Finally, familiar footsteps were heard. The girl turned around and met Chi Sang’s gaze. He was a tall man, whose age was betrayed only by silver strands in dark hair and eyes that burned with calm wisdom. He looked at the excited girl and shook his head.
– I know, I know why you are here. But alas, I can’t help you.
– But sir…
– Sorry, Nefert. I know it’s hard, but…
– I beg you… Is there really nothing that can be done? To know?
– How? This flight was the farthest of all that we had previously undertaken. Believe me, my girl, I’m sorry…
A siren blared throughout the hall. The Head of the Council and Nefertari looked at each other.
– What is it?
– I dont know. Maybe…
Chi Sang did not finish. Quick footsteps were heard, and Varr Go, chief astrologer of the council, ran into the hall.
– Master Sang…
What’s the matter Varr?
– Sorry, but we spotted an approaching starship.
– A starship? Chi Sang and Nefertari hurried to the huge window overlooking the runway. Something actually appeared in the sky that looked like a drop of molten silver. Then she approached, and the Head of the Council exclaimed:
– Aldabra!
– I knew! Oh Master, it’s her!
– Come on, we need to meet them! What a joyful day!
Meanwhile, the ship, shining in the sunlight, landed on the site of the cosmodrome. Council workers gathered in the Arrivals Hall noticed a bright flash of light, and the expedition commander appeared on the steps, accompanied by three people. Greeted on all sides by staff and Council members, the captain looked around as if searching for someone. Aria noticed his confusion.
– What is it, Mikkel?
– I thought she would be here…
– Who?
As if in answer to her question, a cry came from somewhere to the right:
– Mikkel!
The astronaut turned around and immediately found himself in the arms of a girl who ran out of the crowd and threw herself on his neck.
