Chang Er Ling and the call of the Blue Moon

A Family Secret

On returning to Keita Island, it was dawn. The survivors got off the boat and told them about it.Samira's husband and children didn't want to, and they decided to confirm if it was true.

Where's my wife? She's gone?― Choi asked furiously and imagined torturing those who did something bad to her.

Samira's children also searched the entire island, unfortunately they didn't find her.

It's official! We need to do something about it― the oldest son, Philip said

I suggest we go look for her again only out there.― the second son, John Henry commented.

If we're going to look for her, we need to be prepared.If anyone captured her, we must rescue her, but not peaceful.We will burn everything until they deliver it! ― declared Philip to their followers

Claudia left Samira in the rest room where her patients stayed for a few days to recover from the damage.― You will stay here for a while until you fully recover and you can return to your island.Now get some rest and we'll call you to the ceremony if you're willing to participate to get to know the island better.— Cláudia advised.

Ceremony?― Samira asked curiously. 

The fall ceremony where leaders are renamed to continue in their office or replaced by others.― Cláudia explained.

Thinking about the opportunity and benefits that Samira would have if he ruled two islands, he decided to attend the ceremony to understand how the administration in Khaiti worked.

In the leaders' hut, Caesar and Salene wore the tunics of the ancestors made specifically for special events such as the autumn ceremony.

How am I?― Salene asked for an opinion of her husband.

It's perfect!You were born to spread beauty.― Caesar said with a smile.

At the site of the ceremony were the Khaitians preparing every detail of the party.The floor was covered with stones and leaves representing autumn, the seats were carpets of kalima flowers and the tables were full of fruit and delicious food for the final banquet. The players started the opening song and all prepared to stay in their seats as they waited for the current leaders.

The leaders entered the ceremony, dressed in the tunics of the ancestors and enchanted everyone with the different appearance of those they were accustomed to see. Arriving at the altar where Salene and Caesar would be tested, the two bowed to the priest Leandro.

Once again we are gathered to celebrate the rite of passage where our leaders will prove their courage and intelligence and show that they are still ready to lead Khaiti.The first test will be to identify the different object in front of you.Choose the object that is different from the others and clarify the reason.― Leandro enunciated.

In front of them were ten different objects in appearance, however, equal as utilities.At first it was difficult to identify the difference between them because of the appearance, but slowly the two analyzed the differences and similarities between them.

Salene chose a seed rattle that for her was different because it did not have the same function as the others. Caesar chose a feather necklace that for him was different because the object was shown to be the lightest of all. They handed over the objects to the priest and explained why they were different from the other ones.

After all the analysis, the priest initiated a new test for the two individually.In the new test, each one should assemble a tool with the same characteristics as the original ignoring only materials that could be different or equal.
