-I understand. Well. Now, help me to liberate my friends of the case “Cardumen“. -No, no. The case is already not any “Cardumen“, but “Emblems“. Its key was also changed. -Ah, thank you. Go take me towards them, and try to behave in a military way. -Oh, yes, and that God help us in this noble cause … to be able to help a being of such a high evolution …: What am I saying? I was completely atheistic … -Keep the reflections, contemplations and praises for a moment of lesser risk that this one. -Oh … yes. -No, none of this “oh … yes”. Say: YES, CHIEF! -YES, CHIEF! - and take this smile offyou faces, remember that here no one smiles -oh … yes … -I SAID SAY: YES, CHIEF! -YES, CHIEF! The three began to walk towards the corridors. I was looking more nervous than a cockroach in a henhouse … Page 201 of 277 -FASTER. WALK AS IF YOU WERE FURIOUS, BECAUSE THERE ARE CAMERAS, AND OBSERVERS OBSERVE ITS SCREENS. -Oh … yes … I Say …: YES, CHIEF! On having penetrated a door, a pair of guards asked them for the password: - FLAGS OF WAR! -FLAMING BIGHEADS! – Ami answered, with a more aggressive voice now that of the very same Tonk. He had learned the lesson. -WHERE DO YOU GO? -TOWARDS THE PRISONERS OF THE CASE EMBLEMS! -GO AHEAD! I sighed relieved, Ami had managed to put in HIS favor the adverse circumstances, but …:, for how long? -It seems that “daddy“ has bathed for the first time in his life – mentioned maliciously one of the guards who were guarding the entry from where Ami and his two assistants were leaving. The other answered: -So it seems. He did not leave his perfume this time… - and they started laughing furtively. I was glad that they had taken the matter in so lightly… Further on an elevator appeared, they entered, the door closed, but I could see them. Page 202 of 277 -FLAGS OF WAR! – said a voice from a speaker. -FLAMING BIGHEADS! – Ami-terri thundered. -AUTHORIZED! Somehow I knew that if the password had not been the suitable one, this elevator had gone directly towards severely armed investigators … Ami observed the terris, who were adoring him with their sight, trying to simulate his high spiritual emotion; indicated the button panel like asking which one to press. One of them did it and the vehicle started towards the cellars, most complex and armored place of the headquarters of the Political Police, and then I stopped seeing them. While I was looking at the screen, I was requesting that everything was going off well, but the time passed and passed and nothing happened. Occasionally I saw some terris going in and out of the elevator, but nothing more, until suddenly the worst thing happened: the alarm was sounding stridently throughout the barracks … Immediately, one entire troop of armed men came up to the doors of elevator, even the real Tonk, who was shouting infuriated while he was waiting the doors to open, which never did so -THESE SONS OF BITCH BLOCKED THE ELEVATOR!... GO BY THE STAIRS ONE SQUAD! The next moment one of them returned: -THE ENEMY BLOCKED THE DOORS OF THE STAIRS AS WELL! - DEMOLISH THEM THEN! Page 203 of 277 -YES, CHIEF! I was driven to despair, especially when I began to feel the explosions, but moments later something wonderful happened: the doors of the elevator were opened and out of them a blue flash arose, and then the whole brilliant cloud of golden points went away expanding in the corridor, making approximately fifty Love-illuminated armed terris that were over there, even Tonk, who wanted to kiss the hand of his double when he came out with Goro, Clorka and …: VINKA! She was smiling happily. They were also under the effects of the spiritual beams. Then I activated the yellow light so that my friends could enter it, which they did immediately, while fifty shaggy terris, soft like lambs, they were seeing them off with blessings and the brilliant eyes of emotion … -Press the transformation key, Pedro – Ami-terri said from the room of reception. The four had come safe and healthy. I pressed the key and he returned to his normal appearance. I went to embrace Vinka, who was looking at me as if she was seeing a species of God, while Goro and Clorka, in rapture and idolizing Ami. I was grateful that everything had come out well. Ami shot three green flashes and they recovered their habitual minds. They hugged us strongly with Vinka. She started sobbing of emotion. But Goro went on from the most sweet mysticism to the most intense anger: -THESE BAILIFFS, SCOUNDRELS, ANIMALS, EVIL BORN, BEASTS!... I understood that they had treated you very badly. - Forget it – advised him Ami taking his arm - already you are safe. -They put current in my … in … Oh! HOW I WANTED TO KILL THEM! Page 204 of 277 -and you saved yourself on time, because they always begin with "soft" methods; later they apply the "hard" systems … - -Fortunately, they managed to torture neither Vinka nor to Clorka … No, I did not know the class of beasts that … Clorka was crying. -I neither, Goro, and now: what are we going to do? We cannot anymore return to our house … Ami spoke to them clearly: -Forget that. You have to leave aside forever the past, the house, its objects, everything; imagine that a hurricane happened and devastated the house, but you are alive and safe. - yes, but now we do not have anything. -Do not say that, Goro, you have something very valuable: Love, and this is the most beautiful thing of the Universe. Goro pondered a little and then embraced Clorka and Vinka. -You are right, child, this is the most valuable. But on the other hand, we do not anymore have the right to walk free on the street. Perhaps we must ask for political asylum in another country … -Do not even think it, Goro. If you were a common and current politician, of the time yes; but you are related to the VIP topic, extra planetary life, and you already know that there is much paranoia and ambition with regard to this subject-matter. You would not be safe in any place. -AND WHAT WE CAN DO THEN! – shouted desperately Clorka. Page 205 of 277 -Do not worry, we will take you to the hut of Krato, in the Utna mountain. There you will be safe and you will be able to rest until it is decided what to do. Ami took the control of the ship and instantaneously we were "located" in Utna. There, it was dawning. We descended in the farm of Krato. Trask was affectionate with us, although not too much with Goro … -What a divine farm! – moved Clorka said contemplating the tones of the sky in the horizon, which were going from violet to red orange, as the sun began to set behind hills. Goro began to show a lot of interest in the place, he was inhaling the mountain air looking at all the sides, paying attention to the wonderful concert that they were producing ,the singings of an enormous variety of birds in the dawn. For them it was like having come from hell, the torture and the cell of the PP, to the paradise in just a few minutes. -What a beautiful garden! Look at those muflos, Goro, these ambrokas, frindas and melenias; those burisas, these trees of topa, of buroburo , of hoho… -and also there are kikis, guajos and zubayas, Clorka. I only had seen them in the supermarket. -Yes I too. This is my first time in a rural garden. Oh, here there are aromatic herbs, longuchas, tenkas and zumberras. And also there are flowers, Goro! look at those pepiyas, those so enormous lurindas and colorful. Their eyes were coming out of their orbits as we were approaching towards the hut. Page 206 of 277 -Here there is muflos liquor! – Goro exclaimed on having seen the wine vault of the hermit -I need one gulp and a bed. -and I also – Clorka said humbly. -then go ahead, go into the hut. We entered and Vinka opened the windows. -What a folk place, Goro! It is just as in the series of the TV “The Little house of Mountain” … -I must admit that this is very beautiful, Clorka, but after sleeping, we will see more. Sleep is bursting me. -Here they have a mattress on the floor, there you will be able to sleep calmly. -What a very typical thing! This …: are there no creeping ones somewhere here? – Clorka asked with true fear. -No, Clorka. At this heights ,on the mountains the creeping ones do not come, and also not the lesser poisonous ones-Ami calmed her down. -And patapatas? -neither, Clorka. -but in this corner close to the roof I see a patapata web. Page 207 of 277 -ah, yes. But these patapatitas do not sting the people. They are there to eat up the annoying one chupetines and to the zumbozas that might come flying from the outside. Here there is nothing that can hurt you. Goro proceeded towards the mattress, which was not very comfortable for him because it was not made for a gigantic terri. Ami went towards him: -I need Vinka in the ship until tomorrow. She is invited to have dinner in the house of Pedro's grandmother. The dinner would have already finished, but in a few minutes we can be there and to reactivate the holiday, which now will be finished with the presence of Vinka. And later I have to show them some important things. Do you give her permission, Goro? You said that you were going to to do it … The terri already had the eyes closed. -Eh?... Ah, yes, but if she behaves … zzzzzzz … -tomorrow we will be back here, and if you are hungry, there in the kitchen there must be a pan with a disgusting garabolo stew in hot sauce that Krato … On having listened to that, Goro woke up and joined, very interested. -Garabolo in hot sauce?... Where?... Vinka indicated to Clorka where the kitchen was, and she started warming the pan, happy to be in such a rustic place. -How marvelous!... A firewood kitchen !... Goro only was thinking now about the stew. Page 208 of 277 -Garabolo! Mmm … Delightful. My favorite delicacy! They are very scarce because they cannot grow in captivity. Where does Krato obtain garabolos? -In this very place , uncle, this is full of wild garabolos. You did not see them because they leave very early when the sun is a little higher. Krato has traps to catch them. -Then this is a paradise! Stay here to have dinner with us. Goro was getting enthusiastic and even tried to be kind, which surprised me. -No, thank you, Goro. First I had to see the sinister remains of a butchered animal, now is a jumble of mutilations of garabolo, What awaits me if I remain here. Been grateful, but no thanks. Why cannot you eat fresh fruits and vegetables? Goro did not feel diminished by Ami's comment. -you should see how substantial a garabolo stew is, instead of criticizing. -I prefer not to contaminate my organism with substances of low vibratory quality. Thank you very much for the kind and generous invitation, but we need to go. While the meal warmed up in the stove we’ll say good-bye, Goro was so filled with enthusiasm with the rural place and with the perspective of a garabolo in hot sauce, that he passed the hand with muflos juice and he seemed to have forgotten his worries with regard to Vinka and the PP. Now he was in another world, a world more benign, with resplendent sceneries, a prolific garden, fat garabolos reachable with hand and lot of fermented juice … Page 209 of 277 Soon we were going again in the direction of the Earth. -it is already much late there – I pointed out - my grandmother and Krato must have gone to bed. -you are wrong, Pedro. I have just thrown a glance and they are still chatting over a dessert. They have much to converse … -Then we still have time to go! -Sure! Your grandma was right. It would not harm you to listen to her advice occasionally. Vinka wanted to find out about this matter and we told her that she was right on having thought that we would come on the same night. -She is very intuitive… -No, it is not that, rather has a very powerful faith – Ami explained to her. -I feel that your grandma is going to like me, Pedro. -Certainly, Vinka, and you also will like her. Later I asked: - Ami: What did you do on having gone out of the elevator in the armored sector? - Nothing I was launching those golden lights in the corridors, and the spellbound terris were craving to helping me. They led me up to our friends and helped me to liberate them, including the very same Goro's tormentors who became affectionate and sweet Page 210 of 277 with me. But the guards who were watching the monitors made the alarm sound when they saw that Tonk was on the screen and before them at the same time … Then I said to my numerous assistants that they should block the doors and should maintain the elevator arrested. They did that. This way we came up through the beam that you you lit and it brought to us to this ship. Simple. Yes, simple, but for him … Later, Vinka recaptured the central point of our eagerness: -I hope uncle Goro authorizes me to live on the Earth … I believe that what has happened in these days might have softened his heart. -I do not want to be a killjoy, Vinka, but do not get enthusiastic too much. I thought the same at first, but now I suspect that Goro is programmed to prevent always the happiness of the others. He really is a killjoy by vocation. -the fact is that the poor uncle had a too rigid and severe upbringing. Vinka explained - happiness is something prohibited for him. -but all the sufferings that has happened lately might change him… - I said. -the suffering is a teacher – the child of the stars showed … but its teachings are very expensive, they leave ugly wounds in the soul. And it can become addictive also. Sometimes the people get accustomed to suffering so much that they cannot decide in favor of another kind of life. If they miss suffering they feel like air is lacking…And there exist still others who think that God likes to see His sons to suffer and so they look for frightful lives … That's why, the best Teacher who exists is called Love, and the real Love is the result of a good balance between kindness and intelligence. But, regrettably, for the time being Goro is not at this necessary height. Page 211 of 277 8 HEXIS We are already arriving to your house, Pedro, we threw a glance at the monitor. On the screen there appeared Krato and my grandma dying with laughter, sitting at the table. -Then I seized a terri’s neck with the arm, to another side with another arm and I made his hit the huge-headed ones. Their heads burst like pumpkins, but inside there was nothing at all, because inside a terri’s head, there is nothing. Ho, ho, ho! -Ha, ha, ha! – my grandmother was seconding him happily. Krato was telling her his lies, his pleasantries rather, because he knew very well that nobody was going to believe his exaggerations. Vinka was perplexed: -But …: What is happening here?... This gentleman looks alike Krato, but it is not he … We explained to her the changes to which he was submitted. Then and there she wanted that Ami fattened her legs, but he said that for the time being she would have to remain like how she is .i.e, the whole beautiful girl– he said, like a flirtatious comment. She looked at her legs and did not agree. My grandmother was stimulating Krato to keep on fantasizing. -And with the third terri, what did do you, Krato? Page 212 of 277 -Ah, that one … Yes … Now I remember it. He was big and wide like a bull that I saw yesterday on the television. -Uy!… -the frightful terri was spitting, throwing froth from the mouth and sparks from the eyes. He prepared himself to hit me. The hate was pouring out of him. He threw some dirt backwards with a paw, seized with impulse and came above to throw me from the precipice; I was on the rim, and only it was provided with handles to defend myself. -And what did you do then? -nothing at all. When I was at a fingers distance I moved to one side rapidly… -AND?… -I said “Olé“ and the terri went far away into the abyss. Ho, ho, ho! -Ha, ha, ha. - evidently, this pair is highly compatible – Ami indicated with an accomplice smile. Vinka was filled with enthusiasm. She is a very nice and happy lady, she is going to receive us very well. -Be sure of that, Vinka. Ami stopped the ship over my house of the beach. -We have arrived. We are going to join below in this celebration. We descended through the beam of yellow light and presented ourselves before them. Page 213 of 277 They could not believe that everything had been solved so rapidly and that Vinka there. The holiday was recommencing, and now with all, nobody was missing. My grandmother was looking admiringly at and caressing my fiancée. -Vinka is a wonderful creature, Pedrito! A little different on the outside compared to what is normal here, but it is seen that inside she is a very good girl. I knew that Saint Cirilo was not going to fail me. Did you see? -You are the actual champion, zodiacal child. How did you rescue Vinka and her uncle and aunt from the armored sector of the PP? Ami told the story and we we gave a happy general applause to the child of the stars. Later, he said that I had helped him and that also I was deserving an applause, and so they applauded me. My grandmother was happy. -and now, although it was late, the happiness continued in this house, also we were in holidays and nobody was working here tomorrow. I will serve you dinner, Vinka. I will come. Make yourself comfortable here. What happiness, my God! -and I want another plate – I said, because earlier I had eaten only half. Soon the meal came. -What a good aroma! Mmmm – said Vinka-. But I do not know if I am going to like this food….although it smells wonderful … -Vinka, you are going to Love it, imagine that it is a garabolo. -Lets see …, Let me try this meat which looks so soft…M…I like it very much. -Puaf. I return at once, I am going to my ship to eat my HEALTHY food, because I have almost not eaten the entire day. I will be back. Page 214 of 277 -Bring it here and we will all eat together - my grandmother said -I am afraid that it is not possible, Lily, because on having seen and after it smells what you eat my appetite is gone. But I will return at once. The color of the wine attracted the attention of Vinka. -This drink has a very pretty color. -the "Wine" is a delight, Vinka. -Do you want to try it? – my grandmother asked her. -yes, please, Lily. -here you have, only one small glass for children. More wine, Krato -Not now, thank you very much, Lily. I was imagining that Krato was half drunk , that's why I was surprised on seeing him push back the drink. -do not say to me that you are not going to take any more wine, Krato … I do not know of what you speak, earthling child. It happens that I do not drink rapidly because I like very much to drink. -I do not understand you, Krato. -when I drink I do it slowly, “Betro“, tasting every gulp, because if I drink rapid it gives me sleep and I start snoring, and this holiday is wonderful, I would not Love to lose, and I do not also want to deprive myself of the aptitude to enjoy the exquisite flavor of this beautiful terrestrial discovery called “Wine“. I must recognize that the juice of muflos, next to the "Wine", is at the level of a rude rustic concoction. What is the name of the fruit from which this juice of the gods comes? Page 215 of 277 I went to the fridge and sliced a bunch of grapes. -These ones. There are called grapes. -What a beautiful bunch, extrakiano child. -They are wonderful! Allow me to try one – exclaimed Vinka. -Sure. -Exquisite! -It seems to me that San Krato Warehouse will create a division in this world. Ho, ho, ho! Now when I remember …: Did you feed Trask. -yes, Krato. My uncle and aunt remained in your hut, who will take care of Trask, your bugo likes them very much. -what demonic things is that terri doing in my hut? Ami was returning. -It was the best place available for hiding them, Krato.I hope it does not bother you. -Hum. This is … He looked at my grandmother, who was smiling tenderly. -no, it of course does not bother me. And this way, Trask will remain accompanied., How long are they going to stay there, Ami? -Krato did not seem very satisfied, in spite of his attempt of hiding it. Page 216 of 277 -if you want we can return right now, I leave you there and take Vinka’s uncle and aunt to the other side. Shall we go, Krato? -Nooo. I was asking about it with simple curiosity. Also … -Aslo what, Krato? -Well … We had spoken about the possibility of I remaining somewhere here … -That he remains on the Earth, Ami! He is already transformed into an earthling. -And where would he live? – the child of white asked us. -Here, with us, for sure. True, grandma? -I would be pleased … Vinka would sleep in my room and Krato in that which is empty. Ami seemed to agree with these arrangements. -Very well, for me there is no problem. Are you ready not to return any more to your hut, Krato? The old man got excited. -That is … The truth is that I did not hope something like this to happen so soon. And there were many years in that beautiful place … sniff … But I already once had me to leave all my past behind, when I transformed myself in swama. Not even the toothbrush I could take with me, and I will tell you that I was very, but very important, rich and … Not, that is already of no interest. The past needs to be always left behind, true, Ami? -Right, Krato. Exactly for this purpose the death exists. Page 217 of 277 -How is this, cosmonaut child? -You are very attached to everything, to your places, to your dear ones, to your belongings, to your addictions, to your ideas, to your appearance, to your memories, to your routines, to everything. And the Universe needs that its creatures are evolving, being perfected by means of other experiences, other situations, other places, others persons, other ideas. But due to your fidelity, the only way that is left to be able to go on to other learning situations, and also of happiness, is by means of decline and destruction of the “clothes“, of this body. And then, farewell to the fidelities, to another story, to turn the sheet again, the end, and that they have left not even the memory, except much, much depth of the soul. -And then do we die? – Vinka asked. -You do not leave another way than that of being estranged by force, but if you were less attached, as it happens with souls of higher evolution, they would not need that one hard process called death. They would leave easily aside their fidelities and would move voluntarily to the new situations that the Universe has prepared for them; also, they would not lose the memory of the previous situation. In my memory are all my previous lives , since I was half a gorilla up to today. We all remained very thoughtful before the simple explanation of Ami. Many times, I had doubted the God's kindness on having thought that why He had invented something so painful like the death. But now, thanks to this explanation, the death was acquiring for me a sense that it was not contradictory with the idea of Love God, because it is a natural that the Love looks for our evolution, for our improvement, and if we are not capable of overcoming voluntarily our fidelities, we do not leave another way than of to be pushed by force out of one situation to pass through another. -you are right, neutronic child. Some day I had to leave that place, Page 218 of 277 separation was inevitable, and if that is like that, if that time is right now, so be it. Already, am here, I will stay here forever … along with this beautiful lady, yes – he said, taking my grandmother by her shoulder. She brought her head over to the breast of the mountain-dweller, smiling pleased. It was clear that the romance was already armed, but now it was not bothering me, on the contrary, I liked the idea always of having Krato around her close by. Suddenly, he remembered something. -But Trask … - and his eyes became damp. Ami started laughing. -Trask is going to be well. I will take charge of him, Krato. He trusts in me. Can you do it? -That is … sniff … I believe yes. I trust in you, and I am grateful to you for it, Ami. -You are welcome, Krato. Further on I will deal with your insertion in this world, we will see to it. Well, it is time to finish such a nice meeting. It is late and tomorrow I have to lead you to knowing other things, children. -the bed of Vinka is already prepared in my room, beside mine. -but do not get enthusiastic too much, you already know how Goro is. -Very well, I have to go back to the ship and I will return tomorrow. We said goodbye and I went to bed almost without being able to believe what was happening: Vinka would sleep in my house! My happiness had no limits, except for what might happen with Goro… But it was one very hard day and it was much late. Scarcely I put the head in my pillow I fell into a deep sleep. Page 219 of 277 Next day I woke up few soft knocks on my door. Still half asleep, I did not remember what had happened the previous day, I did not remember anything, that's why I said: -come in, grandma. But instead of my grandmother the beautiful Vinka appeared bringing a tray in her hands. It seemed to me that I was dreaming during the most beautiful sleep of the world, but it was not a sleep, my soul mate was bringing to me the breakfast in that tray, the breakfast and all her fondness. -oh …: Vinka!... You did not have to bother … Thank you very much. - it is not an inconvenience, Pedro, it is a real pleasure. Did you sleep well? She sat down next to me looking tenderly. -oh, yes, very well … Thanks to you …: And did you sleep well? -it was one of the most beautiful nights of my life … Knowing that I was so quite near of you … My grandmother also appeared. -good morning, kid. You have to hurry because Ami and Krato are already ready and they are waiting for you. -What, Ami came already? - yes, some time ago. - And why did not you wake me up earlier? Page 220 of 277 - Vinka wanted you to rest a little more … she is going to take care of You very much-she said, with true implication. -Let us go inside and look at what the lazy “Betro” is doing, Ami– said Krato coming insdie the room with Ami. For me, that I have no brothers and that I am used to certain solitude at home, that one was a very curious situation. Normally, nobody enters my room when I am put to bed, and now there was Vinka, my grandmother, Krato and Ami … Then I realized that Krato was dressed in a beach shirt, shorts, sneakers and white stockings, beach clock also with a little plastic red mail box and a cap with visor. Now yes that was looking like a common and current earthling. -Where from did you extract these clothes, Krato? Ha, ha, ha! Ami went forward to answer: -I brought them to him. Do you like, Krato? -No … I mean yes. But this child is laughing at me …: Do I look like a big ugly bird? -Yes of course – Vinka said laughing. For her, these garbs also were strange. But my grandmother encouraged it: -Nooo, Krato, you turn out to be very well dressed like this, very sportive and juvenile. -you look very well, Krato – I said- I was laughing. About “prophet“ to “ beach playboy” … But it is not a mockery. -Are you ready for a return into the stars, Pedro? – Ami asked me smiling happily. Page 221 of 277 -I have still to bathe and … -no, nothing of that. It is enough that you enter the room of cleanliness of my ship, you know already. -oh, yes, I had forgotten it. I served quickly the breakfast to myself and soon we were saying goodbye to my grandmother. -Do you want to look for any of your things in your hut, Krato, or that I bring you something? -no, dynamite child. I died for Kía, and the dead persons do not take with them anything to the other world; Neither did I bring anything to this world … sniff. Do not forget to take care of poor Trask , … sniff … and to bring a pair of chubby and juicy garabolos. Ho, ho, ho! Once more we were sliding into the ship for another space-time… Ami, Vinka and I. -Where are we going, Ami? -I want to show you one more interesting world amongst the thousands of evolved worlds of this galaxy. It wont take long. Later we will go to see what is happening with Clorka and Goro. A completely dry planet appeared behind the glasses. It was looking very much like our moon, but it had more reddish tonalities, that is to say, it was similar to Mars. Our ship was directing towards its surface at an enormous speed. -Here we are: this is the Hexis world. Here there is a much more advanced civilization than all those which you have seen until now. Page 222 of 277 As Ami began to fly around that sphere at an impressive speed, doing a revolution in less than one minute, very quickly, I understood that there was no sea. -This seems to be a dead and dry planet … Ami was very satisfied. -ah, yes. In its surface there is nothing more than stones, but in its interior … -do not say to me that the whole civilization of this world is inside … -yes it is, Pedrito. All the humanities who have a level of evolution like that of beings of this planet have moved their civilizations to the interior. Vinka was interested very much. -Do you mean that the most advanced worlds do not live on the surface? -Of course. The interior is much safer. -Why?… -for the same treason hat I told you with regard to the underground bases. There inside the undesirable parts of the moments of the sun do not reach nor other annoying beams, the meteorites cannot come, neither the thunderstorms, nor the hail nor the tornadoes nothing; it is possible to regulate the climate by will in less space, wonderful ecosystems can be created, very illuminated and full of water and oxygen, although out here is neither ambience nor a water drop. They can avoid the annoying insects and other un desirable species of these ecosystems. And one does not attract attention of the un-evolved neighbors … it is possible to live next to worlds like yours without them realizing that a whole big civilization exists inside of this neighboring planet, a seemingly dead and dry planet … Anyway, know that : to live inside the worlds is an evolutionary stage much superior in the cosmic life … Page 223 of 277 -Golly! That is an innovation, had never imagined it so. And now when I think, that might explain that all the planets of our solar system should seem no to have life … -and it is the same in our solar system – Vinka said. Ami was glad. -Right, boys. In the Universe there is muuuuch more life than you suppose, but since your civilizations are so "spiritual" … it is better that for the time being that they do not know that one more step exists above. -I realize … -On the other hand, to live inside a world is a reflection of the attitude of the soul. -How is that? -the humanities of your worlds live in the outer part: yes? -Sure. -in the part which is out OF EVERYTHING … I Mean, that you do not pay attention to the internal, they are superficial, and that's why they live on the surface of their worlds. This is one reflection of the attitude of your souls. -Can you explain it better? -To you it is interesting to know everything that is outside, very far, that's why they make big efforts to go out, to go to other solar systems if it was possible, to millions of kilometers outwards; but about what exists within a small distance, inside your own planets, about that they do not know anything, nor are they interested in it very much. Page 224 of 277 -It is true!... There exists a NASA that goes outside; but there does not exist a NASA that investigate inwards … and that is much closer …because they look only at the external things, at the appearance of everything, of the others and of themselves, without paying too much attention to the internal thing. -What a curious subject, but I believe that I begin to understand … -for the same superficial attitude of your souls, you do not know even yourselves, you never throw a glance towards the interior of your hearts; there is interest only of the external thing, the visible thing with the eyes, the material thing, the dense thing; and that's why they live in worlds that are a reflection of their souls, where the material predominates very strongly over the spiritual or interior or subtle. And also that's why they have the tendency to blame the others for their dramas, without seeing that everything has its origin in the interior of everyone. -Vinka made conclusions: -Ofir then is not a world quite advanced, and your world either. -Yes. Our own ones are exterior civilizations for the time being, but in Ofir as well as in Galactic Doll, my planet, since some time we are preparing our ecosystems inside. That's why, when I took you to my world and when we were leaving I said to you that we had visited only the exterior. Do you remember? -ah, yes. I remember. -I also. By the way. How is your mom, Ami? – I asked. -perfectly well. Preparing herself to come to Kyria along with my father. -How nice! I always remember her advice: "The feet in the ground, the sight above and the heart in Love”. Give her our greetings, Ami. -Yes will do. Well. Would you like to live inside a world? Page 225 of 277 Vinka doubted. -in spite of the nice thing that it seems … I do not know, it produces a sensation in me as of claustrophobia … to never be able to look at the stars … -here also it is possible to project the aspect of the exterior sky on the domes, Vinka. -yes … very well, must be a thing of getting accustomed … -many advances are faced with rejection at first, but further on, the people do not want to lose them. For example, with the writing. It was more romantic to write with ink and a feather pen , now writing is done with computer keyboards, and almost nobody would want to return to the pen, neither to the wagons nor to the signs of smoke. Ami directed the ship in to the interior of the arid Hexis surface. -We are going to penetrate with an authorized entry, as we did in ShayaSalim, so they are not terrified when they see that we are going to hit the area. And so it was: we "dematerialized" to enter crossing the dark rocks that they were blocking the entry, while Vinka was covering the face with horror… Immediately we appeared in an impressive world of light and color that seemed to have no limits. We could not believe what we saw. -BEEEAAAAUUUU! Lakes, meadows of green and orange tone, buildings that were looking like glazing multicolored crystals and of a futurist architecture that not even in Ofir could I see. Enormous buildings and of other forms: floating in the air! Big paved patios or with lawn of several colors, in that many people were going in for sports; beautiful Page 226 of 277 stadiums, thousands of spaceships, natural gardens full of trees, shrubs and planted flowers so that they were shaping beautiful designs that were appreciated better from the height. -This is the most beautiful thing that I have ever seen in my life! – Vinka full of happiness was expressing. -Just as in the Kía base, the "sky" was looking like a real sky, Only that it tended more toward light pink than sky blue and the most impressive thing of everything was that I could not see the limits of that extraordinary cavern. -In these worlds , the populations live in cavities that sometimes have tens of kilometers of diameter – was telling Ami-. There there are establishment constructed, that never replete with people like your cities. I already told you that big cities do good neither to the persons nor to the planet. In these big spaces, everything has been done by harmony with the Universe. There are many of these establishments in this world, big and small, and they all are linked with each other. -This is a super civilization, Ami!... -Sure. Now we are going to go to see an interplanetary beauty contest -he said laughing-. There are many visitors originating from a big variety of worlds in this place today. That seemed rare to me, because the beauty contests always gave me the idea of to be something superficial, but I was already getting accustomed to it as Ami was showing us unexpected surprises that, after all, were not what we had thought. He stopped the ship in a "parking" located in a patio on a big circular building. Along with our ship I could see an immense variety of spaceships of Page 227 of 277 diverse sizes, but rather small in general. Some persons were moving there going or coming from their vehicles. I was called to attention powerfully by few enormous beings of big red heads and multicolored outfits. Their faces were not even vaguely human, and there were many other types of humanoids. Almost it was looking like a disguises holiday, but the whole world was happy. In many cases, I did not know if they had colorful hair with eccentric hairstyles or if they were adornments or hats. The same was happening to me with some details of the faces or of the bodies. -Look at those guys, Vinka – I said on seeing some beings who had tails … Ami was laughing. -This species lived in the trees in its past. But it is good that you do not criticize anything. You have to have your minds extensively open, because here you are going to see things that will seem very curious or ridiculous to you, but for these persons are completely normal. Now we are going to the cleaning quarters to disinfect so as to go down. We did so and then we descended along with Ami. We walked towards an elevator nearby. Its door was opened and from it existed a couple of … well, I was going to say giant feathered parrots, but Ami says that it is necessary to respect, and so there came out another couple of extreme heights and colors … they greeted us with big amiability in the language of the evolved worlds and they continued their way. Vinka and I became a little nervous because we did not know what to do. Once inside of elevator, Ami was amusing himself looking at our faces. -Here, nobody is going to hurt you, children. The box of that vehicle, round and transparent, was very big, and its roof was very high. I understood that very, very tall beings were occupying it sometimes. We descended towards the interior of the building and from that height I could see an ambience full of … people … The most incredible variety of Page 228 of 277 “humanoid models” were walking over there, using the strangest clothing that it is possible to conceive. Some of them were provoking in me big fear, due to their faces and strange bodies, but the whole world seemed very ardent and happy. When the doors of the elevator were opened and we went out, I felt a nice perfume. -the place is perfumed so that the natural smells of some species do not bother someone else… Let us Go, let's enter the room, the presentation has begun already. We entered a few big doors and I could see an illuminated stage in the central point of that room, surrounded with seats full of … people. Not all chairs were equal; the smallest were occupied by beings of less size, they were sitting in the front, closer to the stage; the biggest, behind. We were directed towards the sector of the kids. We found a line with few people. Ami asked for permission while we were advancing between the legs of kind … little brothers of the Universe … but nobody was paying a special attention to us. When we settled I started seeing what was happening there. A quite fat and burly entertainer, of grey face and very big mouth (he reminded me of a hippopotamus, but I say it with all respect) … much happy he was reporting the merits of the candidate who was going to present. Turning on the translator earphone, I could understand almost everything. I say "almost", because many of the things that he was saying were not making sense for me. For example: -the one who is going to present before you now has the honor of belonging to the “body of white amsas” of his planet located in the sector “Maj-ok 2”. It has not entered the “intraluminic element” yet, but its "urewas" are still to be classified. Here he is. Page 229 of 277 There appeared something like a walking lettuce. He appeared, greeted nicely, concentrated and then went away. Later there came another, who did more or less the same, that is to say nothing at all. And this way the strangest, and frightening beings were appearing in some cases, of the galaxy. They were walking or crawling or were swaying or even flying sometimes. They were smiling (those who had mouths as ours), were showing their rare outfits, they were concentrating, doing some movements in front of the public and then they were moving back. I did not understand anything, but the public did, and sometimes I was exclaiming something like “ohhhh" when the beings of the stage were concentrating. I was feeling something very nice sometimes, but, finally, Vinka and I were looking without understanding. -What are they trying to do, Ami? -it is something similar to a beauty contest, but with two big differences. In the first place, here one does not compete, nobody wins or loses. Each one shows himself and tries to please the public, and this is its only award. Secondly, it is not the external beauty what they exhibit. -No? -Of course not. As the variety of external forms is so much, for us it doe snot make sense to say “this person is nicer or uglier than this the other”. In fact, we do not pay too much attention to the exterior of the persons. What in one side is "nice", in another side it is "ugly", that is very transitory and very relative; that's why, we go directly to the interior. The real beauty is something of inside, and that is exactly what the participants show: their internal beauty. -ah … now I understand better. But how can the public see the interior beauty of the participants? Page 230 of 277 -No, it is not possible to "see". The internal beauty is not within reach of the eyes. -And how do they catch it then? -with the superior senses of the soul, Pedro. -ah … Certainly, these people are much evolved. I am not, I can only guide myself with my eyes, I do not have these superior senses of the soul … -and neither do I… - Vinka said, a little sad. -It is not so like that, children. The truth is that you do have these senses, but you do not usually pay attention to them because it is something very subtle, and you are accustomed to be fixed only in the strident thing … But make the effort to feel what these friendly people are trying to show subtly. Pay attention. A very thin being appeared, of the blackest skin and smooth hair that were throwing blue light, due to such an intense blackness. The specimen was looking like one of those sticks with tangles to clean the apartment, but stopped the other way round … I could not know if it was a man or woman. -she is a neither man nor woman – Ami said, stunning us, but he, again he was laughing-. Do not believe that the whole intelligent life of the Universe works on the base of two sexes, like you or like me … -Nooo? -of course not. This is only one of the forms, but there are many other, just as it happens with other animals and vegetable species in your own worlds. Finally, this soul sister that you see there generates herself and reproduces herself.… No … there is so much variety that it is not worth while explaining one to them between all the possible reproduction methods that exist in the Universe. Page 231 of 277 But Vinka and I were too curious and we wanted to know at least how this being was reproducing in particular. -It is well. This being reproduces by means of … eggs. -What?! Ah, no! Ha, ha, ha! THIS TYPE PUTS EGGS, VINKA!… -Shhh. See? You are scandalized by everything. Know that this being would be FRIGHTENED to see the bloody and painful form in which the babies are born in your worlds … I thought a little and thought that Ami was right. -Everything is relative, boys. Lets ,pay attention to what this soul is trying to send us. The thin guy … or girl … The thin being was concentrating in the middle of stage. I closed my eyes and tried to feel … but I did not feel anything. I believe that it was because of my mind which still much impressed by what I had listened earlier, and Vinka was just as I, but the public seemed fascinated. Ami understood what was happening to us. -I must not have mentioned the matter. It is known that in worlds like yours, sexuality is usually considered to be a “highly frightening topic … But they pretend the fright with bad taste jokes. Well, we have to return to Kía. Let us go, boys, we do not have a lot of time ahead. Once in the ship towards the direction of Kía, Ami said: -You will realize that the intention of this trip was to show you a civilization in the interior of a planet, so that you see in direct form that to a higher evolution, the external is of least importance. -Ah …: Yes? Certainly, Ami, of course … -To see if you are diminished a little by this “optical racism” from which you suffer. Ha, ha, ha. And so that you begin to pay attention to what the persons Page 232 of 277 radiate, instead of to be fixed only in what they look like or in what they say. And also so that you are fixed a little more in your own interior. The real thing, the important thing of the beings is inside. That's why, the evolved persons look more at the interior and less at the exterior. And when the evolution is less it looks more outwards, the transitory thing, in all kinds of matters … -Certainly, but we lack muuuuch evolution … - Vinka said. Ami was laughing. -You lack attention, only that, and a bit of practice. Kía was already opposite to us, occupying the whole space behind the crystal glass. -There you have your uncle and aunt, enjoying an evening of the sun in the mountains. In a monitor Clorka and Goro were appearing walking embraced along the rim of one lagoon, contemplating enraptured by the scenery, followed closely by Trask, who was balancing contently with his long neck, while several garabolos were fluttering over there. Very quickly we come near them and Vinka ran to embrace them. -How did you sleep, uncle and aunt? -Very well, very well. With the beauty of this place, we almost forgot that the PP is behind us, that we have lost everything and that we do not have where to go … Ami, making a tone between optimistic and mysterious, asked them: -And wont you like to stay here?... Page 233 of 277 The Kía couple were shaken and devoured Ami with their looks. -What … what do you mean?... Is that possible?... -Sure. This hut will remain uninhabited for ever, because its inhabitant, Krato, has decided to remain to live forever in the planet of this child, and he will never return here. -He is now my grandma’s boyfriend Ha,ha,ha! – I was still feeling somewhat ridiculous about their "spring" romance … The uncle and aunt of Vinka began to cheer up visibly. -The truth is that yesterday evening and the whole morning we were thinking about that, about living here and things like that. We both like very much the solitude, that's why we almost do not have any friends. We were considering the idea of devoting ourselves to agriculture, of doing a garden as the one that Krato has here, to construct a hut, and … -You are already a little mature for thinking this way. Here you have a hut ready to be inhabited and decorated by Clorka, and that garden does not belong anymore to Krato. Also, he has left the whole machinery for making the fermented juice of muflos, you might sell it, just as the products of the garden, to the most nearby people, which is approximately four hours ahead . Over there there is a wagon, and Trask is very strong, and he also from now on belongs to you - Ami was explaining. They were looking at it more and more ardently, especially Clorka. -I, all my life I have dreamed of living in the field, far from the noise of the city, and Goro also, and now this secret desire becomes true for us …: This feels like a dream! -I also from child was dreaming of living in nature, also I wanted to study agronomy to go away to live in some forest, but my father, who was very Page 234 of 277 authoritarian, he wanted that I was employed soon at the same drugstore to which he had dedicated all his life, and he did not finance my studies . But the truth is that I always hated this drugstore and that city … Yes, if it was possible, I would remain pleased in these beautiful mountains and in these wonderful sceneries. -Good then. It is all ready. This is your land and your house – Ami said happily. On having listened to that, Goro began to smile for the first time in its life. It made him look shining. He was observing all sides without being able to believe that all that beauty that was surrounding him was going to be his daily panorama. He looked at a beautiful valley there below, with infinite tones of green, he smiled again, a few tears fell down his cheeks with happy emotion and … In these moments the fact was that he felt bad, he became pale and we had to help him to inside the hut and make him lie down on the mattress. -I do not know what is happening to me … I got excited very much, felt sickness and … -It’s ok – Ami joked - as you are not used to the positive emotions, you fell ill. Ha,ha,ha. In that moment there happened something that seemed frightful to me: the hair of the face and of the head of Goro began to fall down … -You are transform into a swama, uncle Goro, you are transforming yourself! – Vinka was shouting, with an immense happiness. Ami and Clorka also became very satisfied, but I did not know what disaster might happen there … if something else was happening. -It is not a disaster, Pedro. This is rather something wonderful. In two or three more days, our friend Goro will fully transform into a pleasant and an inoffensive swama. He evolved fast thanks to all the emotional blows that he endured in this one short time. Also he was disappointed of some falsities in Page 235 of 277 which he believed, and this way it created a space in him for more real values. But the last blow was positive, the fact that he now has these beautiful places and a new life at his disposal, which verifies that the Love and the happiness can make evolution much more rapid than suffering … -and now you are going to be finally a human being, uncle – Vinka said laughing. But the terri was terri and he wanted still to defend his race before the offense made by Vinka. He was going to say something, but he could not because several enormous free teeth were dancing inside of his mouth … In the end, he set to laugh at himself on seeing his teeth on the palm of its hand. Ami was very ardent. -the PP looks for a couple terri-swama, so there is already no danger any more for them. Nobody is going to suspect in a swama couple. Does not it seem fabulous to you? Until the fingerprints change with the transformation. And yours will also change, Clorka, and then our friends of the Registry office of this country will obtain a new identity piece for you both. I will deal with the rest. -but we speak very bad kairoso, the language from here … -well, then I will obtain documents of resident foreigners legally. Do not worry for anything, leave it to me. And also I will obtain books so that you learn kairoso. Goro was more fortified now, was smiling satisfied. Little by little he was transforming into a good-natured swama, and he allowed it without putting up resistance of any type. -for the time being, you will only have to rest, Goro, you already know that these transformations are inoffensive and that does not hurt at all, but you are going to be weak a couple of days, that's why you will have to be in bed. Page 236 of 277 The future ex-terri tried to say something, but the air was escaping from his mouth with less and less teeth and he could not do it, and again he started laughing. -Do not worry, Goro. This night or morning you will have new teeth, but little ones, yes… -human teeth – Vinka insisted, to bother again her, but now, Goro threw a toothless laughter that was chorused by all of us. -we are going to be very happy here – Clorka said full of new emotions. My soul mate made the most of the opportunity to return to the central topic of our worries: -yes, uncle and aunt, you are going to be very happy here, but you should understand that this is not the place adapted for a youngster who must finish her studies. No?... Vinka had just put the cards on the table. The most important matter of my life would begin to be played there: the possibility that Goro was authorizing Vinka to go away to my planet. I prepared myself for long and tense and loose pulls and, but Goro was of very good humor now and he said something that not in the most optimistic of my dreams could I imagine: -Hu all light, Vinka. Youl futule and youl haffiness ale not in Kía. I wash a lock head for causing sho many obstacles for you and fol having dishtlusted Ami sho much Ami and thish good child that ish youl soul mate. I could not believe to what I was listening. -Then, uncle? – Vinka said with the soul in a thread. -Shule you aal authorized to go away to live to the Earth. Page 237 of 277 -Great!!! – exclaimed all, including Clorka. Vinka came towards me euphoric from happiness, with tears in the eyes. We embraced each other for a long time. Now, nothing was going to intervene between our Love. The happiness was waiting for us in a radiant future full of light. Butterflies, garabolos and other insects began to flutter cheerfully around the hut. Ami was congratulating Vinka’s uncle: -Very well, Goro, very well, and you will not lose your darling niece, because whenever it is possible for me I will bring her to you so that you are together for a couple of days. -Dhank You, Ami, Mush thank you … sniff … I remembered that he had said that was it not allowed for him to take the lovers for a celestial walk by the Cosmos, but only to give help for things that have to do with the Plan. He perceived what I was thinking. -This girl has to write a new book reporting her last adventures, and must be edited here in Kía and corrected by Clorka. Vinka will write it on the Earth, but when it is finished it is necessary to make sure that someone brings the text. The authorities of Universe will not prevent me from doing this transfer, because this is a planetary work, not particular. Is it not? -Certainly, Ami. -But Vinka and Pedro will be able to make use of the trip, going and return. -Great!!! – we exclaimed again very happy. Later, Clorka asked how the manuscript was going to come to the publishing house. Page 238 of 277 -I will take care of that, Clorka – Ami said. -but the PP … -not at all. They cannot catch you. The book is a different matter. I will send the text over Intertoko together with … -Intertoko? – I asked. -the equivalent of Internet in this world … together with a message of you authorizing the edition. There you will explain that you are far for the time being, Clorka. And when the PP sees that it appeared as new book they will go to the publishing house to quarrel, and there they will say to them that they got the manuscript from Intertoko and that they do not know anything more, and the issue will be closed, and like that, Vinka will be able to complete her that brought her to incarnate in this world. And everything else happened very rapidly. Ami changed the fingerprints of Clorka, taking her for ew minutes to the ship. She wanted him to curl her hair a little… but he only laughed. Then he asked the uncle and aunt of Vinka to prepare a list for him with things that they were going to need to settle in their new hearth. He explained that he would bring them the things after leaving us on the Earth They said that they would not anything, because their intention was to live a life as simple as possible. Ami congratulated them for that. Later, we begin to help to condition that housing, thing thats we did tenderly and with happiness. We cleaned, eliminate the chumi-chumi, a few insects similar to the moths, and we took out a large number of old utensils. Over there, Clorka found the famous Krato parchment. Vinka wanted to take it for memory, but Goro was listening from a distance and he opposed: -no, no. This parchment is wonderful. Leave it here, where it was written. I will make a frame for it will put it in the place of honor of this house. Page 239 of 277 We all agreed. Clorka wanted to burn the garbage, but Ami said that it was not good to pollute the ambience. He went to the ship and from there threw a beam that dematerialized the heap of old utensils. Nothing remained, nor even a trace. Then I understood that, although Ami was saying that they they had no weapons, yes he had them … -but we do not aim them towards people– he clarified on having found out of my thoughts. Later, Ami said that it was time to set off, because on the following day, he would have to go very far to realize another mission. Vinka and her uncle and aunt had a very emotive, but not sad farewell. The truth is that my new uncle and aunt were too satisfied and happy with their change of life; that removed the drama from the farewell. But I got excited, because Goro was already not the old Goro, but a kindly and pacified swama, who was smiling and was patting my clapping occasionally, and I could not avoid to begin to feel fondness for him. -And if this girl does not relax and finishes her book fast, we will be back here soon. -I am starting it tomorrow! – she exclaimed.
