Jumakesh - The Chronicles of Matrons - Sisterhood

Rosa said I was good. She also said it took me two hours to do everything. Mm-hmm. Looks like I’m a loser. But don’t underestimate yourself.

Anyway, I made it, isn’t that what matters? I stood in the hallway enjoying its beauty. The silvery interior emphasised that we were not somewhere in the elephant’s ass, but still on the Moon. By the way, my room was number 107, and it was on the tenth floor. I don’t know where the lift or the stairs are. I saw the lobby and headed towards it. Once in the lobby, I was of course shocked and at the same time realised what a magnificent house we were living in. A silver, huge chandelier floated overhead, right in the middle of the lobby. Just under the chandelier was a Symbol of the Moon and an inscription in a language I did not understand. Maybe it was some kind of Lunar Language, to which the rose on my hand told me that it was the Ancient Language of the Matrons, and on Planet Gaia it is called «Ariabintu»nd the inscription itself meant the following:

Wow, sounds Powerful and Inspiring. There was also a door in the lobby, very pretty and above it was a triangle, with its top pointing to the exit. At that moment I wondered where the lift or the stairs were, after all I live on the tenth floor. I had no choice. Behind me was the corridor I had come from and in front was the door. I decided to go through the door, not knowing what was waiting for me on the other side. It turned out to be much simpler than that. That door was the exit door, because when I went through it, I found myself on the street. Standing outside, I listened to Rose’s explanation of how five-dimensional technology works.

After all, looking at the apartment building, I saw only one floor. Yes, it was a one-storey building. Rose said that there were 19 floors inside this one-storey building and the flats could be located inconsistently. For example, flat number five could be on the seventeenth floor and flat 87 could be on the ground floor. The advantages of this technology were that you didn’t have to go anywhere – once you entered an apartment complex you were immediately on the floor where your flat was located, and the buildings themselves didn’t take up any airspace. There must have been a lot of use of this technology on the planet Gaia, because there are more inhabitants there than on the Moon. It’s 2011 on the planet.

Sometimes they come to the Moon to mine something here, we don’t interfere and try to stay away. Surely by mining something here, it’s something very valuable over there on the planet Gaia.

Finally, I came out of the house. Outside the house, I saw silvery spheres and decided to ask the rose on my arm what they were. Rose told me it was a means of transportation called the Silver Bubble. Looking at the Silver Bubble, I knew right away it was just what I needed to see the Trandafir in all its glory. I headed straight for the sphere, and as I walked Rose added that this mode of transport was capable of flying. Now we’ll see what you can do, Silverisha. I approached the sphere, but didn’t know what to do next. I walked around the bubble like a fool, and then Rose watching me waste my time decided to help me. It turned out I just had to say, «Silver Bubble, I want to fly.» Since the Academy was international, the language used was mostly English.

After I said the magic phrase, the glass that made up half of the sphere turned into liquid and the sphere said «Welcome»to me. After these words, I went into the Sphere. There were no seats in the Sphere, just a soft backrest to lean against. «Hi, my name is Silver Bubble, what would you like?»

«I want to see Trandafir in all its glory. «As you wish, Shira.»Wow, she called my name. «Fifty petals, please.» «What!? Oh, sorry, yes, of course, here,»I put my hand out and the device scanned my rose, minus 50 petals. «Enjoy and Relax, Shira».We started climbing up, and the back turned out to be a bed. I lay back and enjoyed the flight, and Silver Bubble gave me a tour of the city.

«Welcome to Trandafir»

The music came on, my curiosity got the better of me and I decided to ask what song was playing at the moment. To which the sphere replied «Moonlight Sonata»or in other words «Heartbeat of the Moon». To this music lasted our entire flight, and it began with residential neighborhoods. «From below you lead the residential blocks, nine houses on the left and nine on the right.»

From the top, these houses looked like Silver Pearls.

«In the middle between the nines you can see the Lunasha Station, which is where the Express is located, which can take you to MoonY Rose Academy. Up ahead, right in front of you is the «Tree of Lela».

The tree was very big, I would even say huge. The Beam emanated from the Tree that fed the Dome under which our town was located. We made one circle around the Tree and it was fascinating, because then it seemed to me that the Tree of Lela was our whole town. Silver Wonder, that’s how I would describe this tree.

«Next we fly along the lakes, there are only 3 of them, they are also called Triplet.»

Even if there was one, thank you.

«Two red domed buildings, one on the left and one on the right. One building is the Theater and Concert Hall, the other building is the Entertainment Center and the Store.»

I will be sure to go there sometime.

«Just ahead is the Building where you’ll find Cafes and Restaurants for every taste.»

«That concludes the tour, but for now, behold the Grand Final.»

We flew up very high, as we flew up I could see the stars and when the sphere turned 180° I could see how wonderful Trandafir was. Instead of the City, I saw the Face of the Beautiful Matrisha.

Our Silvery Houses were like Pearls adorning this Lady’s Hija. The station Lunasha like the Silver Brooch, in the centre of the Hija. In the centre of the forehead flaunted Lela. Two of the lakes were her eyes and the third was her nose. Two scarlet hulls on her cheeks like a baby’s blush. Restaurants and cafés were her lips.

After seeing the Beauty, I understood why Trandafir is considered the most Beautiful City on the Moon.

I heard rose’s voice and immediately woke up. «Matrisha, first day of school, don’t be late.» I quickly jumped out of bed, got dressed quickly and ran for the exit. It’s great that this house has no lift and no stairs, and the exit is right on the same floor where you live. It’s on every floor, and there are quite a few, as many as 19. I ran out into the street and immediately ran to the train station, where there was an Express called Silver Rose straight to the Best Academy. There I was, already at the Lunasha Station. And what do you think, I’m late, what a loser. On the first day of school, and to be late. At that moment I didn’t know what to do, because instead of a train, all I saw was the last carriage with a sign on the door, «Sleep less, Dopey!» I couldn’t argue with that. I remembered about the Silverisha and ran out of the station, but my rose stopped me in time to tell me that the Silver Bubble was only for inner-city travel, which meant that you could not use it to get to the Academy. Yeah, well, what am I going to do, because I might get expelled. I went back to the train station.
