Tiger Lily took her final step onto the mountain and what did she find? Nothing.
The indian girl had previously rushed to Luna’s lair, east of Neverland, upon witnessing the death of Peter and Wendy. It took her 4 days and nights on foot to reach the house in which the witch lurked. When she arrived, the woman was already waiting for her.
The gloom of the horizon still bore the loss of Neverland’s heroes. Chanting through her crystal ball, Luna saw everything – the death of Starkey, Smee, Captain Hook, Tinkerbell, Peter Pan and Wendy. She also knew about Tiger Lily’s vow to kill Demitrios, and that Lily was on her way to her lair to steal a talisman.
“Tiger Lily!” called Luna to the woods. “reveal yourself and the talisman is yours to keep.”
Lily came out tired and bruised from her journey; surprised about being expected.
“You can not do it” Spoke Luna to Lily’s surprise. “He is greater than any man or woman in Neverland. I have seen your future. You will suffer the same fate as Peter if you decide to take vengeance to heart. Pan’s death should not be your burden”
But Lily was certain it was to be hers. She explained to Luca that nothing would prevent her from taking Demitrios’ head. Luca offered her another answer.
“I would like to offer you another answer.” Luca said as she pointed to a mountain in the horizon. “In the middle of Neverland is the Neverpeak mountain. Climb it and there you shall find Demitrios’ executioner.”
Heeding the advice of the witch, Tiger Lily climbed the dreaded mountain. She reached it’s peak after 3 more days and nights, all to a disappointment. The indian girl found nothing. There was only snow, land, more snow, a couple of birds, a couple of plants, and nothing else. Feeling like a fool and thinking that her last days had all been but one lost journey, Tiger Lily wept.
It was then that a familiar voice spoke from behind her.
“Why are you crying?”
