The Return of Hope and the Revelation of the Missing

[hopeburnsbright]

Traveling from Odym, the home world of the Blue Lanterns, to Earth was a familiar route and one that Avalon navigated with ease. His heart raced with joy - he had been away from Earth for several weeks but now he was on his way home. The Guardians no longer needed his service at the Battery, and Avalon had been allowed to return to his previous assignment - Earth's sector of space.

Arriving in a flood of blue light, the Lantern came to land in the backyard of what had come to be his home, and headed inside the house. Was anyone home? Avalon didn't know.

"Hey guys?" he called out, from the door.
