Kharon Chapter 86
Several cycles later Jacob and Emma are lying on the deck in each others arms napping. Sparky is curled up close by but suddenly becomes alert and starts buzzing with electricity. This rouses Emma who sits up and squints towards the horizon. “Look. We’re coming up to another island.”
Jacob sits up as well and rolls his eyes. “Great. Here comes another life threatening adventure.”
Jacob, Emma and Sparky stroll onto the bridge where Luke is piloting. Next to him Simone is furrowing her brow as she pours over maps. “I don’t see it on any of these.”
Kiarah walks onto the bridge and says, “My Quarsian tactics have failed to discern what island this is.”
“Wait. A mysterious unidentified island. You don’t think it’s…?”, asks Emma.
“I don’t know…I’ve never seen an island this green”, says Simone as she hunches over the telescopic view screen.
“We should dock and check it out”, says Emma.
“An unidentified island could be dangerous. We should just keep on moving”, says Luke.
“If it’s a threat then we’ll just destroy it like every other island we came across”, Emma retorts.
“I certainly have nothing to fear”, says Kiarah proudly,
Luke looks at Jacob who just shrugs. He then looks at Simone who nods.
Luke steers the Kharon towards the mysterious land mass. “First sign of trouble we get fuck outta here.”
