Sailing into the West

The Minbari said he went to sea. That was as good an explanation as he could have come up with himself. No one would really understand.

Lorien sat beside him in the small ship.

“You will take your place with us, Valen, Minbari not of Minbar. We await many more, but today, we await you.”

Valen felt lighter than he had in many long years, since he was a boy back on Mars.

“You have served with wisdom. Zathras did his job well. The others will join us one day.” Lorien smiled his mysterious smile and Valen felt complete peace.
