The young men made attempts to impress Kalimah. Steff would give Kalimah rides on his favorite horse. Khan would take Kalimah on a nighttime hikes to study their natural surrounding world. Tensions would rise between Steff and Khan as they compete for Kalimah's love; but Kalimah loved them both equally and would feel bad to pick just one of them to love forever. Kalimah decided to secretly love both of her brothers. Kalimah was able to keep it a secret by telling the brothers not to go bragging about how they won her heart because she would not love them if they did. Kalimah talked to Durgrah about how she is secretly loving both Steff and Khan. Durgrah tells her sister, "You know eventually they will find out. Something is going to reveal the truth."
"I know. I want to tell them, but I love them both equally. They both have won my heart, but I can not choose one over the other.", stated Kalimah. Time goes on and the younger siblings grow to become teens. Aquailis became interested in the waters that ran between the trees in their garden. Heavinus would climb trees and look at the animals in the sky, and at night he would look up and see the stars. Artima became interested in animal taming like Durgrah and Kalimah. Harmona would craft devices out of wood and dead animal bones, and such devices made sounds of melody. Kalimah eventually became pregnant by both Steff and Khan. Kalimah however did not mention such information to Steff and Khan, in fear of them finding out she was secreting loving both of them, so she told her mother Evena and her sister Durgrah to help care for her while she was in labor. Kalimah also asked them to keep her out of sight of the brothers and just tell them she is sick and did not want to be bothered by anyone but her sister, her mother, and sometimes the younger siblings. Adameth eventually found out something was wrong with Kalimah, and asked what was going on with her. Evena told Adameth the whole story. Kalimah asked her father to not mention anything about her pregnancy to Steff and Khan, and just tell them that she is sick and is being cared for by her mother and Durgrah, back to good health. Adameth agreed to state that she is just sick to the boys and being cared for by her mother and Durgrah, but he would make them gather resources that she may need and have them bring the resources to their mother. Adameth told the boys individually that Kalimah is sick and does not wish to be bothered by nobody other then her mother and Durgrah and the younger siblings. Adameth told them that their mother would tell them what resources she needs to nurse Kalimah back to health, and that they must gather those resources and bring them back to their mother only. Steff and Khan individually agreed and dare not to defy their father's demands.
Steff and Khan would gather resources that their mother needed for Kalimah. Sometimes if water was needed Aqualis would travel with them to the waters of the garden only because he likes to swim in the waters and see the fish. If wood had to be gathered, Heavinus would travel with his older brothers to the trees to climb up and see the birds. Steff and Khan would partially get annoyed with their younger brothers constantly traveling with them and getting distracted from the task at hand, but they would just redirect their attention to what they're supposed to be doing. When traveling with the sisters they would find them equally as annoying; Harmona kept strumming her instruments, and Artima kept trying to tame wild animals. Eventually, Kalimah gave birth to two fraternal twin boys. One with eyes and hair resembling Steff and the other had eyes and hair resembling Khan. Evena, Durgrah, Aqualis, Heavinus, Artima, and Harmona were delighted to see the newborns, and so was Adameth, but he told Kalimah that its time to put the long term secret to an end and tell Steff and Khan that they are both fathers. Kalimah agrees with a nervous sigh. Adameth walks out of his shelter and says a loud, "Steff and Khan, present thyselves to me."
Steff and Khan heard their father and presented themselves. "Kalimah has something to say to both of you.", states Adameth. The younger siblings walk out first, and then Durgrah and Evena walk out. Kalimah came out last holding the twins in both of her arms. Kalimah looks up slowly at Khan and Steff and sees the shocked look on their faces. Kalimah, says to them, "Steff, Khan, I have given birth to two babies and each one has a physical appearance that resembles each of you."
Steff asked, "How is that so when you are only my lover."; Khan then blurts out, "No she was only my lover, not your lover."; Adameth then blurts out, "Silence the both of you. She wasn't done explaining herself.", they stop arguing, and Adameth looks at Kalimah and says, "Continue."
Kalimah then says, "The reason why each of these babies resembles each of you is because........I have been loving both of you in secret from each of you!"; they both say "What?", and she continues, "I love both of you equally so much to just choose one of you to love and hurt the others feelings. I knew you two had issues with each other on trying to win over my heart and would fight each other, and I did not want the two loves of my life fighting each other forever because I chose one of you to love forever, so I made the decision to love both of you secretly."
"How can you love such a wrongdoer as Khan?", asked Steff. "Wrongdoer!? What do you mean by that, Steff!?", questioned Khan in offended tone. Steff quickly turns to face his brother and says, "Oh don't act like you brother. You know you're a curious person, and have been instating such a horrible mindset into Kalimah. Trying to stray her from the path of the Supreme."
"How dare you accuse me of straying from the path of the Supreme!? I have been loyal to the Supreme my whole life, and I would never stray me or Kalimah away from his path!", Khan states angrily. "Oh really! You displayed your curiosity to the Supreme when he was present before us, and still continue to display curiosity even after me and the Supreme told you he does not like curiosity! You have defied the Supreme in front of his face and defy him even after!", Steff shouts. "That was my mistake in the beginning to let my curiosity take over when the Supreme was before us, and you know it! However, after that is not really a problem because we all display curiosity, even you have displayed curiosity, the Supreme just demands that we never let it control our actions, which I have never let it do ever again since the Supreme's visit, you rock head!", shouts Khan back at his brother. "Then how come the Supreme looked at you when he said don't trust the snake, he looked directly at you?", Steff mentioned. Everyone else gasp. Adameth then asks, "What happened?"
"Yes father, the Supreme looked at Khan when he said don't trust the snake. It can only mean he has been talking to the snake!", exclaims Steff. "I have not ever talked to the snake.", exclaims Khan. "Enough! This arguing has gone on long of enough. You two will be fathers to your babies. As for you Khan, I will talked directly to the Supreme about your actions, and if you have been talking to the snake, you will have me to deal with.", states Adameth. Adameth then says, "Hun, take the kids inside. Kalimah and Durgrah, head back to your shelter. Steff and Khan, you two will go cool your heads in your own shelters and then approach Kalimah when you're ready to provide for your own babies. I do not want to hear any arguing when you do approach Kalimah."
Steff and Khan nods their heads at the father. Kalimah and Durgrah start to head back to their shelter. Evena takes her younger children back inside their shelter. Steff and Khan leave to their separate shelters. Adameth then turns around to head into his shelter. "Seems like you are starting to become a leader, Adameth.", a voice says behind him. Adameth turns around to sees the Supreme standing before him. "Supreme! When did you get here?", asked Adameth. "I was here when the drama started, just blending in with the background.", the Supreme responds. "Sorry you had to see that Supreme.", exclaims Adameth. "No need to be Adameth. Problems occur naturally. Order just needs to be restored, which you had the ability to do. I am satisfied with your actions.", states the Supreme. "Very well then. Is it true my son Khan has been talking to the snake?", asks Adameth. "No, but unfortunately, he will soon.", responds the Supreme. Adameth says, "May I ask how do you know this."
"I can see almost every possible future, and to determine which one comes true, I look at which path each of you is following. Khan is following the path where he eventually will talk to the snake.", the Supreme explains. Adameth sighs; and the Supreme says, "Don't worry, there is nothing you can do about Khan. His path is bound to happened. However, I'm glad you're following the path of becoming a leader because I actually came here to talk to you about something else."
"What is it Supreme?", asked Adameth. "Ender is trying to reproduce my creation; you and Evena. He is making his own beings that walk like us, and have hands like us. They have some distinct features, like no erect spinal cord and hair all over their body, but they can craft rocks into tools that can be used for killing and are very vicious. He made these beings in a part of the world that is north from this great land. They will eventually make their way to this garden on foot. I want to teach you how to craft tools that can be used to fight off these beings when they come.", the Supreme responds. "Very well then Supreme.", states Adameth. The Supreme teaches Adameth how to make spears, bows, and arrows. The Supreme then tells Adameth to teach Evena, Steff, Khan, Durgrah, and Kalimah how to make the tools that he calls weapons, for the fight that is soon to come. The Supreme also mentioned to teach his younger kids how to make weapons when they are older. Adameth heeds his demands, and teaches his young adult offspring how to make weapons and also teaches his lover. Adameth younger kids later become adults and he teaches them to make weapons as well. Adameth told his family of the fight that is soon to come. The Supreme taught Adameth how to battle, and Adameth taught his family. His latest offspring had kids of their own. Aquailis had kids with Harmona, and Heavinus had kids with Artima. Kalimah's two sons grew to become adults, and later the younger adult sibiling's kids grew to become adults. They then populated into a large tribe of people.
