Prelude

  "Nothing really dies as long as it's not forgotten..." With his last breath, the light was snuffed from his eyes. He faded as a whisper, folded into the waiting arms of dreams as he disappeared.

  A single tear trickled down her cheek. She would make sure he remained within the light encompassed by a peace that surpassed all understanding.

  The Pennsylvania state shrunk as the plane lifted further into the fog of clouds, soaring into the clear blue skies as the tapered nose veered left. At last, they were headed back home to sunny California. Chancing a glance at the ring clutched within the palm of her hand, a watery smile unfurled.

  I am only Master.

  The intricate, scripted letters gleamed inside the band; a symbolic promise touched with rays of sunlight that streamed through the small domed window. Such words could no longer hold her in bondage, free to live a life devoid of eyes within the shadows. Although the experience alone had indeed changed her, it wouldn't define her character.

  Afterall, she was her only master.
