Part XII
Within You All The Time


"Abigail...move quickly."


The tiny spec looked up at the chosen one who had been silent for what seemed like hours. She fluttered her little wings and obeyed, flying towards the chosen one. A bright flash of light filled the chamber and Abigail covered her eyes quickly.

The chosen one watched as Sarah's body jolted from the impact of her spiritual return. A cloud of stardust swirled and settled beside Sarah. Abigail watched as the chosen one stepped closer and laid her hand in the stardust.

The dust settled and began moving like water. Tiny eyes watched as the figure of a body formed in the liquid dust.

The chosen one smiled as she spoke. "Robin you must…"

Another jolt and Robin's body was complete. Blue eyes fluttered open…then green. Sarah quickly reached out and grabbed Robin's hand. They had made it back.

The two women looked at each other in silence. Words would never be able to express what they had just experienced.

"Welcome back."

Robin smiled as the sound of her lover's voice filled her body.

"It's good to be back."

The chosen one stood at the foot of each woman. Something had changed. The merging of their bodies and souls had caused a profound energy to radiate from both women. An energy greater than either could produce alone. She looked closer and with divine vision saw what the normal eye would never see. Robin's features were a little softer. Sarah's a little sharper. Their eyes seem to shine with equal brightness. Their separation had returned them to their own bodies. But they were forever changed. The Chosen One knew they had been smiled upon, but she had no time to explain to the unknowing soul mates.

"We must move quickly. I fear great danger is upon us."

The Chosen One watched as Sarah and Robin moved in perfect timing. They were up and on their feet in the blink of an eye. The movement was unnoticed by the two women but forever implanted in the mind of the tiny spec who had come to cherish both of the women now standing in front of her.

"We are in danger." Robin stated flatly. "Magna will not wait. I can only guess that she is organizing her army as we speak."

Sarah felt her lover tense. She couldn't put it into words but she knew something had changed. She reached out and placed her hand against Robin's arm. " I will go and inform Monroe. We must get to Thrace as soon as possible."

Sarah ran to the command deck, causing heads to turn at her sudden return and the urgency in her voice. "Where is Monroe?"

"Sarah…"

The small blonde looked in the direction of the familiar voice.

"Monroe…we need to speak."

Sarah ushered Monroe to the conference room. He followed quickly and shut the door behind them. He stood alert and ready to execute any command Sarah may have.

"Monroe we need to go on full alert. Inform the crew that we may have a confrontation with Magna again. Soon."

Monroe nodded his head as an uneasy feeling washed over him, but just as quickly he felt it replaced by an even more intense feeling of anticipation as adrenaline began pumping through his veins. He listened as Sarah continued.

"We need to get to Thrace as soon as we can. Put every officer we have on standby and wait until Robin gives the order.

"Robin." Monroe interrupted. "Is she back?"

The smile that crossed the blonde's face was his answer.

"Good to hear." He reached out and gave a quick squeeze to Sarah's arm. "I will prepare the crew." With that Monroe was gone and Sarah headed back in the direction that led to her soul mate. Her thoughts were torn between the ugliness that lay ahead and the beauty of what she and Robin had just shared.

Her new found skills would be put to the test and she felt confident that she would not let Robin down. With that thought her steps became quicker. She needed to get back to the woman who shared her soul.

Monroe carried out his orders and the crew of the Phoenix stood ready for battle. Thrace would be coming into sight soon. Fighter jets were on stand-by and every member of the Phoenix guard waited in anticipation of the battle to come. And what a battle it would be…
