Cristian got up. His untied robe was fluttering as he gazed at the only woman he had loved in his past life. Stretching his hands toward her, Cristian spoke softly. "Come. I want to embrace you."
His words were dripping with sincerity and extreme longing.
Her lips curled and she turned back, leaping from tree to tree. "You'll have to catch me to get what you want."
Cristian's eyes flashed and he shot forward, running through the field with great speed. His arms and legs moved in sync, increasing his pace as he ran.
Gaia's pleasant laughter seemed to ring from all parts of this beautiful world, filled with lofty mountains, crystal-clear lakes, massive herbivore animals grazing the fields and mesmerizing clouds.
He increased his speed but Gaia got further out of reach. Roar!
