His only light Druig

7

None of us would have ever thought about the dangers of the human evolution and development. The anger grew amongst the humans as we were all so focused on their survival against the deviants, we didn't even think we would have to focus on the survival amongst each other.

"My sweet cora come back to bed." I heard his raspy voice come from the bed we built and shared. It's been 100 years since we settled down here. I'm at the window that was carved into the wall, watching the stars peek through the trees above.

"Coming." I walk back to the bed in the barely lit room and lay next to him in his left side. His arm wraps around me and he pulls me in closer.

"Go to bed cora. Let your mind rest." I felt druig hold my lower back.

I let him fall back asleep and get back out. I slowly open the door and walk through the small village we created together. The cold air feels really nice and I walk to the river. I'm not not tired for some reason.

I sit at the edge and look up. I kind of miss everyone. It hasn't even been long only around 100 years, but I catch myself wondering if they are doing okay. I turn back and look at the village.

I don't regret a thing being here but I miss Ajak. I miss her brushing my hair and helping me. I also miss Thena helping me fight better, and sprites arguments with kingo. Also gils baking. I miss talking to different villages with sersi and I miss hearing about all the great advancements with phastos. I miss seeing what makkari has discovered. As much as ikaris and I butted heads towards the end, it didn't change the fact we were basically family for 7,000 years and not even a century later I haven't spoken to anyone.

I head back to room and climb into bed again.

"My love why can't you sleep?" Druig sat up when I accidentally woke him up by making too much noise.

"I was thinking about Ajak and Thena and sersi and Gil and well everyone." I said as I dig in his chest getting warm.

"I'm sure they are fine." He said.

"Yeah I wonder where they are right now. Like maybe discovering knew places around the world." I smile at the thought of everyone living their life.

"Sure cora." Druig said.

"It's only been 100 years maybe kingo finally found someone to match his ego." I laugh thinking about everyone. Druig chuckles and just nods.

"How about we get some sleep and talk more in the morning." Druig rubs his thumb on my back until I fall asleep.

"Cora Cora Cora!" I wake up quickly and look around the room to see the bed full of 3 little boys jumping up and down but the one farthest to the side jumps too high and misses the bed about to fall. My hand shoots up and catches him in the air.

"Oh my goodness don't do that, you could have been hurt hunny." I smile and the boy who is uncontrollably giggling being in the air. I look at the other two boys who had evil smiles on and jumped. My left hand went to catch them too and the entire room was full of the children giggling. I sit up on the bed still holding them in the air and I spin my index finger as they start to slowly spin. The giggles grew louder and the door opened. I slowly put the boys down on the ground safely and watch as they stumbled around coming to my legs and hugging me. I look at the door and see druig in the vest I made him. He was covered in dirt which was understandable, today they men where building more houses on the south side of the village for the next generation to have. I smiled at him and he leaned against the door.

"Cora Cora Cora can you come to the river later!" The middle little one asked. The one on the right side continued after him

"Please please please." They pouted their lips and puffed their cheeks out and I bent over to look at them.
