The writer gives life to a story, the reader keeps it alive.
It took five years of rehabilitation for Omorose Merek-Balsara to trust Andre enough to consider him fit to be released into the custody of his resurrected parents. After meeting up with the Guild Master’s General and another emancipated Haernyara, Omorose and her ward join them as they walk towards a war museum, doubling as a refugee naturalisation centre, on Terminal Island, Long Beach. (Fight fascism)
Omorose Merek-Balsara transported her enemy, Andre Kruus, to a little village in Estonia, where Andre’s parents still live, decades after their son was stolen from them, by thieves in the night. Omorose deactivates the tracking device in his arm, to prevent the Amanojuko locating him.
Omorose turned as her past mother cried out to her from the safety of the bubble shield. Too late to see the tattooed man charge at her, she feels his weight hit her hard and she smashes against the deck, winded, but not unconscious.
Present Heyem, still trapped inside her bubble shield, watches the battle as the warriors in the sky begin to fall onto the ships deck, around her, forcing her future family to take up their weapons once more and fight.
The Guild Master’s General has spent the past few weeks learning about the life of one Haernyara. A woman, in her mid-forties, Petra Teslov, who grew up in the same neighbourhood as Inajda Rekaya and Anya Ranyevzsky. As he searches for her amongst the other flickers in the sky, his thoughts waver to his own incarceration. How can he give this woman salvation when he himself is not free?
After tying up the remainder of their prisoners on the ship’s bridge, The Guild Masters General and Hope watch from the observation windows, as the Haernyara and Kyo-ashita army begin disappearing from the sky.
