4 hours later we were still in the registers office looking through the files, when I came across one that mentioned pyramids. This could be it; my Father had told me he had found the portal in an Amazon temple ruin. I knew that the Amazonians had built pyramids, and reading further, I discovered (with help from Garreth who was translating it for me) a mention of a vast Forrest. That had to be the rain Forrest. It also mentioned a primitive people that ruled this land.

”That’s it, it’s got to be,” I shouted, jumping to my feet. ”It certainly fits with what you were telling me,” agreed Garreth. We decided to take it to the elders who wasted no time in opening a portal for me. I looked at Garreth long and hard with thoughts of staying, but I belonged on earth. I could always visit, for my Father still had the portal he had found, Garreth had explained to me how the portal worked, so I knew how to get back here, still I hesitated. Turning to face Garreth I swore I would return, we kissed hard with an embrace that said take care, and I walked over to the portal and let myself be pulled into its magic once again.

Re-appearing back in my Fathers lab, I quickly spotted him slumped over his desk; he must have worked tirelessly trying to find a way of getting me back. ”Father, I’m back!” I said, shaking his shoulder. He sat upright with a bolt. "Cathy, my dear child, what happened…how did you escape…are you alright?” The questions were coming thick and fast, and I knew at that point he was pleased to see me…I just smiled and hugged him, knowing that I was very lucky to be back.....
