Venice Marco Polo Airport - Venice, Italy
Lok was on his way to Ireland to spend a few days in County Kerry. He told everyone that he was just going on a little vacation after two weeks of unsuccessful searched in Galicia and Oporto for the Alliance. They seem to have vanished.
Zhalia was going to take Den and Harrison for a week in the Netherlands. It would be a good opportunity for them to visit the city and grow some experience with a skilled seeker. Sophie was going to New York to oversee the reconstruction of the Cloisters. Focauld was trying to rebuild his relationship with Sophie, which was heavily damaged during the war against the Blood Spiral. This was his way to ask for a truce.
And Lok? Lok was going for Ireland. Cherit was with him, but apart from the old titan, he was alone. Since he was now an adult, he had to take care of a massive amount of paperwork relative to his father's disappearance - it was over ten years ago, so he was considered dead by the Irish authorities, even if he was stuck in Huntik alive and with good health - so Lok was entitled to a sixth of his patrimony - with half and a sixth belonging to his mother and another sixth to his sister - and several other necessary documents. Besides, she needed to talk to his mother and ask for advice in this situation. Who knows? Maybe Scarlet was in town and she could give her two cents as well.
Lok was already boarding on his plane. After showing his passport and plane ticket - the Foundation wouldn't let him use the jet this time - he crossed the passage to the plane where the air hosts greeted him and showed him his seat.
He looked at his watch. It was seven in Venice, which means it was six in County Kerry. The fight would take two hours and a half, and he'd be there at eight, local time, in Dublin. Then another hour from Dublin to the Kerry airport and he would be at home with her mother and sister by ten. His mother would most likely have a warm dinner for him. His sister would be asking for how going to university in Venice is like, they would trade stories. Then, he would let Cherit out in the night so he could stretch his wings. When Cathy went to bed, he and his mother could talk and he could ask for the advice he needed. The expertise of a mother and a seeker to help him sort his entire life.
Cherit peeked outside of the bag. No one was looking at them, so it was safe to talk.
"What on your mind, Lok?" he asked.
"It's just that..." he began "This is the first important mission under my command, and I'm screwing it."
"No you're not!" he argued "I mean, you found one of the Alliance's bases, a Nexus, and you're making progress on where their Head Quarters might be. I wouldn't say that is screwing it."
"Dante would have found it already..." he muttered.
"But would have he found the Nexus?" questioned the titan "I wouldn't be so sure. Finding the meaning of things that seem irrelevant to others is your expertise."
Lok patted Cherit. The gargoyle-like titan was always able to make him feel better. He then leaned back and slept for the rest of the trip.
Irish Countryside - County Kerry, Ireland
Cathy didn't take more than a few minutes of research to find the meaning of her visions. Typing on Google 'Ireland', 'Flying Castle' and 'Moon' gave her all the answers she needed. She was looking for Tír na nÓg.
She put the amulet on her neck and warned her mum she was going for a walk. It was eight and the sun was about to set. Perfect timing.
She arrived at the valley where the supposed castle of Tír na nÓg was. A cloud was covering the moon, so she saw nothing. But then, the wind started blowing. The clouds in the sky started moving and she began to see a few beams of moonlight starting to reach the surface of Earth. In a few moments, the entire moon could be seen with a clarity beyond explanation. And in the horizon, an island started appearing, hovering above Earth. A castle could be seen. It was Tír na nÓg, the legendary castle in the sky.
