At the end of the evening, Kati, Mikal, Xoraya, and Lank collected what luggage they had, and corralled Canna, Malin, Ingrid and the Grenie girls. They bid farewell to everyone that they were leaving behind, and boarded the large flyer which took them to the Port and the Space Cruiser. Josh had deserted the celebration earlier, and had gone to prepare the ship for its launch.
Roxanna was the last person to hug Kati before she climbed into the flyer.
“Find that bastard Gorsh,” she whispered fiercely, even though she was sniffling with the good-byes. “Bring him to justice.”
Kati smiled at the young woman whose sharp tongue seemed to have been somewhat blunted, now that she had an adoring Borhquan attending to her.
“Count on it,” she replied.
THE END.

About the Author
Helena Puumala was born in Finland, but migrated to Northwestern Ontario, Canada, with her parents and siblings, at an early age. There she learned to adore Nature, living as her family did, surrounded by it, miles from the nearest town.
As a young woman, she attended Carleton University in Ottawa, earning a degree in English Literature, with a Minor in History, after deciding that her first choice, Journalism, was the wrong one for her. She spent the years after graduation avoiding a settled career choice because doing so would have interfered with her plans to write. Thus, she earned a living doing various jobs, among them: a Post Office clerk, a tree planter, an office worker and a laboratory animal technician.
She married a man from Edmonton, Alberta, and ended up making his hometown hers. The two of them brought up a son who turned out to be academically talented; presently he is studying Astrophysics at McGill University, Montreal.
With her son gone from home to Graduate School, Helena finally had the time and the opportunity to devote herself fully to writing. She also gained the help of her spouse, who has become, besides her staunchest supporter, her editor and publisher. Together they run the Dodecahedron Books which e-publishes her works.
Helena is on Facebook and would be interested in feedback from readers.
