Author's Chapter Notes:
Former Giant Queen Nonvor comes from her new home in the future, to see the newly built earthling colony cities in the fields near the palace.
“… Then she saw a man she liked, and he liked her, and so I took the guy
To the distant hills, and asked her help with something, which she gave a try.
She was able to perfect a one-time process, which can’t be repeated
On another person ever. Now my aging process has been cheated …

… I was thirty years your senior. Now my darling, you are only five
Years my junior. We can be together longer. I’ll still be alive.
I’m the only woman ever who’s been more in love with someone younger
Than her first of husbands, with a way to benefit from such a hunger…

… Kayte and Tennyce told me what you thought, which I can understand could stem
From the way things looked. But Stawmi, you should never fear a thing from them:
All those other would-be suitors merely hoped in vain. I swore allegiance
To your heart forever, in that court, to one true lover from these regions …

… When Duguda slandered our romance in open court, your words defied
Him to prove his allegations, and I hoped that I’d become your bride,
Just as soon as you were old enough. Yet all these years my apprehension
Was that you might fall for someone younger, maybe from your own dimension.”

“I’m so sorry that I doubted you. I wasn’t sure I really meant
Just as much as that in your heart. Then I overheard things wrong, and went.
You look lovely, but you always did. You didn’t need rejuvenation.
Six long years has only magnified my long maintained infatuation.”

“I was thinking of the future, when I’m eighty and I’d have to die,
Leaving you alone, and wishing I could stay. It always makes me cry.
Now we’ll age together. Kayte’s amazed to have a mother now so youthful.
I’m still getting used to all these years I’ve got ahead, if words be truthful.”

So they rode their amulet express, and she enjoyed her second lease
On her youth; while other partnerships continued on with lasting peace.
Giant Judge Admyra married Bryce, whom she had met while in Australia.
Nonvor briefly came to visit their time in her former queen’s regalia.

She had seen those earthling cities in the future time where she now stayed,
But was keen to go and visit, when such history saw them first be made,
By her daughter’s innovation. There were two fine cities to examine,
Which were closest to the palace, in the land where there would be no famine.

So Newtopia and Shangri-Large were briefly subsequently seen
By the former ruler of the land, an abdicated former queen.
She brought news of Friemann’s lasting health, and learned of Ambloome’s judging actions
To the ones who put that health at risk, committing worst of all infractions.

Ells-Bethe’s sister (named Camylla) now completely trusted earthling Britt.
They’d been married now, for quite a while. Camylla’s daughter now saw fit
To be visiting the colonies. The girl (Elizner) like her mother
Came to see an earth boy as a lad her kisses might well one day smother.
