Title: The Undiscovered Country
Characters: Claudia, Nick, Ryan, Stephen and Sarah (only Sarah named)
Rating: U
Word Count: 100
Challenge: 338
Explanation: At the very end of The Seven Year Challenge in which Primeval gets horribly entangled with fairy land, Nick (after Jenny's death) meets up with Claudia, Ryan and Stephen on the edge of the "Sea of Life" and I wrote "The small grey boat floated on the vast sea, the pegasus and the dragon circling it overhead. It sailed out, over the horizon, and vanished from the knowledge of the fey." This was partly because my beta-reader wouldn't let me say "and no one ever saw them again" because she said that was too depressing and hinted too strongly that they were all dead.

So given the prompt was The Undiscovered Country from whose far bourn (as I recall my English lessons) no traveller returns, which is (again if I recall my English lessons) a metaphor for death, the following is probably inevitable.

Note though, that quite obviously no one is dead, it's just fairy magic. *Nods vigorously and eyes the pitchforks*
