As the Golden Kelpie said this, they arrived at the lake with the waterfall. All around in the sunshine were lush green plants, butterflies flitting here and there, hummingbirds feeding from the red flowers and the sound of water cascading into the lake.
“Please put me in the water.”
And the little girl did.
Before her eyes the Golden Kelpie began to grow, her body grew to full size, her hair grew longer, her arms grew and she was complete and whole again.
After the Golden Kelpie had been in the lake for a while, she climbed out and her skin reflected the sunlight as if she was the sun herself. Her hair had lightened more and all of the black was gone, but the yellows and reds and oranges glowed their shimmering light. Butterflies alighted on her hair and her dress was made of flowers and leaves the gently wafted in the gentle breeze.
“My name is Alana.” The Golden Kelpie told Anna. “I have much to tell you, but first let us eat, and I will introduce you to the other Golden Kelpies and the other children who have chosen to live here.”
Alana took Anna’s hand. Anna felt the electricity of Alana and she smiled. For the first time that she could remember, she felt happy and safe.
