Everything looked mundane after the wedding. All the
guests had gone back to their place and city slowly settled
back in to normalcy!
Frank and Redim had their fill of Arda and the enchanting
place made them to forget the time.
Re was worried that he was not able to connect with the
Cynig Robert from earth.
Victon would ask them every day if they got any news
about the Cynig when there was nothing from the Earth he
despaired.
Frank looked at his cell and he was surprised that two
months had gone since they had come to Arda. He had
told that he would return in two months’ time and his
father Timothy would start a manhunt if he wouldn’t keep
up his words. When he discussed with Redim and she was
ready to go back to Earth…Redim had learnt lot of things
about genetic engineering from Re, Zo and Ro …
Especially about longevity of life but she knew it would
not be ethical on Earth … with the population soaring
high, it would not be proper to bring in longevity to the
human life. But she was excited that she could use it to
cure plenty of diseases and increase the immunity …
Richard knew that his friends would leave but he thought
they would stay for year at least… But knowing their
responsibilities on Earth he had to accept their decision to
go back.
Re assured them that the new spacecraft was ready and Zo
had tested it several time. It is more comfortable and
spacious with increased speed. Redim was asked to name
it! The old one was called Ave and she came up with Asir
it meant blessing in her language.
…
Re liked it immediately it sounded perfect for the second
spacecraft manufactured by them with the ancestral inborn
knowledge.
So it was decided that Re and Zo would go with Frank and
Redim and bring back the Cynig Robert.
Frank went around the city for the last time… He was
amazed to see the farm, farm animals, the cattle pens ,
even some poultry, the water reservoirs, the neat circular
roads and the houses … He couldn’t believe that in one
year they had established themselves as a formidable
force… he was happy Richard and Christina would see to
its prosperity in the coming years. Arda would remain in
his memory for always!
He definitely would come back in few years time but the
world was not ready for this knowledge… Moreover it
would be up to Richard to reveal the secrets of Arda!
The preparation for the journey began earnestly! Richard
and Christina were literally in tears and they gave them the
presents of the gems that they got from Victon…
Victon gave such huge diamonds, rubies, sapphires and
emeralds to them as the parting gifts.
The queen gave some seeds and she told to sow and raise
them in their land and surely she would be able
communicate to them in future.
Frank and Redim promised them they would return if they
needed them.
Re had put them in life support which was specially
designed for the humans. Zo and Re put the Asir in
MagLev mode and set the timer to switch over to the
autopilot. They were put on life support by Ro and he left.
The landing gear and the steps retracted, Asir floated
slowly, the wings came down and locked, then outer cover
the resistor came down and it disappeared from sight!
EARTH
The Cynig Robert refused to go back with Re as he had
earned lots of friends on Earth. He said he would return in
future when he corrected some injustices on the Earth and
he was needed here on the Earth more than in Arda. Re
had to accept his decision and they left without the Cynig
Robert!
Frank and Redim got married and had two lovely kids
Richard and Christina in due course and always
remembered Arda and their friends on Arda…
