Beyond the Divorce

My father shook his head. "I need to get better as soon as possible. I want to help Atlas fulfill Louis's last wish and see if we can completely replicate those maps in my lifetime." "Those maps? You mean it's not just one map?" I looked at my father in confusion.

"Of course not. To be precise, there are six maps, one for each continent, excluding Wrekonia. We did send some people there, but the harsh environment forced us to abandon the mission.

"However, we continued to explore around the edges of Wrekonia. What those seven members did was remarkable, even when they had no communication among themselves.

"Atlas says he only knows two of them. He has no idea about the other five, which means their fate is uncertain. So, restoring the maps to their original state might be difficult," my father said with a grave expression, sighing softly.

"It would be best if we could retrieve the maps. It would save us a lot of trouble," he continued.

"Don't worry about it, Dad. Just focus on getting well. It doesn't matter if we mine those minerals or not. Your health is my biggest concern." I took his hand.

"You've suffered for so many years. Now you can live peacefully with me and Atlas. As long as you're here and healthy, that's all that matters."
