Chapter 9
Keep Holding On
As Eureka and Renton fell to the ground they waited for the inevitable to happen. All hope seemed lost. There was no way they would survive their fall. All of a sudden Renton noticed something. They weren't falling anymore! In fact, they were rising! "Eureka, look!" he said to her. "Huh, wha..." Eureka looked behind her. She saw that the wings on her back were moving! Her wings had caught the air and thin trapar currents causing them to flap.
"Eureka." he said. She nodded. "Right. Renton hold on to me tightly." Eureka told him. "Yeah." Renton said as he clasped his arms around her waist. "I can do this! I'll save us Renton!" she exclaimed out loud. Eureka and Renton rose. Finally, they reached the peak of the mountain. Using the remainder of her strength she flew up past the shimmer of light reaching the surface. After that the increase of trapar caught underneath her wings. This caused the couple to rapidly rise the rest of the way enough until they were able to safely land on the surface.
Upon landing Renton turned to Eureka. Placing his hands on her shoulders her stared directly into his love's eyes. "Eureka," said Renton, "You really are an angel." Eureka blushed. "Renton..." she started "Oh Renton, I love you." Eureka pulled him close hugging him. She began to cry. " I was so scared. I thought it was all over." Eureka went on. "I know," he said, "I thought so too and I was terrified." He tilted her chin up. "But Eureka, it's not over, you saved us." Renton said with a smile. Her tears started to dry up. Eureka leaned in and kissed him. "Yeah," she said feeling better. "I did. We're alright and that's all that matters." Renton kissed Eureka on the forehead still holding her close.
They looked around them. "Where are we?" Renton asked thinking out loud. There were tons of trees and other types of brush. In front of them was a lake. They seemed to be in a forest. Eureka and Renton stood there in the middle of the forest and looked up at the night sky. Above them the moon with their names began to rise. A year had passed in total while they were gone.
All of a sudden the gem on Eureka's forehead began glowing blue. "Eureka, your gem." he said. Then suddenly there was a second light. Renton!" Eureka exclaimed. A gem had formed on Renton's head as well and it began to glow red. "What does this mean?" Renton thought to himself. "I'm not sure." Eureka said. "What?" he asked her. " I don't know what this means." she answered. Wait, did you hear what I was thinking?!" he asked her. "I think so." Eureka thought to herself. "There!" Renton exclaimed, "I heard your thoughts too Eureka!" They looked at each other stunned as their gems shimmered blue and red. "Amazing!" Eureka and Renton both thought.
Meanwhile, in 'Renton Thurston Hillside Hope Park' on top a hill...
"Come on now children you gotta slow down. You shouldn't make an old man run so much." said the adult. "Maeter why do you have your hands like that?" the little boy asked. "I'm wishing on a star as hard as I can for Mama and Renton to come back so they can finally be with us again." she said. "Yeah, me too." Linck said folding his hands. "And me." said Maurice, the oldest, joining in. "Yes hurry and come back with that young lady of your's Renton." Axel said, "Your lovely children are waiting for you." All of them looked up at the moon.
Elsewhere in the park another young couple along with their pet were camping out. "Dominic, when do you think Eureka and Renton will return?" she asked. "I don't know Anemone." he said, "Soon I hope." "Wrrl" went their pet. Anemone smiled and kissed Gulliver on the nose. They gazed up at the moon as well.
Far off in the distance two lights were shimmering. One blue and one red
