the food blessing

I am wandering through Endcliffe park, and get caught up with ninjas from a school, where they are being taught by this Ninja Master.

I get taken in, I have no choice, and I have to learn the skill of Ninja to survive.

I meet the ninja master who takes me on as another pupil in his school.

We have to learn skills like floating in the air and breaking down walls with single punches.

The Master Ninja is also a dark sorcerer, and all the ninja pupils need to get away, but we can get away that simply. He has too much power and knows how to keep us there. But if we don't learn a way to get away we will all get taken under his power and loose our individuality. So, as difficult as it is, we must get away.

Jon, Rosa's friend, is one of the trainees in the ninja school. He has special powers and helps me to plan my escape from the Ninja school. Also, John the allotmenter in Brighton, who is the gardener for the Ninja school, also helps me make a plan. I chat with them and they know what to do...


Somehow or other we have escaped, but the Ninja Master has found out and is on the chase.....


We are running to get a train journey, and there are moving platforms which we have to hop between. We have to run so as to not miss our train, and we nearly get the wrong one; we aren't going back to Sheffield, we need the Cardiff one! We just get there in time, despite the elevators nearly crushing us.

Once on the train, we are all under disguises. We mustn't let anyone know who we are - escapees from the evil tyrant. If even the slightest rumor gets out, we will be tracked down and found out! A train ticket inspector looks at my ticket and gets suspicious. He wants to see our bags, and I say we left them at the other end of the train. Owen and I run to the back end of the train and in the process I loose my shoes, and I want to go back to get them but its too late; now we have changed to a different train, and we are safe again.

On this train is a big restaurant and they are making dishes which represent there past. As well as giving the dish a symbol of ones past, they are also making the dish represent ones pain. The dish is a healing remedy to over come ones pain and ones past.

My friend Andy Forbes is one of the cooks. He is waiting for me at the back of the kitchen of the restaurant to finish of this very special dish. He has been filling it with power and creativity but I need to come along to complete the ritual. I turn up and very rapidly deep fry some sugared candy and throw it on. It makes these swirly patterns that solidify very quickly, and now the spell is complete, and our prayers have been externalised. It is ready for its journey into our body to heal our pain, and past.
