With nothing happening, Noah didn’t wait nearly as long as he did at the peak of the lighthouse. Frowning, he rolled the map back up after a few minutes and went back towards Hadama. He had to partially shift to use bear eyes to see better in the darkening night. Crouching next to the shore, Noah handed the map back to the merking and gave him an apologetic shrug. ”Home.” Noah said, smiling some. ”I’m interested to know if you learn anything else from this map. Write me?”
He then placed his hand in his pocket, thumbed his compass, and disappeared from before Hadama. Within a blink, Noah reappeared in Halo. He then used his magic to appear in front of his home, still wet from the sea, and found his wife curled up asleep in front of the fire, rubbing her belly subconsciously.
