Vivian

She took my breath away. That was the simplest way I could think of to describe my reaction to her. At first sight, I thought she was a man. She seemed to me to be as tall as Terrox and nearly as muscular, her skin glowed in faint purple embers, and her hair was long and glistened like silver diamonds.

“Who are you?” Terrox breathed.

I could tell from his voice that he was as shocked as I was, if not more so. The woman stepped into the light, and I saw her beautiful purple eyes fall on me. I felt as though she were looking right into me, reading my deepest, darkest secrets.

“I am Zora-El,” she answered. Her voice was deep and sensuous.

She could have been anywhere between forty and four hundred, and I wouldn’t have been able to tell. Her clothes looked to be made from rough tree bark, woven around her body in thick strips that revealed her arms, legs, and parts of her muscular stomach. She was twice my size and three heads taller, but something told me that she meant us no harm.

“Zora-El,” Terrox repeated. “The name is unfamiliar to me.”

“As it should be,” Zora-El replied. “I was never one for notoriety.”

“I don’t understand,” Terrox said, taking a step closer to her. “What are you doing here on Earth?”

She smiled, and I knew instinctively that she wasn’t just going to give Terrox the answers he wanted simply because he’d asked.

“I am fulfilling my sacred duty,” she replied cryptically, without offering up any more information.

“And you’re not going to tell me what that is?” Terrox asked.

“You have not earned that right yet,” Zora-El replied.

“How long have you been on Earth?” Terrox asked.

“I came to Earth many centuries ago,” Zora-El replied. “Close upon ten centuries ago now.”

“A thousand years,” I said and, my voice seemed to echo across the cave. “You’ve lived a thousand years?”

“Oh, I’ve lived much longer,” Zora-El replied. “But I have spent a thousand of those years on this planet.”

Terrox glanced over at the sleeping gnosee. “She came to you?”

“She did.”

“Why?” Terrox asked.

“Because she was the force Acra-Ryn told me about,” I said, before Zora-El could speak. “Acra-Ryn came to Earth to find you, didn’t she?”

Zora-El smiled. “She has told me a lot about you, Vivian, daughter of Earth.”

“She has?”

“To earn a gnosee’s trust is a high honor,” Zora-El told me. “They are creatures who don’t trust easily.”

I glanced at Terrox and saw his frown deepen. He realized, just as I did, that we had walked in on something far greater than we had expected. Of course, the consequences were much more significant to Terrox than to me, but I was involved now, and that made me care.

“You must be hungry,” Zora-El said. “Luckily, I prepared for guests.”

She turned and walked into the shadows that she had first appeared from. I realized that the crevice hid an opening covered by nettled vines that led into another cavern. I glanced at Terrox, who looked tense and determined all at once.
