Chapter 20: Daybreak
We are closing to the end and Luce must say goodbye to everyone she holds dear to journey to “the unknown” with (of all people) Mr. Cole. Luce won’t be around for the burial of Penn so she mutters her goodbyes on the alter of the church. Daniel promises to bury her as soon as possible. Luce wants to make sure he knows where to bury her so they sneak into the cemetary, which is crawling with policeman trying to figure out what actually went down in the battle the night before. All that remains as evidence is a thick layer of dust. Luce shows Daniel the stone where Penn’s father is buried and tells him to bury her there. She is upset about the tragic turn of events. Daniel does’t want to upset her further, but it is time to set off to another beginning. He flies her to the lake (yes, angels have wings), where they kiss and sadly, say their goodbyes (and until next times). They eventually make their way over to a small plane where Mr. Cole will be taking her to an island to keep her safe.
Think about it:
What is Cam’s certain type of
warfare that leaves such a thick cloud of dust everywhere?
Mr. Cole surprises us by
being the one to take Luce away; how much does he know (has he been on it from
the beginning or someone who just figured it all out)?
Epilogue: Two Great Lights
The epilogue is almost as
short as the prologue, starting off with just shapes and descriptions before we
can’t put names to the characters.
Daniel sits on the rafters of a cabin, watching Luce sleep below. He invites Cam in for a chat and the two
strike up a truce. They shake hands,
while Luce slumbers.
Think about it:
Why does Cam want Luce?
As a whole, how did you like Fallen?
