PrologueA Chapter by AleyshaRosaI hovered mid-universe and watched the stars drift, the planets move in their ever changing patterns, my mind in a different galaxy. My hair floated around my figurine body and face as if under a pool of water. Gentle ripples curled through the long tendrils of my hair in a vibrant, content cobalt blue. The freckles that spattered randomly over my body had the same appeased gesture. Toes pointed and skimming the atmosphere of a planet unknown, the magnetic forces were strong and pulled at me greedily. I resisted and laughed. Music notes drifted from my mouth, the stars giggled at my beautiful laughter bouncing and echoing off planets and coming back like boomerangs. My hair flitted happily. Pushing with my arms and floating on nothing in nowhere, my mind danced in circles around idea’s floating and shifting in my head. My heart thumped slowly, breathlessly, calmly. I brought my hand gracefully through empty space and left lines of diamonds that shimmered with every movement of my finger. “Diamond…” His echoing, velvet voice interrupted. “Ruby…” I smiled. “Sapphire…” I am every gem. Jasek called again. “Amethyst…” I am every gem shining in the sky. “Copper…” I replied. He is everything strong. Pushing and swimming in gravity, leaving waves of sound behind me, I flew in silence toward him. I could see the red trail of diamonds left behind as he flew coming into focus and I knew he was close. At the sight of Jasek, my heart spiraled, twirled in a whirlwind sparkling with joy. I spun in purple diamond circles. “Jasek…” I breathed. “Natasakay…” He whispered in reply, his arms outstretched toward me. I pulled closer to him. Holding me tightly and kissing my hair, he whispered in my ear almost too quiet to hear, “Never will I be gone too long, my dear.” In our sacred dialect he whispered this a thousand times, repeating it over and over and over. Then he kissed my nose lightly and sealed his never-to-be-forgotten promise. © 2012 AleyshaRosaReviews
