Han's first Love on
Creata
(Excerpt from
Preserving Creata, Chronicles of Han Storm, Book 1)
My point in reality started oscillating.
My consciousness could be many places at once. I allowed myself to see beyond
time and space as mortals knew it . . .
I was sitting in the cave on Kwailu, in
exactly the same spot I sat before when Drogt gave me his life-knowledge.
A shadow moved in front of the firelight
in the passage.
It took on form as it came closer.
I recognized the shapely legs before the
fire played across Mara’s beautiful face.
I stopped breathing, my heart constricting
with pain.
She averted her eyes as she glided up to
the platform and took a position opposite me.
I could not place her mood. She kept a
black cape tightly wrapped around her aura. Only a few shards of golden light
escaped where she had pulled it together in front of her.
I could not speak. For all that mattered,
I could have been carved from stone.
"If this is only a vision, let me not
wake from it" I begged her.
"It is a shared moment. I came to say
goodbye. There is another that needs your love, and you hers. It is time for
the young and adventurous to continue."
She raised her right hand and placed the
palm over the scar on my chest. It felt warm and very real. "I release you
from any perceived loyalties. You are free to pursue what you must. Go, have
peace. When you wake, your heart will be healed."
I placed my hands over hers.
Their warmth eased the intense pain I
felt.
She smiled at me.
Looking deeply into my eyes, the vision
dissolved to nothing . . .
