Re: Across the Far Horizon (CC ALL, Mature) Part 58- 12/06/10
Posted: Tue Dec 07, 2010 9:27 pm
Thanks again for following along. These last couple parts, particularly the one preceeding with Isabel have struck a nerve. I pray that I have not caused any pain with my story. But it is something Yelena would offer as one of the Fey. There are several parts between the resolution of that part and this one. I will try to expidited it, but there are things that have to happen first.
valentinebaby- Thanks. Tess in this story is tragically flawed. She has done evil, the question is whether or not she IS evil. As for Isabel, that choice is HARD. Very hard. On personal reflection, much harder than I thought it would be.
mary mary- Thanks. Feel free to pm me if needed. (The two banners look good, I just need to figure out how to use them.... Thanks.) As to the other, well I think you make very good points. Particularly in the fact that you are RIGHT. Yelena did not promise the child its life, but rather a life. And that choice will haunt her either way.
Mt. Gazer- Thanks as always my friend. I am sorry if I have caused you any untoward pain. You are perhaps more familiar than most on this board how fast my muse can can take me, and how far I am willing to go. Thank you for sharing your story with us. And like Ginger, I am sure that an angel watches over you. God bless, and be well, my friend.
begonia9508- Thanks. This Tess is tragically flawed. Your comparison to Jekyll and Hyde is perhaps apt, only made worse by imagining Hyde conscripting Jekyll into surving him even when he sleeps. There is good in her, or was. WHo knows if we will run into her again, and if we do what this will do to change her.
keepsmiling7- Thanks. As to Tess, perhaps.

Across the Far Horizon part 59
Liz
Liz Parker did something she never thought she would ever do again.
She woke up.
Moreover she woke to the appealing prospect of Max holding her body, spooning with her. The warmth filled her.
She had thought herself irrevocably lost. And now she was here safe in bed with the man she loved. She could not help the tears from flowing.
Tess had saved her. Tess!
Liz began to tremble. She simply couldn’t help it.
Max tightened his hold on her. “Liz?”
Liz wriggled under the covers to face him. “Max. Oh, Max hold me. I thought I was lost.” Liz stared into his eyes, “It was you. You and Tess…. But you were the one who healed me.”
“I was helped. Tess did something. I, I really don’t know. But I was helped.” He blinked back tears, looking her deeply and lovingly into her eyes. “Someone opened your eyes Liz.” His voice was full of wonder, “Someone or something.”
Liz stroked his cheek, “My agnostic getting religion?”
Max chuckled and kissed her, “I remember Liz. I remember it all. So many memories.” He shook his head, “It is all real. Heaven and Hell. Good and Evil. And life after life we have stood against the darkness. Sometimes holding it at bay, at other times pushing it further back.”
Liz felt herself grow still for just a moment. Max truly was a Scion now. Would he still want her? She was a powerful Wizard in her own right, but would he still want her now that his memories had returned? “I see…. Maybe I should go?”
Max looked at her, fear and doubt filling his eyes. “Go? Why? Liz don’t you understand? Life after life, you and I find each other. Not always as we might wish, but we find each other.” He swallowed deeply, “Without you I am always lost. I need you Liz Parker. I, I love you.”
Liz felt a bubble of joy float up inside of her. Purest joy. “Say it again!” For she had looked deep into his eyes, deep enough to see the soul that dwelt therein.
Max had spoken only the truth. And in his eyes she could see flickers of who she had been. Different people and yet always the same woman. Always herself.
Max just smiled and pulled her close. “I love you, Liz. From the deep past until Final Judgment, I love you. And beyond. Say you will be with me always?”
Liz said, her tears joining his, “Always and forever until the end of time. And beyond.” And she kissed him.
-------
Liz stared at the ceiling as she tried to recover her breath. The whole experience had been mind blowing.
More so than she’d expected. She hadn’t been surprised at the orgasm. They happened frequently with Max. More than with any other man. Was it her soul recognizing his, or was it simply that his body could remember exactly how to make her explode?
Did it matter?
Liz would have to ask Maria about the rings she had given her. Originally they had been for Liz and Max, but since she had known she was about to die anyway… And what Maria shared with Michael was special in its own way. They were as meant to be together as Liz and Max.
No those rings would add a level of intimacy Liz was eager to share with Max.
And then there was what she had seen. That had been a first. Always before her visions had been personal, Dealing with either what would happen to her or her friends, or with a great deal of concentration some minor events in someone else’s life. Never before had she seen something like this.
For a brief moment, at the height of her bliss, she had felt fate itself. Had tasted a tiny portion of eternity.
There were things moving now, aboard this boat and beyond that had to happen in their time. And others that had to be stopped at all cost.
But the later needed to wait.
Sure, stopping it sooner would be much better than later. Safer too.
Other things HAD to happen first. Liz wasn’t sure exactly what they were, only that she would be summoned for them. That she HAD to stay here with Max.
“Liz?”
And while that sounded wonderful. Sounded better than any other alternative, truly. There were things she HAD to do.
Why did she have to do them? Liz wasn’t sure. Just that they needed to be done.
Liz rolled out of bed and summoned a tiny ball of light to her hands. One tiny flame tattoo lit up, the spell token she used to channel the energy for it. She looked around her and nodded.
They were on the Far Horizon. In one of the suites.
Max sat up, “Liz what is wrong?”
She looked over at him, “Nothing, love. Just need to get a little cleaned up. And then I need you to help me do some things.”
Max shook his head in mock disapproval. “More of your arcane wizardry? Liz Parker, you should know better than to try to corrupt a pure Mage Adept and Scion like me with your suspect ways.”
Liz used a tiny zephyr tattoo on her left hand to pick up and throw a pillow at her lover.
It naturally devolved from there.
There really were things she wanted to do before the night was over. But there was time enough for this.
Time enough for love.
