Odin And A Statue

"The Chapter Ends."

Kormt;

is almost two hundred years old;
has a long beard;
wears a hat and dark blue clothes;
carries a long staff -

- and thus resembles Time Patrolman Carl Farness who resembles Odin.

A statue of a dancing girl in a fountain recalls a similar statue seem by Dominic Flandry on the planet Brae. Since lovers have been wont to meet at the fountain, Jorun irrationally wonders how lonely the girl will be in the millions of years to come.

I imagine a further future when human beings and Hulduvians have learned how to harmonize their mental wavelengths so that the former are able to return to Earth. That would be a further synthesis following the antithesis of a Galaxy divided between the two civilizations.
