After our breakfast Brok held my hand and walked with me into the garden. We were playing a game we sometimes played called, what do you see? The game was quite simple, we asked each other honey, honey, what do you see and the watcher had to tell the object's color or with what letter it started or maybe a small description of what that thing was. Sometimes I guessed, sometimes I didn't and sometimes Brok forgot that I didn't really know the Sha alphabet and so when he said a letter that I could not identify his turn was immediately terminated. After a while I grew tired of the game and I began to sing my favorite song; I want to make it with you.
Brok observed me and smiled as I sang it. I didn't want to sing it too much and after a while of singing I felt kind of embarrassed, but Brok encouraged me to go on.
"Please, don't stop. You have a lovely voice," Brok said.
"You're kidding, right?"
"No," he said. I tried to find some sense of humor, but there was none. So, I sang on.
"I want to make it with you,
I really, think that we can make it through..."
As I sang with my hands in his I noticed that he would not stop staring back at me. I tried not to blush, but it was nearly impossible to do so. I cut through the song to finish it quickly.
"Hey, you cheated," Brok said.
"I'm tired of singing," I said. Brok laughed. I felt that our morning although wonderful was taking too long.
"Brok. I want you to know that I'm ready for my trip," I said.
"You really are anxious to leave me, aren't you?" Brok said. I frowned.
"Brok-"
"I think you're right Anabella. It's time for you to go. Rox should be finishing with the ship's engines and its systems. I'm sure you'll have a safe trip," Brok said.
"Thank you," I replied.
"Anabella, before you go, I would like to give you something," he said.
"Another present?" I asked.
"This is for you, in case you decide not to return."
"I already told you-"
"I know what you said, but I would still like you to have it," Brok said.
"Okay," I nodded. So Brok reached to the pocket of his pants and he handed me something that looked like a little powder box. It glowed under the purple sky like Brok's two golden spherical eyes. I grasped it and observed it carefully. I flinched at its touch. It was cold and smooth to the touch.
"What is it?" I asked him. He placed his hands over it and his warm fingers slid and touched my hands making a firm contrast. I felt a tingling sensation in my palms as his nails rasped them gently. A slight cut appeared.
"I apologize," Brok said.
"No, it's okay," I replied and I wiped it off with the side of my jeans.
"See, nothing there," I said showing my palm to him. He nodded.
"This is my CamVisor," Brok said. I frowned and he noticed my confusion. There seemed to be a slight button on it, so imperceptible I could barely see it myself. Brok pushed it and the cover slid open.
"It's just a mirror," I said, but Brok shook his head.
"No, it's not just a mirror, although you can use it as such if you wish and it would be the most beautiful reflection it's received, I'm sure," Brok said and I smiled.
"Brok!"
"Why do you always feel ashamed of my compliments? They are nothing, but true. Now, to answer your question, no this is not just a mirror. This is a device that allows me to see... different things. If I want to see my castle I just ask it to do so. I have deactivated the fingerprint security system to allow you to have it. It is yours."
"So, if I want to see you..."
"All you have to do is ask," Brok said.
"What if I want to see my father?"
"You can't see your father. Your father lives in the past. You will need my ship and the Tuclu to do that."
"The Tuclu?"
"The Tuclu is a creature that rides with our ships for space travel. They have the ability to find safe wormholes for us," Brok said.
"They don't happen to be like fat whales and have large tentacles, right?"
"How do you know about their physical appearance?" Brok asked me.
"It doesn't matter," I replied. Brok seemed a bit worried, but didn't mention the creature again. He shook his head and went on.
"This is for you. I hope that you find what you are looking for," Brok said. I nodded and kissed his soft lips.
"I love you," I said. Brok opened his mouth, but it was Rox's voice that I heard.
"Master, the ship is ready and fully functional." Rox was in front of us. Brok blinked twice and I had to laugh. His gesture just seemed too funny to me.
"Yes Rox, thank you," Brok said.
"Rox, place Anabella's things in the ship and prepare for take-off. I will accompany her to the ship, personally," Brok said.
"Yes master. Excuse me," Rox said to us and left the garden.
