The Lighthouse at the World's End

It is a bittersweet thing to see a story end. Whilst it is satisfying and delightful to see how it all ends, it is also sad to be farewelling these characters we have been travelling with for the past four years, and I am glad to have been part of Nine’s journey, and have loved every minute of it. * Ashleigh Meikle *
