Vio woke to the man’s voice…Adam’s voice. Avigail told her his name the previous night, whispering in the dark as they started the small fire. She bolted awake almost immediately, and though she did not understand what he was saying she could sense the urgency in the tone of his voice. She sat up quickly and found the strange, handsome man staring at her. She had to resist the urge to straighten her hair. She blushed; her face still warm from the slightly erotic dream of him.

‘What must I look like, sleeping all night on a dirty floor,’ she thought, then stood and began to brush the dirt and grime from her cape. This world was strange. The building was strange…a building of metal, hard metal, like a sword.

Galen hopped to his feet, still shirtless and wrapped in Avi’s cape and said something to the stra…to Adam, then without hurry he bent and helped Avigail to her feet. Even in the darkness of the shed, Vio could see the flush of happiness on the girl’s face and she wondered if her own feelings were so transparent.

‘Adam,’ her mind said to her.

‘Adam,’ it repeated.

‘Adam.’

‘Adam.’

Vio shook her head in an attempt to regain control of her thoughts, mercifully Galen turned to her but before he could begin Adam interrupted him, the urgency even greater than before, and after he finished Galen turned back toward Vio.

“No…” Galen finally answered. “It is a…worker…a friend. Come, I cannot Travel yet, but I will show you where we need to go.”

They all stepped from the shed and out into the dawning day. The sky was quickly losing the purple-black cast and many of the fainter stars were no longer visible. Vio was shocked to find that the lights of the approaching vehicle were moving closer at an alarming pace.

“It’s a car!” Avigail said excitedly. “Vio there are thousands and thousands of them!”

Vio studied the approaching lights for a moment longer, intrigued, but then Galen reached out and took her hand. He smiled at her and Vio could feel the warmth coming off the young man and knew that Avigail was right in leading her here. This place, at this time, was where she belonged.

“I watched you. I’ve learned,” Galen said simply and then closed his eyes and Vio felt him instantly project; the power and simplicity of it shocked her. Still she closed her eyes and joined him just as quickly.

Galen’s projection smiled warmly as Vio appeared. He immediately led her off, back the way they’d come the previous night. They
