“I shall give you very long lives,” Alee’an said, her body shifting to that of a human woman but with butterfly wings, large and iridescent in pinks, blues and purples. “My mage and My guardian. I charge you in return to remember Me. To speak My name to your children. To spread My name to those you meet. To give Me honor. In return, I shall bless you, and you shall be above all others to Me.”
Alee’an looked up suddenly, again as if something had caught her attention. “Hello, Father,” she said, and disappeared.
Neeka and Gehan were left alone in the dark, peaceful night, staring at the place the new goddess had been.
“Do you suppose she’ll be true to her word?” Neeka asked, leaning in close to him.
“I don’t know. And I don’t care. We’re alive. We’re together. And we have at least one lifetime. I say we take advantage of every second.” He pulled her close, kissed her deeply. When he lifted his head, his eyes sparkled. “Maybe we should get started on those children now.”
Neeka’s laughter rang through the trees, filling the remains of the circle.
