They continued following Singhen, their headlamps their only light reflecting off the frozen walls formed by centuries old eruptions. Unlike other lava tubes Wil had read about, the terrain of this tunnel was level, not rugged, no large rocks formed by scarlet red magma cooled to shapes and color combinations that seemed unearthly. This tunnel appeared man-made.

When Singhen finally signaled a full stop, Wil's digital wristwatch displayed six o'clock in the evening. They had reached an opening. A large cave formed by multi-hued frozen magma.

"A blue ice cave," Singhen explained. "Millenniums ago, a waterfall fell victim to an earthquake and volcano eruption. The earth beneath the waterfall's basin opened. Searing red-hot melted rock boiled the clear blue cascading water. The boiling water dripped through, instantly cooled and froze mid-bubbling, forming the stalactites and strange rock formations you see above you."

Singhen moved further into the cave, stopped and pointed up. "Look," he ordered everyone.

Above them, a wide shaft rose for a mile up, giving a clear view of a darkening sky filled with twinkling pinpoints of stars.

"We'll camp here tonight." Singhen said. "And I promise you, this evening, a dazzling show."

Wil understood he meant that the Aurora Borealis would fill the sky above the aperture, its thousand shades of blues and greens, among the reds and purples, seep through and fill the cave with a marvelous display, a dazzling show as the colors reflected off the ice blue walls.

That night, zippered snugly in his sleeping bag, Wil dreamt of the colors. In his dream, he found the courage to place his arm around Audrey who sat beside him. She responded by snuggling into the crook of his arm. He lowered his head and she gazed into his eyes. She welcomed his kiss. As dreams will do, suddenly the setting changed, and they were in each other's arms, clothed only by the intense swirling colors, their emotions as intense and in control. What caught his gaze as she caressed his cheek tenderly, was the golden ring on the fourth finger of her left hand. It glowed like the sun itself. Unbidden, the words formed on his lips. "My soul mate, my wife, forever, through time and eternity."

He woke, his body drenched in perspiration, his heartbeat drumming wildly in his chest. He shook his head trying to clear it. Took deep breaths and freed himself of the sleeping bag.
