Colors danced in the sky and she reveled in the feelings that flowed through her. Today was the day she would join with the other half of her soul. They would stand under the multicolored sky and they would be blessed for eternity.
The Memory Tree reached up into the ether to touch the stars and spin down the colors to honor their union.
For days she worried that the Memory Tree would not give them the blessing. If no color had painted the sky then they could not be joined.
As night fell the ooh's and ahh's from the gathered inhabitants of Elose was brought to a cry of wonder as the moon Meman rose bathed in color. This was something that had not happened since the time of the first Traveler. So this was to be a counted event in the book of the Travelers.
Sky stood there and stared out the window seeing the moon hanging low like a painted marble. She was The Traveler and she knew that tonight the war would be forgotten for a moment and they all would revel in the joy that Alex and she shared.
The people of Elose now knew that a human Traveler had been accepted by the council and now by the Gods and Goddesses of the realm. This was something that had plagued her since she came to Elose by way of Earth.
"Sky...are you ready?" a female voice floated to her ears and she slowly turned to see Alex's mother standing there smiling. She was so very beautiful with flowing blond hair to her ankles and bright blue eyes. She could see where Alex got his good looks from but not his coloring. His black as night hair and dark blue eyes mirrored his father's Haladin look, which was as exotic as she could imagine.
"I am...." she smiled at Filina and walked towards her.
Hope in her heart that the Tribe was able to stay away for this one night. No blood shed at her wedding. Please.
