Closed - Plot: Endless effects (Sunday)
She'd hung around the complex long enough to ascertain that no one was hurt, that there seemed to be no lasting effects of the explosion. No one seemed to know what had happened, what had caused the explosion or how the complex had rebuilt itself.
Mara had looked around for December as she cultivated a theory of her own. The Endless had made the Complex a safe spot -- what if it had simply absorbed and stored the magic instead of releasing it? What if the explosion had been the cumulation of all the magic they thought it was deflecting. She wondered if the base had experienced anything similar.
She went home, absorbed in these thoughts and fell into a quick, deep sleep. She normally dreamed, normally remembered her dreams, but they were nothing compared to the clarity of this dream. She could feel the dew from the grass as it wet her feet. She could smell the gentle scent of jasmine on the breeze that caressed her skin. She didn't know where she was but it was beautiful and peaceful. It felt like the complete opposite of someplace she would have made after Lucifer had left her.
She knew when the other woman joined her, knew that she was just as surprised to find herself here as Mara was. No, not Mara. Mazikeen.
"Hello Mother."
"Hello, Mazikeen. Beautiful place, isn't it?"
"Yes."
"I wonder if Eve will invite us to tea?"
