…A cheer erupted from the Gilded Horizon. Elias sagged against the ravine wall, the adrenaline draining from his body, leaving him weak and trembling. He looked at the ancient stone tablet, now carefully secured below deck, and then out at the retreating pirate ships. The adventure had been more than he could have ever imagined. The riches were not of gold, but of understanding. And the true horizon, the gilded one he had always sought, was not a destination, but the journey itself, the choices made, and the person he had become.
