“Once again, I wish only to speak to you, and what is his native language?” the officer said, as the other officer indicated for Isaac to follow him to the next counter. “Maybe you should look at our passports, before you start getting too heavy-handed officer,” I suggested to him. “Right, that is it not more speaking until I ask you a question, got it sonny?” the officer said to me, with his face close to mine, and I glanced over to Isaac who showed that there was fear in his eyes. “Stay ca

“Serine Highness, a message from Ambassador Durham on Earth,” the co-pilot said as he approached and handed Nathalia a note, before heading back the way he came. “A message from Lucas, informing us that Isaac has been accepted into Winchester College in England, and that he and Mason will have adjoining rooms,” my mother announced to the family, as we gathered in the executive lounge of the shuttle. Isaac was with us, and he was still a little nervous being present around royalty, but he was

“Ow, let me go, you, you…” “Would you like to continue with what you were going to say and end up expelled from the college, or will you remain silent,” the headmaster said interrupting the boy, as the lady let go of his ear and exited the room. “Well Hargraves, what do you have to say for yourself, you know you are in quite a lot of trouble,” the headmaster said to the boy who was rubbing his very sore ear. “I will apologise to Ms Elliot when I leave sir,” the boys said eventually. “Ma

“I have… chose the… name Isaac as my Earth name, mother,” Isaac said in English, “That is a nice name Isaac, now I have packed everything that you are taking with you, and it is a three day journey to Earth, leaving tomorrow, so go wash up as we have a banquet to attend,” Mrs Otterman said. As my newly appointed Protector, Isaac sat beside me at the head table, where I sat next to my uncle, with my mother seated on the other side of him, and my father and brother seated beside her, and I h

Thanks everyone for your great comments. I’m busy writing a completely new story, based in the Northern Territory of Australia. Some of the places I have been to, and others are places I wish I had visited when I was living up there... Maybe in a year or two...

I may do a book two with this story, but I’m already writing a new story.

The university having already begun using the new facilities provided by Uncle Mitch, I was home early from school one day so I sat outside the building, watching as crowds of students left the building and cross the road to the main part of the campus, at the conclusion of another lecture. “Hey Kid, what are you doing hanging around here, this is University property ya know?” one student said when he noticed me sitting on the end of a limestone block wall, “Well that is technically incorrec

“Your Serine Highness, it is an honour to meet you,” Mrs Otterman said as she curtsied, while the boys bowed. “Thank you for taking great care of my oldest son, we have been worried about his safety since he went missing,” my mother said. “It was my honour, your highness, with his memory loss, we had no idea who he was, we just presumed that he was climbing higher to find a good vantage spot to watch the parade, and it was only after, he was looking at that photo of the Star Voyager crew,

Yes, although not mentioned in the story, each state and territory has an annual synod conference, so they all gather for that.

Yes, but many more dramas and adventures ahead...

“No I don’t, actually, on Earth, there is one group of natives who have a name for people like me, and that is called Two Spirits,” I replied, and I could see that Houny was trying to work out what I meant, as I looked up to the boy’s mother, “Yes, I know what this means, it’s called Klaenk in Drol, and I think that my oldest son is the same as you. As long as you love someone, that you truly care for, it doesn’t matter who that person is,” Mrs Otterman said to me in English. “I thank you

Over the next 12 days, while Uncle Mitch was recovering in hospital, Maria and Giorgio took good care of me, and I went to work at the Guildford house, with them each day, where the Guest house was doing very well, with regular bookings for the cottage, the two units and the rooms in the main house. Giorgio has a nephew of his helping him with maintenance and the garden, while two ladies helped Maria with the cooking and all the household cleaning and washing that needs to be done, and of

With the accommodation having limited space available, Huan the younger boy would share a room with their mother, while Isnyl and I would share a room, which consists of two single beds, a table, a chair and two small bedside drawers. Since I am sharing clothes with Isnyl, there was no need my one drawer. “Here are some fresh clothes for you, and you can take the first evening wash,” Sinyl said to me, as he handed me some fresh clothes, which I gratefully accepted. I was not what I expe

With the rest of the afternoon free, I spent some time playing the piano, before heading to the pool to swim and soak up some sun, and generally just unwind, as we have a busy weekend ahead of us, starting tomorrow. The following morning at 9 am, the school bus arrived once more with the teachers, and I went to let them in through the gate. With 12 teachers plus the Headmaster and deputy Head, it was discussed where the best places are to have the staff stationed, and a roster was made up to all

When we finally arrived at Ganymede, there was a full guard of honour waiting for us, and at the end of the long row of guards stood our great Uncle, the current ruler of Sahndrol. “Your majesty, it is good to see you again,” my mother said to him, “It is good to see you too dear cousin, and my haven’t your boys grown a lot since I last saw them,” our ruler said when he turned to face us, after shaking hands with our father. I immediately bowed to his majesty and after a short delay, Sam did
