The barge had finally come to a rest in a port in Cairo, Egypt. Morpheus booked passage to Europe on a pirate ship. The pirates were god fearing people and revered the God of Thunder. Even though this was just a title, what they don't know can't hurt them. Or can it?
So they provided their ship for free because of fear of the reprocusions that may happen if they refused.
.
It was the last night of the full moon and it was bright in the sky. The light reflected off the nighttime water as the ship sailed gracefully along. Aramis and Michelle stood against the rail at the edge of the deck. Morpheus and Magnus were across on the other side talking to each other.
Aramis put his arm around Michelle."I used to wonder if I'd ever hold you in my arms again," he said.
Michelle looked at him and smiled ever so beautiful."I feel that our love will stand the test of time and space."
Aramis smiled, "Yes. That's how I feel. We must be soulmates."
"We are each others counterpart."
"Yes," Aramis replied. "I feel so close to you as if I've known you for a 100,000 years."
Michelle giggled, then said, "Maybe we have been and ever shall be each other's destiny."
The light in Aramis' eyes twinkled. The lovers came face to face, then embraced. Their lips touched. His arms moved along her back ever so tense, feeling every part. She put her hands on the back of his head. They both wanted to melt into one another and fly away high into the sky.
Across the deck, Morpheus and Magnus looked. "Well," Morpheus said, "I think we should leave these lovers to themselves. They turned their backs and looked out at the ocean. Just then a family of dolphins began jumping in and out of the water. Morpheus and Magnus laughed at the beautiful creatures whom were now entertaining them.
Michelle and Aramis left the deck and went below.
