“They’re headed this way,” Bruce announced. “I can see the Flying Fish. At least I think that’s her. It doesn’t look anything like the ship we sailed on, but it does glitter just as Patron said it would.”

“Yes, we should get everything together. She will stay a little distance from the island. It’s too shallow around here.”

“All right. Come along, child. We’re going away from here,” Cat told Cypress. The girl looked at her with a mixture of fear, suspicion and hope.

“It’s all right, sweetheart,” Cat said. “You’re safe now. We’re going to take you away to Pera.”

The mainland. That’s where the fishermen came from. Cypress looked around her at the familiar but frightening landscape. I miss my brother, she thought. I will never see him again…

Cypress shook her head; her eyes were filled with tears. With her good hand, she clutched the blanket and the crocodile hanging around her neck. Cat put an arm around her shoulders and led her gently but firmly out of the cave, past the nose rock, and into the boat.

“All ready?” Peter asked, as he readied to start the engine.

Father Griffith looked around one last time before getting on the boat. There was no sign of the tall man who had led them to the girl. I know you’re there, he thought.

“She’s going to be safe,” he shouted to no one in particular.

Unseen by them, Twilight’s Hand watched the boat speed away towards the glittering submarine ship. He noted that the woman with the dark brown hair – an immortal, if he had to guess – had taken Cypress by the hand. She looked like she would be kind to Cypress. And the man in the black robe, who was also probably an immortal and a foreigner, had shouted that Cypress would be safe.

Cypress is safe, he thought. She is the River’s guest.

And he felt:

Our heart is inconsolable

For it is unforgivable…
