When Carl got back to Archyon, he sat at the edge of one of the shallow lakes, gazing up at the flawless moons. The peace that cane with being on an uninhabited planet was terrifyingly seductive.
He had almost made it impossible for anyone else to come to the world by the time Kyubi gasped behind him after the tell-tale crackle of the portal opening echoed out and alerted him to her imminent arrival.
"Carl, this is beautiful..." He heard her move toward him, then her arms draped around him and he felt her press against him. "...Whatever you say, thank you for this at least."
"You're welcome, I've made it future proof as well so there are self maintaining buildings all over, including nurseries, bath houses etc. When the various fox spirits make their come back, they will be well equipped."
Her arms tightened around him. "Truly, I can't thank you enough Carl."
