Into the Land of Immortals
Chapter Twenty-Three
Part 3
Giluchex felt his body shake as he waited for Terish and Straekin to break from a long passionate kiss. A strong desire to scream at the embracing couple filled him, but experience told him that he would be ignored. As soon as they came apart however, his body quivered as he released his anger.
"YOU HAVE SPOKEN TO MUNULVA!"
Straekin pulled her husband away from the water as she said, "Yes, a few times actually."
Giluchex could not prevent his voice from bellowing, "Why didn't you tell anyone?"
"Because you would have called me a fool, and I am no fool, Giluchex."
Giluchex realizes that once the treasure is gained that the work is not over.

...
Munulva now asked, "Straekin, to whom are you speaking?"
"This happens to..."
The masculine interrupted to say, "This is Councilman Giluchex of Davelda."
The Goddess said, "Ah, yes, I know of you. There are many, including Straekin, that prays for you. I however know that you are an evil selfish man. The submarine Ishthupo has just gained a reading from the remains of a submarine named Hintuldin. You did a wonderful job of secreting certain documents about the Beshard Bombing. The papers and data storage devices are still good."
"Empress?"
The voice of Straekin said, "I am certain that some historians are interested in those documents, Giluchex. It is over six hundred years later, and I will stand by my promise not to hold anyone accountable of actions of the war – even those that occurred slightly after certain agreements had been signed. If your constituents now vote you out of office, that is not my affair."
Declarations are made that resolve certain points.

Into the Land of Immortals
Chapter Twenty-Three
Part 1
Gulichex saw Terish moving out into the water, and left being next to Straekin to wade out with the man. Giluchex had no intent to swim out, but did plan to get some deeper water in an attempt to again gain some liquid in his container. He did not doubt that his efforts might again be wasted, but somehow agreed with Terish that others needed to at least recognize the extent of his willingness to succeed. As Terish began swimming, Giluchex readied his bottle to be set down in the water before removing the top. He stopped with the swimmer as Dathol's voice rang out from the shore.
"Wait! There is a boat coming!"
Giluchex had to turn back to shore to find in what direction to look. The perfect clarity of the water actually made it hard to see the white craft. It appeared as a very large downy feather moving upon a wind current. Even as it approached there appeared no sturdy structure to the craft. No timbers covered the light ribs. A fine layer of spines from the delicate supporting beams seemed to trap air providing the buoyancy for the craft. Seeing the large form of Vemishill guiding the vessel really did not give Giluchex confidence in the boat being able to support a substantial weight.
"Terish, Giluchex!" the deity yelled, "come on aboard. I will take you out."
With goals reached, those only watching finally feel a need to act.

Chapter Twenty-Two
Part 3
...
Giluchex asked, "Terish, could I just get water here at the shore? Would it be pure enough?"
The man turned from his work to say, "Sure. You were willing to get river water. What would make the water at your feet impure?"
The answer bolstered Giluchex's feelings, so he moved to fill the bottle by answering, "The ground, I guess."
"Dirchein's feet began hurting because they walked on the ground, Giluchex. The ground is divine. There is nothing to reduce the purity of the water."
Giluchex really did not understand why he had paused, but jerked his head up as his conscious mind realized what his subconscious had discerned. "Hold it. Are you saying that we could have gained water way back where we started?"
"Yes."
Reaching the objective often does not truly solve the reason for the travel.

Part 2
...
Considering that her response did not supply anything useful to the lad, Annalia added, "You were at the church, Venicht. Did you not pray for your mother and father?"
"Yes, but I felt Munulva was not listening."
"She was listening, Venicht. She is just usually silent. It is something that those of us of Davelda are used to."
The lad did not leave the room, but turned to move about. Annalia continued her knitting, although the needles would click when she lifted her gaze from them to check on Venicht. He had learned to be careful with reaching for any of the items put on display, because his interest would usually be followed with some lesson. Annalia actually thought that she was in the mood to listen to him practice the scales on some instrument, so watched hoping he would pick one of them up. What she heard instead caused her to put the knitting down.
"The rock, Annalia! The rock is black."
Events are moving towards the conclusion.

Into the Land of Immortals
Chapter Twenty-Two
Part 1
...
Terish said, "We have forded some streams, Giluchex. Have you felt it helping you?"
It annoyed Giluchex that the man had spoken. The question from Straekin needed answering, and Giluchex felt a need to first respond to her. The question from Terish did not have importance, and did not help. Ignoring the man was the first thought from Giluchex, but he saw his empress turn her focus upon her husband. That frustrated Giluchex, causing him to turn to the man and shout.
"DAMN IT, TERISH! Will it help? I told Cheshine that I was going out to help her. Well, is this the answer?"
Straekin asked, "Not your wife?" even as Terish asked a more practical question, "How are you going to bring it back?"
Giluchex took the metal bottle he had been using as a canteen and dumped the contents as he said, "Here. I am going to use this."
Straekin advised, "Giluchex, we were told that we could not drink any water served from a container."
"I am not talking about us. I won't drink the damn stuff myself. I am talking about Cheshine. I am talking about my wife. Will this stuff help them?"
Giluchex begins to face the reality that actual answers might be available.

Part 3
...
Dirchein looked at Terish strangely, as it was unusual for him to alter his path of speech. She had always known him to be very clear-headed. As quick as his responses and speech could be, a feeling that he had considered every word always accompanied his statements. Getting over his unusual action, Dirchein considered his question and spoke her answer.
"Not really. I have had to learn so much from you, Ferrigote, and Straekin."
"I don't believe having further memories from that past would help you. I am not saying that those people whose body parts and spiritual energy went into your design did not know anything useful, but they did not bias your personality either. You don't have my fear, Dirchein. You don't have my attitude. Ferrigote has had none of the problems from you that he had with me. Truthfully, that makes you a better person than me."
Dirchein appreciated what he said, but would not allow the man to discredit himself. "I am not a better person than you, Terish. You have done so much."
"Yes, but most of it I did with Ferrigote. Stay with him, Dirchein."
Dirchein's situation gets resolved.

...
"Uh... well." Straekin's voice suddenly boldly asked, "Terish, sorry to interrupt, but exactly how did you and Ferrigote become immortal?"
Her husband replied, "It was part of the first major rite in our church. I believe it was something added to the consecration ceremony, but I remember them using a lot of incense and water."
Ferrigote added, "Yeah, my beard was dripping with water when we got zapped by lightning."
Giluchex voiced his disbelief, "Lightning?"
"Yeah. Terish and I came out stuttering as we continued to thank Fergush. It was nice enough for Fergush to say we were immortal, but after that ceremony there really was not any doubt in our minds."
Giluchex received the impression that Straekin knew about the events as she asked, "But there was a ceremony with priests? So there was a ritual. It could thus be done again."
Giluchex finds himself confronting more of the facts that had been around him all along.

Into the Land of Immortals
Chapter Twenty-One
Part 1
Dirchein felt very uncomfortable as she walked through a small stream that branched off from a larger flow of water. She found her feet to hurt. Truthfully, her whole body felt very uncomfortable. While the words of her husband were true about managing to resist any attempt by the perfect visions and aromas of the things around her to entice her to eat or drink, the minor pains of her body had her seeking something to provide relief.
It did not help her to hear the others in the group speak of how easy the journey had been. She had heard of the difficulties that most of those present had endured in order to rescue her. Waking up to a group of people concerned for her welfare, and one man working to stay close and provide personal comfort, created a strong sense of attachment. The fact that those she considered friends had continued to be supportive intensified her feelings to not cause these people problems. It thus hurt her to desire to complain while they spoke only of their comfort, but one man had stressed his personal attachment to her and she trusted him enough to speak to him.
"Ferrigote, darling, I hurt."
He stopped to ask, "Did you get something between your toenails?"
"No, Ferrigote, I hurt. Inside. My feet hurt, but my body hurts as well."
No, I did not have Dirchein cry in a heavenly realm, but her pain is real.

Into the Land of Immortals
Chapter Twenty
Part 3
...
The group stopped and looked at what appeared to be a pack of wolves. The conversation shifted to whether the predators actually hunted the animals seen earlier. Dathol mentioned that such natural actions should occur, but without a daily drive to feed they probably only rarely went on the prowl. None argued with the holy man, but the conversation shifted as all noticed that the predators clearly displayed recognition of being watched, although made no actions of attacking or being disturbed.
Turning from the predators, the group began looking to the plants. They spoke of the harvest being taken in upon their arrival, then wondered if such occurred daily. Giluchex noticed that he was not the only one that recognized the plants in the garden still being alive. He listened as the group wondered about the process of making the garden, as the plants removed were surely of the same eternal substance as everything else.
Suggestions were made to pick some flowers, or otherwise do something very minor that would still be a permanent destruction of life in the physical realm. Giluchex felt that such an action would help prove to him that he was in some strange paranormal reality. The fact that none committed the suggested acts caused him to consider that they did not actually believe certain assumptions.
Giluchex begins to face the reality of his situation.
