Ruins pt. 53

The next day the residents of New Eden all collected in Lilac Park. 
They were there to see us off. 

Kay and Nora were going to stay behind. 

Marcus was as well.  We had all decided that he could do more good in the town then out in the wilds with us.

It was just Doug, Alana and myself, and all three of us could feel the weight of our quest on our shoulders.

If we failed then the beauty that was New Eden would vanish from the world, swallowed up in the sea of ugliness and violence that had taken over everything else.
We knew the stakes, and so did every anxious and worried face that was looking at us.

Marcus embraced each of us, one by one, and then turned to his people.
“Wish them luck, pray for them, and send them positive thoughts.  Do whatever it is you can, because these three will need it.  They are risking their lives, their very souls for us, every single one of us. So, today keep them in your thoughts and prayers.”

He turned to us, and smiled.

“Good luck.”

We would need it.
