A few weeks later Demeter had completely healed. Ptolemy was depressed about her leaving, she had been such a close friend in the last few weeks. She knew all about him, about his divorce, his loss of his children, and how empty his life had been. She also knew about his joy, the energy he got from helping another person heal. There was a knock on the door, it was Demeter.
She wisped inside the room. "I am sorry my dear friend Ptolemy...but it is now time for me to go...I must find the others."
"I know." he responded,"That's why I'm going with you."
"WHAT!"
"I don't have anything here, the other doctors can take care of this place while I'm gone. And you shouldn't have to walk alone."
"Oh Ptolemy...." she said as she smiled, "Thank you."
Ptolemy had given her one of the only gifts she had ever wanted, someone to walk with.
"Lets get going Demi. We've got a lot a world to cover..."
