Elizabeth and Al moved in together, and although it was awkward at the beginning, they learned quickly to allow for each other’s unique needs. It was a good relationship, and they were both quite happy. The colony had accepted him for what he was, and he was content.
The captain insisted on and organized a Thanksgiving celebration. Long tables were set up outside and covered with fruits and vegetables from the shipboard farm and the first produce of the first harvest. The Sansi brought their favorites. Fresh filtered water was available within arm’s reach, along with a fair selection of wine from Earth and a small sampling of Avalonian wine. Everyone attended, and all had a good time.
For the first time, the Sansi were able to enjoy a beautiful starlit evening. Most of the natives had never had the opportunity to experience or appreciate a night life. Lanterns lit the outside of the community center and contributed to the atmosphere of celebration, while a small group of colonial musicians played softly on the center porch.
During the party, the natives were introduced to many kinds of Kuthra foods, and for the first time—the relaxing effects of wine. It turned out to be a hugely successful party and went much better than anyone could have hoped.
At midnight, the humans introduced the Sansi to the age-old human tradition of The Toast, when the captain initiated a mass salute where everyone took part.
As a single group, the Sansi and Kuthra clinked and raised their glasses, and loudly proclaimed—“To Avalon!”
Chapter Twenty-One
Standing at the top of a grass covered hill, with a sweet smelling breeze at his back, Al Clark reveled in the bright morning sunshine of a perfect spring day. Jagged heights filled the horizon as the sun hoisted itself up and kissed the mountain tops.
In the valley below, the small idyllic village of Camelot was shaking off the night and was well into the process of beginning a new day. The faraway villagers appeared to be enjoying the day as much as he.
Someone was running up the hill towards him yelling something—a couple of words over and over; maybe a name, maybe a warning? He cupped his ears with his hands to better hear what the person was saying, but the sounds came muffled and distorted; carried away by the wind.
The person got closer and closer, arms and legs pumping, and the words became clearer and clearer until there could be no mistake—It was Elizabeth, and she was yelling, “It’s a boy! It’s a boy! We are grandparents!” It was official. They were the proud grandparents of the first human child born on Avalon.
Al finally understood why the dream always made him feel—happy.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Jonathan G. Meyer was born and raised in the St. Louis area, and has been an avid reader throughout the course of his life. He is the middle child of a family with seven children, and because he was the odd child out, he spent a lot of time alone with a book. All books can take you to new places, and he used them to travel to many. However, he ultimately prefers the worlds of Science Fiction. Sci-Fi has always been one of his passions.
The books he creates are a throwback to the cheap pulp paperbacks he bought as a teenager. Books that one could carry in a back pocket. They are adventures that portray nostalgia for the past, excitement for the present, and a fervent hope for the future.
This book is the first in the AL CLARK series.
