Shall I Stop the Story?
I have been wondering if I should stop the story. I would really like to continue it. At this point I have to change the names of the men who are with Ahmed on the planet Quetta. I have decided to makeup the names. The men are Amman, Rashid and Karif. I do not choose to offend anyone with what I write.
Ahmed, Amman, Rashid and Karif are having a meeting with the ruler of Quetta. Ahmed tells the chief that all of the portholes must be secured and it is best if he speaks to his men. Quetta is also a nice planet and some of the times the men on Xanthia visit Quetta. Sometimes they even find someone there that they like for a wife. The women that have come to live on Xanthia are friendly and get along with the other women who already live there.
Ahmed is not the leader of Xanthia but he does have say with the Council and he also helps with the training of the men who live there and want to be part of the army of Xanthia. Amman trains with Ahmed and he also lives in one of the other buildings at the Fortress. So Ahmed and Amman are very good friends and also they are good friends with Rashid and Karif. The men have known each other for quite a while now and often travel places together on patrols or missions.
Ahmed checks on Munna to see how she is doing. He calls and speaks with the doctor. The doctor tells Ahmed that the condition of Munna has improved. Her being homesick did not help her illness. Ahmed is happy to hear this. He likes Munna but it is the Witch he has decided to marry. Different cultures have different ways of life. Where he is now he will decide his way of life. He prefers to be with a woman of the supernatural. This is a rare occurance in the Universe. Ahmed feels that Ishtar is like himself. Even Ibraham is half mortal and Ahmed does not know how strong he really is. Or for that matter Abdul either. He is young and only time will tell what he will be able to do. For now he spends his time with the other young children and the girls. Ahmed keeps the Palace where they live guarded for their safty.
Ishtar has been spending her time alone. She went to the village and bought some makeup that is made from various plants in the Rain Forest. The texture of the makeups is really nice. Some of the people are allowed to travel into the outer perimeter of the Rain Forest to collest fruits and seeds and plants for making the makeup or perfumes from the flowers. Some things are medicinal. Ishtar did this herself. She does not choose to make her own makeup or perfumes as some of the women do. Ishtar shops at the shop with soaps and items for women.
Ishtar keeps company with Tartufe and sometimes sits in the garden with him. He is playful and growing. Sometimes Malika visits Ishtar and they experiment disappearing and showing up somewhere else. Ishtar is getting very good at this. She even went to the Rain Forest and saw Chief Maboto. She explained what she was doing to him and then she disappeared to his surprise.
Tomorrow Ishtar will be going to Kimbala to the orphanage and check on the children. Neeta and Moara will accompany her and Cassem will drive them. Ishtar is looking forward to the trip.
