The summer day was bright and hot. A wind from the south pushed up her summer dress’s skirt to almost a risqué level. Ama’s laughter rang out across the green knee high, soft, tufted marsh grass. She waved out to a familiar figure of her Jrax as he spoke softly to a small bundle in his arms.<br/><br/>“Jrax! Come back here with her!” She called out, the happiness in her voice evident, and Jrax turned back towards her, a content smile upon his face. Then as if a picture glass fell from a great height upon the floor, the world around them fissured. A soft crying could be heard for just a moment, and both of them were gone from her sight.<br/><br/>Only she stood in an inky blackness so dark she could not see. Nor could she breathe. A fact that sent her hands up to her throat to claw at it trying to draw breath. Only when she fell forward did she feel that it was a dark surface upon which she stood, and realized she was in her ecosuit, where her helmet had closed around her to slowly start pumping in air.<br/><br/>The bright dots of the stars filling in the darkness around her, as the surface upon which she stood rumbled uneasily. As she spun slowly with the slight gravity holding her down, a large dark world that seemed to be writhing all along the surface appeared before her eyes. It neared a bright blue orb that seemed to glow with life.<br/><br/>She breathed in shallow panting gasps of panic as she saw that the two massive stellar bodies were going to collide, sending shock waves that would obliterate both worlds and nearly everything else  within the vicinity. The tides upon the surface of blue world raising to atmospheric heights the closer the other dark planet got. Just in the last moments when she knew they were going to collide, the dark planet broke apart into jagged pieces and the writhing increased along the surfaces of the fragmented pieces, and the blue world winked out of existence.<br/><br/>“Jrax’eer!!”  She cried out as the scene shifted once more to him standing before a large grouping of Dracolexi upon her homeworld, her genetic kin holding up their hands in supplication. It was too hard to make out what was being said, but she tried to run to his side, only to be held back by Ellorion hands.<br/><br/>“No, let me go! We have to be together! We have to unite all of us… we are all the Goddess’ children… we will die!!” She yelled as she tore at her captors’ hands. Painfully, she finally got away and began running towards them, as war broke out. She just had to make it to his side… it would be okay so long as she made it to his side. It was what would unite them.<br/><br/>The world beneath her feet shifted away on a crazy tilt, and once more she stood on the surface in space watching the dark world’s approach to her own planet, and mirrored it coming to a planet she knew instinctively was Jrax’s homeworld. Once more she saw the darkness split apart and worlds wink out, and she screamed.<br/><br/>Ama breathed heavily, trying to filter through the images her brain had just produced in a realistic and terrifying nightmare. She shook so hard her muscles felt on fire from the exertion. Her throat was raw from the screams she had produced in the process of waking. Jrax’eer’s name still felt heavy upon her lips as the door to his quarters slid open to his partially transformed shape looking for the danger.<br/><br/>She did not recoil from the sight, despite it being something that should have produced fear. Instead, tears of relief began to flow down her face. If he spoke, she did not hear him, only slightly reached out towards him to be taken into his protective embrace. She wrapped herself about him and clung to him tightly as the cold tendrils of fear slowly wormed their way out of her body.<br/><br/>“You’re okay… you’re okay…” she murmured in almost undecipherable gibberish next to his ear. “I couldn’t…” she began but did not finish, only able to pull him closer to her form and breath in his unique scent. In this moment, all that mattered was that he was safe, and warm within her arms.<br/><br/>“I had a horrible nightmare. I… felt as if I had lost you and… another that belonged. All of it… all the galaxies, the universe was… oh goddess.” She tried to get out in an explanation to him, but simply held him so tight it was a wonder to her he could breathe comfortably. It was this thought running through her mind that finally got her to loosen her hold and pull back to look into his eyes.<br/><br/>Her mouth found his in a desperate act of final confirmation of his living status. She needed to feel him respond to it, as she knew he always would, to feel that pull and release of their souls touching. Slowly the trembling decreased and her kiss became less demanding, less needy. She felt the balm of his touch trickle into hers, and slowly pulled back. She colored once more, but did not apologize for the sudden kiss.<br/><br/>It was only then that she noted his hair was firmly grasped by her fingers to keep proper purchase on his head. She bit her lower lip softly, a smile appearing beneath his steady, if wondering gaze. She contemplated kissing him again, but wavered in uncertainty. “ … more?” she asked him gently, then shook her head some to clear the distracting thoughts.<br/><br/>“I… this was like the dreams I was having before we met, only more powerful… Jrax, something horrible is coming.” She told him in a soft whisper and waited for him to speak or act before saying anything more.
