Excerpt
Queen out of her slumber, Nana knew that she had to do something to help pull Alexa out of this state.
She had no idea that Anak would ever try to follow her to Earth. It wasn’t something she thought was
even possible for him to do. She had a hard enough time as it was keeping the portal open with the
strength of Rasmiyah and the other High Arc spirits helping her. When it finally snapped shut, she
assumed everything that was left on the other side, including the love of her life, was lost to her forever.
However, he was here and it made even less sense. Anak simply did not possess the strength to open
the gate between the universes, not alone anyway, but he seemed to have found a way, and she knew
without a doubt that it was found through the power of Darkness.
He wasn’t the same as he was before. There was something different about him, something broken.
He was himself and yet at the same time, he wasn’t the man she remembered. The man she loved, the
man she spent years with, only to have to turn away from him just days after she found out she was
carrying his daughter. She never even had the chance to tell him. She never got to share the news of
their creation and watch the joy spread across his face, the proud look of a father. She imagined what
it would have been like, the celebration, the years spent raising a child together and building a life and
a love that would continue endlessly. She spent years creating and recreating their story line. She spent
years awaking from her dreams to the disappointment of her reality.
Before Nana returned to the temple to check on Alexa, she spent some time watching the man that still
somehow possessed her heart. He was angry. His own heart turned to a cold, black block of ice. She
looked at the situation from every possible angle. There was no way to reach him, no way to pull him
out of the world he had created for himself. He was lost, dark and a danger to everyone. There was no
way she would be able to bring him back to her. She knew this was the truth, but she also knew that no
matter what the truth was, it wouldn’t stop her from trying.
She let herself imagine for a moment what life could have been like for them if everything hadn’t gone
so completely opposite of what they had planned for their lives together. She would have stayed there
forever, watching him and waiting for him and imagining dreams she would never live, but the call of
her granddaughter’s need for her was a strong one that brought her back to the present. There may
never be a time or place for her and Anak. With that thought, in her ethereal form, invisible to his eyes,
she kissed him goodbye.
She told herself it was her heart, her hope for a better outcome that made her believe that she heard
him calling her name as she once again left him behind.

About Jessica Cage:
I
am a young mother who at one point gave up on my dream to be a writer
because everyone told me there was nothing in it for me. After having
my son, I questioned, how can I inspire him to follow his dreams,
reach for the stars, if I do not do it myself. Yes I have made some
mistakes, slip ups and all, (some very embarrassing), but instead of
tucking my tail between my legs and running away to hide, I stepped
back a bit, cleaned up my act and now I am hitting the pavement hard.
I am inviting all who are interested to come along with me on my
journey as I seek to grow and improve as a woman, a mother, and a
writer.
