As I stepped into the shuttle, the interior was bathed in a soft, ambient light, the controls subtly humming with energy.
Thillak was already in the pilot’s seat, his fingers dancing over the console with ease.
He glanced up, his eyes locking onto mine.
The depth of emotion in that gaze held the promise of eternity, a silent vow that we would face whatever challenges lay ahead together.
Without another word, Thillak initiated the shuttle’s engines.
The familiar hum filled the cabin, and within moments, we were airborne.
As we soared higher, the landscape below turned into a vast mosaic of colors and patterns.
The sensation of flight, the sheer thrill of it, was exhilarating.
Drawing in a deep breath, I allowed the events of the day to wash over me.
The revelations, the threats, the love, and the promise of a shared future — all of it was a heady mix.
But at that moment, soaring above the world with Thillak by my side, I felt invincible.
The journey ahead was uncertain, filled with potential dangers and challenges.
Yet, as the horizon stretched endlessly before us, I couldn’t help but feel hopeful.
After all, love had brought us together across lifetimes, and love would see us through.
Wouldn’t it?

THILLAK
The hum of the shuttle’s engines provided a gentle, ambient soundtrack as we cruised through the vast expanse of space.
The cockpit was bathed in the delicate light emanating from the various displays and buttons, casting an almost ethereal glow that softly illuminated Isla’s face.
Her beauty seemed magnified against the canvas of stars, planets, and nebulae that streamed by outside the window.
I tried to break the silence with a quip. “So, who would’ve thought that space traffic would be so much smoother than planetary side?” I gave her a wink, trying to ease the tension.
But Isla seemed miles away, lost in thought as she stared into the void of space.
The faint reflection of her eyes on the window pane held a myriad of emotions — confusion, fear, anger, and more.
“I know it’s been… overwhelming,” I started, searching for the right words. “But we’ll get through this. We always have.”
She turned to face me, her gaze intense. “Before all of this, Thillak, my life was simple. I had a routine, a purpose, and now…” her voice trailed off, the weight of our predicament pressing down on her. “It was peaceful, and I liked it that way.”
A rush of emotions swelled within me.
Was she blaming me for what we’d been through?
I suppose it was my fault in a way.
If I had never seen her face, never known she was destined to come to Ikmal, I never would have Claimed her, and none of this would have happened.
But then equally bad things would have happened to her.
