Thank you....Truly. You're amazing for doing this...(goes to the library)

Meanwhile in the Library

Hey, Gale? You busy?...

{He closes his book and looks up} Of course not. What's on your mind?

I wanted to ask you something...

Anything.

You wanna visit the Astral Plane? Meet my family, see the stars, visit a few planets, watch stars explode....It'll be fun.

What would be lovely and all, but I'm not exactly cut out for that, and I'm sure you aren't either.

Araavos granted me temporary godhood...I could give it to you too

You sure you wanna do that? That's a lot of power..

I thought it'd be great to show you where I grew up....Take you around my solar system...

No no, I love the idea, but what if we.... You know the last time I had power I ... took things to far, I wanted more...

It's okay, I won't let anything bad happen. I swear

Alright then. So how does this work?

(touches his hand to attempt to give him some power)

The power has been granted

Did it work, Gale? Are you okay?

Yeah... I feel.... powerful.....

Good. Careful, okay? I don't want things to go haywire...

Lead the way

(leads him to her family home)

You still sure you wanna do this? I mean, we can go home...

Are........ are you nervous?

You've never met them. You only changed their past...I'm just worried how it's going to go...

Hey, they're your parents. It's up to you. We can circle back to them another time if you feel it would be better to see for yourself alone. If not then I'm here.

No, it's okay. I'm fine

Then after you.

(knocks on door to her family's home)

As Rilith and Gale knocked on the door to Rilith's family home in the ethereal expanse of the Astral Plane, a sense of anticipation and trepidation filled the air. The home, once a sanctuary tainted by tragedy, now emanated a warm and inviting aura. Upon crossing the threshold, they were greeted by Rilith's parents, their forms bathed in a gentle, otherworldly glow. Rilith's mother, her eyes filled with unconditional love, spoke first. "My dear child, how I've longed for this moment. We've missed you so, and we're immensely proud of the person you've become." Rilith's father, his voice carrying a tone of profound joy, joined in. "You've brought someone special with you, I can see. Gale, isn't it? You have our deepest gratitude for bringing happiness into our Rilith's life. Your presence here brings light to our existence, and we welcome you both with open hearts." The love in their words was palpable, and as they enveloped Rilith and Gale in a warm embrace, the weight of the past lifted, replaced by a sense of belonging and acceptance in this ethereal haven.

(trying to contain her tears. the memories of her previous childhood were never erased, so seeing her family so happy, knowing what it could've been, is still overwhelming to her) It's good to see you two, Mom and Dad...

"My dear Rilith," Rilith's mother said, her eyes brimming with love as she held her daughter's hands. "We are here, alive and well, in this beautiful realm that connects our hearts. Our happiness comes from seeing you, our beloved child, thriving and surrounded by love. The past is a tapestry of what-ifs, but this moment, being with you now, is real and filled with the warmth of our enduring love." Rilith's father nodded, his smile tender and reassuring. "You've grown into a strong, compassionate soul, Rilith. We take pride in the person you've become, in the love you've found with Gale. Our existence here in the Astral Plane is a continuation of our shared journey, and we embrace each day with gratitude for the moments we spend together. The love between us transcends realms, and we're here to walk beside you, offering support and unwavering affection in this extraordinary place and beyond." With a heartfelt embrace, they conveyed a sense of eternal connection, reminding Rilith that their bond was not limited by the boundaries of any realm.

Thank you both...I'd love to stay, but I did promise Gale I'd show him around

"Understandable, dear Rilith," her mother said with a gentle smile, while her father nodded in agreement. "Enjoy your time together, and remember, our love travels with you wherever you go. Have a wonderful time showing Gale around. We'll be here when you return." With those words, they both offered a reassuring embrace before Rilith and Gale ventured off into the astral wonders, their love serving as a guiding light for their daughter's journey.

(looks at Gale) What do you want to see first? I can show you anything.

This is your domain. What do you wish to show me?

(smiles) Maybe we can take a space ship to the Astral Sea? It's quite beautiful!

You remember you're gods and don't need a ship..

(laughs) Right. Don't really need a ship. Let's just go

Follows

In the vast expanse of the Astral Sea, Rilith and Gale found themselves surrounded by a mesmerizing tapestry of swirling colors and radiant lights. The air shimmered with iridescent hues, and distant stars glimmered like ethereal diamonds against the backdrop of the astral void. Floating islands, each adorned with fantastical structures and lush gardens, drifted gracefully amidst the astral currents. Celestial beings, their forms aglow with otherworldly energy, traversed the space with graceful movements. Enigmatic portals, resembling shimmering doorways made of stardust, beckoned to unknown realms. The sound of harmonious cosmic melodies filled the air, creating a sense of serenity and wonder. Everywhere they looked, the Astral Sea revealed a realm of boundless beauty and mystery, inviting them to explore its enchanting secrets.

Beautiful, right? (Smiles at Gale)

It really is.

I'm glad. I really want to make sure you're having fun. I've been here my whole life. It means a lot you get to experience it too...

{he takes your hand} I'm glad as well. Thank you for sharing this with me. {He leans in to kiss you as a pod of astral dolphins seem to dance around you}

Of course. (Gently grabs onto one of them)

Perched atop astral dolphins, Rilith and Gale glided through the Astral Sea with effortless grace. The dolphins' forms shimmered with translucent hues, their bodies seemingly composed of the very essence of the astral realm. Each movement created ripples of vibrant colors in their wake, leaving a trail of stardust behind them. The dolphins propelled forward with swift yet gentle strokes, navigating the astral currents with an innate understanding of the ethereal sea. As they rode, the companions felt a profound connection to the astral creatures, their bond deepening with every surge forward. With the wind in their hair and the astral sea stretching endlessly before them, the companions embarked on their astral journey, guided by the enchanting presence of their astral companions.

Magnificent creatures.

I know, right?

Guided by the astral dolphins, Rilith and Gale journeyed until they reached a magnificent celestial waterfall, its cascading waters glimmering with the light of a thousand stars. The dolphins, with a flick of their ethereal tails, gracefully led them to the edge of this celestial wonder before bidding them farewell. With a gentle nudge and a shimmering leap, the astral dolphins returned to the depths of the Astral Sea, leaving Rilith and Gale in awe of the breathtaking sight before them. The celestial waterfall seemed to flow from the very fabric of the astral realm, its melodious waters echoing with cosmic harmonies, inviting them to marvel at the wonders of the Astral Sea.

Wow...Celestial Waterfall...

It's still not as beautiful as you.

(blushes and smiles) Aw, stop it.

Even blind I will never stop, for this moment will always live on in my mind.

Gale then disrobes himself and proceeds to undress you. There, on the shores of the celestial sea, with the waterfall as the backdrop. He kisses you passionately and and you make love among the stars.

I can show you more, or we can go back.

The night is ours, it's whatever you want to do

(takes his hands) Then come on. There's more I want to show you...

In a secluded corner of the universe, far from the reaches of mortal eyes, Rilith and Gale beheld a mesmerizing spectacle: the birth of a new galaxy. Nebulas of vibrant hues swirled and condensed, giving birth to countless stars that sparkled like diamonds in the cosmic tapestry. Massive celestial clouds, pregnant with the promise of life, coalesced into planets and moons, dancing in a celestial ballet around newborn suns. The ethereal glow of starlight illuminated the birthplace of this cosmic marvel, casting an enchanting radiance upon the ever-expanding galaxy. Rilith and Gale stood in silent awe, witnessing the extraordinary cycle of creation in the vast expanse of the universe, a testament to the boundless wonders that unfolded in the secret corners of existence.

Even though I've lived here since birth, I'd never seen something like this....it's amazing....

We literally just witnessed the birth of an entire galaxy.

Duh! It's fucking gorgeous!

As the evening draws to a close, you return home and head off to bed, the memories of the night still lingering in your minds. You fall asleep in each other's loving embrace as your power fades, and you breathe again, mortal once more
