Chapter 1 – The First True Kiss - Jon

Alar Jade walked out of his room and headed down toward the exit.  He walked outside, and squinted at the glaring light from the sun.  He loathed Wayland, but it was the easiest place for him to hide out at the time being.

He headed for the docking bay, and climbed the ramp into his ship The Adnulir.  The ramp closes as he takes off and flies into the upper atmosphere.  He punches a few numbers into his Nav-Computer and star-lines form as he pulls back on the hyperspace lever.

A few days later, he climbs out of his ship and boards a transport.  He rides it to a small village on the outskirts of town.  He disembarks and walks up to one of the houses.  He buzzes at the door, and it slides open.  He fiddles with his hands in his pockets as he walks inside.

Sitting on the couch in a long-flowing black dress is a beautiful young woman.

"Hello Alar," she says as he enters the room, "it's so nice to see you again!"

"Yeah, Sweetie, I know…" he says to her. 

He sits on the couch next to her and they begin to kiss.  After a second, Alar pulls back.

"I can't do this anymore…"

He reaches into his pocket as sweat begins to pour down his face.

"What's the matter, Alar?"

Alar gets up off the couch and bends down on his knees.  He reaches up and takes her left hand into his.

"Kyndra, will you marry me?"

He slides the ring out of his pocket and holds it up for her to see.  She begins to cry, as she smiles and says "Yes! Yes, I will marry you!"  He slides the ring onto her finger and stands up, smiling.

He sits back down on the couch and kisses her again, more passionately than before.  He leans her back and slowly begins to remove her gown, grinning ear to ear.
