The wind was blowing fiercely and I could hear the
ocean and the sea crashing into each other. The sound
was deafening.
I managed to work my way to the edge of the cliff. I
couldn’t see much in the darkness, but the drop off was
steep and I could hear the turbulent waters echoing
from below.
I sat near the edge for a few minutes; then, rolled
my sweater into a pillow, lay down, closed my eyes,
and waited for sunrise, all the while trying to silence my
mind. I suddenly felt someone coming towards me.
“Oh no,” I thought, “Am I in trouble?” Opening
my eyes I saw a male figure approaching.
I was about to take flight when a kindly voice said,
“My name is Pineaha, I am a guardian of this land just
like my ancestors before me. Your Nana Grace sent me
a telepathic message to keep a watch out for you.”
“A what, a telepathic message? What is going on?
Who is she? Who is he? How does she know I am here?
Am I never going to escape Miss Grace?”
But, I was also quite glad that he was there to watch
over me. As he came closer I saw a kindly and yet
stately older man with an almost impish twinkle in his
eye. Not very tall, but his presence was one that would
fill a room.
