Aeryn Sun was tired. It seemed she was more so today then in the past weeken. Leaning back into her seat, she stared out into deep space, and watched the brilliance colors of the wormhole as it opened.
She sat there waiting as her family gathered for the family reunion they celebrated every two cycles. Her and John's family had enlarged with each new generation. She had lived a long and glorious life. The time was coming for her to move onto the next realm where she knew her love awaited her.
She remembered back at his passing how their family had gathered. Weakly John had told each one of his love and how he knew his life would carry on through them. At the end, he had taken her hand and placed it next to his face. He had murmured, as the breath was leaving his body, "Sic itur ad astra."
Through the tears, she had kissed his still warm lips and let her shaking hand trace the outline of his beloved face. She had kiss him once more as she whispered her love for him and promise to join him soon.
One hundred and fifty cycles later, she was more then ready to.
She was so tired; maybe she could rest her eyes for a moment. Closing her tired eyes, John's image appeared before her. He was here. No, it couldn't be. How could he be so young?
Moving close, he took her into his arms. She could feel him. Smell his sent. Leaning his head down he kissed her on the lips. The sense of completion flowed over her like a warm blanket. She realized it was time to join him. When he pulled back, he smiled as she whispered the words he had whispered so long ago. "Thus one goes to the stars, such is the way of immortality."
