had to get ready as well. Telling everyone about this would have distracted us from becoming what we needed to be.”

Cassie looked at Jenna and said, “I love him with all my heart and soul, Mother. I always have and he loves me as well. This is an event that was put into motion thousands of years ago when the original Stars Realm was formed. Everything that has happened was for the purpose of Trey and I coming together.”

Cassie looked at her Father and said, “You are also a part of this. You are a third evolutionary chain that is critical for us in this moment.”

Carter slowly shook his head and said, “I wondered about that. I just couldn’t figure out what my destiny was going to be. I’ve always been troubled by being so different from everyone else.”

“You are what we will have to have to be able to control the massive power that is going to be created. Without you present, all of creation could be destroyed. You are the catalyst for the releasing.”

Ashley looked at Jenna and saw that her anger was gone and she was confused. Ashley said, “Cassandra, this all sounds like some kind of mystical hocus pocus.”

Cassie looked at Ashley, bent her arm, and pushed her hand toward the ceiling. A bright blue beam shot out of her hand and blew a ten foot wide hole through the hardened roof hundreds of feet overhead. Cassie never lost eye contact with the Queen while the beam was fired. “Trey is more than a thousand times more powerful than I am at this moment. When we are joined, our power will grow more than seven trillion times the power of that beam.”

Ashley walked up to Cassie and looked up through the hole and saw the moon. Suddenly alarms started blaring and Glen activated his com, “Your Majesty, something has blow a ten foot hole completely through the moon.”

Glen looked at Cassie and said over the com, “Stand down. There’s no danger to our planet. We’ll make an announcement later about what happened.”

Ashley and Jenna were shocked silent and could only stare at Cassie. “I really didn’t want to have to demonstrate my power but I see you’re having difficulty understanding what’s happening. This is a psychic event that all the others were pushing us toward. It cannot be slowed or stopped.”

Ashley moved back to the throne and sighed, “When and where do you want to hold the wedding ceremony.”

“There will be no ceremony. You will marry Trey and I over the communications channel.”

Jenna started shaking her head and Cassie looked at her mother with love in her heart, “If we physically come together in this universe there is a good chance that all life in it will be snuffed out.” Cassie watched the shock on everyone’s faces and said, “We are going to have to go to a dead universe in order for us to complete the release.”

Carter said, “Will the event kill me?”

“No, but you are the only one in creation that wouldn’t be if you’re close to the event.”

“Why can’t you release yourselves and then come and have your wedding?”

Cassie smiled, “Oh don’t think that I don’t want a wedding. I’ve dreamed about it all my life; but I’m old fashioned and I know that when I finally touch Trey there will be no holding me back from loving him completely. We will be married before that happens. The ceremony will take place when we return.”

Ashley smiled, “Where are you going?”

“To have a conversation we should have had long ago.”

Jenna looked at her daughter and saw the beautiful woman she had become. Her long black hair hung to her shoulders framing a face that was almost ablaze with her excitement. Her blue eyes were shining. She stood and walked over and hugged her tightly. Cassie held her Mother as her tears fell, “Thank you so much for my wonderful life.”

Jenna looked at Ashley and nodded. Ashley looked at Glen and he started talking on his com. Cassie, thought to Trey, “You’re about to get a call from my Grandfather. Please take it.”

“What’s going on?”

“You’re going to marry me.”

“Oh, I was worried it was something bad.”

“This is Trey Robbins, why are you trying to reach me?”

“I have been asked by my Granddaughter to marry the two of you. Are you prepared to make the promises?”

“I’ve been ready my entire life, Your Majesty.”

Jenna felt her tears as Ashley stared, “Do you Scotty Robbins the third promise to honor, love, and cling to….”

Carter looked at his Daughter and felt her power. Now he felt complete. All the questions he always had about his mental ability were answered. He knew his Daughter was marrying the absolute best person for her as he hugged Jenna tightly and felt the hearts of the two most important women in his life. Now he could release his own demons.

Trey teleported to the HMS Scotty Robbins, “Are the two of you comfortable?”

“I feel quite at home but I’m not certain how all these systems are going to be powered. They don’t appear to have connection to the star that was absorbed into the hull.”

“Alex, I’m sure Trey will explain how it all works.”

“You’re right Grace. I’m going to expand my psychic aura for a moment and I want you to tell me what happens.” Trey closed his eyes and expanded his aura until it was outside the ship’s hull.

“Holy…!”

“Watch you language, Alex! There’s a lady present.”

“What happened, Alex?”

“All systems are active and power readings are at forty percent.”

“Good, here’s what’s going to happen. We’re going to teleport to a dead universe momentarily and once we arrive, you will turn on the absorption system.”

“What are we going to absorb?”

“Grace, Cassandra Reese and I are going to come into contact and there will be a release of psychic energy unlike any in the history of creation. I have designed this ship so that fifty percent of that release will be absorbed by the hull. The rest will be released into creation.”

“Will be affected by that release?”

“I suspect you will but you will not be damaged.”

“If that’s the case, I humbly request that I be present when it happens.”

I also ask to be there.”

“Greyson, Jessica, I’m unsure of what effect it will have on you.”

“Even so, I want to be there.”

Trey ran the possibilities through his consciousness and saw that the danger level was lower if they attended, “You may come with us.”

“I will be coming with the Defense Facility as well.”

Trey smiled, “You are also welcome, Gilene.”

“I will also be attending.”

“BC, it wouldn’t be the same without you.”

“I wish Anglo was here to go with us.”

“Me, too, BC.” Trey smiled and sent the universal coordinates to Grace. His excitement grew and he said, “Let’s get this show started.”

The ten mile wide brightly glowing globe disappeared.

Cassie sat with Jenna and Carter and waited for Trey to contact her. She held her Mother’s hand and said, “Everything will be fine. Don’t worry about us.”

Jenna shook her head, “If anything happened to either of you my life would be over.”

Cassie smiled and said, “No, there is more to your life than just us.”

Jenna looked at Cassie as she said, “I’m going to have a brother before the year is over.”
