Farewell   

When Lothur made up his mind, Elke and Annaliese opened their mouths in surprise, not really liking their husband's decision.

But Viktoria, Rebecca, and Anneke were happy that he finally made up his mind because they felt that with this decision, the child could have a journey full of adventures like his father and become a man like him.

Mabel shed tears when she heard it, for she knew she would also miss him and her daughters.

But she wanted him to continue growing, if possible, and not lose his potential at her side.

So Lothur explained what he had in mind. "My decision is to leave, but don't be fooled into thinking I won't be there for my son. I will leave him something that will allow him to have someone to confide in and be advised by, something that will keep me informed of his situation no matter where I am.

I won't be there physically, but he will see me and hear my voice.
