19 North was anxious to become airborne again.
Morn grabbed the container of milk from him as he began to run down the
take off ramp and they raced back to the apartment. As they landed,
North was winded. "You might have been slower than me when we were
younger," he mentioned, "but you sure got faster as time went on.
You're about the only person that comes close to beating me!"
20 They found North's father up, sitting at the kitchen table. After
North's mother took the milk Morning Star asked North's father if he
could go to The Place of The Ancestors with his family. "Of course you
may! " the General replied. "You ARE of my family, though not a
close relation. " Then the golden Angel left to prepare for the trip.
21 "How bad it is," complained North's father, "that no one would take
The Son of The Living God to The Holy Ground because his mother is a
Hashon! He is still a Son of God, and he should be respected."
22 Morn's mother was pleased. "The General Star is very good to you,"
she complimented, "and your Father appreciates his family's kindness
towards you. It was their good treatment of you that brought others to
accept you. Get ready quickly, so you will not delay their departure. I
will tell your Body Guard you will be safe enough in the General's
charge, and he will not need to accompany you. "
23 Morn returned by the time the family was done breakfast and they all
flew up to the roof to get the family flier then headed east to The
Resting Place.
24 As they flew over the Great Tomb, the boys were again amazed by its
tremendous size. It had once been a
vast wasteland, but for thousands of years their people had been
burying their dead there until there had been created an enormous
man-made mountain of tombs, one on top of another, like great steps
climbing to the sky.
25 North's father landed the flier more than a mile
