It meant their king was alive.
And Jack was ready to give them a fighting chance. He didn't yet know what approach he would take to make that happen. All he had was a chance to make things right, and he would see that chance through the best he could.
Galicia deserved as much.
As they pulled closer to theDestiny, Kat nuzzled against his side. "Are you doing okay this morning?"
Jack nodded confidently. "I'm not bad at all. I feel great actually. Like we're at the dawn of a new day. You know, more than literally."
She smiled warmly. "I kind of feel the same way." Her hand crept into his briefly. "I'm glad we stopped here."
"Me too."
The launch boat pulled alongside theDestiny, and they were soon hoisted up. Jack hopped onto the deck of the mighty cruiser and then proceeded to help the women off next. Not surprisingly, as soon as the whole group was back on solid ground, a familiar face approached them from behind.
"Back so soon, huh?" asked Greg with a sly grin. "And here we were just getting used to having you off the ship."
Jack chuckled. "Can't have that. This is still my task force after all."
Greg laughed and slapped his back playfully. "Well, we're glad to have you back. You ready to get sailing again?"
"I'm feeling good, and I'm ready to get to our next destination."
"Are you feeling rested now after all that R&R? I bet you spent all that time on the beach with fruity drinks, didn't you?" asked Greg with a grin.
Jack gave him a funny look and rested his hand on the other man's shoulder. "Yeah, about that. We should have a talk."

Grog075511 months agoWOW, thank you for sharing this wonderful tale! You ran the entire gamut of emotions through me!
Anonymousabout 3 years agoWhy is everyone in the know dancing around the obvious fact that Kat is the deposed regent?
AuntySocialabout 3 years agoPage 7 I believe, when Vera was thinking of her maternal grandmother....it would actually be her paternal grandmother. They may have a maternal grandmother someplace...and possibly cousins from their mothers side...but she was the commoner, whereas Evelyn was their fathers mother...correct?
CJMcCormickover 3 years agoAuthorAnonymous - Yes, you are correct. The Javans are a mix of the first Galician settlers of the island and the native People of the Lake. It was a match born out of necessity since the Galicians settlers were mostly men and the People of the Lake had most of their men killed off in a great war between them. Nature took its own course from there. Great reference!
Anonymousover 3 years agoSo the Javans are like the Mixed American people (for example the mixed Latinos) in that they have a mixed ancestry of both Galician (European) and the People of the Lake (Native Americans).
