Farewell

They can behold, from afar, the road taken! It is a beautiful sight! They can see the dangerous forest, grassland filled with rocks and the nurturing Amrita tree in the lake!

They can also see other far places.

      Azur: This is beautiful… I can see the Black Forrest from here!

      Nickalen: You can see everything from here! This is your first mountain climb… How does it feel?

      Azur: It feels like… like everything is possible!

The boy wonders from above, trying to figure out which places he knows. He is amazed how the same places are viewed differently from the Mountain! Life is so much simpler with a bigger picture in front of you.

The GreenCircle approaches his hands together and forms a cup. Between his thumbs, Nickalen leaves a small hole on top of the cup! The GreenCircle begins to blow into that hole and an odd whistle is heard!

The whistle echoes around the place! Azur becomes worried!

      Azur: Master, what are you doing?

      Nickalen: Calling a friend!

The platypus is waking up. The boy goes to his disciple!

      Azur: Platon! How are you hanging upthere, buddy? Nice way to wake him, Master!

The boy takes his platypus in his arms. Azur begins to caress Platon as they all have survived this adventure!

Platon enjoys his master’s presence and care. The platypus becomes relaxed.

Something moves above! Above in the sky! Platon sees it! The platypus opens its eyes wide! It becomes agitated and tries to run from Azur’s hands!

      Azur: What’s the matter, Platon!?

The calm air suddenly changes. A cold wind goes through the boy! Azur felt it! He moves to his left and to his right to find from where it came! The boy does not see anything!  Suddenly, a wide dark shadow appears under his feet!

The shadow appeared quick and unexpected! The boy’s hands do not know what to do. Fear has left the boy with soft hands and Azur drops Platon. The platypus falls near Azur’s feet and runs away. The shadow came from beneath the boy, so IT must be above!
