“I know that everything has a price,” Tarek said. “Love in particular.…”
“Tarek, Tarek.… Indeed, there is a price for everything. But not the way you imagine.… You see, inside a capsule that reached Nayur was only one survivor. His name is Anuk. Unfortunately the woman could not make it. The Edenean, revengeful, took advantage of his powers and created the Vorex, or the elixir of youth as some call it, an extremely dangerous drug by means of which he has managed to control Serenia, Nayur, and Neteria. And I have just learned that the Tzulu merchants and Anuk have made a pact and before long they will start an invasion.…”
“So what do you want from us?” Tarek asked.
“What I want? I want you to help me stop them.”
“We? How could we stop an invasion?”
“We are trying to put together an army with the help of the Edeneans from the other systems. But it is not easy at all, not with us living so isolated.… We are fewer and fewer. That is why we need disciples.… That is why we need you.…”
“Oh yeah? And what’s in it for us? If what we were looking for was just a drug, how am I gonna get my youth back?”
“Relax, Tarek. There is another way by which you can get what you want.…”
“OK, OK, I get your point,” Lerman said. “It’s a nice story. Drugs, armies, beings of light.… But what if we say no?”
“It is your choice, of course. But think.… Tarek will never be young again.… And you…you will never be with Suara again.…”
“Suara? What are you talking about? Isn’t she gonna.…”
“No, Lerman, you are wrong.”
All of a sudden, at a sign of Uezen, Suara made her appearance in the room. As beautiful and young as when she had got off the Tzulu merchants’ shuttle.
“It can’t be!!!… It can’t.… It can’t!!”
“Yes, it can, my love,” Suara said approaching.
She hugged and kissed him the way only she knew how to.
“I missed you so much, Lerr!”
“Suara, my love!” Lerman said and broke into tears.
Then Uezen told them how Naej had managed to persuade her to give up the idea of leaving for Serenia and follow the Zettic path instead.…
“Naej, I knew it.…”
“Hey, what about me?” Tarek asked.
Uezen came up to him and patted his shoulders.
“As I said…be patient, Tarek. All in good time.…”
