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

Part : Five...

 

John easily carried Kat's small resting body to his room....gently placed her down upon the trade blanket he had placed on his

bed..closed and locked the door,from there he went to the climate controls in the room,flipped on the manual override switch,..

and increased the room temperature to what some might consider a dangerously high level...he then slipped into his traditional

clothing,gathered his own medicine bag,assumed a position at the foot of the bed...thinking...and now it begins..he watched her

very closely,carefully,..waiting for the sweat to begin...he observed the first of many beads of sweat begin to form and roll onto

her face,then down to the blanket..he smiled...nodded,and began the chant,ancient in it's origin,in the tongue spoken by the ones

long passed in centuries before..a tradition passed down through the ages.

Kat was in a dream like state..she thought she could hear Arch,but unsure it was him speaking...every thing was as in a dense

fog that surrounded her..she could feel the heat from within her growing,intensifying,she began to sweat ...there ,how could that

be..sweating in a dream...John saw her begin to shiver...her breathing becoming more rapid,she was quivering,shaking she was

starting to become frightend..the cure was working it's way throughout her body repairing,and fortifying the tissue at the genetic

literally regenerating tissue..and opening new neural pathways she had never known,now was the tim,he rose and quickly went

to her side..he placed a heavy woolen blanket made from a bear hide over her ,to increase the heat even more..he took her hand

speaking in the ancient tounge..he spoke softly,reassuringly to her,letting her know in the other world she was in ,all was well ,he

was with her...and would remain there to guard her on her journey in the next world.,he squeezed her hand...gently,deliberately.

She could hear his words of comfort now..clearly,she moved her fingers around his hand,then slowly releasing it...she was in

a different world now,a world of intense colors and beauty,and wonder...she could see the ones that had passed before her,but

could not speak...her spirit guide was pointing her to the direction of a blue light...a soothing cool light,nothing like this had ever

she seen in the past ,on any of her vision quest..John was watching intently through the night,the next day,as the sun was setting

he began the chant to guide her back from the otherside,now was the last phase ,he grasped her hand tightly,chanting softly at

first,calling for her to come and see the sunset of her old afflicted,sickness ravaged life...and to watch the dawn of her disease

free life begin,he pressed even more firmly on her small hand,chanting more loudly as the seconds sped by,quickening the rythm

and cadence moment by moment,he watched as she began to twist and turn ,as if she were walking in place...he could not,no

he dared not stop now...to do so would invite the possibility for her to remain there,and she could not..it was not her time yet.

Kat heard him calling to her,as from the misty veil that separates our two realms,the physical from the spiritual...Once again

her guide pointed her in the direction she was to take,she could see what appeared to be Arch standing in a cloudy realm,calling

her to him,beckoning her to him...she began to run ,or at least trying to run,her heartbeat seemed to fill her ears now,pounding

unmercifully like a drum,it seemed the harder she ran,the futher she drew away from him,she then recalled the words and the

teachings of being patient by her father,and grandfather...she closed her eyes,calmly beginning to take slow,easy steps towards

the figure of Arch...she was making progress now,finally she joined him...reaching out to touch his outstretched hands.

John was still chanting,watching her closely..Kat's eyelids began to flicker,her breathing slowing,he could feel her pulse slowing

back to a normal rate,..He stopped the chant,gathered a cool damp cloth and began to rub her face and forehead,he spoke to

her now softly," yes little one..it is time to return now,come with me",He maintained the grip on her hand,easing the pressure a

bit...come little one,come back,wake up...wake up, and welcome to your new life.

Kat opened her eyes slowly..seeing Arch sitting next to her,feeling the cool damp cloth on her face,she reached up and tugged

the handle was holding up to her face,holding it,caressing it...she looked into his eyes and smiled," It is over,It is all over",she

breathed in a deep breath,then fell back into a normal,peaceful sleep...
