But speaking of dreams, I had another one myself just last night. And this time, I can remember it…

I had just drifted off to sleep beside Sir in his massive bed when I suddenly found myself standing in front of the golden throne and the girl with the long blonde hair. This time, I recognized her.

“Charlotte!” I exclaimed happily.

“Elli!” She came down off the throne and gave me a big hug.

“How are we talking?” I asked her when we broke our embrace. “I thought we couldn’t communicate once I left my home galaxy?”

“But now your powers have fully manifested,” she reminded me. “You’re reaching out to me as much as I’m reaching out to you and we’re able to meet in the middle. And speaking of your La-ti-zal powers…you did it!” she told me. “You saved our galaxy! I’m so proud of you—I knew you could do it.”

“I wasn’t sure myself,” I admitted. “And things got sticky for a while, but now everything is just peachy.”

“Yes, I can see it is.” She smiled and looked down at my gently rounded abdomen. “Looks like you and that Korrigon of yours are expecting.”

“Yes, we are.” I smiled at her. “Maybe after I have my baby, I can come visit you and we can meet in person. But I can’t right now—it’s not safe for me to use the Korrigon way of traveling while I’m pregnant.”

“Of course it’s not,” she said gently. “But I thought you might like to know about someone you left behind back in your home galaxy—someone I believe you were worried about.”

“Natalie!” we said at the same time.

It was true, I had been worried about the other human girl I had met back on O’nagga Nine. I couldn’t stop thinking of how she was stuck on that awful, freezing planet with no way off. I had tried to send her a dream, but maybe I didn’t know her well enough, because I couldn’t tell if she had gotten it or not. The nagging worry I had about her was the one thing that kept my happiness in my new life with Sir from being complete.

“You don’t have to worry about Natalie anymore,” Charlotte said, smiling at me. “She is going to be taken care of.”

“What? How? By who?” I demanded. “Can you send someone to check on her, since you’re in the same galaxy with her?”

Charlotte shook her head.

“I don’t need to. For her defender will find her. They will face dangers and obstacles together, much as you and your Korrigon did, but they will triumph in the end and Natalie will have the life she always dreamed of.”

“But I don’t know what life she dreamed of, other than getting off O’nagga Nine,” I protested. “And who is this ‘defender’ you’re talking about?”

Charlotte gave me a mysterious look.

“That’s not for you to know, I’m afraid. But maybe someday you and Natalie will meet again and you’ll be able to see the Goddess’s will in her life.”

“I’d like that,” I said. “Though I’d like it even better if I could find out now.”

Charlotte laughed.

“That’s very nosey of you, Elli. But I think that’s why I like you—you remind me of my friend, Zoe.”

“I’d like to meet her, too,” I said. “And your other friends too—as soon as I have the baby.”

“It’s a date,” Charlotte said, grinning at me. “But for now, I need to get back to my own galaxy. I’ll see you again later, in your dreams. And someday, in person.”

“Someday,” I murmured as Charlotte and her throne faded into mist and the dream let me go. “Someday…”

“What’s that, my darling?” Sir mumbled, stirring in the bed beside me. “Someday, what?”

“Oh, it’s nothing,” I said, cuddling close to his side and breathing in his spicy scent. “Just a dream I had.”

“Mmmph,” he murmured, putting one long arm around me. “All right. As long as it wasn’t a nightmare.”

I sighed contentedly and snuggled up to my Korrigon husband and Master, feeling perfectly at peace at last.

“No, it wasn’t a nightmare—it was a beautiful dream. I just hope someday it will be a reality.”
