A New Kind of Aloha

Leilani crawls out of the rubble, where she laid under a tent and particle board, she can hardly move so she rolls onto her back and all she can see are the palm trees swaying in the trade winds. Leilani looks around the area around her and notices the bird bath has water collected from the rain, so she cups her hand to gather the water. Leilani stands up a look into the street, noticing that the neighbor’s homes have been demolished by some type of storm, there are cars in the neighbor’s trees and her home is the only home standing the same, her car is there, and her fruits and veggies are still growing in the veggie patch. Leilani grabs an apple banana from the tree and decides to walk around her neighborhood to see who is around and she does not see anyone. The chicken restaurant is flattened to the ground, the pet store is damaged, there are bodies in the parking lot. Leilani checks to see if anyone has a pulse or needs medical attention and no one had a viable sign of life. Leilani starts to remember that Hawaii was supposed to have a hurricane, and this must be the destruction that is left. Leilani decides to go back home and get her car so she can look more into Mililani and then look at the rest of Oahu. She goes home to gather from the fruits and veggies from her garden and places them in a basket so she can eat but also share with others if they need food, she goes to her kitchen sink to see if she has water and she was thanking the Universe the water was still coming out. She decides to fill up water jugs to put in her car and give to other people or to give to animals. Leilani stops a few minutes and makes a crystal grid in her yard, thank the Universe and the elementals that took car of her, her home and made sure she still had food to harvest from her garden. Leilani takes the clear quartz and makes a star pattern, then rose quartz and then Smokey quartz, she knew that no matter what she may see coming next, she had to balance the energy around her home, her neighborhood and on her island because Hawai’i’s ley lines were connected to The United Kingdom and if she did not do this crystal grid it would impact more than just her island. Leilani remembers she needs to check on her cat scarlet, so she goes to all the rooms, closets, and goes upstairs to look under her bed and she hears scarlet purring and tears just roll down her face. Leilani knew she already had so much to be thankful for but for her cat to still be there she was beyond blessed. She pulls scarlet out and gives her a hug and put her in the car too. Leilani was not sure how long she had been under that rubble in her yard and was not sure if the storms had passed completely so she wanted Scarlet with her so she could make sure they were safe. Leilani drives onto the H-2 Highway, and she must move to miss turned over cars, trees, and plants, she was shocked at the site because she has not seen Hawai’i like this, and it made her sad to think that all the people could be dead, and the Aloha may be gone forever.

Leilani decides to drive towards the airport, so she merges onto H-I highway because that is where all the goods and services came into the island. When she gets closer to see some of the airport where you see planes parked, there were a few planes, but they were crumbled into pieces and the rest was scattered along Nimitz Road. Leilani drove around the ramps of the airport where they usually had lines of people waiting to leave for departure or were arriving and she did not see a single person. Leilani decided to drive towards Waikiki because she knew there had to be people there because thousands of people were coming here a day after Covid lockdown. Leilani merges onto H- I east and she does not see a single person driving, there are wrecked vehicles hanging on trees, bridges and over passes, she drives towards Kalakaua and there are not any tourists walking around and there were not any vehicles, no police walking around, and Leilani just starts to feel alone and afraid of a world without others in it. Leilani did not want to waste her gas or keep driving around crying so she decided to go back home so she could find things to keep her mind busy. Leilani walks up to her front door and there is a gold skeleton key with a note, telling her to go to Ko’Olina Lagoon 4. Leilani wondered how someone left this if no one was alive on her island. Leilani put scarlet back in the house, grabs the key and drive to the lagoon. All Leilani could think about was who put that key by her door. Leilani gets to the gate at Lagoon 4 and there is a heart shaped locket and a note that tells Leilani to lock the gate behind her and to not let anyone get out. Leilani pulls up to the beach and she is so happy to be there because she has not been able to visit this location since 2019 and it was now 2021. Leilani walks around the area and does not see anyone so she decides to walk over to the aircraft landing area and there were hundreds of discs shaped flying vehicles. A Bluish color looking life form starts walking towards Leilani, it has two eyes, a huge rose crystal in the middle of the head, two arms, two legs and ten fingers and toes. The Life form says that she is here on Oahu to help me with my crystalline grid, she says she wants me to walk around with her to see a few things and lets me know I am safe and secure, no one will harm me. She lets me know she is Tela from Telos and everything I see is because people agreed to join her mission. There is a compound that is housing millions of people from Oahu, and they are wearing flight suits and equipment so they can board the space craft. Tela explains to me in light language that I had a choice to stay on Oahu during this post-apocalyptic time or I could also board my own space craft she has for me and I would go back to Telos as well, telling me that Telos looks kind of like Hawaii but they do not use electricity, gas or the types of technology we use and that my body will be upgraded to become ageless and I can make myself look any way I choose. I told Tela I only had one condition and that was to bring my cat Scarlet.
