"Remember our studies, Lloyd? Wouldn't it be some life to sail between those worlds?"
Lloyd expelled some air and he sounded in agreement.
Soon, the men fell asleep and travelled the uncertain routes between the stars in search of those precious things that they had lost in their youth.
Those harmonious dreams were fleeting, yet blessed moments of comfort given them by the love of God.
CHAPTER SIXTEEN
Morning saw the men eat little and collect their possessions, in their preparation to make their descent to the floor of the other side.
Carefully, they hung off the edge and made their way, a hair and a-breath-at-a-time, until they reached the narrow ledge.
Reaching the ledge didn't take the two men very long and they sat on it, with their legs dangling over its edge while they ate their breakfast.
The rest of the way would be quicker and easier because, to their left the ledge soon became a wider path that gradually made its way down, coming out at the river, very near to where the cable was anchored.
While they ate they watched a Kenttitian Eagle fly over them with a rider. It was heading south over the Dark Forest and they thought that it was Empal on his way back to Pomperaque.
