Homecoming
The Never Ending Quest - Episode 10806

"Why?" said the girl with a voice that came as if from a grave. "Why do
they do anything? They stormed and flooded and burned and shook
everything. Why do they do this? Why?" Obviously the girl was in shock,
her world was upsidedown and the appearance of these four strangers did
nothing to ease the girl's terror.
"What is to be done now?" asked Exotica. "Where do we go?" "What?" murmured the girl. "Where, why? Who and when? Hahahahaha!" She began to laugh hysterically. Astra shook her, trying to bring the girl to her senses, but to no avail. Astra grabbed the girl by the arm and began walking eastward, pulling the girl with her. "Where are we going?" asked Fred as he followed. "I'm going to my home," said Astra as she gritted her teeth. There was only silence in the vast city. Not a quetzal sang, not a jaguar prowled, not a colobus screeched. Fred, Exotica and Velus stood in silence. Astra stood in silence. Even the girl had quit her ranting. They stood in what once was a grand stone hall. It was the entry to the home of the Royal Family. It was now gutted by fire, thrown down by quakes, filled with flood marks, and still trembling with a cold breeze. Each was silent in their own thoughts, their own meanderings, their own questions. Not a word was said, out of respect for the dead.
