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.

Ishtar is up early in the morning. It is four o'clock. Best to be riding before the sun is up too high as the weather will be hotter as the day progresses. She dresses quickly and tidies the room. Now she is ready to go. Downstairs Neeta and Moara are waiting for Ishtar. They are to have breakfast together befor their trip to Kimbala. Nadia brings them their food and coffee. Then Nadia lets Tartufe outside for his morning adventures. Ishtar tells Nadia to make sure the kitten comes back inside before the weather gets warmer. Nadia tells Ishtar not to worry she will make sure the kitten is alright.

Ishtar, Neeta and Moara talk about the trip. They explain that Criossa has a good reputation for taking care of the children. After their breakfast the women take their dishes to the kitchen and Ishtar wipes the dining room table.

It is time to go and the three women go outside and down the stone steps to the waiting carriage. They brought some fruit with them and three bottles of water for the journey. Oh Ishtar also brought a bottle of water for Cassem. Cassem likes his job and he likes working for Ahmed.

The journey begins. The stars are still out in the morning sky and the crescent moon is shining above. After about one and one half hours, the wagon reaches the city of Kimbala. Kimbala is the capital of Oman and this is the Province of Balara. Since it is still early in the morning the streets are deserted as they travel along through the city. The orphanage is located in the north side of the city. Actually it is located in the outskirts of the city but one of the Mosques is near. This is so the Mosque is visible to the children at the Orphanage.

Finally they stop and Cassem helps the women out of the carriage. Since children are up early and Ishtar made sure that Criossa was aware she was making the journey to the Orphange, they are expected. Ishtar, Neeta and Moara enter inside of the orphanage. Criossa greets them and the four of them have a meeting in her office. Criossa is married but her husband is away on business in Kruata. He will probably see Ahmed when he makes his journey to Kruata by the end of the week. Criossa has three children of her own. Her house is located in Kimbala and it is not far from the orphanage. Criossa's children stay with one of her friends while she is working. Of course the children go to school. The family misses the father.

Criossa greets Ishtar and congratulates her on the upcoming wedding to Ahmed. The women talk a few minutes about their families and then the conversation turns to the children of the orphanage. Sometimes children also are wakened from the sleep of death by an Angel and they are transported to Xanthia through one of the portholes. The children are usually afraid but some of the older ones are curious. The children are brought to one of the orphanages where Criossa or one of the other mistresses who care for the children are. This means, Constantine or Addas. At the orphanages the children study Islam. There are teachers there. But for the regular school, the children walk to the local school where the other children of Kimbala, Constantine or Addas go to school.

The children are given an explanation about what happened to them. They discuss Xanthia. The Watanis, also Kruata. It is explained that the Africans are on Kruata and they also have orphans with them but their orphans stay with the tribe.

The orphanage is very cherry and bright. Xanthia is a rich planet and the children are well taken care of. Criossa treats the childredn like she is their mother and so do the mitresses of the other schools. Since Xanthia is considered Paradise you must understand that it is Paradise for the children that come here too. They play games, have some play things. They are read stories and sometimes they have trips to places in the city. All of the workers at the orphanages treat the children with kindness and respect. It is Criossa who sets things up for the children. Now it is time for Ishtar to meet some of the children. Neeta, Moara and Ishtar follow Croissa to their rooms. They have had breakfast and are getting ready for school. The children also have outside friends. The younger children stay at the orphanage and study with teachers there. Sometimes a family will ask if they can take on of the children to live with them. Usually these are farm families.

Ishtar has decided to stay in Kimbala overnight. She wants to take all of the children to the theatre tonight to see a show. Even the young children. Ishtar wants them to be dressed nicely for this adventure. Criossa and the other workers are also invited to see the play.

Ishtar, Neeta and Moara have been spending the morning with Criossa at the Orphanage in Kimbala. The children like to have visiotrs. Ishtar explains that she also has been transported to Xanthia after being waken from the sleep of death. She prayed to come to Xanthia a long time ago and be with a Great Warrior she called Ahmed. This way Xanthia would be a safe place to be. The children wanted to know about their families on Earth. Ishtar explained to them that when the time comes for them to be transported to Xanthia they will be able to pass through one of the portholes or cross the River Styx. Ishtar went on to explain that is how she got to make her way to Xanthia. She tries to explain to the children that their parents miss them and that they should pray for their parents on Earth. She goes on to tell them that their parents will not forget them and they hope to see them again one day. We will try to help you here as much as we can.

The time spent visiting was spent with the younger children and Ishtar is well aware that they need attention. Criossa explains that she is very particular about who works at the Orphanages. She is well aware that the children need affection. This will make things better for the children.

After spending the morning with the younger children, Ishtar, Neeta and Moara decide to find Dehis's clothing shope. Dehia deals in clothing for weddings or special occasions. Ishtar is looking forward to visiting her shope. The women board the carriage with the help of Cassem who has been listening to the conversations at the Orphanage. They will be visiting the other two Orphanages the next day. Criossa will be making the trip with Ishtar and the other women. For now though they are visiting Dehia's Shope which is located in the heart of Kimbala. It takes awhile to travel to Dehia's Shope so they decide to stop at a cafe for some food. It is now already two thirty. They have just enough time to choose their clothing for the wedding and get a room at the City Hotel.

After having their food they travel a few blocks over to where Dehia's Shope is located. The three women enter the shope and are greeted by Dehia herself. Ishtar explains about the wedding and asks for advice about what she should wear. She tells Dehia that the clothing must be traditional Arabic. Ishtar decides on the color gold for here clothing. Dehia explains to Ishtar that she can have the clothing ready in two weeks time. Ishtar tells Dehia that will be fine. Ahmed will be happy about the choice Ishtar has made. While she is there Ishtar purchases a simple but dressy clothing for wearing to the play that night. She also tells Neeta and Moara to choose something to wear to the play that night. Ishtar has heard that Adonis is the main actor in the show and he is very eloquent and an exceptioanl actor. Adonis the Magnificent. Ishtar wishes that Ahmed could see the show with her. It is supposed to be very good.

Now it is time for the women to check into the City Hotel which is right in the heart of the capital, Kimbala.
Neeta and Moara share a room and Ishtar has her own room. Cassem wil stay at the nearby training camp and return early in the morning. That is after the show. The time is now six o'clock and the show starts at eight o'clock. Ishtar decides to take a quick shower and dress immediately so that she will be ready. The children will be walking to the theatre with Criossa and two of the other teachers. The tickets have been bought ahead of time for the show. Ishtar gave Criossa the money to buy the tickets ahead of time. Criossa's children will be going to see the show too.

Ishtar is just finishing getting ready for the show when Neeta and Moara knock on the door. Ishtar tells the women to enter. The women all look very nice for the theatre. All three of them are excited about the show. It is a big event to see Adonis the Magnificent. There is said to be no one like him on Xanthia or Quetta. Sometimes he also goes there to preform.

Now it is time to leave for the theatre. All of the children are excited about the show as well as the walk to the theatre. There is much to see along the way. Especially the Exotic Animal Shope. They all have two special outfits of clothing for special occasions and then they have their everyday clothing for school and when they have to do some of the chores to help out and keep the Orphanage nice. There Sleeping Rooms are nice and they also have a Music Room because some of the children like to play instruments. Some of them are very good at their instruments. Then there is the Dining Room and the Play Room for the younger children. And there is also the Laundry Room.

Ishtar has called ahead to Criossa and tells her she will meet her in front of the theatre by seven thirty. Cassem has decided not to see the show. He wants to walk around town instead for awhile and he will be leaving the horse and the carriage with the black smith while they are seeing the show.

As the carriage approches the theatre, Ishtar can see all of the children waiting in line out front of the theatre. Cassem pulls over to the side of the road and gets down to help the women out of the carriage. The children are saying yeah now that they are there. The older children are also now here and they greet Ishtar. Ishtar now introduces herself to all of the older children and she tells them that if they ever have any questions they need help with she will try her best to answer them. They can always use the short wave radio to contact her even if she is not near by.

Now it is time for all of them to enter the theatre. Crioassa bought the tickets earlier in the afternoon.

(Well now there is no WitchQueen and there is no King. This makes the story a bit mor difficult for me to write. I'm trying to do the best I can with it.)
