Camp Silverwater

Me and Tara finally made it back to Camp Silverwater. Although we're disappointed that we still haven't found any iron ore, we still have our hopes up for when we go searching for some tomorrow.

"Well, another day of searching and still nothing," I said.

"All we can do is keep trying," Tara replied.

"Yeah, I know," I said. "I guess tomorrow we should try searching on the other side of the river."

"We may as well," Tara replied. "Maybe we'll have better luck."

The moon and stars were shining brightly through the dark sky.

"That's a pretty bright moon out there tonight," I said to Tara.

Tara brushed herself up against me. "It's so pretty."

"It just makes me wonder," I said. "What world are we actually in?"

I knew we were in some kind of a future time, but what about the world? Are we still in the same world as Willow Creek, or did the portal take us to some completely new world far into the galaxy?

"I don't know, Ricky, but maybe one day we'll find out," Tara replied.

"Well, we better go get some rest," I said. "We got another big day of searching for iron ore ahead of us tomorrow."

"Race you to the bedroll!" Tara replied as she ran for the barracks.

"Hey!" I shouted. "That was unfair!"

Tara laughed.

Well, I'm just getting ready to pass out. Tara fell asleep a little while ago, and I've been awake just thinking about things. I'm hoping that we'll finally find some iron ore tomorrow, or else we'll have to head back to Felicia and gather the iron ore around there.
