He watched as Thengise slipped silently into the woods and he felt a stirring in his soul. He thought that he long since lost his. Jecht took a look around the camp. Everything seemed to be safe and ok. Jecht stood up and followed Thengise. The night was silent the stars shown with brilliance in the heavens. He placed his feet carefully trying not to make a lot of noise when he stepped. Though every noise he did make sounded to him like a gong. Then he saw her. She was walking a little ahead of him and seemed to be admiring the stars. She was so beautiful, he thought. But she always had been. He stepped closer and Thengise saw him.
Thengise-Do you believe what I told you?
Jecht- Its hard to...
Thengise-It shouldn't be.
Jecht walked over to her
Jecht-Sometimes when life continually beats you down over and over again, it makes it hard to think that I do...
Thengise stepped closer to him and put her hand around the back of his neck
Thengise-Sometimes life is like that...
Jecht looked deeply into her eyes
Jecht-I've always thought you were beautiful and now I can see the inner beauty in you as well.
Jecht drew Thengise close and kissed her. The stars shown with a particualar brillance that night.
