Excerpt:
Taranis watched Tara climb onto her
moped. She ran her fingers through her short black hair before pulling
on her helmet. Mortals would never have been able to see so clearly, but
even from across the street he could make out every detail of the art
that was etched across her muscular yet feminine arms. They were
drenched in color from the corner of her shoulder to the tips of her
elbows. On one arm he saw a frog and a crow alongside the Puerto
Rican flag, which was the heritage she had chosen in this new life.
There was even a flamenco dancer adorned in a pink and green gown,
forever frozen in her graceful dance. The other arm displayed a garden
of colorful flowers— roses and lilies in blue, black and orange.
Taranis imagined the fragrance of those flowers would be more
intoxicating than any within the earth because they were drenched in her
natural scent. He also noticed that mixed in among the tattoos that
spoke of her Latino heritage; there was also a Celtic tribal band
wrapped around her left ankle. Taranis knew it was a sign that a part of
her was still drawn to the life she had lived before—the life he had
been a brief but traumatic part of.
Taranis pushed the negative memories
away. This was a new era. A new world. One where anything was possible.
There were times when the magic of technology seemed to dwarf the powers
of the gods themselves. First sign language and then computers with
their artificial voices had made it much easier for Taranis to blend in
among the mortals. Taranis especially loved the women of the
twenty-first century. They were so bold and fearless, unafraid of
demanding equality from their male counterparts. Tara was a prime
example of that feminist drive. It seemed in each life time, she grew
even stronger and more durable. He admired her strength and
perseverance, but he also saw the sad and lonely woman she hid beneath
the tough and snarky façade.
For two years he had watched her,
yearned for her, but he was biding his time and building her trust. He
had interacted with her in his human guise. Yet, he hadn’t given into
the temptation to pursue anything more than a casual friendship, even
though her smile insinuated she was open to more. He knew it was fear
that restrained him. Each time he thought about romantic innuendos, he
remembered Calista lying dead in his arms with blood dripping down her
pale neck. Still, he hungered for Tara with a passion unlike anything he
had ever known. He had waited centuries for her to return to him after
his failure with Calista. He was sure that in this new world where their
paths had finally crossed again, he would find a way to make her love
him. He didn’t want to risk her life, but Taranis had a secret hope. He
believed the very characteristic that she considered her greatest flaw
would be the one thing that ensured their happiness in this life and all
that followed.
