MORPHING ASHES INTO A PHOENIX. Chapter #11.
CHAPTER 11: LOST
The council was going to announce its decision soon. Ada's thoughts were to be kept in mind as well as the reputation of the natives. It was probable that Ada had to stay but with equal powers like the other leaders.
It was not yet decided when another issue made the news. Children had gone disappearing, especially in the west sectors.
Being not as much developed as the rest, unrest laid around here. Adana went there for a few days for inspection. Sadly, she found nothing.
Regina felt more and more worried as the children had begun disappearing a lot. But where to? Fear had followed that some wild animal had found a blind spot at the end of the stream. Rumours spread around as some calling it a leopard while others recalled seeing a mythical monster. Many investigations were sent into the jungle but found nothing. The hounds too circled around the stream helplessly.
The decision of the council arrived. It was as supposed by Ada. She was still a main member and that some traditions had to stay alive as a part of securing of the traditions.
She would have a team of four new members that would have to have her sign in all of the official duties they were ever going to accomplish. Hence, all work went under Ada's eyes before approval.
The council had begun doing its work. They were a group of competitive people who strived hard for the progress of the Naraba village.
One such man was an outsider, Shiekh Otieno. He was a remarkable man. He would usually move among the communities, easily wearing shirt and pants like an ordinary person. "I find it easier to run around in these", he would say, as he would go visit an elderly couple in the area.
"It's a social visit", he would say. "They feel very happy when I go meet them". With a huge bag of foodstuff with him, he would say, "Just some gifts one should always take with him when visiting people".
He was very kind and made sure all neighbours of the West were well looked after and no one went hungry.
Sadly, he too had issues and had never spoken about them. He had a close friend from among the natives, Omar. Omar was always by his side whenever he was out looking for people who needed assistance. Always jovial, smiling and a joke on his lips, Omar too was a humble person. They both used to teach other all the time.
