IV
As the sun began to set, the Cliffhangers started making their way back to the campsite. Sophie and Peter had the fire alight already.
The group ate hot dogs for dinner with smores for dessert. Over the meal they all recalled various times they had gone camping with their families or previous quests, spending much time laughing at their antics.
Afterwards Peter held group. they went around the circle and discussed how they were feeling about this afternoon's exercise. Juliette was the first to respond, saying that she felt "strong." Auggie followed her and said he felt "calm and happy." Then, in order, Ezra, Daisy, Shelby, Scott and finally David said, "good and forgiving . determined . thankful .hopeful .and, ready."
The sat around the fire for awhile longer until Peter called lights out. Each Cliffhanger went to their tent, and slept as they world became inked in blackness.
The next morning the quest to heal the souls of Horizon continued .
THE END
