“Dex?” someone said.

I didn’t really want to move. Not yet. My body was still in too much pain from the lightning.

“Dex, wake up. You’ve got to see this.”

I let out a groan. I was pretty sure it was Megan talking, which was great, because it meant she was okay. But I really did want to just rest for a while.

Yet I was curious about what it was I had to see. So I hauled my aching, weary body into a seated position and looked.

The island was up to its old tricks again. Where we used to be on the edge of the lightning field, now we were on the edge of a sandy white beach. The waves were gentle, and the sun was bright and warm again, and there were even seagulls calling to each other as they hovered in the air.

If it wasn’t for the lingering pain of my burns and the way my nerves seemed to vibrate, I might have believed that the whole lightning storm thing had been no more than a dream.

It was incredible to see.

Even more incredible, Megan was also sitting up, right next to me, and looking at me with an almost predatory expression, the burns on her face and shoulder already largely healed.

“So. When can we have sex?” she said.

I laughed out loud, but it was all I could do to lean close and place a gentle kiss on her forehead. “Soon. Maybe tomorrow, if you’re up to it. If I’m up to it as well. For now, maybe we should both rest for a bit. Let our burns continue to heal.”

Megan nodded as if in agreement, but was still obviously entranced by the ocean. “I can’t think of a more fitting place to become a goddess,” she said. The sunburst hazel color of her eyes sharpened to settle on Yua, who was seated in the lotus position, facing the both of us. “You’re free to become one with me, if you like.”

To my delight, Yua didn’t shoot her down. The lady monk almost seemed to nod. “We will see,” she said. Then she studied Megan for a moment. “Although, perhaps first, you will let me cut some of your hair. The lightning has damaged it somewhat, although mostly at the ends. Almost half of it still looks fine.”

Megan’s mouth dropped open. “My hair?” She reached up to feel the once silky strands. “Only half though, are you sure?”

Yua nodded. “I think I can make it look good again, if I cut it down to about chin length.”

The redhead swallowed. “I can deal with that, I guess. My ends will be extra curly with all the weight off. As long as I don’t have to shave it.”

Glancing at Yua, I worried she might take offence to the blatant insult to her own hairstyle, but ever the saintly soul, the lady only smiled and shook her head.

“I’ll even give you some bangs. It will be super cute. I’ve tried many hairstyles in the past few hundred years.
