!!15Teshan was right. Sela did have a totally differentview on things. He began to rediscover KoshadNevin anew. It was if he had never really seen theisland but now with his new found enlightenment hefelt he knew everything about it. “How could have Ibeen so blind?!”He felt now that he had stopped looking forscientific answers and had looked through Sela’seyes, new vistas of beauty opened up all aroundhim.They remained in the mountain region for their nextstop, but this time they didn’t climb the mountainbut went inside it.Sela led him to the entrance of a cave and told himto follow her. The cave was large and very beautifuland Teshan felt it must hold special significance forthe Pentano, yet he could see nothing out of theordinary.The rock sparkled because of the moisture and theminerals; he could hear water dripping and couldsee stalagmites and stalactites.
