39: Like a Witch Attacking Those Around Her

The dark sky suddenly disappeared, eaten by the red chicken, and they were able to live happily ever after in family life. Wendy was deeply grieving the loss of her husband in a battle against the village's false bishops, but Lunga turned to Wendy for the safety of her small family. Wendy still remembers the events that happened a few days ago, but can only dream and pray that she will be safe in the future.

"Mom... what's wrong?"
"Oh... it's... it's okay, Samuël. But I'm still thinking about your dad. Dad, saving us from those false bishops."
"What? Did someone really do that?"
"You see... you saw our bodies over there, covered in dirty sand? I'm glad you're here. If you weren't here..."
"Come on, let's get on the boat. It's just a short walk from there," Povrzete said.
"Come on, Mom. Don't daydream."
"Yes, yes, I'm sorry."

Wendy was still thinking about her husband, but she couldn't help but cry, so she found the strength to collect her thoughts for a moment.

"My mom seems to still be thinking...what should I do...I have to find a way to get back to normal." Samuel was also grieving over what had happened a while ago.

Čhevron and Fu Manču were 570 meters off the coast of the open ocean, heading 137 degrees east on the Vazna Sea. But the wind was too weak to confirm the direction they were sailing, even though they weren't sure they would make it there.

Povrzete used the compass from Eden had given him for the journey.

"Here, this is for you."
"What? A compass? For me?"
"Yes, I know the direction you want. I'll come back later. I have other things to do."
"Oh, I see. Thank you."
"You're welcome. Be careful on your way."
"Yes, I hope we'll meet again someday."

Povrzete and Eden shook hands in gratitude for the gift, and Povrzete used the compass to set off on his own path. This time, Samuel helps Povrzete lead the journey, but Samuel still thinks about his mother returning to normal.

"Are we getting close, Mr. Povrzete?"
"Not yet, this way."
"Oh, can I help you, Mr. Povrzete?"
"It's okay, Samuël. Don't worry, okay?"

"Yes, I'm fine."

*Looks at Wendy*

"What happen to your mother?"
"I don't know."
"Oh..."

Like water being swallowed by the earth, they finally reached his destination.
