Chapter 656

The moon hung high in the night sky, casting a silvery glow over the island as Jude and Nefertari walked along the beach. The waves gently lapped at the shore, a soothing rhythm that matched their steady steps. They had come a long way since their first encounter with the Heart of the Island, and their journey had brought them closer to the island and to each other. Now, as they walked hand in hand, they felt a sense of peace and fulfillment.

Their conversation flowed easily, a blend of plans for the future and reflections on the past. They spoke of the children playing near the water's edge, their laughter a reminder of the joy and innocence that the island nurtured. "They're the future of this island," Jude said, his voice filled with warmth. "We need to ensure they inherit a world that's as beautiful and harmonious as possible."
