Chapter 29: Chapter 29

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…
