her, blinking in shock.
"What happened?" she asked aloud. The sound of her own voice seemed unfamiliar and strange.
"It was The Council of the Seventh House. They finally came to your aid," Michael said, standing.
He slowly walked out of the meditation room through the rubble of the mountain as everyone followed behind him. He came to stand before the blocked exit. Rocks flew away from the entrance as if flung backward. Light streamed through the opening until the entrance was clear.
On the other side, there stood a group of exquisitely beautiful beings, dressed in white, shining like the light of the sun. "You changed your mind?" Michael asked.
"They have proven themselves worthy. With the aid of their guardian perhaps, but you have proved they are ready to ascend and that they do not agree to subjugation. We will not allow the Anu on this planet from this point forth."
"The Anu are manipulative. They work around the prime directive to get their way. We can no longer allow them to do this."
"We have come to agree, Michael. We want to offer you back your place on the Council. We need a mind like yours which is ready to see things differently. Even to break rules when need be."
Michael looked down at Magda, light in his eyes. Her heart fluttered. Would he leave her?
"I have come to realize that my place is here on Earth. I will remain and help humanity build a better future,” he said, putting his arm around Magda.
"Very well. Now that Earth has come of age and is ready to become part of the Federation, we will be available to help you at any time."
The Council blinked out of sight. Everyone was silent for a moment before the entire population of the mountain erupted in a mighty cheer. Michael turned to Magda and took her in his arms.
"We did it," she whispered in his ear. "We really did it."
"This is the dawn of a new day, my love. The future holds the most brilliant of possibilities and we will help Earth grow into its full potential. You and I will oversee this world for millennia, side by side."
"Millennia?" she asked. She was eighteen but she knew she would die within the next hundred years.
"As my beloved mate, you will take on my life span. We will work together to ensure the development of your home. Generations will stretch out before us and our own children will grow to help us in this task. Your race will become one of the greats and will someday sit on the Council as well."
"Oh, Michael," she said between kisses. "I can't wait."
