Aarnav had just introduced his daughter, Aarti, to the group. He had informed them that she had cooked their breakfast today.
Everyone, met Aarti, Aarnav's daughter and complimented her on her excellent cooking.
Aarti was of Sherpa's age and a beautiful lady, Sherpa saw her and could not stop staring at her. He got zapped.
Till date he had not met any woman who could hold his attention. Aarti was not only beautiful but was an excellent cook. He could cook but Aarti was an extremely good cook. It reminded him of his childhood and his mother's cooking.
Aarti was also in a similar state in mind and heart. She had been informed by her father about these guests from Earth who had traveled via Utopia. She was happy to cook for them. This was the first time she was meeting the Earthlings. They were just like the people of the Magical World. After all they were the source from where the Magical World traced their ancestors.
Aarnav was amused at the situation. He had already guessed and did not feel offended. It was perfectly natural. If his daughter wanted to further the relationship, he would not have any objection as Sherpa was a responsible person. She would be in safe hands. Only thing that would worry him was not going to Earth often to visit his daughter and vice versa.
"What am I thinking ?" Aarnav shook his head and thought that it was indeed bad for him to do wishful thinking. He should not not want something to materalise when there was nothing.
Aarnav addressed the children,"I hope all have finished breakfast, don't go yet, the elders are coming in for a briefing and I would want you to listen too."
Pull up the chairs kept against the wall for yourself as we need to vacate the seats at the table for the Elders." Aarnav got up from his chair beside the table and headed to the wall to pull up a chair for himself. Everyone did so. As soon as the chairs had been pulled up, the door opened and the Elders walked in.
They were asked to take their seat at the table by Aarnav. ^ Elders had turned up. 3 women and 3 men. The two Elders who had gone with Nanu, Zen and the 50 Orbs came is as soon as the 6 Elders had taken their seats. They stood at the other end of the table.
"Simba and Stephan, please take your seats," said one of the 6 Elders.
Simba and Stephan pulled out their seats and sat down. The Elder who had asked them to sit down spoke," Simba and Stephan, please describe in detail to us what happened after you went through the Rock and waterfall portal?"
"Well, We walked towards the rocky area and went through a disguised rock wall. On the other side was a waterfall." Simba replied.
'But there was a ledge that went all the way behind the waterfall and we all walked on it and were glad to reach firm ground."
"Surprisingly, we saw some persons returning and we followed them to Lilly's room," Stephan added. "Apparently, as Aarnav had said, time had stopped for them."
"We meet Lilly, Mono, Luke and Zia in the lab." Simba added and he further remarked,"After a cool drink we headed back and they left us at the ledge."
"There was no need to use the jetpacks, however, we had doned on the invisible cloaks, hence no one could see us. Then there was immense light given out by the Orbs, which covere us from any lookout posts." Stephan added.
"As we came back into the Magical World through the waterfall and rock curtain, we saw Aarnav and the Children walking towards the guest house and the dorms." Samba remarked.
"Oh yes, they could only hear our voices but could get glimpses of our legs which got exposed whenever there was a gust of wind." He added.
"They told us all this and then we removed our invisible cloaks."Samba responded and added further, "There is a manufacturing defect in the cloaks which need to be removed."
" By the way, we narrated your message to Lilly and Mono indicating that they were the future rulers of Utopia," he remarked in a thoughtful mood.
"Lilly and Mono had looked surprised, I do not think they had any thoughts along those line," Stephan added.
"OK...! you all did a good job," one of the Elders remarked.
"We need to take up the matter of the children going to Titan by boarding their spaceship," responded the 2nd Elder.
"Yes of course..! " remarked a third Elder.
"I think I will talk on the subject," the third Elder, who was a lady, replied.
The rest of the Elders gave a slight nod of their heads, meaning that she could proceed.
"Sherpa, the 8 children and 50 Orbs will be going to Titan. I have not been to Titan, so I cannot explain to you how it is."
"But since you are on the Magical World and have seen the development here, you can guess that their development in so far as science and technology is concerned, is much advanced."
"As Aarnav had advised you, time here will stop for you, as soon as you leave the Magical World. It will only restart for you when you come back."
'The space ship that will carry you from the Magical World is just a transport ship. The main ship is outside the atmosphere of the Magical World. You transport ship will log into it. It is huge and practicially a full city moving in space."
"Technical details will be explained by the Crocodile Race. I understand that they have no problem taking you to their world. But remember, that you should keep close to each other not deviate in your resolve to return house along the return path that you will take. If any one of you decided not to return, it can be problamatic for that person e.g., he will no longer exist on earth but may exist as a shadow on Titan."
"Aarnav may be in a better position to respond to this thought of mine," saying this the Elder turned towards Aarnav.
I have yet to analyse that issue," Aarnav replied.
I think we should disperse now."
"Aarnav..! You need to tie up with the Crocodile race as to what time, the children and Sherpa need to reach the base for boarding the ship."
"Also send the children for rest and also to pack their things. After lunch, maybe late afternoon, the spaceship will take off."
Saying this, all the Elders got up and left the dinning room. Aarnav, Sherpa and the 8 children then got up and proceededto their dorms.
