The score board reads: The Universe 10, Atlantis, 2
Ash had worked on being calm. Garth had helped her learn to do that. She had learned more about doing that on her own and so she read the report while the three court mages who had been assigned this task watched her expression. There had been so many reasons for celebration. People were alive. Atlantis was saved.
But this didn't bring joy to Asherah Curry's heart. "Then you are certain of this," she asked looking up.
The first of the mages spoke. "We are sorry. We did everything we could my lady."
The next nodded. "If Atlantis had not been in turmoil when you first arrived things might have gone differently."
The last shook his head. "I am sorry but I can not let them give you false hope, Princess, I am certain without a measure of a doubt that the creature's magic cut off any way for us to follow your path back to your world. I do not think you will ever return home in this life time or the next."
She looked back down at the report again and suddenly felt she did not want to stay here. She suddenly felt a sharp lance of grief from hearing and reading everything given to her. She missed her true home.
"Thank you for trying. I must take my leave of you." She would
not break down in front of them. Instead she would retreat to the still damaged royal gardens and find something to hide behind. She was going to have a good cry because after everything that had happened this stung the worst.
She did not know though that the mages would feel duty bound to report this to Mera and Arthur. For Asherah is still a child an they feel the King and Queen would like to know what is happening in the life of their daughter from another world and that it seems she will never be able to leave.
