Kharon Chapter 87
The Kharon is docked in what seems like a lush tropical beach. The group walks cautiously further through the greenery towards the interior of the island. The greenery opens up to reveal rolling hills with meadows and forests. Large waterfalls flank a pristine river. Over the waterfalls immaculate marble structures are built almost integrated into the beautiful scenery. A group of smiling people are walking towards them.
An older gentleman at the front of the group shouts out, “Welcome newcomers.”
“Who are you? What is the name of this place?”, asks Luke.
The older gentleman spreads his arms wide and says, “This place is known by many names and I am Marshall head of the welcoming committee. Come let us show you around.”
“Is this The Gardens?”, asks Emma.
“That is one of the names we are known by.”
The jaws of the crew drop. “I can’t believe it! We found The Gardens”, says Jacob in a state of shock.
“One never finds this place. One instead must make themselves able to see it.”
“What does that mean?”, asks Luke.
“Who cares”, says Simone. “You were right all along. You found what you were looking for.”
Luke looks around him and then at Emma and smiles. “Yeah. I guess I did.”
Kiarah turns her head and sees a Quarsian paddling a small raft along the river towards them. Kiarah’s eyes bulge. Her knees buckle.
“Is that a Quarsian?”, asks Jacob.
“I thought Kiarah was the last one?”, asks Emma.
“Guess there are some things she is wrong about”, says Luke.
“HAMAK!!”, exclaims Kiarah as she runs to the other Quarsian. Hamak opens his arms and Kiarah jumps into them. They hold each other as the rest of the Kharon crew can't help but smile at the touching scene.
The End
