Connection

First Light or The Blue Light: The Father and Mother of Neplar were Ancer and Zoe. Tanawani genealogy recorded the Father and Mother of the tribe as the great chief Tanawani meaning ‘The Answer,” and Zowini, whose tribal common name would be Zowi. Life on Neplar came from the ground and air, The dirt made them natural an instinct of nature. The breath made them spiritual, enlightened, an image of God. Tanawani folklore similarly stated life came from the ash of the volcano and from the spirit of the wind.

Second Light or The Black Light: The Mark on the Wrist. Nigel, of Neplar, had the crescent mark on his wrist. The Tanawani people had a distinct birthmark on their wrist. Marafu, Robby’s dad, told him, We are not branded people. We are people sealed by a mark given at birth by the master of the universe. Robby was amazed remembering that at times, his dad referred to The Master of the Universe. On Neplar, it is said The Master of the Universe created ‘all that we see and all that we do not see.’

Third Light or The White Light: The Burning Sword. On Neplar, the Burning Sword was part of a vision seen by the revealer, ZXR. The sword was held by the son of the Master of the Universe. The sword represented a father and son being connected. It also represented light, which held power over evil. Robby felt the Wesepi Tanawani, which was the island sword made from volcano ash and held by his dad as tribal chieftain, was his connection to his father. Now that he had it back in his possession, the sword would carry the light to overcome the darkness of Tom McClure. He felt McClure carried of evil of Nigel. The Tanawani’s birthmark did not represent the darkness of Nigel. Their birthmark was shaped like a sword and represented the power and light of The Master of the Universe.

Fourth Light or The Red Light: The Neplarians came to earth. Robby now thought of the possibility of the Neplarian and Tanawani ancestry being connected. Robby said after reading Plate Four, “Speak to me, dad. The words on this plates are like eating the Nakuru (a feast given when a Tanawani boy is considered a man). There is something within these words that fill me. Satisfy me.”

Fifth Light or The Yellow Light: Wroth, a commander on Neplar, as he was dying, saw millions of doves in the air. As a boy, Robby heard the story of the Mavotor, a mythical bird who protects the island. As the story goes, when the first chieftain was dying, he saw a million Movotar’s lifting up into the sky to protect the island until a new chieftain was named. To this day, the Tanawani word for star is Mavotor.

Sixth Light or The Lavender Light: Robby researched Tanawani ancestry and discovered there were two people still living on the island who had no official birthdate, the only ones unaccounted for. They were Luworka, a long time member of the board of directors at RIM and Kanah, known as the ancient one, the ruler of justice in the inner jungle. The sixth plate of Neplar mentions an Argent Queen, known as Luna, who was an artificial intelligent robot. The people at RIM call Luworka, Luka. In the Tanawani language, the K’s and N’s are interchangeable, meaning Luka would also be known as Luna. And Kanah, was often referred to as Nah, who is mentioned in Plate seven. Robby wondered if the ageless ones, Luka and Nah, were robots from Neplar.

Seventh Light or the Dimming Light or The Last Light: Neplarian Solonaut Tobeus came back to earth and fathered a child with an Indian woman. Tanawani folklore states the original Tanawan people were in slavery in an area of North America. Was this birth between Tobeus and the Indian woman the beginning of the Tanawani tribe? Robby wondered.
