The 18.23 train from Manchester arrived at platform 3 at Lime Street Station Liverpool and the people got off the train and all rushed to show there tickets to a station guard who couldn’t care if you was showing him the Turin shroud
The last two people to get off were a middle aged woman and a young girl , the woman had a glow around as if she was not of this world and if she was she should be at court of the regal rulers of another world .
“Get the bags Gali” she spoke to the girl and as if by magic there was two suitcases at the side of them , the woman picked them up and they headed towards the ticket collector .
Once passed the guard they headed towards the large glass doors and stepped into the chilled air of the city , they started down the steps and as they got lower to the street , the woman looked across her right hand shoulder and looked at the Museum and thought of the last time she had seen it
“Evening miss can you spare a couple of pence for a traveler of the road “ said a voice from the pavement , this made her jump and she reached into her purse and gave the man some copper
“Thank you miss” he said and put the money in his worn pocket of his coat .
The woman and the girl got into a taxi and they headed up Lime Street , passed the Adelphi hotel and then up towards the old Cathedral and stopped outside a small hotel .
Once inside a man came to the counter .
“Evening ladies , welcome to the Hope Street hotel , how long are you staying ?”
“For a week “said the woman
“And your name miss ?”
“Guinevere White and this is my daughter Gali “ she said .
“Guinevere that’s a name I have never had ,Guinevere as in the Arthur and the knights of the round table ? “ he said getting the key off the large key rack behind him
“It was rectangle “ said Guinn
“Sorry?.. , room 23 and I will take up your luggage “ and he picked them up and set off to the lift .
When they reached the room the man opened the door and gave Guinn the key
They went inside and in the small room were two beds and a small bathroom .
Gali sat on the edge of one of the beds and she looked at the suitcase and it opened by itself and the clothes floated across the room and the wardrobe doors opened on there own and when the clothes were inside the doors shut to .
“How long are we going to stay here mother?, we havn`t the money to stay here for a week ” asked Gali
“We will not be here to long , we are going to get the ferry to Ireland , I know someone who will put us up for a while “ replied her mother who was putting away what little she had in her suitcase .
“Why I`m I so different to other teenagers mother , I need to know why I have these powers , that have become a curse , that we have to keep moving on , so I will not be found by governments or some crazy scientist , or worse the world media “
“I am so sorry Gali , I never meant anything like this to happen “ said Guinevere as went to her daughter and hugged her and wiped a tear from her face .
“Don’t cry mother , I just really would like to know how , or why I am so different , that’s all , I can read peoples minds quite easy , but yours and Albert , I cant read at all, and I have now found out that the Astral Traveller is my father , I would like to know how you met him, I think I am old enough now to know how I was gifted with these powers mother don’t you think ?“
“Yes Gali , I think it is time you should know , you see I am also a Astral Traveller “
“You are! , awesome said Gali , does that mean I am ?“
“I don’t know the answer to that question , my dear , but I shall tell you how I met your father , have you heard of Six Degrees Of separation ?”
“Kind of, its when people say it’s a small world and , that it really is as we are all connected to each other in a way .”said Gali
“That’s right in a sense , we are all six steps from every person on the planet , as you say we are all connected , but I have been on this place called Earth, for thousands of years , I have many names , but I am the one they call Isis” .
Gali looked at her mother and then laughed .
“Mother you are telling me that you are the Isis of Ancient Egyptian Mythology?”
“Yes I am , and I been on this earth, for eternity as a punishment for , giving the Pharaohs the gift of reincarnation , which is a sacred gift of life that is used by the star travelers , so they can travel many galaxies which take eons and that each time they die of old age they can come back and get back to there home planet , and travel to places which they have colonized , and see how there star children are doing “
.
An opened mouthed Gali looked at her mother and then managed to say something
“Star Travelers? “ she said .
“Yes but they are known as Aliens on this planet “ replied Guinevere .
“So then you are an Alien ?” said Gali who now wide eyed and shaking in anticipation of the answer her mother was going to give.
“My father is Geb , who was a star traveler , and my mother is of this planet , she an Egyptian
I am one of the first intergalactic children, a star child , and I was named Isis , which means the mother of rebirth , the mother of life , and so more many names , and the people of the Nile became to think of me as a Goddess as I had powers to heal and magic, so they told stories of how I came to have these powers and put them on the walls of the temples and scrolls
Then as time passed the ways of the Star Travelers was passed on to the Pharaohs and they built the pyramids of Giza which were the same as the three stars of Orions belt , where the star travelers come from and the Egyptians wrote the book of the dead .
That was the how the Pharaohs joined the star travelers in the after life
They buried them with there treasures and embalming the bodies so they could be in the same body when they reincarnate , but for the ones who were not took to the after life , the home of he star travelers, and the space ships would come and take them home ,the ones who were not prepared for the after life they would end up being reborn on the place where they died , as in Earth , and they would be reincarnated back here and , after so many times you would soon forget who you were and become just another human going about your life and soon you would find out there is something different about you and learn the way of the book of the dead , magic and become aware that you would soon be walking the Earth again , through the centuries , these people have ridiculed , been burnt at the stake as witches , special people have been outcast , but as mankind has discovered that the people with unusual powers have a secret they carry in there DNA that they are ancestors of the star travelers when they came to visit our planet thousands of years ago .”
“Jesus mother! “ said Gali
“Yes he was one of us “ said Guinn .
“No I mean.. oh never mind , so how did they ,as in mankind discover that there were visitors from another planet ?”
“That was on that fateful day in Roswell in New Mexico when one of the star travelers space ship crashed
Then the secret was out , and this time man had proof , but it is been kept from the people of the world for fear of panic and the religions of the world would be left to explain themselves “. said Guinn .
“So they know I am a half Alien , and they need to experiment on me !” Gali cried out .
“Yes , they found out when you were in school and when they give children there inoculations , they take a sample of your blood and every children in this country , and indeed the planet is tested and it takes many years , but its only a matter of time before they find a star child.
And that my dear Gali is you .”
“My god , mother that is unbelievable , so what about my father , Albert and the six degrees of separation , and everything , I need to know everything !” said Gali
“Its time we went to sleep know Gali I will tell you the rest tomorrow .
The two travelers woke up early the next morning as the sun shone through the dusty and colour faded curtains of the small hotel in Liverpool .
Gali was up and out of bed and she looked to her mother as if she was about to ask a thousand questions but decide to get dressed and then she opened the curtains and looked across the rooftops of the city .
“Lets go and have some breakfast and then we will go and book the ferry “ said Guinn
Gali just obeyed her mother and they made there way to the dinning room at the back of the hotel , where there was only two other guests at the table at the window.
After the breakfast , Gali ran upstairs and she got two coats and met her mother in the hallway and they stepped outside and they felt the cold chill of spring air .
They headed down towards the docks of the river Mersey as for Gali it was her first time in Liverpool and she could feel the history of the place and the thing that was on her mind was the band that was associated with the city The Beatles .
“Mother , you have been hear before , havn`t you ?”
“A few times over the years “ she replied
“Can we go to the place were the Beatles played , is it the Cavern?” Gali asked
“Yes we can go that way , but the actual place where they played is not there anymore , but the street is , we can go that way .” replied Guinn .
They got to the town center and then they turned into a small narrow street and the Gali saw a shop that had in large letters The Beatles Shop she knew that this was the place and she walked up the street and she could feel a strange energy coming from the walls of the bars and buildings , this was a indeed a magical place where there seemed to be a lot of positive energy coming the small Victorian street .
They soon arrived at the docks , and there was no one about it was very quiet and the sun shone through the grey clouds onto the dark deep River Mersey.
The ticket office was still closed and the sign said “open time 10pm, Guinn looked up at the clock on the Liver building and it showed 9 .23 .
“We will wait for it to open Gali , we will go and sit on the bench over there while we wait “ said Guinn and Gali ran up to the bench and sat down patting the empty space next to her as to prompt her mother to sit down as quick as she could .
Once Guinn had sat down , Gali , without looking at her mother and still staring across the River that was like a milk pond , as the question that had been on her mind from the moment her head hit the pillow last night .
“Well mum , how did you first meet my father ?”
Guinn , gave a rye smile and the she stroked the back of Gali`s head .
“Well, as I said last night , I spent my first life in Egypt and I lived a good life , it was simple then , just living of the land and the Nile provided water for the crops and the sun god Ra gave us warmth and light .
I lived for two centuries and I soon became very tired and the people who I had grown to know and love all had died and , I became a myth , of those early times of the Egypt ,and I decided that it was time to leave this place and hope I would return to the place of my farther , and become reborn on the planet that he told me of when I was a young girl , the place of the Star Travellers a planet called Octania “.
So you are saying that you took your own life mother ! ?“ asked Gali
“Well yes I did , I was very old and my body , even though I was half Star Traveller , was ageing , so much that in the end I could no longer see well and my bones were so weak , the slightest knock and I would break a bone .
So I took a poison that would just send me to sleep and I would not wake up , and there would be no pain or suffering .”
“My god mother , and then?”
I found myself born to a cattle family in a place called Britain , in the year 2800 BC and I was not aware of my past life until I was in my teenage years and I became a healer to the village and soon became respected and I was made the leader of the whole area in which we farmed , the place known as Salisbury and we were Pagans and we worshiped the Earth and the Sun and the stars , and then one night I had a vision that we would be visited by strange flying ship from another star , and I had to build a landing site for the ship to land , so I went to the people and I told them of my vision , and we set about building a place were we could make contact with the star travellers and we sent men far and wide to bring large stones to place where we would build a stone circle known today as Stonehenge .”
“Stonehenge !” said Gali and then looked at her mother once again with mouth wide open
“Yes we built it so on the summer solstice when the sun is at a point in the sky , about 23.44 degrees to be precise its rays will shine on a stone and light the way to our map of the stars and to the star in the night sky where the star travellers come from a place in the northern constellation known as Octania , the home planet of my first father .
For several years we would go to Stonehenge every summer solstice and we would wait for the visitors to come and then at last they came , it was as the sun was about to set and it came from the sky , a metallic saucer that just shot across the sky and then with total silence landed on the top of the stone circle , making the inside of the circle pitch black and the a bright light came on from the belly of the ship and a door opened and a ramp lowered down and a tall figure walk down from the ship , and in his arms he was carrying a man .”
“My god mother what did he look like this , erm visitor ?“
“He had a gold suit on and a helmet that was a Falcon of the mask of Ra “ said Guinn
“And the man he was carrying ?”
“The man was a human and your father “ said Guinn
“You are telling me it was Albert !”
“It was indeed .
But he was called Aran then , the Star traveller put Aran on the slab in the middle of the stone circle and then he raised his hands , and a bright light shot from his finger tips and it bounced off the stones and then the whole place glowed a blue and white light and then it completly covered The stone
Aran then it disappeared into his mid rift and then the star traveller spoke in a strange language and then walked back to the ship , and within seconds the ship slowly raised itself of the top of the stone circle and with a blinking of an eye it was gone “
“Lord of the rings mother , then what ?”
“Aran groaned and he got to his feet and said these words”
“Where the bloody hell is that Kite ?”he said .
“What ! he was from the future !” Gali screamed almost falling of the bench .
“Yes, and I don’t know really as we never understood what he meant but we took him back to the village and gave him food and drink and then he fell asleep.
Next morning , the whole village was up and around the hut of Aran to find out what where and why had this man been brought to then from a space ship
Aran came out of the hut , and saw the audience he had and then he spoke .”
“Where the bleeding hell am I ?”
“Your on planet Earth “ said a voice in the crowd .
“Yes I guest that , and by the look of your clothes I`m not in England “
“Er Yes you are “ said another voice .
“Where then!”
“Salisbury “ the crowd replied
“Ah I get it , its Glastonbury and your all hippies “ said Albert with a look of a winner .
“Well anyway is there a bus due ?” said Albert expecting someone to shout out a time .
“What is the strange language he speaks ? “said a woman who turned to Guinn .
“He is a traveller of the stars , I am sure and we must show our respect and make him our honoured guest “ said Guinn , and then grabbed him by the arm and lead him back into the tent .
And he told me a tale of how he ended up and this place and time .
“Well it was like this “ said the Traveller
“Me and Kite was having an argument about how Stonehenge and why it was built and I told him it was built for The Aliens so they had a place to land and take the great leaders to there home world , I suppose it was a sacrifice , in a nice way , but he said it is a Pagan Alter where they sacrificed virgins and the odd chicken and dance around a bit and a good night was had by all on Summer Solstice , except for the virgin of course and maybe the chicken.
So we decided to go in our time machine , that’s a machine that travels in time and see if we could find out who was right , well thing is , we had a bit of an accident and we , well landed on a space ship , but we didn’t know until we opened the time machine door and we saw lots of flashing lights and a very large Alien sat reading a book , and he jumped up and he fired this , well a ray gun and he hit me and as I was going down , I saw that red headed jump in the time machine and he buggered off.
The next thing I know I wake up surrounded by a load of hippies “
“So then what happened ?“ said Gali
“Well I had to tell him that there was no buses and as for a concert ,well that was along way off , so we called the traveller Aran as his real name frightened people , and he said he would stay here and wait for the boy to come and pick him up .
Weeks went by and I became very fond of Aran and I soon learned that he to was an Astral Traveller and he knew the ways of reincarnation , and then he came to realise I was a woman he knew in his past life , which of course my future life and I would be his lover in the times of Camelot and then again as in the future when we brought you into our lives .
The six degrees of separation , we would keep meeting in our next lives we would find ourselves with the people we knew of the past and present , its just karma , we will keep going around in the circle of life , when you meet some stranger in the street and you think you have seen them before , well you probably have in another life , De Ja Vu , do you understand Gali ?”
“Are you saying that the people we know now , in this life , we have known in other lives but just don’t know it” said Gali looking as if she had found the meaning of life , but didn’t want to start thinking to deep and lose track of the story her mother was telling her.
“That is right child , and we soon became man and wife as the weeks turn into months and then years as Aran soon forgot all about his future life and we had a poem in which we read to each other almost every night , and that in our next lives one of us may remember it and we would know who we were in our past lives “
“What was the poem mother , do you remember it ?” said Gali
“Of course I do , and she said the poem
The lady said that they say that love won't last forever
But as far as friendship goes, I think I know better
Sure, the sun gets bored of warming us
The flowers staying in the vase
The wind blowing here and there
The man in the picture keeping his stare
But what I have described is just a fulfilment of things
When it comes to friendship be careful of what you think
Friendship, like love, comes from the heart
Even to those people who are a distance apart
Through interest, sharing, love and caring
Our bond of friendship grow
I'll be forever grateful for your friendship
And I'll be your friend forever more.
“That is very beautiful “ said Gali and wiped a tear from her eye .
“It is indeed , and we lived together for many years until one day there was a storm and there was great black cloud covered the whole village and then a strange ship landed at Stonehenge and we went up to see what it was and it was Kite in the time machine , he had finally found Aran and he told us that he had to take Aran back to the future as if he didn’t it would cause a butterfly effect on the future of our lives and in the future , the future of you my dear Gali as there is more to happen in your life with your father and me , it broke my heart that he had to go , but I knew that one day we would meet again and we knew we would have a beautiful daughter , who would be very important outcome to the human race . “ Guinn then held the hand of her daughter and then kissed it .
There was a clink of a lock turning and from inside the ticket office a man turned a card over that said Open and with that Guinn and Gali got up and walked across to the shop .
The next day Guinn and Gali packed there suitcases and they made there way to the dock and got on a ferry that was leaving for Ireland , they both climbed to the top deck of the ferry and looked across to the city of Liverpool disappear into the distance and so the two of them were now on there way to another place to hide from the people who were after this special girl who could change the world , but that is another story .
