a promise kept

The explosion catapulted Nanah Cub and Tare Ree instantly back to their true home of crystal and light where they found themselves standing together facing Father and Mother.

All memory restored, they knelt in unison with heads bowed. Nanah Cub’s voice was cloaked in grief as he said, “I’ve failed you, Father. The slaughter of your children continues. I didn’t stop it. I couldn’t stop it. I couldn’t even save Tare Ree.

Mother looked upon Nanah Cub with compassion and love as Father spoke, “You did not fail me, Nanah Cub. You have been a good and faithful son. There is a larger scheme to things than you can comprehend and the ripples of influence that you began through your courage and determination shall have no end. You were there to greet Tare Ree upon her entrance into The Dimension of Barbarik. You kept your promise. You were true to yourself and to others. Your Mansion has been prepared and awaits you and Tare Ree. Kingdoms you have not yet dreamed of will someday be yours.”

The grim shadow that had been hovering over the soul that was Nanah Cub for so long during his adventures as Jo Sef had evaporated like morning mist kissed by sunshine. Nanah Cub and Tare Ree glided upright, their spirits intertwining in a loving embrace amid faint echoes of an enchanting melody. You will live here safe with me. I’ll love you for eternity. When Nanah Cub saw the trust and joy reflected in Tare Ree’s eyes he knew that they would progress through the eternities together, carrying this moment in their hearts’ memory forever.
