Jessie looks out the window, past the rim of the nearby forest, to a sparkling expanse of blue-grey
silk embedded with glittering diamonds that are reflected in her eyes. The pale orange-yellow hue
of a burning ball of fire dips slowly into a black abyss at the edge of the silken vision.
She looks beyond it, remembering a girl of blue-grey crystal, a boy of burning flame and their war
against the darkness of the abyss, the void, the Beast.
A man stands in a doorway across the room, seemingly mesmerized by the colors, reds, oranges,
burning, fiery, threads of gold. A soft whimper echoes in the silence, the colors flash together, as if
coursing over a waterfall.
Jessie stares down at the tiny infant in her arms, as he nestles closer to her. She smells a faintly
familiar scent and turns her head slightly as a smile enters her eyes.
"Jon."
The figure in the doorway approaches and stands beside her. His hand slips to the threads of gold
he had but admired, his gaze takes in the bowed fiery red halo and the pale ivory bundle, softly
sleeping, his wife and son. Jessie turns once more to the ocean beyond and the setting sun.

Zera turns her head to the nearby tiny form, once again in wonder. Pyrus holds her hand as he
sits on the bed beside her reclining form, looking to his son... their son.
A clear crystal cradle holds the softly sleeping child.
Across the room, Jade, Graveheart, Cryos, Tekla, Femur and Zula stand at the foot of Zera's bed,
all staring at their newest arrival in awe.
Within the cradle, the child lies, a son born of fire but not fire himself, of ice, but neither is he that.
Lying unbeknownst of his meaning, innocently bearing an answer to an age old question of peace
and identity... Lying *there*... a child of *stone*.
Graveheart smiles.
"A new era of peace is starting here, my friends, this child represents our heritage, a union of not
two worlds but three. Three worlds of War."
Zera looks again at the babe, 'One day, my son, I shall tell you the story of the two who gave you
life...the two who gave me my love.' She looks at Pyrus, lightly squeezing his hand, he turns to
her, smiles and whispers,
"Thank you, my love, For our son."
They look once more at the sleeping infant.
The room's occupants save the babe reflect on two heroes from the past that may have left but
would never be forgotten, Jonny and Jessie, and silently say... 'Thank you'.
