THE HISTORY OF CELESTE WEAVER OR (THE CELESTIAL WEAVER)
The following is a first and in some paragraphs a second draft effort. Please enjoy. Also when converting to html many typos occur when I type it manually from my laptop where I compose to my desktop online. However, this is a good technique to avoid computer viruses on my laptop.
Chapter One "One may have too many lives but never too many loves."
Arcane sat with Celeste. All their children had chosen one by one to terminate the life in their bodies. They had all lived 500 to 800 years respectively. Celeste was now over 1000 years old in real years and Arcane had lived even longer in his body.
Celeste looked up into Arcane's eyes and said, "Arcane, I just can't go on without the children. I think you understand this better than anyone."She looked up into his eyes for a response. It came quick. Arcane said, "I understand, My Dear. However, you must understand that I am not free to leave my body as you are. I have made commitments." Celeste smiled wryly. "I realize those commitments are more important than I and the children." Arcane frowned. "They are not more important but they are equally important to me. Even with you and the children gone I must go on for the greater good of all beings. Besides, I must live on for our 10,000+ descendants who now look to me for guidance." Celeste looked relieved. She finally said, "Yes. That is good. There is no greater leader than you that I have ever met, my World Saver. It looks to me that you will continue to be a leader and live on for everyone." Her eye looked beseachingly into his as she said, "Arcane, live on for me, too!" Arcane said, "I will, dear. It will be lonely without you, my love!" She said, "Maybe I'll come again in a new body somewhere and we can be friends again." Arcane said, "I'd like that Celeste."
Once again Celeste burned her eyes into Arcane. She said one last thing. "One may have too many lives, my dear, but never too many loves!" With that she slipped away. A tear fell from Arcane's eyes and the eyes of all the grandchildren present. He knew what she meant. She meant he would have other loves and maybe other wives before he died. Sometimes, he thought she was even more prescient than he was. He walked out of the room never to return. His grandchildren, all at least 700 years old now knew he would never return to this palatial estate in Switzerland. They wondered privately if they would ever see their revered grandfather ever again. They knew he traveled the galaxy to make things better for all beings. Many times he appeared and disapeared to them at will. To them he was not only their revered Grandfather but their Patron Saint.
However, most of all they knew they would miss most of all their loving, kind and always wise and prescient Grand mother. Many of the 10,000+ descendants of Arcane and Celeste were secret Galactic travelers and most of the rest could soul travel the universe as well. They had all been taught well by Grandfather Arcane. They definitely were an unusual and amazing family line.
Arcane's Grandchildren still visited Jonathan once a year on the California coast where he still lived. He had been regenerated many times with Galactic help and still traveled and wrote extensively. He had become more eccentric with the hundreds of years that had passed since his birth but he still liked to reminisce about the first times Arcane and Jonathan met on Earth.
For some reason the incidents in San Francisco, Tahiti and in Hawaii on Oahu and Maui at Haleakala Crater seemed to peek the interests of Arcane and Celeste's descendants the most. It must have been the unusual story of two off worlders from different planets and times finding each other 900,000 years in the past from where Arcane and Celeste were born and getting together and bringing about this amazing family of Universal travelers and explorers. I myself am amazed just recounting it today for you all to read.
