Chapter 40: True Lies

Christopher Dawson

Adam greets me at the exit of the tunnel. I followed Mary’s energy, bits she left behind while Adam dragged her along. Never would I have predicted she’d lead me here, to this place, the meadow where Allison and I fell in love. This place is hallowed grounds for me—I haven’t been here in centuries.

Moonlight reveals enough to show me the meadow is in even worse shape than when I did last visit, to torture myself, to maybe find Allison. But then it became too painful. I can face the cave, where Allison and I grew life within Orion. My folly of leaving him unprotected when he needed me most, haunts me, but not as much as this place. This is where Orion was created, where Allison and my love first blossomed.
