VENETIA: Back on Artemis
Chapter Forty-nine
The Pegasus rematerialized above Xanadu as Jim requested clearance to land.
The
same Amazons whom he had defeated and returned to Artemis now were greeting
him as
he arrived on Artemis. The great hangar opened to accept the starship as
she descended
to dock. The great ground beam switched on to hold the Pegasus as all systems
powered
down as the ship was switched to ground power.
Jim used the Box to exit the ship as soon as he landed and made his way
to the
queen's chamber. All the Amazons gave way to their king as he made his
way to the royal
residence. He had been in the room less than a minute and barely had time
to seat himself
and look comfortable before Isis arrived.
The palace was in a state of mass confusion trying to make sense of it
all as Isis
and the children materialized. Idiot requested a power down to run self
diagnostics and to
make self repairs. Jim granted Idiot that request as he switched the Box
to standby.
Powerless, he stood before Isis as she smiled at him. He smiled back.
The End

This marks the end of Venetia, but this is not really the end.
I am still in the process of writing Qblh, so if you reach the end, wait for the next episode, it should be available within a week of the last.
