First of all, I want to thank you every reader who stuck on until the 6th and final chapter. The chapter you are reading right now is the revised version of the original chapter I wrote. This chapter would be a bit longer compared to the original I wrote. The revision is done based on the feedback I received from my peers. You can find more about these in the Novel - Editing blog on my website or by clicking here.
Anyway, that you very much for reading my first novel. Please leave any comments down below. Enjoy The Finale of The Traveler readersss.
It is finally time for me to head to the iconic Empire States building to find and possibly finish my mission. I reached the castle right around the time people would catch the sunset. Ascending the tower gave me some shrivels and increased my eagerness.
“Ding!” The elevator chimed.
Steadily strolling out, I was greeted with another sensation completely different from what I am used to. A glowing shine of light kept the horizon visible. The never-ending view of skyscrapers and building covered the ground below. My satisfaction reached its limit. Tears of joy starts falling down my face.
“Even without the story, I wouldn’t complain. This is an adventure I would not have ever took. A step out of my comfort zone. An unforgettable experience.” I thought to myself.
Walking out on the balcony of the building, I saw a tall man. He stood there, in silence. Slowly approaching the man, I felt the chivalries go up my back. When I reached him, he looked at me and asked.
“How was it? Your journey.” He asked in a windless tone.
In confusion, I gave him a validating question back: “are you the author of the book?“
“Of course, why would anyone be waiting for you here?” He answered back.
Without any hesitation, I shot many questions towards him, “How did you plan out the whole route? Who are you? How did you know of my life? What is the next thing in the book?”
“I don't think those things are important right now, the most important thing right now is you! I didn’t bring you out of your mundane loop for you to look back and question it. Seeing you in that cycle of pain and boringness when there is the world out there for you to explore. Look back at your journey! Iceland and the recent New York! My answers wouldn’t satisfy you. The book wouldn’t satisfy you. What would, is the voyage ahead of you! You don’t think of ever going back to the repetitive series again, do you?” He lectured.
“Needless to say, no. You’re an eye opener to me, I now realize sunlight of the world.” I responded.
“Hmmm, that’s good to hear. To celebrate the next chapter in your book, why don’t you walk right around the corner and witness the sunset.” He replied.
Without any words, I strolled to the West side of the building.
Unexpectedly, there was a small piece of paper right around the balcony.
Inside it says:
“Wasn’t this a fun book to read? Are you satisfied with the adventure you just had? Isn’t this what you wanted, needed, something different? The answer to your goal and desire was right ahead of you, you just had to reach for it.”
“Now let’s turn to the next page of this chapter.”
