Chapter 19 Learning at the Speed of Light

Everyone was rejoicing, hugging one another, crying and laughing. Targent was bouncing up and down with so much energy it was as if he got a direct charge out of Shedavah. In fact, many of the people who had gathered were noticing so pretty dramatic effects from what they were calling the "glowburst" which, only moments earlier, Blue had released from the crystal. Many of the crowd had pushed in closer to tell Mojahdii how glad they were that he was alive. They tried desperately for an opportunity to shake Tommy's hand or even better, touch the crystal. Although it was of great value and power, Tommy held it out to each person who asked, freely and openly, Blue sensed that the crystal was now as much a part of him as his own beating heart. He did fear that someone would try to steal the crystal or try to destroy it, but not today. The people assembled here had come to pay their respects to Mojahdii. They were devoted and loyal followers who would not even consider attempting to take or damage Shedavah.

"Onjadiavaan", Blue heard a voice he thought he had heard before, pure, like song from a dream, coming from behind him. As he turned, before he could see who it was he realized who it must be. His heart soared with happiness even before he saw her because he knew that it would be Anna Marie.

"You're talking!" Blue said in a tone, not of surprise but of understanding,"I am so happy to hear your voice, absolutely beautiful and so gentle.
