he was their secret
friend,whom they played with and taught him many games.They often read
stories and shared their food with him. One day when the girls went to
find Turak he was no where to be seen. After searching high and low for
a while, Rosanna suddenly gave a small cry,her face went completely
white, "Lily he is drowning" she whispered and running along the bank,
she headed for the cliff where the old castle was. Diving into the lake
she swam toward the water fall. Lilian got there just as Rosanna
dragged him out. "Help me to turn him on his stomach", she called to
her. Together they pulled him right out of the water and on to dry
land. Without any effort they turned him over and saved his life.
"How on earth did you know" Lilian asked. Rosanna shook her head"
I just know about him" she said simply.

Turak was closer to Rosanna, as she spent a lot more time with him.
She taught him to swim and dive. When Lilian who had reached the age of
11,left the Island to go to a private Academy School for girls in
London , Rosanna and Turak were left along together.
He was now Rosanna's speacil secret.
Every day when she had finished her lesson's, and was dismissed by her
Governess , Rosanna would go running down to the tram port (bus stop)
using her Island pass got a free ride on the tram to the far end of the
Island, the private section. she made her way to the old castle on the
top of the hill and down to the black rock caves and behind the
waterfall where Turak would be waiting.
He had grown much bigger than when they first met.
Rosanna liked to curl up on his lap and read her favorite stories to
him.
Another game they both liked to play was hide and seek, she would run
and hide, but he always seemed to find her so then the game would turn
into tag.
"How do you find me so quickly" she once asked him feeling
puzzled?
I can sense your heart beat, feel the rhythme,with all the other
creature's here with beating heart's l know yours well. Rosanna
furnished the inner cave like a play room, to eat and sleep in, she
then little by little brought things for it. Books, food,games,
clothers and even a small T V. Very soon it was quite full. One late
night they sat by the entrance of the cave, behind the waterfall, they
sat looking up at the stars. "God is looking down on us Turak", she
told him." We will always be together--l guess, it seems so natural.
Turak looked at her and smiled,repeating her words" always be
together".
She lay her head on his shoulder,---"I should think that when l am
grown up that l will marry you".
"Marry you" Turak sounded puzzled,---"What is marry you"?
"It means you go to a church and say that you love that person and will
spend the rest of your life with them"she replied thinking hard.
Turak still looking puzzled, touched her head with his hand.(She was
starting to understood that when he touched her head he could draw on
her thought's and understand things more clearly.) She knew that he
understood when he suddenly said"Bonding you mean bonding, marrige
means bonding". He looked really happy, "Yes we will be bonded, when we
grow up".
Rosanna must have fallen alseep listening to the sound of the
waterfall.
When she opened her eyes again the sun was rising and the new day
begining. She sat up and saw a cheeky young squirrel sitting on a
branch eating a large nut. it was looking directly at her as it chewed.
She suddenly realised that there was many of the little animals around
them sleeping.
Turak was laying fast asleep next to her. "Turak Turak, wake up look at
this" she shook him and pointed.
He sat up looked around at them and smiled.
The animals stirred and began to move. Rosanna reach out and stroked a
young fawn as it struggled to get to its feet.Iy walked to its mother
who licked it and then they disappeared into the forest.
Some rabbits lopped off, a few badger's got up and sniffed the air
then disappeared into the undergrowth. A fox sat looking at them and
then made off. "I think they are getting use to you" Rosanna
laughed.
They had breakfast. you must go into the cave now" she said "l will
come play with you later after my lesson's are over".They entered into
the cave through the waterfall and after a hurried breakfast Rosanna
ran to catch the tram back to the house.
It was toward the start of the summer holidays when her Governess made
the statement that was the start of the nightmare, her whole life
seemed doomed from then on."I will be leaving before the Winter
Holidays as you will be going to school on the main land, joining your
sister_what do you think of that then" she asked smiling. "No-thats not
what l want" replied Rosanna shocked, "l like it here and want to
stay". "Well you are approaching eleven years old now and l have got
another little pupil waiting for me in another place", her Governess
said gently.

The day went so slowly for Rosanna, but after a life time, or so it
seemed, time with her Governess finished and Rosanna went straight to
see Turak. As soon as she saw him she started to sob. She tried to
explain but couldn't get the words out. She took his hand, held it for
comfort as she sobbed. Turak touched her head soothingly. She felt a
calming influence and understood what he was doing. "I reached down and
felt your pain" he said "don't be frightend of change Rose, when you
return, l will waiting" "But who will be here for you" Rosanna
cried.Turak sat down and looked at the floor. Rosanna watched
him,"Turak you have something to tell me_l know it_what is it",
"Rose, l am going back to my world, l must return to my people, l wont
be here"."Going back, but when", she gasped.He turned and looked at
her"Very soon" he said sadly. "Will you come back,"she asked
fearfully."If you go who will l play with". Turak smiled sadly at her
little scared face looking up at him."Little Rosanna,let the pain of
sadness be turned into the joy of gladness" He took her and hugged her.
"Trust in what is to be, you never know just what is around the
corner". "Yes l will trust in God ", she replied.
The week before she went to the mainland in a helicopter, Turak told
her that he was leaving. He then suprised her,as she started to cry he
told her that she could come with him to the boundaries of his
world."You told me that there was danger"she said."Not now, the danger
is over, l can sense this to be so"he replied.
The journey by teleportal through the wormhole was fantastic. It was
like riding on air 90 miles an hour. Rosana gasped and clung on to
Turak who held her gently. She noticed that there were wonderful
simmering colour's inside it. Beautiful deep mauve's and pink's that as
they move on turned to fantastic simmering reds, blues and greens. In
fact it was like being in a rainbow tunnel.Suddenly it was as if they
had become stuck, not able to move back or forward."We have arrived
Rosanna" Turak had opened the portal and was helping her down."That was
fantastic" she smiled.She looked around, the sun was setting and it
seemed the cool evening was coming on.
No it couldn't be she looked again and sure enough.....two
sun's."Turak", she begun....."Yes l know Rio and Ruka, the twin sun's,
Turak answered reading her thoughts.I will take you to a place in the
Silvercrest mountains and tell you the story. She saw the mountains a
little distance away. there was a silvery grey mist that seemed to
float around there. It was a very beautiful place, the color's were
deep and bright, like a rich aura that lay around. "Turak your world is
very beautiful, but l notice that there are no tree's only rich green
shrub's,mountains and canyon's."Both world are equally beautiful in
different ways" he told Rosanna. They reached the base of the mountain
and started to climb.

The climb up into the mountain's seemed very short and easy. Soon they
reached a wide ledge half way up. There was a small cave which Turak
pointed to and led her inside."This is where to take rest, until you
return to your world", he said.As she entered in the whole place just
looked like an empty cave with horrid cold walls and floor.Turak came
after her and pressed a lever down and everywhere seemed to turn inside
out. Rosanna blinked, the whole place was now furnished and
comfortable.

"Drink this nourishment it will refresh you". He handed her a goblet of
liquid that he took from the shelf that slide out from the wall.As she
took it, he had one for himself."Oh Turak it taste like cold mushroom
soup",she said licking her lips, she liked mushrooms very much. They
sat down together and Turak began the tale of the two sun's.
*************

Once in a far of land was a sad Princess, named Ruka. She was very sad
as she was of age because she wanted to find her Prince.
Her guardians (the King and Queen) made a declaration that who ever was
to be bonded to her, was to pass a test of Love, loyality and
courage.
The test was of three
(1st) was to fight and slay the dragon of the Mountian. And bring back
it's head. (2nd) was to bring back the pearl of great price.(3rd) was
to go to the Chamber of Soul's, which is an mythical island within a
mountian and to step into the flames of Akana, and if he manged to
return alive then the bonding would take place.Well not any of the
young Nobles could pass this test, in fact some even died in the
process.
The King was about to close the challenge, when a young stranger
stepped forward. No one knew anything about this Traveller, but some
thought that he was a very rich Prince in disguise.
He took up the challange Came back with the head of the dragon, the
perl of great price and had meet Akana the servant of the flame, who
had granted him the life of the flame and he returned,ALIVE.The
Princess thought that he was the most hansome and straight away fell in
love with him.
When the time can for him to reveal his identity, it was found that he
was Rio, from the dusty wastes of nomada, not even with
breeding.Horrified the King bannished him from the Kingdom, and gave
him not the Princess in bondship. The Princess ran after him, but found
him not.She was so grieved that she flung herself into the sea and
drowned.

Meanwhile Rio was walking along the sands of a lonely distant shore,
when the waves threw up on to the edge the body of a dead woman. Rio
went to see who it was and when he saw that it was Ruka he fell down
dead of a broken heart.
Akana the servant of the flame, who had granated life to him, was grive
at the tragic avent, carried the two dead lovers below and put them in
the fire where they were turned to dust and formed again into two
burning suns and she threw them into the sky to live safely side by
side and honour their love until this very day. Turak saw that Rosanna
was sleeply. "Rest now Rose, tomorrow you will meet my people".
The following morning Rosanna was woken to see Drazal standing looking
down at them."Grettings Remenince", he bowed slightly and smiled. We
sensed that you had made your way back. Rosanna was puzzled and
whispered down to Turak, "Why did he call you that when your name is
Turak"?."It is an offical greeting", Turak replied.
Suddenly a young elf like girl appeared and bekond to Rosanna."Go with
this serva maid,she will help you to get ready, you will meet my
people."What is you name" asked Rosanna as they girl led her to a small
chamber lit with Blue lights. The girl answered shyly "Idda". Idda was
very helpful in showing Rosanna what to do.Rosanna had her first Solar
Shower. She was escourted into a room light with Crystal blue light's
and undressed laying her clother's over a rail. She sat down and was
gentley bathed in bluecrystal ray that made her skin tingle.------the
weirest thing was that saw that she had become clean again and that
when she picked up her clothers they were also clean.
Also find that she could walk straight out and dress again, not needing
to towel herself dry because the rays were dry."You better put on some
oil now as the rays tend to dry the skin too much", advise Idda.Rosanna
felt so wonderful, now she was ready to meet the people of this
world---Turak's people.
Before they went into the feast Turak led her into a the solace
chamber, "We give thanks to Adonni", he told her.
A figure in a black robe holding a golden bar that seemed to glow came
forward. Music started up and a group dressed in sparkling robes began
to sing, their voices singing deep and softly, it touched Rosanna she
had never heard anything so beautiful.

ADONNI. DEEP CALLETH UNTO DEEP,
ADONNI, DEEP CALLETH UNTO DEEP,
LIGHT WHICH NEVER DOTH SLUMBER OR SLEEP,
WE SING PRAISES UNTO YOU.

ADONNI. FATHER OF LIGHTS,
ADONNI.FATHER OF LIGHTS,
TAKE US RIGHT UP TO THE HEIGHTS,
AS WE OFFER YOU OURSELVES.
The figure took off his hood to reveal an old man. "That is Otus",
Turak whispered to Rosanna. "He is the acting oracal for this time, but
he has a gift of knowledge beyond time itself"."What is an oracal",
Rosanna was trying hard to keep her voice quiet.An Oracal is something
or someone who has the answers to the issues of truth, a guide or
teacher" replied Turak.They suddenly stopped talking when Otus began to
announce a testimony."In the begining was the darkness and in the
Parrellel world Adonni spoke and comanded the light, it shone forth and
in its wake our world was drawn into being. The Serpent begiled the
first woman and through her, offcast's came. (our people.)In the time
of the great floods those in the other world perished ,only a few were
spared. Adonni saw fit to open up a worm hole and the off cast people
without stain went through to safety.Today we have much to celibrate
and we have a guest from the other world in which we
welcome and recieve with honour"."They mean you Rosanna",Turak said
smiling. "Stand up". Rosanna stood blushing a little, she gave a smile
while everyone clapped.When the clapping had died down Otus said"The
feast is now open".Rosanna walked into a great large hall.She looked
around in awe,everyone was like Turak with large pointed ears and light
fawn skin. Everyone was welcoming and kind to her. they were equally in
awe of her, she noticed that they all looked at her little ears. She
smiled to herself when she heard a couple talking about her pale pink
skin and how adorable looking she was. A feast was held in honour of
Turaks return and his friend from the "other world".Rosanna was so
happy and wished that it would go on for ever, but all too soon Rosanna
had to return to her world.She sadly walked with Turak to the
teleportal."I will miss you Turak she said. They hugged and Rosanna
stepped on to the Platform. Turak held up a green stone hanging on a
piece of thin leather.He put it around her neck, she touched the stone
and all at once felt like she was holding Turak. She looked at him, Yes
There is something of me within the stone, She ran to him and squeezed
his hand "Thank you Turak, thank you". Rosanna stepped back under the
archway and within a few minute's began to Shimmer and fade.
Rosanna was waiting for the helicopter to pick her up from the Bay and
take her over to the main land . She was going to her new school, The
London Academy for Girls.She turned and looked down as Eddie was
greeting some new visiter's."Welcome to Hamilton Island----a Paradise
where all your cares can be melted away, as your dreams come
true----BUT only here on the island.
She heard a whirling sound to look up and to see the Helicopter landing
on the bay. She gave a sad sigh, as she gave a last look acros the
Island. Eddie was standing waving to her. She waved back. The noise of
the helicopter drowned out her shout's of good bye. He smiled. "Come
back soon" he mouthed. She nodded and walked to the Helicopter.
