"He's lost himself."
Si'ralle was quiet momentarily, keeping Riku close. "...The little bird is near him. He has no reason to search any longer."

"He's lost himself."
Shandrak stopped at the base of the shuttle ramp. Crut waved as did the others who came to farewell their Queen. She felt the tears welling up in her eyes as she tried to keep her countenance. She turned too board then stopped. Nostros frowned and just stood there waiting. She turned and ran back to him for one last embrace, pressing her lips against his. There was no pushing away, no fear anymore. They finally belonged to each other after all those long years.Shandrak and Nostros sat together in the council room. It had been 6 hours since her arrival. "He's ready."
"I'm not completely sure." Nostros shook his head.
"Do you know how long it took me to find this file. Medrak sent me on some kind of top secret scavenger hunt." She had been holding his hand but slid back in her chair.
"You know he suggested that he already had chosen the recipients, one being himself."
"He didn't want you to know the truth, he knew it would have been a waste."
"He is ready to take this." She held up the jar of earths air. "It has always been meant for him. He has maintained his honesty and integrity."
"Very well... but I still want Crut to go back with you."
She smiled. "I don't need him. Plus Someone needs to help keep you alive."
"Why don't you need him?"
"Read the files, then destroy them. You will know." She stood and kissed him on the forehead. "Our reception will have to wait until you return."
Nostros blushed. "So what do I call you now, my wife?"
She chuckled and he stood to accompany her to her shuttle. "Assure Romalleaux that the prisoners still have hope, especially since they are returning with us to Terrellia."
"You can tell him yourself, I am sure he will be there to see you off." Nostros smirked. "He is quite enchanted by you my love."
"No." She hung her head. "He is very sad, I think he wants to be alone as long as he can until your mission begins."
They traveled together to the Docking bay spending what last moments they could soak up together. They both knew that it may be the last time they would ever see each other, so they walked slowly.
"Too bad Krits had to miss it." Nostros sighed.
She giggled. "Well he could read your mind to see it from your point of view."
"There's no way!"
Her shuttle and crew were ready with the Prisoners on board as they arrived.
Si'ralle was quiet momentarily, keeping Riku close. "...The little bird is near him. He has no reason to search any longer."

There was no pushing away, no fear anymore. They finally belonged to each other after all those long years.
He held his hands on both sides of her face, "Good bye my love. Take care of our people."
"I pray you succeed." She breathed slowly, their eyes staring deep into each others souls. "I will not say farewell." The tears finally broke free. She backed away up the ramp and gave another wave to the brave souls on the ship. Then she stood straight with dignity, bowed her head and entered the shuttle.
Nostros waited there until the shuttle was out of sight. "Captain Mork."
"Yes my King?" Mork strode up next to him.
"Its time to meet our fate."
Mork tapped the comm. "Pilot engage jump to the Rendezvous point."
Riku was also quiet for a moment.
Shandrak stopped as she saw him, the ramp closing behind. "You did come to say goodbye." The shuttle began to lift off.Romalleaux was waiting on the shuttle.
