" What Happens on Risa...Stays on Risa"....

Part:Four..

 

Kat was tugging playfully on his arm as she asked John "what is it you have for me anyway?"...John looked back at her grinning

from ear to ear...you'll find out..... shortly,he knew her natural curiousity was getting the best of her,he could see it, liken to a

child awaiting a present on her birthday,anxious and not desiring to be kept waiting...he knew it was getting to her...Tell you what

why dont you get us a table over there by the waterfalls,in the tea garden..I have to retrieve it from my room...I will be back soon

he smiled as he turned to go to the room,he could feel her eyes burning into his back...as if to be saying "ok,big brother"thats not

fair...I want to know what it is ,and I want to know right now.

Kat spoke to him as he was walking away...All right,but make it fast...smiling as he walked away...she walked over to the tea

garden and grabbed a table for them as he had suggested ,she ordered a glass of herbal tea for them both,turned her chair to the

direction she thought he would be coming back from...She hated waiting,and he knew that...she had the feeling she may be in for

a long wait as a part of a lesson he was trying to teach her...she sat there...drumming her fingers on the table top...pouting.

He was gone only long enough to retrieve a small wooden box,wrapped in leather,engraved on the lid in their native tongue was

a message from the families back on earth...the inscription read.."Your miracle at last little one,this has been entrusted to your

guardian angel for safe keeping,..now you shall know life as you should,without the constraints of time"...He returned to the tea

garden as fast as possible,any other time she would have been made to wait awhile,a lesson in patience if you will...however not

this time, she indeed deserved to have this gift,and he desired with all his will to ensure she received it...he approached her and

watched her as he joined her at the table...Kat was all smiles as she saw the box in his hands..she remarked that was fast,what do

you have there....her eyes twinkling bright like a childs ,waiting to get a new gift for being good...what is it?? she asked excitedly

Angel took a seat in front of her,placed a hand on the wrapped object,closed his eyes and recanted a traditional passage,a prayer

a thanking to the great spirit,the creator...he opened his eyes,gently he handed the object to her....he spoke gently to her as she

unwrapped the leather..now my little one,you shall no longer have to feel the pain,or the burdens of your rare sickness..he began

to weep softly...she stopped unwrapping the box to look at him,she saw the tears coming from his eyes and reached out, softly

touching his face to clear them away.."why do you cry?"..she read the inscription on the lid,opened the box..looked back to his

face looking intently at hers.

You have labored long,and with an awsome burden weighing on such small shoulders, the tears are tears of joy and happiness

little one...I am so thankful to have lived long enough to see this day arrive...to see you receive your cure,Kat had begun to weep

as well,her eyes unable to stop the tears as they began to pour freely,she sat the box down,and quickly moved to hug him tightly

How can I repay you for this she cried on his shoulder...he gently hugged her as they both wept,tears flowing freely...they must

have appeared strange indeed to the other guest in the garden,they did not care,weeping tears of joy was good medicine....this is

something they knew very well.

Kat regained her composure a bit..turned her attention back to the small wood box,she reached in finding a hypo wrapped in a

scroll written by her grandfather,even more tears welled up in her eyes,she knew he had passed awhile back..the scroll had a ..

passage written upon it ,to be read while the hypo was given.she turned back to John..."Arch would you help me with this?? He

nodded at Kat...it would be an honor little one,as for payment..,heh,there is no repayment...it is a gift remember that,smiling as

she removed the contents from the box...She continued,as I do not know how my body will react to this i shall remain seated,I

will read the passage if you would place the hypo to my neck,and release the contents,the instructions read,you are to release a

small amount with each line of the passage,..Kat handed him the hypo as she asked...are you ready??..he nodded and placed

the hypo to her neck,took his own prayer feather out,do not worry little one,all will be well with you,he began to silently pray as

he waved the feather over her head,waiting for the first passage...I am ready little one.

Kat began to read the passages...pausing after each line,allowing Arch to administer the drug as her grandfather had written

upon the scroll..as the final passage was recited,and the last of the drug was given..she began to become sleepy,she turned to

John....facing him ..I am starting to get sleepy Arch,but grandfather wrote this would happen..when I awaken ,I will be cured.

Kats eye lids appeared to be getting noticeably heavier even to john..." I am afraid ..I...I cannot stand..I need to sleep..mere

seconds after she had uttered those words...she leaned over as to rest on his shoulder..he caught her up in his arms,gently nest

ling her close to him...he looked at her face,seeing the tension drained from her,...replaced by a blissful peaceful visage...Yes

little one..sleep now,for when you awaken..you shall begin to see life through different eyes,the eyes of the living,not the eyes

of the dying...he gathered up the contents of the box,placed each item in his personal carry bag,,all the while cradling her as

a parent would a small child whom had fallen asleep during a story...he left the tea garden carrying her in his arms, many of

the resorts guest had retired for the evening...that was a blessing,less odd looks that way..he proceeded to his room with a

determined gate...looking at her he whispered,"you will hear me now as in a dream, do not fear,be assured and comforted..

now we begin the second phase of the cure little one", I shall stay on watch as you go through the journey that only a few of

us have received this honor...and rites of passage to the awakening.
