It is a day of feasting and rejoicing.
My little sister Leila found the last collectable, a green feather. With each collectable (12 feathers, trutle shells, seashells and tablet pieces that told the story of our beloved city,) we would increase in souls by five per collections
And with the last feather found, we have reached the grand total of 120. 
Our Tribal Chief, Yen, is now 65 years old and has been a good leader. Like so many of our Chiefs. Many who were my ancesters.
My eldest sister Risa's little girl, Rosa, is also two years old this day. So it is a great day,
But my story is not about the tribe, though it does concern them. Or my little niece Rosa, though she plays a role in this story too.
My story is about Grannie's Alchemy.
Builded some 274 years ago, its secrets have been handed from generation, to generation.
My name is SunRay, third daughter of SunRise and Sandra.
But everyone calls me Ray.
This is my story.You can comment on this story here.

It was a sad day when Taji died.
Taji had one older child, who had died from illess at age 9. Her only survinig child, Taji, was only 5 years old when her mama died.
But the tribe took very good care of the girl, collectively raising the beauitful little girl who looked just like her mama.
But, out of fear, it would be several years before anyone tried the portions again.
One day, while conducting research, 14 year old Taji was be relentlessly harassed by a noisy, squawking bird. So persistent is the bird, that it would almost seem that it is deliberately trying to disrupt research!
Taji watched the bird. Somehow she felt the bird was trying to tell her something. Her mother always told her to watch the creatures about her; they were amoung her greatest teachers.
So Taji left the bird alone. Then suddely, Yaji found that the bird had a piece of paper in his claw which was a recipe to give more energy, black orchid + tiger lily + cactus.
Taji gingerly tried the portion.
It didn't blow up!
The small tribe tried the portion and found themselves needing to excercise! The portion, which would give the tribe enegery helped to build nuscle and all gained the skills needed as builders.

So little Taji, at age 14, began the student of Ali, an older, but kinder man. He too had just lost his wife, leaving him to raise 2 year old Elf.
When Taji was 18, she begame Ali's wife and with Ali, had seven sons and one daughter, Allie, named after her father.
Taji stopped working in the Alchemy for many years, for she was a nursing mum.
But Taji was a quick study and dispite the time she had to take off to care for a baby, she continued her work in the Alchemy.
Ali was a good man.
But one day Ali did die of old age.
Taji then married Elf. And they too had seven children.
Six girls and one son, named Taj after his mother and grandmother. Like thier parents, all seven would grow up to be Master Scientists.

Taji continued to learn the skills of the Alchemy. Ali, her teacher the meaning and properties of the Cactus, Tily Lily, Black Orchid, and rose. Both their strenghts and weakness.
"The power of the Alchemy," Ali often to Taji, "in your hands is the power to do great good or great harm. Use this gift well."
Later, was Taji's idea that the properties of each herb along with each portion would be recorded.
"Lest we forget and have more accidents that killed my mother." Taji once said.
"Accidents are unavoidable, little one." Ali cautioned the girl.

So little Taji, at age 14, begame Ali's best student
Ali was an older, but kinder man. He too had just lost his wife, leaving him to raise 2 year old Elf.
When Taji was 18, she begame Ali's wife and with Ali, had seven sons and one daughter, Allie, named after her father.
Taji stopped working in the Alchemy for many years, for she was a nursing mum.
But Taji was a quick study and dispite the time she had to take off to care for a baby, she continued her work in the Alchemy.
Ali was a good man.
But one day Ali did die of old age.
Taji then married Elf. And they too had seven children.
Six girls, Diana, Deanna, Ianna, Alaina, Zaina and one son, named Taj after his mother and grandmother. Like thier parents, all seven would grow up to be Master Scientists.
Right after the birth of her last child and only son by Elf, Taji, now a Master Parnet, could fully give herself to the arts of Alchemy.
It was during this time that the fire burned out. Usually, this was something that was upsetting, for then the air would go cold and there would be great sickness.
But on this day, there was found a large diamond in the corals.
Taji wisely told the tribe to pour water onto the stone, lest anyone burn themselves.
Once cooled, Chief Ahi, the tribe's firsst Chief, picked up the Diamond and following Taji's adivse, placed the Diamond in its place in the Great Door.
The Great Door sat on top of the cliff, overlooking the whole Ciity. The Door barred the way to whatever was on the other side.
Once the Diamond fitted, there was great rejoicing.

The next day, after the first of the Three Stones were placed in the door, Chief Ahi, the first Chief of Isola died.
There was great mourning.
After a time, the Robe waited for another to don it.
First it was the children, then the adults.
Surely it would fit Elf!
No!
It was the beloved Taji who was now Chief.
And @ 59 years old and a Master Parent, she was well prepared to lead our tribe. 
A year later, while working in the Alchemy, her eldest granddaughter, Tashi watching her every move, Taji stumbled across a potion that was rather interesting.
One part Rose. One part Lotus. And one part Cactus. Taking some of the potions, Taji felt light and springy.
Hmmm, Taji thought. This gave her an idea.
There was a Ruby key upon a Cliff's edge that no one could reach. But the potion made Taji feel she could reach it.
And she did!
So, the Second of Three Stones were in their place.
Little Tashi loved hanging about what she called "Grannie's Alchemy."
Grannie would always come up with something fun.
Like two part Rose and one lotus caused everyone to dance, even Grandfather Elf who didn't like to dance.

Taji was the happiest of all women.
She not only led the tribe she loved who was made up of family and friends, but worked the Alchemy she loved.
Of all her children, it was her youngest child and only son by Elf, Taj that took the most interest in his mother's work.
"What are you working on, now, Mama." Young Taj, once asked.
Taji smiled at her little boy.
The only of her children with curly, ginger colored hair. "Where did you come from, love one?" Taji would often smile. The girls, mostly grown and the eldest girls by she and Elf were now wed. Her daughter Allie, named after her late father was also wed and had two children, Tashi and now little Hashi. Since they all loved the Science and Research, it was Taj who was interested in the Alchemy.
How he longed for the day to prepare his own potions.
But for now, Taj had to be contend gathering herbs for his Mama and learning as he watched his Mama, Papa and older sisters.
But then came that sad day that changed all their lives.

Chief Taji was 65 years old when she died.
Elf at 48 was still a young man, but loved no woman than Taji.
He devoted himself to the three youngest children still living in his hut and the Alchemy they both loved.
The next Chief was Bau, Taji's second son. He later wed Zaina.
Taj loved to work with his father. He would run and gather about the herbs and plants his Papa needed, but also made sure the doctors had the herbs they needed as well.
When Taj was 14 years old, Elf allowed Taj to assist him in the Alchemy.
Hands on is the best way to learn.
One day, Taj decicded to try the portion his Mama had been working before she died; a portion that would taime the Sharks and the villagers could fish in peace and safey.
So he swtiched one of the components: one part Rose, one part Lotus and one part Golden Berries (found just before Taji's death)
Taj's first try resulted with the portion blowing up.
His sister Deanna quickly made the health portion, three parts Cactus, saving her little brother's life.
Later, when Taj was recovered, Elf reminded him of the risk and dangers in the Alchmey and one must always work with care.
But the best teacher is our mistakes.
So, Taj tried the portion again.
And this time it worked!
Since it was Taj's portion, it was Taj who had the honour of pouring the vial into the waters.
Watching the colour portion fill the waters, the Sharks became calmer and just began circling, but never again attacked the villiagers.
There was great rejoicing that evening.
