“He found what?” Kuó asked.
Moka jumped down inside the box, and a moment later
scurried back out holding another gold ring in his small hand. He
put it on his finger, and held up his hand high into the air. He
chattered again to Viviana, who then translated, “Moka says this
must be the ring Tital promised to him. It even fits his small
finger. Now, he knows why he joined the crew to explore new
places and discover new things for his tribe.”
“Come on, let’s find the portal door back to Earth,” Tital said
as he took the leather reins from Bardala, “Good work, Moka.
We would have missed finding that ring, if not for you. Wear it,
and may it always protect you.”
The next door had the carving above it that Jonathan took a
picture of with his Canon digital camera.
