Tommy said, ‘Zheng He, thank you, otherwise our voyage would have been ended in devastation.’
‘It was at least I could have done in return for your kind hospitality.’ Zheng He replied.
Over the following weeks, Zheng He became more familiar with Tommy, Joe, Tim and Tom. Their
friendship was growing from deeper and deeper. Their journey was drawing to an end. All the places they
planned to visit had been ticked off their list. Zheng He also slowly found that the gate-like whirlpool had
been on the sea. He understood that he had come to this world because of the disorder of time and space.
He told his partner, ‘ In fact I have come from another world, and now I have to go back. I hope you can
continue to take risks. Tommy, you can be a better Captain.’
‘Goodbye everyone!’
‘Goodbye, Zheng He!’
Then Zheng He jumped down into the whirlpool…The next day, Zheng He returned to the reality and lay
on the ship of his friends. They continued their voyage.
