He took a deep breath and said, “Hi. I’m Mookie. This is Larkin.” Larkin squeezed Mookie’s hand again. I’m excited to wrap-up this story series because I feel like I found a satisfying ending for this tale. However, I am also sad about letting it all go for now. I love writing about Mookie and Grandpa. They are both so wise and kind. I love the friendship between Mookie and his best friend Larkin. I also love what Jemi and Sander bring to the team - their brains and focus. I love that color-changing baby Chromanian dragon, Baby, and, of course, I love Shamaya. Oh, and don’t forget Theadosa the chicken. I love everything about them all. But a story has to have an ending, and today I am sharing this one with you.
