Dragonsapien (17 page)

She leaned
forward, kissed him. A kiss that was already delicate and light but
was swiftly becoming lighter, lighter, fading quickly, as life was
fading from Celly.

Jake clutched
her to him, using the hand that held the small, green dress,
cradling the beginnings of their daughter close between
them.

The light of the
shimmering water swam about them, blending them, such that anyone
seeing them wouldn’t know anymore where one began and the other
ended.

The wings,
weakening, dying, yet given a false sense of life by the flowing
blue light, crumpled about them, enveloping them, caressing
them.

Like a
cocoon.

Like a
sapphire-shelled egg.
