When Aliens Weep: An Alien Apocalyptic Saga

Forbation stood silent. “You have me there, Sister.” He bowed to Baby and Echo who ran to Netty and Barney, their joy clear as a green light, the group cheering. “But you are mistaken if you think I can give you Navigator IV. She is not part of your family.”
Chloe smiled as she held out her hand to Ivey. Bonnie wiggled her way to the front of the crowd and knelt down. Ivey jumped to her side. “Last night Bonnie and Ivey were married by Netty. I was a witness. By the laws of our civilization, they are now married.”
“But they are both female,” sputtered Forbation.
“Yes, they are. And same-gender marriage had a long and storied tradition on Earth. Particularly in the United States where we are from. It was a long-fought-for achievement of our society.”
Chloe stepped forward to hold out her hand to Forbation. “I want to thank you for everything you have done for me and my child.”
Forbation paused then opened his arms to the pregnant Chloe. His aura caressed her mind. “Caesar was correct. You truly are The One. May you lead you lead your family to prosperity with your wisdom. We will be watching.”
The survivors made their way to the sphere that the Kreyven would swallow to ferry them safely to their planet.
Kenya approached the gelatinous mass, her neck back as she shouted to the beast. “I’m going to miss you, big guy.”
Forbation hurried forward. “Wait. Allow me to make a gift to your success. The Kreyven will not be returning. He is yours, young lady. May the Kreyven always serve you and your family well.”
Kenya turned to thank Forbation, startled by what she saw.
“Look!” The rest of the survivors turned at her exclamation. The sky was full of sudden illumination.
From one end of the horizon to the other, fluorescent glittering filled the sky as well as from the tears that slipped from Forbation’s remorseful eyes, a tribute to the emotions of the aliens toward the departing humans they so loved.
“Aliens weep, Father?” asked Maya.
“Yes, sweetie, it appears they do,” he responded as he wiped away the moisture from his own eyes.
Not a dry eye watched as Chloe’s radiant and tear-stained face turned toward the waiting Kreyven.
“It’s time.”
The One led her family of survivors toward the sphere, one hand on her abdomen, the other resting on the great neck of the magnificent Caesar. The rest of the survivors scrambled after her, excitement mixed with fearfulness but anticipation the most tangible.
Dezi poked his way through the crowd, his journal open, his writing instrument poised. “Chloe, wait. What will we call our new planet?” She turned to wave to the weeping minions for the last time, hope and wisdom shining in her overflowing eyes.
“Home, Dezi. We will call it Home.”
The End
To my readers,
Thank you all for coming on this journey with me. I honestly don’t believe this will be the last of the series. It is not easy to say goodbye to these characters who have become real people to me. I spend more time in their world than I do in my own.
As most of you know, the fortunes and success of a series rises and falls on the amount of readers’ reviews. The more reviews, the more Amazon will let others know of the books’ popularity.
If you have enjoyed the series and wish it success, I would be honored if you would leave me a comment regarding your feelings on amazon.com or the Amazon site of your country.
Thank you so much for sparing the time.
