My Journey Back into the World of Inkheart

I landed in the meadows and watched everyone working on the hills below. It made me realise how different the world of Inkheart is compared to the world I just returned from – how everyone, even the workers, seem so happy; how open and free this wold is.  All my memories of Shadowland flooded back to me, mostly memories of my family and I playing in the meadows, or teaching my children Dragon’s Breath. Then I saw her. My heart stopped. I watched her closely as she gathered flowering daisies. It was my wife, Roxanne! Barely containing my excitement, I stumbled and tripped down the ragged hills right into my wife’s arms. I am so ecstatic to be home at last. For years I searched for Inkheart and for Mo, and now finally all of my hard work has paid off.

Roxanne and my children are thrilled to see me, and I feel much the same way.  At the moment, all I want to do is return home and carry on with my regular life in our little lean-to with my family, working as a fire thrower in the town square. I don’t think I can do that though. Something inside of me is telling me that the danger is not gone; that something or someone is going to attack. This time I will be prepared. I will not leave anyone in my family behind. I will not the same mistake I made with Resa, Mo and Meggie.
